The shallot is a relative of the onion, and tastes a bit like an onion but has a sweeter, milder flavor. They are more expensive than onions and can be stored for at least 6 months..It is widely used in the southern part of India. In Kannada language it is known as 'Eerulli' and used extensively in snacks, salads, curries and rice varieties. In Tamil it is called Sambar Vengayam and Kochulli in Malayalam and is used in Sambar  and different types of kuzhambu..i tried it as thuvaiyal n this goes very well as side for sambar saadham, rasam as well as side for idli n dosai…

Chalna / Salna is typically a term related to non-veg category, its the watery leftover gravy from any meat curry preparation, mostly mutton or chicken. There isn't a vegetarian version and even if any veggies added to it, its termed as Saagu. Here I've created a vegetarian style salna which tastes pretty decent and could be one good quick gravy for roti / idli / dosai.

Bharwan ~~~ Stuffed, Bhindi ~~~ Okra / ladys Finger, is nothing but Stuffed Okra preparation typically a Gujarati dish. Authentic gujarati preparations are made without onion and garlic, mostly plain dry curry, slightly bland. This is one such dish with mild spices powder stuffed in okra and stir fried. But in my recipe here… I've taken this Gujarati dish to one step ahead, making it spicy with our own tamilian touch. Karam.. Manam.. Gunam gonda Stuffed Vendakkai..

Vallarai masiyal

Vallarai also called saraswathi keerai, it belongs to the family of herbs but it can be used as routine green. Its leaves look like kidney shaped. It improves the mind's receptive capacity & capable of improving a person's memory power.  Amma prepares kuzhambu by using this vallarai. Using tamarind & chilli with this will reduce the medicinal effects. So i tried it in the other way.
