    Hi One simple suggestion to include in the paruppu usili karamadu recipe. Once you grind the soaked paruppus with salt and chillies, take a half inch/one inch deep steel plate, smear it with a teaspoon of oil and put the ground dal mixture on it and spread it evenly and steam it covered for 20 mins in the pressure cooker. A toothpic inserted shd come out clean if it is cooked. Cool and crumble the cooked paste. I just cut it into four wedges and run it in the grater for an evenly crumbled usili. Add the crumble to vedakkina/ boiled vegetable and cook for just a minute or two to allow the two to blend well. This requires minimal oil, and no stirring or fear of lumping/burning.

      I use the Idly plates and cook the paruppu usili batter like idlies. After it is cool I put this in a mixie and grind it in pulse mode. We get soft usili.

    Dear mami,

    I really love all your recipes. One kind request, mami. Could you please elaborate about cooking on auspicious days, be it on Fridays or any festival days. In some household, certain vegetables are avoided on Fridays but some family dont follow that. For ex. in some houses, snakegourd,moong dhal, taro root etc are not cooked on friday but some people does. Could you please explain such practice in our iyengar culture? If possible, could you please list such foods to be avoided on auspicious days?


    Thank you so much,
    Pavithra

    Namaskaram, This is Raja from Africa Nigeria. At the outset accept my anantha kodi namaskarams for running this site. Wonderful and excellent for those like me living abroad temporarily or on sojourn or whatever it be !!
    Well, leave alone all the plus and minuses of this effort, lets input to make it more effective.
    My humble suggestion is as follows.
    There shud be a link within the site, that enables one to print whatever recipes he/she wiahes to pick. Say, I shud be be able to click and choose my required recipes, like a CART in ecommerce sites, and print them in one shot. That will be wonderful.
    So that one can make a booklet of his choice of food required.
    The site is a boon. Thanks once again.
    Raja ( Iyengar from Tiruchy Srirangam and Coimbatore.

    Namaskaram, I live in California and am an Iyengar by birth. I enjoy cooking, eating and sharing Iyengar meals. One dish that myy patti and my mother used to make is "Madathu Kuzhambu". I lost my mother 2 years ago and I did not learn it from her. Can someone please share it with me if they know it? Also, there is a special thirukannamadhu that is served in Ahobila madam. This is made with rice and vellam. I would like to know its recipe too.
