Soya Chunks Masala | Meal Maker Masala | Soya Chunks Recipes

I used to love soya chunks when I was little, I remember my mother making biryani with this meal maker and we used to enjoy it. But as we grew older, my brother and me started noticing a weird flavor and raw odour with these meal makers and completely refused to eat it!

Now many years later, I have found that preparing the soya is the key to remove all raw odour in these meal makers, I use a bit of milk and it works wonders and this has once again become a family favorite! 

Check out the soya 65 recipe.

How to clean Vazhaipoo (Plantain Flower)

Vazhaipoo called as Banana Flower or Plantain Flower tastes great when made as a curry or vadai but for me the most annoying part is cleaning the flower! The florets have to be cleaned thoroughly before using them. It's actually a simple process but cleaning the entire bunch of florets is not appealing to me all the time!!

Vengaya Vadagam | Easy Vathal Recipes

As a little child I remember my paternal grandmother making this vadagam during the hot summer months and then we all use to enjoy eating this with hot hot rasam rice or kuzhambu rice! Now many years later, my parents do the same and I still enjoy this little accompaniments which makes the rice more yum!
I have already posted cheeni avarakkai vathal that my parents make and this is another variety of vadam/vathal that is common in our house. Peeling the shallots is the most painful part of this recipe but it's all worth it since this tastes really delicious eaten by itself or along with a typical Tamilian rice platter.

No Cook Mango Kulfi | Instant Kulfi Recipe

There is no doubt that the original/traditional way to make a dish tastes much better than these instant, quick fix methods but times are changing and no one seems to have the time for an elaborate cooking session. And this is an age of instant gratification, everything needs to be quick and fast paced. Time management has become crucial in every body's life! 

So this kulfi is for those who don't find the time to make the kulfi the traditional way. I have posted a mango kulfi recipe already which requires constant stirring for atleast half hour but this recipe requires no cooking and much simpler but of course the end product does not taste like the traditional kulfi but all the same it tastes wonderful, creamy and yum!
