So, I m back to blogging after more than a month frnz 😊..Had a few recipes in hand already, but didn't post it..Finally, today I m here with a simple yet delicious veg gravy..GROUNDNUT STEW..This Vegetable Stew is very simple to make, n it doesn't need much ingredients..It is less spicy, however, we can adjust spiciness as per our taste..Also, we use groundnut here, not as whole, but the extracted milk from it, along with the coconut milk..Goes well with Idiyappam, Aapam, Rice roti n other tiffins too..Now, let's move on to the recipe..

Pineapple Capsicum Chutney

Pineapple Capsicum Chutney..The name itself sounds quite different ryt? Capsicum chutney is a common recipe and u might be familiar with it, but adding pineapple with it is something uncommon..I experimented it with some leftover pineapple pieces and leftover capsicum, and the experimentation with the combined leftovers was successful..Since pineapple is added, u can feel the sweetness and sour taste along with the spiciness given by the other ingredients..You can have it with Idli, Dosa, Bread, Chapati etc..Especially kids will lov it..For elders, u can add more spiciness as required..A must try recipe with pineapples..

Stingray Fish(Therachi/Thirukkai) Masala

Therachi Masala..A simple but very tasty masala curry made with Stingray fish(Therachi/Thirukkai/Thirandi)..The recipe is a basic masala curry, but the addition of therachi fish is wat makes it special..Therachi is one of my all tym favourite seafood, jus lyk prawns..In our home, we usually make masala or simple varutharacha curry(dry roasted and ground coconut gravy) with this therachi fish..The fish is structured as many layers, and it doesn't hav very sharp bones lyk other fishes, but a different kind of soft bones..Actually they are not called bones, but cartilages, thatswat studies say..Whatever it is, it is  nutritious and very tasty..Wat else do we need, ryt? Alright, let's look at the recipe now..

Drumstick Rasam

Drumstick Rasam(முருங்கைக்காய் ரசம்)..A SouthIndian style Rasam with Drumstick and Dal as the main ingredients..Many of u will be familiar with drumstick leaves(முருங்கைக்கீரை) rasam, but with drumstick, definitely it's going to be a different tasted rasam, and since it's not spicy with green chilli or ginger, and only whole pepper is the spicy agent here, u can serve generously for kids too..My kid had a few ladles of it for lunch today and she ate it without any complaints about its spiciness, n she loved it..The drumstick I used today was so tender n fresh n it tempted me actually to make the recipe today itself..Just a simple side dish is enough along with this rasam for hot rice..Now, let's move on to the recipe..
