Medu Vada Recipe - How To Make Medhu Vada(Ulunthu or Ulundu Vadai Recipe)

Medu Vada Recipe - How To Make Medhu Vada(Ulunthu or Ulundu Vadai Recipe):

Medu Vada is a popular South Indian vadai. Among all the Vadai vareities, Medu vada Or Urad dal vada is the most preferred vadai especially in Tamil Nadu. We call it as Ulunthu Vadai. We usually make this with Urad Dal. Even we can give this to 1 year old baby. But we have to give in small quantity. In some families, Ulunthu Vadai is prepared as dinner itself. Plain coconut chutney is the best accompaniment for Medu vada. But it is not must since the vadai also tastes great without any side dishes. Medu vada is a great tea time snack and you can prepare it for your guests to delight them.

Medu vada is also one of the topmost festival recipes. It takes place in every home on the day of Diwali. You can omit onions if you want. Ulunthu vadai is a healthy recipe with the richness of Urad dal. I have already explained the health benefits of Urad dal in my post 'Ulunthamparuppu sadham(Urad dal rice)'.

Arisi Paruppu Sadam - Dal Rice Recipe - Tamil Variety Rice Recipes::

Arisiparuppu sadham was introduced to me by my friend Priya. She is basically from Coimbatore. In Tirunelveli, Thuvaramparuppu sadham(Toor Dal Rice) is famous.

How To Make Ice Cream Without Ice Cream Maker And Cream - Homemade Ice cream

How To Make Ice Cream Without Ice Cream Maker And Cream - Homemade Ice cream:

Actually, I had a plan to make ice cream without ice cream maker. I tried twice with ice cream mixes from two different brands available in the market. I do not remember the brand names since they were not so popular. Both of the times, I was ended up being a sole eater. My hubby did not like it. I threw up half of the ice cream since I was not able to eat alone even after 3 days. My mom told me that ice cream made with custard powder is coming up great. I decided to try it. Most of the recipes were asking to mix cream. I agree that adding fresh cream makes the ice cream tastier. But, I was not able to find small pack of fresh cream and I did not want to buy large pack. So, I decided to try it without cream like my mom tried. Finally, the ice cream came up with a great taste and I had to fight to take pictures. When I took pictures 3/4th of the ice cream got emptied and started melting out. But, I managed to take a picture to post this recipe since it will be really useful for the moms who want to prepare ice cream for their kids without ice cream maker and cream. No cream means less budget, right?

I have posted banana nutella ice cream too.

Paruppu Podi Recipe - How to make Paruppu podi at home

Paruppu Podi Recipe - How to make Paruppu podi at home:

Paruppu podi is a great and tasty accompaniment for plain rice. I tasted it for the first time in 2007 when I was staying in a hostel while working. I remember one of my ever green friends used to bring this to the dining table every time we had rice during weekends. I fondly call her as Sangeetha akka. She is really a nice human being. She is so soft and caring too. She was so kind enough to share paruppu podi with all of us. Even though we had nice kulambu for rice, we usually started the lunch with the it. After that the caterers in my office cafeteria started having it in their daily menu. Paruppu podi tastes yummy and tasty with ghee or gingelly oil while having with hot rice. My mom used to make Paruppu podi at home and she used to give me after marriage. Nowadays I am good enough on making paruppu podi at home on my own:-)

Paruppu podi is a guilt free recipe especially when you are cooking for 2 or for you and your baby. Most of the days, I make fresh toor dal for my little one and I have it. It is so healthy since it is made out of toor dal and also it saves lot of time. So, try this recipe at your home and have a healthy side dish for rice in no time.

Idli Manchurian Recipe - Fried Idli Recipe - Leftover Idli Recipes

Idli Manchurian Recipe - Fried Idli Recipe - Leftover Idli Recipes:

Chill idli/Idli Manchurian/Kaima idli is the best recipe which can be made from idlis. I made this chilli idli/idli Manchurian 3 days before and I asked my hubby to guess what the dish is. He was really confused and he did not even able to think below Paneer. He wondered once I told him that it was Idli manchurian made out of left over idlis. There were four idlis remaining the day before. I kept it in fridge. I did not like to have it even in the next morning since I am not a big fan of Idli. In the evening, I thought of doing something with Idli. When I searched for a Fried chilli idli/Idli Manchurian recipe, I was happy to see that frozen idli has to be used to make it. Idli Manchurian came out very well. It was so crunchy and juicy. Of course, it should be eaten hot and you cannot resist yourself from having immediately.
