Today I
am going to share a very interesting chapathi made with dal and greens. The
choice of greens is totally your’s, I have used araikeerai to make this
chapathi. I always come across one problem when packing lunch, my husband and
elder daughter prefer to have rice for lunch and my little one always will
prefer to have chapathis or rotis etc. Whenever I make paruppu keerai masiyal
or any other green varieties my little daughter never has it during lunch, and
I used to feel very bad about it. But then whenever I make paruppu keerai
during weekdays for lunch, I blend the prepared keerai and make chapathis for
her. But for my husband and elder daughter I make rice, mix this dal and
prepare some vegetables and pack the lunch. I think lot of moms must be coming
across this kind of problem when packing lunch for your whole family, but when
you go by my idea you will feel happy and satisfied. One best part of it is
your kid will eat all the chapathis and she/he will get the greens also. Meanwhile
friends, do not forget to check out other interesting and delicious breakfast varieties here.

Ponnanganni
Keerai is called as “Dwarf Copperleaf” in English, is a green variety available throughout
the year. The name “Ponnanganni” means glow like gold. It is loaded with iron,
calcium and other vital nutrients that make our hair and skin glow. When
Ponnanganni is taken for a period of 48 days regularly, it heals our body of
all kinds of deficiency and reduces the body heat, as it is an excellent body
coolant. Ponnanganni is specifically recommended for eye ailments, asthma,
gonorrhoea, syphilis. Most of them avoid these types of greens, because they do
not know how to cook them or to use them. A very simple ponnanganni keerai
poriyal/stir fry included twice or thrice a week in our diet is a wonderful
remedy to stay healthy. Ponnanganni oil/thailam is very famous in Tamil Nadu

Karuvepilai Podi/Curry Leaves Powder/How to make Karuvepillai Podi/Karuvepillai Podi
Karuvepillai
podi/curry leaves powder is a boon to lot of bachelors living abroad and in hostels. I would say not just bachelors, when we are in no mood to
cook and if we have karuvepillai podi handy, we can just pressure cook some
white rice and enjoy the meals with chips or pappad. Karuvepillai podi, is
available in most of the shops, but nothing can beat the fresh, homemade aromatic
powder. Though I have shared the benefits of curry leaves several times
earlier, I cannot stop myself from writing about it again. It is a nature’s
gift to us right in our back yard, loaded with iron, calcium and vitamin A.
Regular intake of curry leaves helps in preventing hair fall and greying of hair,
not only that it also helps in the growth of healthy and beautiful hair. I think
for now I will stop with this and let you know about another interesting recipe,
I have shared earlier - this instant "Bachelor's Karuvepillai Kuzhambu” with this karuvepillai podi/curry
leaves powder, which actually is a short cut and can be made in no time. I have
also shared the regular karuvepillai kuzhambu where the curry leaves are ground
freshly; do check it out in the corresponding links. I think it’s time now, I
move on to the recipe. Do try out this karuvepillai podi friends and have a
great day. Do check out other South Indian Kuzhambu varieties here.

Dill Leaves Vadai Recipe/Dill leaves Kadalai Paruppu Vadai/Dill Leaves Paruppu Vadai Recipe/Dill Leaves Vadai with Channa Dal
Dill leaves vadai is a very aromatic, delicate tasting and flavourful vada. Before going into the recipe I would like to share a few things about Dill leaves. Dill is
native to Mediterranean and East European regions. Dill leaves are feathery, fern
like and dark green in colour. Fresh and dried dill leaves are widely used as
herbs in Russia, Germany, Greece, Poland, Norway and many other countries. In
India dill is known as shepu in Marathi, savaa in Hindi, soa in Punjabi,
sadhakuppu in Tamil, soa-kura in Telugu, sabbasige soppu in Kannada and
chathakuppa in Malayalam. Dill is a unique plant, because both its leaves and
seeds are used as seasoning. It is rich in vitamin A, C, B6, folates,
riboflavin, calcium, iron and other important minerals. Dill has an essential
oil called Eugenol, which has been in therapeutic use as local anaesthetic and antiseptic.
Eugenol also has been found to reduce sugar levels in diabetics. Dill seeds
have been used in traditional medicines for digestion, as disinfectant, for
more milk production in nursing mothers and to cure neurological symptoms like
headaches and neural instability. [Information collected from various websites
including Wikipedia]. Do check out other Vadai Varieties here and other interesting Starters/EveningSnacks/Appetizers here.
