Thakkali Sadam/Tomato Rice

This is a very simple South Indian Style Thakkali sadam, which can be made very fast and quick. In South India during valaikappu or baby shower usually it is a tradition to make 5, 7, or 9 different types of variety rice, and thakkali sadam also plays one major role in it. I am planning to post all the different types of rice varieties in the future one by one. Thakkali sadam is not only made during valaikappu but also is a perfect lunch box meal. For now…

Kanchipuram Idli/Kanchipuram Idli Recipe/How to make Kanchipuram Idli with step by step photos

The moment we all hear the word Kanchipuram, things that come to our mind are the historical temples like the Vardharaja Perumal temple, Ekambareswarar temple, Kamakshi amman temple and the world famous, beautiful, hand-woven silk sarees. Talking about food, the Kanchipuram idlis also called as Kudalai idlis are very authentic and famous in this district. Originally these idlis are steamed in “Dhonnai” or in “Mandharai ilai”, these in fact add an unique taste to the idlis which is totally unbeatable and heavenly. But if you don’t get them in the place you live or do not have them in hand, just steam them in the regular idli plates. Meanwhile do check out other interesting and healthy Breakfast Recipes here.
