Mixture of Flours



"Rava dosa" and tomato-onion-groundnut-chili chutney. Rava dosa made of some rapidly aging instant dosa mix, sooji and corn flour.
Wasn't really like rava dosa, but did taste good! And except for one of them, the dosas split up in tiny pieces.

Zucchini Vattal



As promised, I made some zucchini vattal without drying in the (barely existent) sun.
Slice the vegetable into thin slices and fry till slightly brown with a generous sprinkling of pepper. Add some chopped tomato, sprinkle some thyme and then a minute or two later add some grated cheese. Continue to heat this till all the cheese melts. Sprinkle salt after serving.

Question. Why do so many names of people and foods from Italy end with i ?

Soft at last



Finally some soft chapatis, rather than hard and brittle. With tomato curry - made of tomatoes, onions, garlic, chili powder and a little jaggery.
