Mysore Rasam

It really gets boring to have a lunch which is almost the same everyday. But what else do we do, thats the staple diet. So atleast to bring in variety today we had mysore rasam, instead of the usual Dal Rasam. The Dried Coconut (Kopra) adds a totally new dimension to the rasam, taste wise and color wise!!

Neer Dosa

We went to Sangeetha last week and saw Neer Dosa on menu. I knew that this was Mangalore style dosa, but my MIL said it was similar to Kali Kanji Dosa which is prepared in Nagercoil. Her SIL is from there and every saturday they used to have this dosa with Onion Tomato Chutney. This is the first time we tried this at home.
