Kudal Kulambu

I could say my passion and interest towards cooking is taking me to all the extents, which i taught I wont do. Since I am vegetarian i wont even like the smell of non veg. Usually i will make my mom to prepare food for me before eating non veg on Sunday's.When the whistle comes while pressure cooking the kudal i will shout at mom, while i am cooking Kudal Kulambu my mom was saying all those things i did. Among all non veg recipes the smell of Kudal is the most i hate, but now after i started cooking i cleaned the Kudal and made Kudal Kulambu. Even i can't believe on me. Yes !! its me all because of my cooking passion and interest.Its for my mom and dad, they just love this Kudal Kulambu a lot. They won't complaint if this Kudal Kulambu fills their tummy on Sunday's.

I have heard from amma saying, my grand ma (dad's mom) will prepare Kudal Kulambu on Sunday morning's and serve along with Idly. Even i have seen in many non veg hotels, Idly and Kudal Kulambu is their most featured recipe. Of course Idly and Kudal Kulambu is the heavenly made combination. You can't even point out a single non-vegetarian saying no this combination.Thought many new dishes are cooked in non veg, idly and Kudal Kulambu is an unbeatable Tamil Nadu's Tradition non veg recipe.

When ever i think of this recipe my attai will comes first into my mind. Because she will say,she feels more energetic after eating Kudal kulambu and i think that is true. Kudal Kulambu has many health benefits. It increases your blood count very soon and so on. 

Kudal Kulambu is very easy to cook so try doing it and eat along with Idly in morning and with rice in afternoon. 

How to clean Kudal

Aatu Kudal - The Lamb Intestine is used to prepare Kudal Kulambu, because it gives a great taste. Making curry using Kudal is easy but cleaning it will take time. In cleaning process we have ensure that there is no smell and extras of kudal we actually get. This process includes many tips and we have to do it perfect to get properly cleaned aatu kudal. I could see many peoples who like and want eat Kudal Kulambu, but unfortunately they don't to clean it properly. Hope this post will be useful for those who want to make Kudal Kulambu in home.My dad is expert in cleaning Kudal, he teaches mom and I learnt it from her. But for the post I asked my mom to clean and i clicked the pictures.

Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani.. !! I hope some of us eyes became big.. Sunday is not only meant relaxing and taking rest, it is also to eat non veg well.. All will be happy if the Sunday menu includes Biryani. For many of us Chicken Biryani is easy to cook and tasty to eat. It is happiest moment for me because i learned to cook tasty Chicken Biryani. I learnt this recipe from my mom. When i asked idea to cook Chicken Biryani every single person said 2 or 3 ideas, Yes everyone having a different way of cooking their Chicken Biryani. The cooking method and ingredients varies for everyone's Chicken Biryani i heard nearly 20 types in cooking Chicken Biryani. I really got confused.

From the day one i started cooking i took a decision should not follow my mom's recipe because then in our home both will cook in same taste finally my dad will get bored. Thought my mom's Chicken Biryani is the world's best Biryani and since this is my first try in Chicken Biryani i taught to following my mom's recipe itself. I have included the step of putting dum. Thought it is not the proper way of putting dum to Chicken Biryani, I did this because it is simple and can be done in home easily and gives a good taste and nice texture to Chicken Biryani. Don't get worried after seeing the recipe ingredients, it's easy and worth to cook.

Many will have it along with any type of Ratia. But actual combination,with Chicken Biryani is Chicken Gravy and that's my dad's favorite. Try eating it once,then it will be your regular combination. 

Coconut Poli - Sweet Flat bread

Today is a special day for me and my blog. My blog became one month old. Thank you all for supporting me.It was like just started, but crossed 30 days. I am happy.I can cook in confidence. Now a day’s many around us know me as good cook also. I am new to cooking and I learned cooking pretty recently. I love it a lot. I find time rarely to cook because I step out home by morning 8 and reach back by night 9 after completing my office and evening college. My parents are so supportive towards my cooking and blogging interest. One fine morning Appa said to learn cooking because it will be useful for my future ;-) and I started cooking because I love and respect my Appa.

We used to discuss about cooking in office. Before and all I won’t show much interest towards that but after I stared cooking, one of my colleague guided me to start a food blog and now it was successful 30 days. To celebration it I taught doing a sweet and that ends with Coconut Poli. 

Today is Ramzon. This is not only the festival of Muslims all of us will be expecting this day, especially to eat nice Briyani. Apart from Briyani they will prepare sweets and Payasam. Their special sweet on this day will be Coconut Poli. I dint planned and prepared it I just prepared and it became special. I joined my present on company on Bakrid and my blog’s first month comes on Ramzon, both are not planned it just happened. So this Coconut Poli is to celebrate both Ramzon and my blog’s first month birthday.

  

Tomato Rice - Thakkali Sadam

Variety rice fills most of us lunch box, because it is easy to eat. In that list Tomato Rice comes first. Amma will prepare morning leftover white rice as Tomato Rice for dinner.My Attai also do the same. Since i wont eat non veg, mostly Tomato Rice will be my Sunday lunch (or any variety rice). Hence it is easy to prepare i did it last Sunday.
Tomato Rice with curd, lemon pickle & applam is a great combination.

Rava Upma

In all types of upma, Rava Upma will have a special and unique taste. Either sweeten or salted it gives a good taste. Even Upma haters will like this Rava Upma. Its easy and quick to prepare. I will do experiments in Rava Upma like if i decided to have it with sugar, then i wont add salt while preparing. But Rava Upma,Curd and Lemon Pickle is an unbeatable combination. As per your taste you can also add vegetables but to enjoy the taste of rava prepare plain Rava Upma and enjoy. As i told already, you can prepare as sweet or salt version no problem it will get adjusted and gives a great taste.

Aloo Chapathi for Kids..

Feeding meal to the kid is the world's toughest job. Making them to eat healthy is the biggest task. Meal Prepared for kids should be healthy, tasty and should looks attractive. We have to be very careful in the ingredient we add. We have to take an extra care over cooking to kids if they didn't like means then our effort and food will get wasted. 

By keeping this in mind i taught of doing some thing different into the regular cooking. In that Aloo Chapathi for kids is my first try. I just modified the size of the Chapathi's and my thambu like it. One more think we should keep in mind is, kids wont eat only the main dish we have to give two or three together for a meal to fill their tummy..

Aloo Chapathi i prepared for my thambu he like it. Hope your home kids also like it just give a try..
