Toor dal rasam| Parupu rasam

I love rasam i think all south(and north) indians love it.Its just a healthy tasty side dish to go with your steamed rice and any spicy stir fried veg dish or non veg dish would compliment it like magic.

Usually I have always mad rasam with pepper, garlic and cumin seeds thats the basic mix for rasam but this time I wanted to add some dal and it turned out so good...i was taken back to those childhood days when i loved the thaali meals my dad used to pick from woodlands hotel in karama on days my mom wouldn't be able to cook.

Papaya Mango Juice|Cooler

I had a really sad week i must say thanks to eye infections and tummy upsets.As much as i love this time of the year in Chennai i hate what it does to our health.This is also the time when fruits are available in plenty.I know i used papaya in a cake last week but then trust me it was good.And this juice was even better!
