Selviem, I am glad that you liked the rava roti.
Has your son come back from the trip?
What did you cook for New year?
Thanks and take care, Meerra

WOW! NOV uncle, the tayir vadai looks fanastic.
I was just drooling over the picture.
I will just hop over to Saravana Palace, when I yearn for tayir vadai.
Sure to try the recipe, one of the week ends.
Thanks uncle, Meerra.

Thanks uncle Madhu, take care.
Note: Gun pathiram.
My frienzs, a ridgegourd was sitting in my fridge, and starring at me.
Do I decided to make it into a masiyal, and the skin into togayal.
The problem with me is I only cook on weekends and stock up for the whole week.
Here is the masiyal
RIDEGOURD MASIYAL
Ingredients:
1 tsp of oil
¼ cup toor dal
2 dry red chillies broken
1 big ridgegourd remove skin and cut into small cubes
1 tbs oil
A pinch of asafetida powder
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp funugreek seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
1 red chillie broken
5 pips garlic chopped
10 shallots chopped
¼ cup tamarind juice from a small ball of tamarind
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp sambar powder
Salt to taste
Method:
Heat a tsp of oil, add in the toor dal and the broken red chillies.
Fry till the dal gives a nice aroma, remove.
In a pressure cooker, add in the roasted dal, chillie and the ridgegourd.
Add water till the dal is immersed, pressure cook dal, as you would normally.
Remove and smash the dal and the ridgegourd well. Keep aside.
Heat a pan with the oil, add in the seasonings, and let them crackle well.
Add in the chopped garlic and shallots, sauté well till it turns brown.
Add in the tamarind juice, turmeric powder, sambar powder and salt.
Add ½ a cup of water and allow it to boil.
Now add in the cooked dal, and allow it to boil.
Once the masiyal is little thick, remove and serve with rice or roti.
The masiyal looks a bit dark due to the tamarind paste that we get here
Thought of making chettinad mushroom fry today but as my luck would have it, the power went off,,,so started off with the mushroom fry with no solid recipe in mind and it did turn out well...
Yummy No-recipe Mushroom Fry:
1. Clean n slice the mushrooms- 1 pack white button mushrooms
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil. Add 1/2 tsp saunf(sombu), pattai-1 piece, 1 each of krambu and elaichi
3. Once flavourful, add 1 sliced onion, 2 cloves garlic and saute till golden.
4. Add in one small tomato chopped, turmeric pwd, salt, chilly pwd. Search for garam masala and find the packet to be empty. Think... look for KK masala and find no sign of it in the pantry:sigh:
Find a packet of aachi sambar powder. Add 1/4 tsp of it and saute till the tomato turns pulpy.
5. Add the mushroom and mix well, sprinkle lil water and cover with a lid and cook till 3/4th done.
6. . Did a taste tes and found it to be spicy.
7. Grate 1-2 tbsp of coconut and add it to the curry and saute till dry.
8. Did a taste test... still a lil spicy.
9. Add some coconut oil/any vegetable oil and curry leaves and mix well.
10. Taste test... yummm!!!...
11. Take in a plate and taste test a few more pieces...
12. Serve the rest...Goes well mixed with plain rice, curd rice as well as bread. I tried all these combinations today. I'm sure it'll taste good when made into a dosa /chapathi roll.

Thanks Dev, for the super recipe.
By the time I finish cooking your style, of cooking and tasting,
nothing will be left on the pot I believe, I will taste huge portions
Thanks anyway, Dev, I too had Chettinad mushrooms in mind.
Let me see how mine turns out.
Thanks and take care, Meerra
Thanks Selviem for your nice post.
Poor thing your son, food poisoning is a horrible thing.
Let him rest nicely, give him lots of fluids.
Thanks and take care, Meerra
