Mrs. Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies - Part 3

[Mrs.Mano]

சாத பகோடா

Last week, with the left over cooked rice, I have made this pakoda. It was very tasty and delicious. When using cooked boiled rice, the batter becomes a little watery after some minutes. So the pakodas must be fried immediately after mixing all the ingredients. There is no need for a side dish like chutney for this. Just ketchup is enough.

Dear Mrs.Mano:
Navrathiri fulla unga payasam recipes than. Preapred the Aval payasam with jaggery this time and it had much enriched taste to it. thanks.

Suvai:
Prepared sundal and payathampaurppu payasam on Saraswathi pooja day. I forgot to make kesari this time(should have seen your post earlier). I know a method of making puli vadai where they dont cook the dough but add kadalai paruppu and puli to the arisi and grind it with red chillies and perungayam. It has a mild taste of the tamarind and keeps well as you have mentioned. The fresh ones directly out of the frying pan can make us eat 10 at a time.

[suvai]

hello nga cdj....thanks for yr version of the puli vadai.....i am positive that is also as tasty...

eagerly waiting for mrs mano avargalin puli adai...
