been thinking of posting this recipe for a very long time, but could not. This
is a recipe which my grandma used to make, then my mom and now me. This onion rice is
very special and has lots of medicinal values in it. My grandma used to make
this rice, when someone is suffering from stomach pain. She used to say that the
onions, cooked in ghee, combined with black pepper powder reduces the body
heat, heals the stomach ulcer and cures the pain. I make this a lot in summer
days to cool down the body temperature. My grandma makes this only with white
onions, but I switch between white, red and small pearl onions depending on the
availability of onions in my kitchen. Any way friends do try out this wonderful, healing
Onion rice and post your feedback.

Bitter Gourd Fry/Pagarkai Poriyal
Bitter
melon/Bitter gourd/Bitter squash/Pagarkai/Karela is an extremely bitter
vegetable with numerous health benefits. This edible fruit widely grows in
tropical places like Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. Bitter gourd is loaded
with vitamin B complex, folate, zinc, phosphorous and is an excellent source of
fibre. It is rich in iron, contains high levels of beta-carotene, calcium and
potassium. It has insulin like compound known as polypeptide P which has been
suggested as insulin replacement in some diabetic patients (info from various
websites). Though I was not a great fan
of Bitter gourd when I was a kid, things have changed a lot and I like to eat
it once in a while because of its health benefits. But to my surprise my elder
daughter loves bitter gourd in any form – touch wood for the same. This
pagarkai poriyal is delectable and a perfect side dish for any meal of a day.

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.
