I made the Beerakaya pappu day before yesterday and remembered that my Mom and Mil used to make the chutney out of the peeled skin of RIDGEGOURD. I tried my MIL's version and it turned out well. I served it with rasam yesterday and it was heavenly.The left over chutney was served again in dinner with Ven Pongal..thought my hubby would scream for serving the same thing in dinner too but to my surprise he was enjoying it with Pongal.So here goes the recipe of Beerakaya[telugu] | Peerkangai[tamil] | Turai[Hindi] |Ridgegourd[English] Chutney |Thuvaiyal.Hope u will like it.

Boiled Green Groundnuts / Peanuts are common street side food in many parts of India. Freshly boiled and salted green peanuts is a good snacking item on a cold evening or simply relish it as a quick evening tiffin by converting it to a light Peanut chat.

Nethili meen is known as Anchovy in english..its one of my fav fish..Seafood is a rich source of protein, vitamins, and minerals; many varieties of seafood are also low in sodium and cholesterol.Fish is also a good source of "B" Vitamins "B-6", "B-12", biotin and niacin. Vitamin A" is found mainly in fish liver oils, but some high fat fish are good sources of Vitamin "A". Fish is a good source of several minerals, especially iron, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

Birinji or Brinji is basically a mixed vegetable pulao , the difference is that it has coconut and spices ground and fried with oil; the rice is then cooked in the spice paste and coconut milk which gives it a creamy flavor.That is why I think of it as a fried rice and not a pulao. Some people say that the name comes from “birinji elai” – the Tamil word used for Tej Patta – a spice similar to Bay leaf used to flavor this dish.
One of the article says “birinji” or “brinji” is the Persian word for rice.
