Pavakka Thoran


I'm planning to include some thorans also in this blog. Daily i have to make some thoran, so let me make a big list for all sort of thorans. later i just need to select from the list, right.

B likes pavakka thoran, and he makes the best thoran also. He cut the vegetables so nicely , have to see his cabbage cutting skills.. he tried many times to teach me but i miserably failed.i always end up with some bigger pieces and lose all concentration. Recently i bought a food processor and im just experimenting all functionalities. The thoran cutting is absolutely charming. And the time taken, just a brrrr.....:)  Wow !

So this pavakka thoran i made exactly (or better) than what B makes. Im the happy!!!!

Verdict: I gave 10/10 :) Malu was not so happy so no marks. 

Spinach Rice- Palak Pulao



Inspiration : Edible Garden

B takes rice to office daily, and he dont want any smelly food/ gravy items. So daily its fried rice, just rice mix with some vegetables. He got bored now and so one day i tried this. This of course has a good flavour (so the smell factor failed) but the taste was good. And a better way to make malu eat some spinach. Both of them wanted to avoid the coriander/mint flavour, so next time will try without that.

Verict: Got only 4/10 , the coriander should be avoided .

Kappa Biriyani



Usually i like plain kappa(kappa puzhungiyathu with chilly chutney). But last day we bought some kappa biriyani from a local restaurant and it tasted good. So i tried to recreate it at home. It was ok. But if i get tapioca my first preference will be still the other way.

B liked it. Malu doesnt eat tapioca , so no marks.
