Pavakkai Ellukari பாவக்காய் எ

Pavakkai Ellukari பாவக்காய் எள்ளு கறி

A long lost recipe from #Palakkad made using bitter gourd or Pavakkai. They are simmered in tamarind gravy and coated with an exotic spice powder using sesame seeds(ellu). This was sent to us by one of our followers, Ms. Vidhya Prem for #Mothersday saying this was her grandmother's recipe. Needless to say, this recipe has withstood the test of time. Recipe link in my stories.

Pairs incredibly well with rice, dosa, chapati and appam.

Thakkali Kuzhambu | Tomato Curry | தக்கா

Thakkali Kuzhambu | Tomato Curry | தக்காளி குழம்பு

A regional recipe made using tomatoes and slow cooking them in a very unusual spice paste. I learnt this from an old lady from the Kongunaad region while we were shooting for my food and travel show. She was watching the shoot when I got talking to her and she explained how this is made. Sadly, I dknt recollect her name, but this is dedicated to her. Pairs incredibly well with idly, dosai, aapam and idiyappam. Give this a try. Recipe link in my stories today.
