Plain rasam is what I call this, as i am not adding any dal to this dish.
In a state of no mood to even keep dal in cooker :-), you can really rely on this.
No, no, this is not for lazy cooking.
By the time you start making, the awesome aroma will give you instant energy boost.
And you end up cooking, not 1.. but even more :-) :-)

Today, wanted to make the most tastiest Rajma Gravy. As always, the Rajma gravy is very usual in taste. Rather, the Rajma gravy has the similar kind of recipe all over.
Yet, let me try presenting the common recipe into a little more tastier one.
Having tried Aapam and Idiyapam in the Kerala way. it would be unfair if I dont post the
Ishtu - potato stew.
The ' kollu ' - Horsegram dal is very effective in providing heat to the body when you need them badly.
Also they provide good energy.
Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Kollu Rasam.... Tangy Soupy ..
I was too much interested in making this gravy that i missed to click pics for the step - by - step posting.
Hope the gravy is rich in its simplicity as well that eliminates the need for the pictures.
Mysore Rasam is a real needed change of tangy taste for hot and sour craving tongue..
The most saught after rotis is the Naan.
I have chosen to make them with wheat flour this time.

The plain ghee rice, called popularly as Nei Soru is a yet another no bother ingredient ,
as no major preparations as demanded for a pulao or biryani.
The aroma of the Kerala Sambar is fantastic.
