Allam Pachidi/Ginger Chutney

Ginger is one of my favourite spices.I love ginger in any form be it juice, pickle or in upmas and curries.I have been wanting to make this Andhra style pickle or chutney called Allam Pachidi. It is the best side dish or accompaniment for Andhra Pesarattu dosai.

This pickle has all the tastes in it - it is spicy, sweet and tangy. It is a treat to all the people who love ginger in their food!!!! Hopefully I will make the pesarattu dosai sooooon!!!!!!!!!

Pizzadilla(Quesidilla Pizza)

Pizzadillas  are nothing but simple form of pizza done on the stove top with Tortillas.It is very similar to quesidillas which has a mexican filling where as pizzadilla is more like a thin pizza with pizza toppings.  I thought let me try out with left over chapathis or rotis which is more healthy.                                                                 After trying out bread pizza and similar pizza flavoured recipes i thought why dont i try this one with left over rotis.Yes you can create a delicious snack with leftover chapathis or rotis called pizzadilla  (quesidilla pizza).It is incredibly easy to make and tastes awesome!I am sure your kids will love it and your rotis will not go waste.

Kulcha/Kulcha Recipe

                                                                                      KULCHA is one of our favorite breads when we eat north Indian food outside.Some times when we are really craving for food we order different types of kulchas like paneer kulcha,onion kulcha or mint kulcha butwhen it is normal we go in for the normal ones.I do make Nans at home often now started making these kulchas too.It is quiet easy to make if you plan a little ahead.It is very popular in Amritsar and punjab and usually served with chole!!!

Narthangai Pickle/citron pickle

                                                                   Narthangai is a variety of lemon with a a thick skin and green colour. There are two types of pickles my mom used to make with this.One is the regular citron pickle with chilly powder and the other is the dried version only with salt.The dried version is more popular and is available in stores like ambika appalam etc.
My grand mom used to eat the dried narthangai daily with her curd rice in the evening.Whenever we used to fall sick or have a stomach upset we were allowed to eat only this dried narthangai with curd rice because it did not have any chilies in it and it would not do any harm to the stomach.I will post the recipe for the dried version soon......
