Tomato Gravy/Thakkali Kuzhambu
Tomato gravy is
one of the special South Indian gravies especially made in Tamil Nadu. It is
totally packed with Vitamin C and perfect for a light meal for any day. Sometimes
I enter at the last minute in to the kitchen, without any plans of what to
cook. At those times, this gravy comes in very handy, because it can be made
in a jiffy. Check out other delicious South Indian -TamilNadu special Kuzhambu varieties here.

Mango Rava Kesari/Mambaza Kesari
Mango
kesari is a popular dessert and offered by many caterers for any occasions. The
sweetness of mango combined with the delicacy of Kesari makes this mouth
watering dessert. Since mangoes are available abundant in this season, I
thought why not make a mango kesari and share it with you all. Meanwhile do not forget to check out other interesting and tempting Diwali Sweets & Snacks here.

Kathrikkai & Murungakkai Kaara Kuzambu/Brinjal & Drumsticks Gravy
There
are different types kara kuzhambu made in our South Indian homes, each one has a
distinct taste and flavor. I just love the combination of brinjal and
drumsticks and it is very common in our house. I prefer to make all types of
kuzhambus with gingely oil to get both the taste and the health benefits of it.
Gingelly oil/Nalla ennai is cold pressed oil and has numerous health benefits. Cold
pressed oils are produced through a combination of grinding and low heat without
any addition of chemicals. Gingelly oil is derived from sesame seeds, using
this method. That is why I think it is named as “Nalla ennai” meaning “Good oil”.
Try to incorporate ginglley oil as much as possible in your cooking… Check out other delicious South Indian -TamilNadu special Kuzhambu varieties here.
With that
short note, let’s see how to make Kara kuzhambu with step by step photos…

Vendakkai/Okra/Ladies finger Curry
I am
great fan of Vendakkai, we used to grow them in our own back yard in Chennai in
our school holidays. It used to be so much fun and golden memories. My
Aathaa(grandma) usually says eat lots of vendakkai it improves your memory
power, that is what the ancient Ayurveda also says. Vendakkai has other
benefits like boosting your immunity, getting rid of body toxins, controlling
blood sugar etc.
Now let’s
see how to make a simple Okra curry/vedakkai curry with photos…
