BRINJAL BAJJI / KATHRIKKAI BAJJI

Brinjal bajji or kathrikkai bajji is a kongu nadu special side dish for idly or dosa.  Though the name is bajji, this is not a deep fried snack. Even in chettinad they make a similar dish and call it kosumalli. I had a neighbour from coimbatore who used to make this dish, I happen to taste it once and i loved  the subtle taste and flavor of brinjal in this dish. So here is the recipe for you all to give it a try...Iam sure you all will agree with me. Its very easy to prepare too.

QUINOA PULAO / PILAF / PULAV

Quinoa is a gluten-free and cholesterol-free super grain.. It is pronounced as Keen-wah... and it is called mother of all grains, it is native to south america. Regarding the health benefits, quinoa is one of the most protein rich grain, it has twice the fibre of most other grains, it has iron, lysine, rich in magnesium, high content of manganese, riboflavin, so on.. So its a super healthy grain for weight watchers :-) Quinoa can be used in almost every rice dish substituting it for rice..  I tried to google to find the tamil name , quite confusing some says its thinai and some says it doesn't carry a tamil name as its origin is america... You can find quinoa in most food marts now a days... or you can book online too... Here we go for the super good grain Quinoa Vegetable Pulav..
