Pineapple Rasam in Ipot

Ever since I was gifted the Ipot, I am enjoying preparing a whole bunch of things with it. Also it is such a blessing to work with. I see there is magic happening when you prepare rasam with it. Rasam with rice is the most comforting food for me. There are so many varieties of rasam out there and they are all equally comforting. Pineapple rasam is the one that I prepare often. I love the marriage of sweetness of pineapple, sourness from the tomato and the spices make it a perfect. Here is how I made it using the Ipot. Managed to get a photo before it disappeared.

Instant Swiss Chard Onion Avil Vadai/ Beaten Flat Rice Fritters

HAPPY  NEW  YEAR! 


A very happy and prosperous new year to everyone. I have been in the kitchen a lot last year but, blogging had not happened. Call it my new year resolution, I hope to blog  regularly this year.  This evening it was raining and the weather was perfect for some crunchy munchies. So I made some instant vadai. I use poha often but this time I used the thick variety which resulted in in the best  textured vadai. After many hours it still stays crunchy so if you are thinking of appetizers for a party please make this and all you may have to do is heat in the microwave and serve. A noteworthy recipe to document and share for the new year.
