Dear Lakshmi!

I regret for the delay in replying to you. I have already posted the recipe for ‘Ennai kathtahrikkaay kuzhambu’ and you can find it in the index. I am not aware of any paruppu podi of ‘Andhra’ But I know about Andhra’s gun powder recipe which Mr.Hemant have posted years back. If you want it, I will post it here.

Dear Pr!

I am glad to know that my tips are useful to you. Thanks a lot for the nice feedback.

Here I am posting a tasty recipe which I tried last week.

SOYA TOMATO FRY:

Ingredients:

Soya balls- 2 cup
Finely chopped tomato- 2 cup
Ginger paste- 1 sp
Garlic paste- 1 tsp
Turmeric popwder- half sp
Finely chopped coriander leaves- half cup
Oil- 4 tbsp
Enough salt

Grind the following ingredients to a fine paste:

Cashewnuts-8, cinnamon- 1 piece, fennel seeds- 2 tsp, Kashmir chilli powder- 1 tbsp

Procedure:

Soak the soya balls in hot water for 10 minutes. Then drain the hot water and again soak the soya balls in chilled water for 10 minutes. Then drain the water. Squeeze the water well from the soya balls using the fingers.
Heat a pan and add the oil. Add the tomato with the turmeric powder and fry them until they are mashed and the oil floats on the surface. Add the ginger and the garlic pastes and again fry it for a few minutes. Add the soya balls and cook them for some minutes until they are well blended with the tomato masala. Add the ground paste and coriander leaves. Cook for some more minutes.
