Nanjil Kothamalli Aanam

 

Hi all..This recipe is again a Sahar/sehri/athaalam special..It's NANJIL KOTHAMALLI AANAM..That is, simple plain coriander gravy or curry..This is one of our native specials as well..And when u want to make a quick curry with less effort, try this for sure..'Aanam' is a name we give for the term 'curry' in our native..Even ppl in some of the other districts in Tamil Nadu use the same..But many of u might not have heard the word I think..I say this bcoz, when I stayed outside of hometown, when I say Aanam, ppl used to stare at me 😂..Then I used to change the word as curry, n only then they understand..

Nanjil Kambu Oratti

 

Hi all..Today I m here with a popular tiffin in my native among the Muslims..It is NANJIL style ORATTI using KAMBU flour..Usually we use just rice flour for the recipe, but to make it even more healthy, I have added bajra/pearl millet/kambu flour..And we enjoyed it for our sahar/sehri/athaalam..You can even have it for iftar/dinner as well..

Oratti is one of my all time favourites right from my childhood..This is made on occasions as well as usual day routine at home..Most of u will be familiar with the recipe but u may call it using different names I guess, like, adai, roti..But, we call it as oratti..

Banana Tomato Sarbath

Banana Tomato Nannari Sarbath!! Sarbath is a must drink in our home for iftar..No matter how many varieties of drinks we make on the regular days, but during Ramadan, Sarbath is wat we use to end our fasting in iftar..Even if I make fresh juices, I add Sarbath to it!! Especially the brand 'Raja Sarbath' shown in the snaps is from our native, n so it is the brand we use in our home ryt from my childhood..U hav seen this in my Mango Sarbath recipe too last year, n I hav told about the banana tomato sarbath too last tym..This is a favourite recipe for all of us in family, n for me too since my childhood days..With no further delay, let's see how to make it..

Squid RawBanana Thoran

Squid RawBanana Thoran..An easy to make, but yummilicious and fingerlicking Thoran made with Squid(கணவா மீன்) and RawBanana, i.e., plantain, which is so commonly made in our native. Be it a plain rice, kanji(porridge), or even nonbu kanji, this Thoran is made often in our homes, and it serves as a great side dish which u can't stop eating more..This is my alltym favourite as well 😋..U ppl might hav eaten lots of dishes with squid, but I don't know how many of u hav had this one..Next tym when u buy squid, try this recipe for sure for lunch, and do let me know ur feedback too frnz 🙂..Now, moving on to the recipe..

Egg Drop Dal Curry

Egg Drop Dal Curry..Its one of my all tym favourite curries..Dal curry is common in both South Indian and North Indian cuisines, but ofcourse a little changes exist between the two..This recipe of Dal curry is based on SouthIndian cuisine, which almost everyone of us is familiar with, but adding an egg drop to the curry is something which is common in my native..So I wanted to post the rcp here..It's simply delicious to the core, and serves as a great side for rice roti(oratti is wat we call it), and plain rice..A must try recipe frnz..

Nanjil Thengachoru

Nanjil Thengachoru..Nanjil refers to Nagercoil..Though this recipe is so common not only in Nagercoil but also in our entire Kanyakumari district, for an easy identification I have named this recipe as Nanjil Thengachoru..It is one of my all time favourites..The best part about the recipe is, it goes well with seafood sides as well as meat..For a seafood combo, we serve the rice with fish curry, fish fry, papad, tapioca curry etc..For a meat combo, we serve with Dal curry, Lamb/chicken/beef curry, pulikkari(Tamarind curry), chicken fry, papad..

Anchovy(Nethli) Vada

Anchovy Vada..Anchovies, also known as nethli in Tamil, is a favorite for almost any seafood lover..Yeah, it takes some time to clean than the big fishes. But the taste it gives to the dishes is outstanding. There are enormous amount of recipes which u can make with nethli..But this traditional tasted vada is one of my favorites, which I really wanted to post here, coz this is a popular recipe of our native, served with rice usually.

Mutton Chakkoli

Chakkoli..A popular dish in Kanyakumari and Kerala..A finger licking dish, usually served for evenings/dinner, especially during Ramadan..No one can resist this yummmy Chakkoli, and it's my all tym favourite as well..Its speciality is, it needs no sidedish, and just a cup of tea is enough..

MunthiriKothu

Munthirikothu..An exclusive traditional Rcp of our Kanyakumari district..Very yummy n all time favourite snacks for us..Usually made in larger quantities for special occasions..A bit tym consuming, but definitely worth trying it..I m so glad after making n tasting it..

Sweet Khichdi

Sweet Khichdi..U ppl know khichdi as a popular breakfast..But in my native, especially among Muslims, this traditional sweet pudding is known as khichdi..U can find several recipes for the keyword 'Sweet Khichdi', but this one is entirely different from those..We make it during Ramadan and on special occasions..The best part is it is very healthy, and it tastes soo creamy and yummmmm!! I m so happy to share it here..

Paalaada

Pazhapathiri

Another Rcp from our native, so commonly served for evenings.. Absolutely delicious n I bet u can't stop with jus one..For me, the minimum consumption is 5 😂 n I did the same this time too 😉..Since it is made from completely healthy ingredients, u can use this as one of the best ways to feed nendran banana, a very good weight gainer to your kid..Make a try n serve ur loved ones!!

DryGinger Porridge

DryGinger Porridge(சுக்கு கஞ்சி)..A recipe of our native, often prepared in our home, n it's my alltym fav..The spices in it is very gud for ur digestion process, plus it's very creamy n tasty..Try this healthy porridge atleast once in a month, or after a few days of heavy meals, n even for ifthar during Ramadan..

Mutta Surka

Mutta surka is a popular tea time snack in Kanyakumari district..It is a kuzhipaniyaram variety. Usually we make this with rice flour. I have made a small difference in this rcp by making it with left over rice roti(we call it as oratti) dough..Tasted great with a cup of tea!!

Ottaadai

This is a popular breakfast tiffin in our district Kanyakumari and in Kerala as well..Very easy to prepare!! We do this for us during usual days, for guests, and for EID breakfast..Tasty as well as healthy!!
