Monthly once I make egg noodles or chicken noodles or veg noodles in my home for dinner along with a spicy non veg side dish. But I missed to post it here, so I will be posting it one by one.

Vendakkai Poriyal Recipe | Ladies Finger Stir Fry | Okra or Bhindi Stir Fry

Almost a year back I clicked this recipe when I visited my hometown. Vanitha Akka is an expert in making poriyal and though her recipes are simple the net result will be too good. She was about to prepare this poriyal and since I have very few poriyal recipes in this space, I attempted her recipe and clicked it. I usually make it differently and I will try to post my version soon. Off to the recipe:

Manathakkali Paruppu Keerai Recipe | Black Night Shade Spinch Dal | Paruppu Keerai Masiyal with Manathakkali Keerai

Manathakkali Keerai or Black Night Shade is a short-lived perennial shrub that grows almost everywhere. Its fruit is called as Sunberry or Wonder Cherry. Both the fruit and leaves are important ingredients in Indian medicine. It cures the stomach problems, mouth ulcers and reduces body heat.

Though I am not familiar with this, my neighbor akka introduces it to me. She showed it to us that was grown in our backyard itself. Happy loves to have the berries, whenever we water the plants she plucks the berries and enjoys it :). Since it was abundantly available in my home, I make use of it more often these days. I make this paruppu keerai and mix it with ghee, rice for Happy's Lunch. Here we go for the simple and healthy recipe:

Prawn Potato Masala Recipe | Prawn curry with Potato

Yet another Prawn recipe in this space. Until I try this recipe, I am not sure about the combo Potato and Prawn. When Jany's cousins were in home last time, the quantity of Prawn that we had was very less. So to serve few more, I added finely chopped potato along with the prawn. Also, I added cashew paste for richness. To my surprise it turned out very well and Danie loved it to the core. Since everyone liked it, I wanted to share it with you all. Let's see the preparation steps.
