    Its been a while since i posted, i was busy a little busy due to the festival season..This was my thala pongal, which is the first pongal after my marriage. So amma brought lots of utensils, veggies, different sorts of root vegetables, sugar cane and stuffs like that. I am having lots of veggies in my fridge, so you will find a lot more vegetarian recipes in my blog in the coming post..

    Now everything is over and i getting back to business..

    DRUMSTICK, If you have never heard about this vegetable, take a look at this. This is a fiberous veggies, when you cook it the inside flesh get sweet and succulent. You suck the flesh out and throw away the hard outer part. Amma cooks with this often, she throws it in pulikulambu, karakulambu, sambar and many other things. I use it very rarely. But amma bought a big bunch of this vegetable for pongal and i know i am gonna make some avial with it.
