It has been a long time since I posted something on this blog and that is indeed a crime. But I am very happy that few of my friends came to me and asked why I have updated my blog for a long time. It definitely brought a smile to my face and it felt good. Hence this post.
I am hoping that Navarathri ended happily at your house. For me, it has been a pretty hectic weekend (Wish it had come over two weekends like last time). Had invited guest for Breakfast, lunch and dinner. No kidding! Here is a list of items that I prepared on various days for guests.
- Moong Dhal Dosai
- Coconut chutney
- Red pepper chutney (thogaiyal actually)
- Onion Tomato sambhar (araichutvitta sambhar)
- Chick Peas sundal
- Spicy Buttermilk (With ground onion and green chillies)
- Okra sambhar (Araichuvitta sambhar)
- Eggplant Stir fry (Kathirikkai podi potta curry)
- Cucumber raita
- Kara Paniyaaram (Made from medu vada maavu)
- Chick peas sundal
- Tapioca Pudding (Javvarisi Payasam)
- Semiya Kichadi
- Lime pickle
- Peas masala
- Dhal Tadka
- Onion pakoda (the south indian one)
- Low Cal Iced Tea
Of all the things that I have noted above, the one we love the most is the Low Calorie Iced tea. It’s a wonderful replacement to all those sugary drinks for those hot days (It’s almost fall!!, please excuse). It is ridiculously easy to make and it keeps well in the fridge

Ingredients
Putting it together
- Squeeze the juice of the orange
- Dump everything in to the Juice Jar
- Fill it up with water
- Stir it with long wooden spoon
Note : If you are planning to add a wedge of Orange, add it to the glass and not the Jar. It would begin to ferment in the Jar and would not taste good
Garnish with a little bit of mint and any other creative things that come to your mind.
