loved all the recipes… have tried 1 or 2 of them and my entire family loved it.. keep up the good work.God Bless!
Hi Mullai,
Last weekend i tried this dish. I never thought murungakkai and muttai will go together. It was awesome. A very different dish.
Thanks,
Priya Swaminathan
nice combination…looks delicious
Mullai,
Pls don’t take it personally. In most of your dishes I see addition of chilli powder,dhania powder,turmeric and the outcome is little spicy. I feel this spicy way of cooking will diminish the real true flavour of that particular vegetable which is the main ingredient in the dish.Is it the way of tamils cooking or you prefer it that way?
Actually poriyals (dry fry) are made without the addition of those 3 items. Gravies or semi-thick subzi"s normally include little chili and dhania. Its not like all Tamils cook this way.. preparations vary with each family depending on personal preferences. We at home cook our dishes like this and if you think its too spicy… then reduce the spice level to suit your taste. BTW… anonymous comments are moderated.
yummy murungakkai….goes well with rasam sadam too….will try soon.
Wow ! Drumstick and hard boiled eggs…superb combination. My mom also used to make like this.
