Kerala Achappam

Glad to be back to blogging after  a long break...

It is another authentic Kerala recipe to share for today...I learnt this from my mom in law...

My son was so happy to see his achamma [paternal gradma] making them during our last Kerala trip, that he has made a rhyming song with Achappam.....

"Achamma undakkiya Achappam

Uzhunnu Vada / Split Black Gram or Urad Daal Fritters

Uzhunnu Vada / Split Black Gram Fritters

I was never fond of these fritters and so never bothered to make them before marriage....Only after marriage I realized that I am married to a vada loving person , who can have this any time without counting on the number of them served to him.....He will be very happy to help me out in the kitchen if I decide to make vada which is the only factor that motivates me in vada making , as I still dont like them much...

I had started making these ones under the guidance of my MIL who is an expect in making them to perfection...

Queen of the Night...Nishagandhi

Jet Lag did a good thing to me....

Just because of it I was blessed to watch these nightblooming beauties commonly known as queen of the Night.....

Wish I had some poetic language to put in words their beauty and fragrance...

Here are some snaps to share with U all...

Nishagandhi..........Ready to Bloom by evening



Beetroot Kichadi / A tasty n colorful side dish for rice..

Beetroot Kichadi

Sometime back when my son was just about to start on solid food, my friend who is basically from Maharashtra , suggested me to give him some khichadi....At first it was the picture of Kerala kichadi in my mind and I was like , what........?

Then she explained to me what is Khichadi in Maharashtra and even gave me a sample to taste...That was indeed very delicious....Now that our friendship has grown over years, I too have learnt to make khichadi from her and we love to have it whenever we want a simple and easy one pot meal....
