Aloo Tikki /Potato Sliders

Coming to the day 2 of Blogging Marathon #50,I chose to do  potato dish  given.Potato is one such versatile vegetable and n number of recipes can be made. Potato tikki is a multi purpose dish that can be relished as such with tomato ketchup as an appetizer or snack.It can be even used in sandwich or to make chaat along with the chutneys. The highlight the tikki is,its pan fried and comparatively lesser calories than shallow or deep fried versions.Off to the recipe..........................................                                                                                                                                 ...

Udupi Tomato Rasam/Tomato Saaru

Starting the 4th and final week of Blogging Marathon #66 with Regional recipes.For the regional theme I chose to share some of the Karnataka dishes.Today's recipe is a simple yet comforting rasam.We make rasam in a slightly different way and the rasam powder uses lot of black pepper.Also we grind the the rasma powder to a bit coarse consistency. But this rasam powder doesn't need any black pepper and the flavor and taste comes from the red chilly and coriander seeds.And the powder needs to be powdered to a fine powder.Lets move on to the recipe................                                                                                                                     ...
