Easy kozhukattai (rice cakes)

An easy and quick appetizer. For people in US, check out Periyar brand brown idiappam podi or brown putti podi. It turns out good. Kozhukattai Pictures

Paruppu Urundai Kulambu (Lentil balls!)

Another top hit recipe...hope you guys enjoy! ParuppuUrandaiKulambu Pictures

Note: Ball turns hard if it is not ground at the right consistency....make it coarse....and leave it in the gravy without stirring for few minutes. Mine turned good in the second attempt. Funny my first attempt was...even if it would fall on the floor it would never break, it was that hard :-)

Wishing U all a wonderful year ahead.
