Kheer/Payasam Recipes

Kheer/Payasam an integral part of Indian celebrations. Dont you agree with me?? You make kheer/payasam whenever you are happy, want to celebrate good marks, good news in the family, pooja at home, when you have guests, when you invite your bestie for lunch, and the list is endless, kheer/payasam doesn't need any reason at all.

I love kheer, i try to make it often, maybe during fridays, as it serves as neivedhiyam/offering also. But nobody wants to taste the same kheer/payasam again and again? Do you???

Dal/Kootu Varieities

Kootu, yet another delicious part of an elaborate southindian menu. Kootu is generally a non-tamarind based thick gravy, made with veggies and dal, though there is tamarind based kootu known as puli kootu also. Some like me, have kootu podi/spice powder for exclusively flavoring the kootu, makes the job more easy, some roast and grind spices while making the kootu to flavor them. 

Dal on the other hand, is a north-indian style kootu, made with simple spices, sometimes with veggies, sometimes without. Though Dal is typically northindian, now-a -days it is a common menu in many south-indian house holds too. I myself make dal almost 3-4 days in a week. 

Here is a collection of Kootu and Dal recipes from my kitchen.
