Ulunthu Kanchi / Urad dal Porridge

Ulunthu kanchi is very good recipe for our health. My mom used to make this recipe once or twice a month. She always prepares it on sunday morning. I like to have a spicy sidedish with this kanchi. My mom makes vengaya milagai as a side dish which i love the most. Any pickle or thogaiyal would also be a perfect side dish for this kanchi.

Today i am making this kanchi using black gram(urad dal) without skin. But you can also make this kanchi with black gram(with skin) which is more healthier.

Home Made Ginger Garlic Paste

    Ginger garlic paste is one of the very basic ingredient which we use in most of our indian cooking. It is also essential for non-veg recipes. Grinding ginger garlic paste very little is hard. Sometimes i skip ginger garlic paste for the sake of grinding little. Thats when i decided to grind generous amount of ginger garlic paste and store it. Now, I grind it and store it atleast for two weeks. This paste will be good for a month in referigerator. But i prefer store small amount and no longer than two weeks. Try this homemade ginger garlic paste at your home and use it whenever you need.
