Thoothuvalai Keerai Chutney/Thoothuvalai Keerai Chutney Recipe/Thoothuvalai Keerai Recipe with step by step photos
Thoothuvalai
Keerai [Solanum Trilobatum] is an excellent herb with numerous and amazing
health benefits. It is used in treating common cold, cough and to get rid of phlegm
in our chest. Thoothuvalai is basically a thorny creeper with purple flowers
and red fruits and grows really very fast. Thoothuvalai creeper has lots of
thorns in the leaves, so when your plucking it, you should be very careful. My
best advice is to use scissors when cleaning the leaves. Many recipes like
thoothuvalai kashayam, thoothuvalai rasam etc are made in many households. Thoothuvalai
is available in vegetable markets or from street vendors, but I pluck it from
my mom’s garden whenever I get a chance. For now, I am sharing Thoothuvalai
Keerai Chutney which is an excellent side dish for idlis and dosas. I know
Thoothuvalai is not available in most of the places, but if you come across or
get a chance, then do try to make some chutney and reap the benefits of the
same. Meanwhile, do check out other interesting and tempting chutney varieties here.

Baba Ganoush Recipe– Middle Eastern Delight/How to make Baba Ganoush with step by step photos
Baba
Ganoush is a dish made out of Eggplant/Aubergine/Kathrikkai, along with tahini paste, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. The Eggplant/Aubergine is baked or
broiled over an open flame and the skin is peeled out. This is done to make the
Eggplant pulp soft and to get a smoky taste. It is a very common and popular
dip eaten along with kuboos/pita bread in the Middle East. I have had this Baba
Ganoush several times in Lebanese restaurants when I used to live in USA. Another
very similar and authentic dip/chutney made in Tamil Nadu [South India] is the
Sutta Kathrikkai Chutney which also has the smoky taste along with Indian
spices and seasoning. Do check out the Tahini Paste which is the base for the
Baba Ganoush and also try out the Sutta Kathrikkai Chutney – South Indian
version of Baba Ganoush.

Peerkangai Thol Thogaiyal/Ridge gourd Peel Chutney
My
previous post was Peerkangai/Ridge gourd kootu, so I did not throw away the
peel rather made my favourite peerkangai thol thogaiyal. It is rich is fiber
and very delicious and traditional thogaiyal of Tamil Nadu. I wrote a few
benefits about ridge gourd/peerkangai in my previous post and I want to share a
few more here as well. Peerkangai helps in lowering the blood and urine sugar
level, not only that it helps to purify, restore and nourish liver and also
helps to cure skin diseases like eczema, psoriasis etc. When the ridge gourd is allowed to mature and
dry in the vine, it is later harvested like a sponge. This sponge is one great
natural exfoliating product used for bathing to remove dead skin cells and thereby
leaving the skin soft and conditioned. I think with this note I will move on
with the recipe. Check out other chutney & thogaiyal varieties here.
