Poricha / Poritha rasam is one interesting variation to regular rasam where tamarind is totally avoided and prepared with crushed tomatoes, dal water and all jazzed up with unsual combination of spice powder. This recipe is little time consuming unless you have everything prepared ahead. Definitely you need dal water which has to be pressured cooked and of course my spice powder version has coconut… and has to be prepared fresh for an fulfilling taste.

Zunka anyone ?? What on earth could this be? (Obviously for anyone with no Hindi or Marathi background) Exactly! that was my first  thought when I heard this name from a colleague who brought this beautiful dish for a potluck. It was so colourful and I couldn't resist my temptation to explore it. Zunka is a humble Maharashtrian dish… almost a staple there, simply meaning stir-fry, smeared with besan, a quicker version of Usili or Pithali, often made with just onions.

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.
