Uppu and Vella Kozhukattai | Savory and Sweet Rice Dumplings

Savory and Sweet Rice Dumplings

Hope some of you might have had a nice time celebrating Ganesh Chathurthi, everyone’s favourite God, including mine. He is the one I adore so much so that I can call myself a fanatic. Last couple of times I tried to make the Kozhukattais, it came out horribly (I was using rice flour). This time I was determined to make the perfect Modaks and I succeeded. Looks like Lord Ganesh was fed up of eating the bad ones! 🙂 Hence the photo with Himself and His offerings. Enjoy!

Kathirikkai Vathakkal | Eggplant Sauté

Kathirikkai Vathakkal | Eggplant Sauté

It has been a busy couple of days that I haven’t been able to post anything. So I hope I am able to keep up. This post is an adaptation of Guthi Vankaya recipe posted by Mahanandi. I usually make dry fried eggplant, without the fenugreek, but the below recipe for a change, gives such a beautiful aroma that I have fallen in love with it. My husband, B, loves eggplant in all forms and he gave two thumbs up for this recipe.  I hope you like it. Enjoy!
