RAVA KOZHUKATTAI / SOOJI DUMPLINGS

Hi All,
I always feel dinner options are very less to me. So whenever something quick and easy recipes comes I immediately try and save it.
Few years back I saw this recipe in Yummytummyarthi I saved it but tried only a couple of times and never tried after shifting to bangalore.
Last week idli dosa batter was over and bored of chapathi and rotis (also in good mood of cooking 😊) so thought of giving a try again with some changes from actual recipe.
The kozhukattais came out so beautiful , pluffy, soft and it was just like my arisi kozhukattai.Also it took only hardly 20 mins for cooking.
Everyone liked it with tomato chutney , Serve such kozhukattais with spicy,tangy chutnies for perfect combo.

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible.
