A No Coconut Creamy Peanut Chutney made with Roasted Peanuts, Onion & Tomatoes

Pulao or Palav has been one of my favourite things since childhood .. And this version is made very frequently in our household .. 

I thought the recipe was too basic to be shared here on the blog, but wanted to tell you guys that  MTR Pulao Masala tastes amazing .. I highly recommend trying it, if you haven't used it before

An Easy recipe that I'd been meaning to share for a long time .. The difference between Sasive or Mosaru Sasive & Mosaru Bajji is the addition of Mustard Seeds while grinding the Coconut Paste 

The Addition of Mustard seeds while grinding gives it a subtly Pungent & wonderful flavor

• 1 Bunch Amaranth Greens | Dantina Soppu

Kosambari has always been a part of Every South Indian Festive Menu .. It is also offered as a Naivedya on Rama Navami along with Panaka & Buttermilk.

One of the easiest Kosambari recipes is this One using Moong Dal & Grated Carrots, These days there are a lot of new Kosambari recipes using Sprouts, Sweet Corn, Pomegranate arils but somehow the Carrot-Moong Dal & Cucumber-Chana Dal Kosambari have remained a classic 

Putting together a Kosambari takes all of 5 minutes. All you need to do is to remember to soak the dal at least an hour prior to assembling the Kosambari
