Thayir Semiya, Semiya Bagalabath, Curd Semiya/Vermicelli

          Thayir Semiya, this is something that I make very often at home, in fact I have already posted a recipe, Beetroot Semiya Bagalabath here in my blog, today's version is a slight variation and it's again my friend's recipe. It has a sweetish taste, we add some sugar, raisins and lots of pomegranate. It's a very easy dish, delicious way to end any meal and great for parties too..

Eggless Banana Streusel Cake

          Again I am irregular in my blog postings, want to do at least 3 posts per week, but I am hardly doing two, something or the other comes up and the blog takes a back seat. I had made this Banana Streusel Cake, almost a month back, as usual had a bunch of overripe bananas and wanted to do something with it, other than the banana bread. Streusel Cake had always been on the do list, I love the crunchy and crumbly topping on the cake, we can have any type of cake for the base, since I had bananas lying around, I decided to do a Banana Streusel Cake..

Karuvepillai Kuzhambu, Curry Leaves Curry/Gravy

          Curry Leaves/Karuvepillai, I can't imagine South Indian cooking without this, we season most of our dishes with it and use it in chutneys, podis, we just love the flavor of these leaves. This kuzhambu has been on my do list for so long, I have followed Mallika Badrinath's recipe, it's simple and delicious. We can serve this kuzhambu with rice, idlis and dosas, it's spicy tangy and very flavorful..

Thakkali Dosai, Tomato Dosa

          How many times I make dosas at home, at least 3 or 4 times a week, starting from plain dosas, rava dosa, ragi and other millet dosas, today's dish is another dosa, Tomato Dosa. I have tasted this dosa a couple of times, and usually it's done with freshly done batter, without fermentation, but this dosa today is made after fermenting. When we use fermented batter to make the dosas, it's much easier, just pour and spread like regular dosas. The dosas come out very crispy and tastes very good with coconut chutney and sambar..
