A picture before the sunrise. I have never woke up with so much energy before. We took a tandem bicycle and started our journey towards the beach. In the middle of nowhere, the chain snapped. No street lights. Nothing around. He fixed it with my mobile torch and we finally reached, it was a beautiful sight.

Another instant recipe. Another way to relish Maggi.
Creamy Paneer Maggi a quick recipe for the hunger pangs.

Additional -

If you like it more soupy, you can add water and adjust other spices like salt and masala accordingly

Can replace Maggi with any other whole wheat noodles for a more healthy option

Can use your fav veggies like onion, mushroom, capsicum, sweet corn etc if you would sautee.

Soup powder is for texture and flavour

Can use coriander/ cheese of your choice to garnish

Morkali - spicey rice pudding ♥️ There are variations to this in other parts of India. But this is how my paati prepares as evening tiffen. It's a traditional tambrahm recipe.That spiciness from mor milagai, along with the melting taste of tangy morkali is something cannot be put in words. This is my try, but this can never match her kai manam ☺️😍

Verkadalai Kaara Kuzhambu - Today from dad's kitchen.♥️ Now you know from whom I got all my cooking skills from. (Recipe in the highlights)
That generous amount of oil is nallennai (Gingelly oil) which has a lot of health benefits and properties to improve intestinal health. Especially when it is spicy food.
Adding oil increases shelf life of gravy and curry (that's why pickles are full of oil) and when it comes to Kuzhambu, just like wine, the taste only gets better day after day when stored.
You can just have it along side pazhaya saadham 😋 (can't wait for that!) And IDLY HATERS should try it with this kaara kozhambu. Summa gummunu irukum. 😬
