Idli Podi – Spicy Chilly Powder
Idli podi or Idli Milagai podi is made of dry red pepper and a perfect blend of spices which is served with idli or dosa. You can make this and store it in your pantry which comes for a long duration. When you are in a hurry or if your chutney or sambar is over, this always helps. I always like to have idli podi though I have other side dishes. Idli podi with Sesame oil gives a nice aroma.

Sticky Okra: When we cut washed okra, it will be more sticky. To avoid this, wash your okra and leave it over night in a strainer. You can either leave it outside or refrigerate if it is too hot out there. This way you can avoid the stickiness due to washing. Ripe Bananas: Are your bananas getting ripe and you have no time to make banana bread? Then peel them and put them in a zip lock bag and freeze. You can use it later when you are free to bake. Storing Onions: Whenever I have extra cut onions I seal it in a zip lock box and refrigerate it for future use.

How to Check the freshness of eggs? To check out if your eggs have gone bad or not, there is a simple way. Just drop the eggs in water. If it is good it will sink otherwise it will float.

Cheese Quesadilla and an award
Mexican cuisine is known for its variety of flavours. They have simple and traditional dishes. The first time I had Mexican food, I really didn’t think it will grow so much on me. Whenever I browse for a new recipe, Mexican cuisine is always in my choice. For the past few days, I have been drooling on Mexican food. I am so addicted that I am planning on trying different dishes. I am here starting with the Cheese Quesadilla. Cheese Quesadilla is so simple and yummy that I can have a bite of it anytime. One can eat healthy using less cheese and loads of vegetables. I tried it both ways and believe me it was mouth watering nonetheless.

Puran Kozhukattai (Rice Dumplings)
Sweet Puran Kozhukkatai or Sweet Rice Dumpling is a popular delicacy in India which is commonly prepared during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi (Lord Ganesh’s Birthday). It is believed that this is one of Lord Ganesh’s favorite food. Hence it comes on the list of offerings that we make during this festival. Puran means filling which can be anything such as sweetened coconut, channa dal puran, spicy puran, etc. Here I am sharing the recipe for sweetened coconut puran. Kozhukkattai (modakam or modak) is more like Japanese Mochi which is made of glutinous rice. But here we use raw rice for making the outer spongy shell. I have detailed two methods for making the outer shell. You can go with whichever is easy for you. For me the rice flour/idiappam flour method is easier. But my mom always goes with...
