Pattani sundal

So long this sundal was in my draft. Since Navarathiri is nearing, I do not want to delay. These type of sundal remembers sea shores in Chennai. Small boys hold a closed pail with sundal and sell, 'Thengai, mangai pattani sundal'. I never buy those sundal, will think of the water they use, and get back but I have tasted once. It would be warm sundal in the pleasant windy near the beach. 

I love to keep kolu. we don't have an tradition of celebrating. But never miss attending kolu. During navarathiri, sundal can be given in conned paper too. If they don't want to eat they may fold and take home :)
 

Ada pradhaman - Onam sadya recipes

This is one of the kerala payasam I did for Onam. I cannot post it on that day an do not want to drag for an year too, so posting it now. Do try for any festival or events, it tastes delicious with coconut milk and the rice ada in pradhaman feels like jelly. A rich dessert indeed :)

Beans mezhukkupuratti | Onam sadhya recipes

Beans mezhukkupuratti is an authentic side dish from Kerala. As Onam is nearing we enjoy everyday a sadya recipe. This is a simple dish with wonderful flavor of shallots and garlic with coconut oil and curry leaves. Without curry leaves flavor there is no Kerala recipe.

You all may be wondering that I am off and on often. Please bare with me. Struggling to be in a schedule. I always love kerala festivals, may be Onam has inspired me to post some recipes :) This is a kind of morkuzhambu that we do in Tamilnadu. The vegetables and the ground paste are different as well as the taste. Try this for Onam sadya...
