Mrs. Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies - Part 3

[Mrs.Mano]

Dear Suvai!

Yes, I have tried the millet idly before only with the millet. But I was not satisfied with the result. The idly was soft. But it seemed a little stuck in the center. So I prefer this combination with the idly rice !!

[Mrs.Mano]

Dear Sangeetha!

Here is a Kovaikkai recipe for you! you asked me to give a curry recipe without coconut. So I have given the same here. This is a suitable accompaniment for Sambar, mor kuzhambu etc!
On a view of health point, it is also rich in vitamins, helps in digestion and stimulates liver. It helps enormously for diabetic people.

Mrs. Mano,

It would be a great idea to start region wise recipes instead of mish mash things.
I think Kongunadu cuisine is ane and Chettinadu is another cuisine which you can take up .
There is a great depth in both the cuisines which are so different in nature.
