ask your friend to consume more "attama": food.

In a kadai,pour oil and add the three masala items and allow them to fry.
Once wen it is done, add the onions and allow it to fry nicely(Till the raw smell of the onion goes)
Then add the tomato pieces and fry till the skin of the tomato leaves it
Now add the three powders and mix it well with the onion and tomato contents.
Fry them for ½ to 1 min
Now add the coconut threads and fry it till it turns light brown.
Switch off the stove.
Allow the mixture to cool ,add salt and then grind it.

It is a very simple kuruma,which u can make very easily without any vegetables.The taste will also be very nice.It goes well with soft idlies and chappaties.

Kuganka,plz give a try and correct the measurements of the ingredients if required.

Thanks Selviem for the grilling recipes.
Selviem, please do not say sorry.
We all at times slip when typing recipes.
Its a small matter. The service you are doing is very great.
Thanks Selviem. Kugan98

Dev, glad that the pepper idlis came out well.
I called my aunty to tell her.
She asked me why don't you post forgotten
recipes like moor maavu, moor kali, urad dal porridge
and things like that. Well I said they are not healthy recipes.


Dev I cooked your healthy kitchadi.
I over blowed your whistle once.
The kitchadi is a bit gooey, but very, very yummy.
