Easy rava kesari using fresh pineapple!
For any good looking and tasting chutney, fresh ingredients are a must and its 100% true in the case of Coconut Chutney varieties. Hotel chutney doesn't have any special magic ingredients except its made attractive with tricky presentations and prepared with right proportions. That doesn't mean we don't make good chutneys at home… its all our mind set and few more other aspects makes it more attractive.
1. Timing – Served when you're really hungry and longing for some thing perfect.
We usually buy radish and throw away the leaves… i read somewhere that the leaves have much more nutrient content than radish. So voila thought of something and whipped up this recipe…..
No matter how much or what kind made at home, we all drool over a scoop of that Hotel Chutney. There's been a request for this item for a long time under our site, Yeah that's for white chutney.. which will be making its way soon, meanwhile enjoy this red version of hotel chutney. This chutney looks orangish red and mostly served with idli or dosai. Raw version of this chutney is served with bhajis and bondas.

Ever since I tried the "My Dhaba" (Punjabi style restaurant, Radhakrishnan Salai, Chennai) biryani, my craving started more for Sindhi style foods. Usually their style biryani is kind of strong flavoured, pale greenish.. due to herbs and spices and moreover inclusion of sour yogurt makes them slightly pungent. Here is my attempt in matching one of their mint chicken style biryani.

Tomatillos are sometimes called "green tomatoes", they should not be confused with green, unripe tomatoes. Tomatoes are in the same family, but a different genus.
This tangy chutney goes well with idli, dosai and chappathi.

Idli Milagai Podi has many versions and this one is my favourite which I learnt from family friends who are from Elenchi (Kutralam / Cutrallam side), a small town in Thirunelveli district. Most of their podi preparations include whole black gram (with skin), black sesame seeds , or combination of lentils which give a unique smoky flavour. Here is a simple version of one of their style which would sure tingle your tongue-tations.
Sabudana Kichdi is a maharashtrian dish, prepared usually during the fasting days. It is also a good lunch box idea.
