Poricha / Poritha rasam is one interesting variation to regular rasam where tamarind is totally avoided and prepared with crushed tomatoes, dal water and all jazzed up with unsual combination of spice powder. This recipe is little time consuming unless you have everything prepared ahead. Definitely you need dal water which has to be pressured cooked and of course my spice powder version has coconut… and has to be prepared fresh for an fulfilling taste.

Cheesy soft bread rolls for a quick evening snack. Bread flour is used for this recipe which usually yields slightly chewy, but soft dense texture bread. My college cafeteria used to have this soft white bread sticks which i always crave for …. as there is no escapism, the whole corridor smells like parmesan cheese and just makes irresistibly hungry during mid morning breaks. So… tried that at home too which was soo easy and satisfying. This is made with all-purpose and its quite similar process wise with slightly change in measures and temperature. Try both and have fun.
