Ulundhu Choru Recipe | Urad Dal Rice | Black Split Urad Dal Rice | Nagercoil Special Ulundhan Choru | Ulundhu Sadam

Today I am sharing a very healthy one-pot rice that is common in Nagercoil and Tirunelveli. The word 'Ulundhanchoru' brings me a lot of childhood memories and I was very emotional after making this rice. My mum was a full-time teacher, we always had a stay-at-home Nanny to take care of me. I fondly call her 'Aachi' and she is like my own grandmother. She makes this rice quite often at home and mum get to know about this through her. I was never fond of this rice during my teenage days. However, I used to eat with compulsion and mum advertise this as one of the healthy rice in the whole wide world 😄. Now, when mum and aachi is not around me, I was behind many people to get this recipe. Finally, a few weeks back, I tried it for the first time and it tasted exactly the same as my aachi's ulundhanchoru. The smell itself makes me feel nostalgic and I made it again today to post it here in the blog. It tastes so good with spicy fish kuzhambu or any non-veg kuzhambu. For vegetarians, Ellu Thogayal is the best combination for this rice. Do check out the video for this recipe and please subscribe to my channel for more videos. Let's move to the recipe:

Salmon Fish Kuzhambu Recipe | Fish Kuzhambu without Coconut | Seafood Recipes

I love my mum's fish kuzhambu the most and I always follow her recipe. She makes fish kuzhambu two ways, the one with coconut and the other one without coconut. I have posted the fish kuzhambu with coconut already here in the blog. Her fish kuzhambu without coconut is very spicy and it is a semi-dry thick gravy. She always pairs it with Nagercoil Verum Curry and it tastes so yum when we mix rice, verum curry and fish kuzhambu together. After coming to Sydney, I started buying salmon and it tastes so good when made this way. Hence, thought of sharing the recipe here and this kuzhambu recipe can be followed for any fish of your choice. I have posted my chithi's version of this curry already in the blog as fish curry with raw mango and also do check out my other seafood recipes from the blog here. Off to the recipe:

Sweet Corn Chicken Soup | Chicken Soup | Sweet Corn Soup | Soup Recipes

Hello all, I am super excited to share the news that I have started my YouTube channel. I always wanted to share videos, however, coming out of my comfort zone really took these many days. I am in the process of learning to do better videos and I hope to share more videos in the coming days. Please extend your support by subscribing to my channel. Coming to today's recipe, it is one of our recent favourites. When I shared this sweetcorn chicken soup on one of my lunch plates, many of my Instagram followers were asking about the recipe. Hence, yesterday when I made this again, I was shooting it for the channel and I am here with the recipe. Let's move to the recipe and please check the video too:

Pineapple Pomegranate Raita Recipe | Pineapple Raita | Pineapple Pome Raita | Raita Recipes

I grow up eating a lot of cucumber pachadi and beetroot pachadi since mum makes it very often. So Pachadi/kichadi and raita made with yoghurt base are my real weakness. Recently, I saw some super fresh pineapple and I wanted to try some recipes with that. As I have already made pineapple pachadi quite a few times, I tried this simple Pineapple pome raita and it goes well with any pulao or raita.  I have already shared the following raita recipes in the blog:

Peanut Butter Banana Fudge Brownie Recipe | Banana Fudge Brownie | Fudge Brownie

Happy New Year to all my readers and families!! Hope everyone is excited about the new year and has lots of resolutions to bring out the better us. As always, one of my new year resolutions is to be active in the blog with new posts frequently. I have shared very fewer blog posts in 2018 though I am pretty much active on Instagram. So, to start making up for that I am here with a recipe on the very first day. Today's recipe is an awesome idea to use leftover overripe bananas. At home, we don't like ripe bananas and hence I hunt for suggestions using the leftover bananas and I always end up making Banana Bread, Banana Muffin, Unniyappam, Banana Dosa or Sweet Bonda. Recently, I came across this Tasty video that explains this yummy fudge brownie and I gave it a try. It is a super quick recipe and it tastes really yummy. I have shared Chocolate Walnut Brownie and Eggless Walnut Brownie earlier in the blog.

Mor Kuzhambu Recipe | Vendakkai Mor Kuzhambu | Buttermilk Gravy

Mor Kuzhambu is one of Jany's favourites for rice. I always follow mom's recipe and it is in Kerala style, we like it very much. I have shared this recipe already here in the blog as Moru Curry with white pumpkin. I have shared another yoghurt gravy with Mango and you can find it as Mambazha Pulissery. However, I always wanted to try Tamilnadu style of mor kuzhambu that I had tasted in some of my friend's home. I got this recipe from Mallika Akka who was our cook when we were in Chennai. Let's learn the recipe with step-by-step pictures:
