sorry MM, I fell sick and spent most of the days eating rasam saadham.
new year was no different - no padayal as I was not up to it at all.

But today, I had a nice meal after a long time of sambar, murungai keerai, cabagge kootu, cucumber pachadi and hot prawn sambal to revive my dead tongue. :)

I am sure my friend would be very much interested in the Prawn Sambal. She often complains that I don't cook sea food, if you can give me the recipe, I can pass it to her - Kind of peace therapy (LoL).

And I am interested to note the Sambar recipe too.

Mexicomeat : your Sambar / mint chutney recipes please. Plus, Happy Week at Home.

Please check my blog Karthik. :)

Will post Pratta recipe step-by-step later. :)

Chef,

In Friday Lunch : What is that 'thogaiyal' next to appalam and also what greens are those in the gravy above the rice (Murungai !) ?

Thanks for Pratta Recipe, I am looking forward for the cutlet one too.
