Badam burfi is one popular katli variety found in most sweet shops in India. Here is simple homemade version of this item. Coming to making perfect soft and sharp katli is quite an art and needs lot of practice. Fine grounding the nuts is one key factor which is hard to do with regular mixies… so mine will look slightly coarse texture wise. Adding milk while grinding is also another trick to grind them to a paste consistency but shelf life is limited and also mostly yields halwa like chewy bufis which I personally don't like and always powder mine after drying.
Ragi Porridge or Kepaai koozhl is very healthy and cooling. This is the best breakfast on sunny days. People having diabetes can have it very well.
Banana Blossoms / Banana flower is not that common here in USA except for some coastal and tropical regions. To my surprise found one fresh in my local market this week. Atlast!
Egg kurma forms the staple Sunday breakfast menu in our house. I like it with whole eggs whereas my husband likes it with bulls eyes all around

Anchovies are called Nethili in Tamil. These are tini tiny fishes edible both in fresh and dried form. The dried ones are called Nethili Karuvaadu, which I've used for this recipe, coated with masala and pan fried until crisp.
Fresh Anchovies can be found in regular grocery markets under tinned foods packed with salt and preservatives. These can be used for kuzhambu preparations.

With a few basic ingredients in my pantry and some leftover idli / dosa batter in my refrigerator….and with humongous craving for flavourful simple dinner then immediately steaming piping hot idlis with tomato kurma is all I can think of ! My recipe goes with extra cinnamon flavour… BTW, it goes very well with tomato combination.
