Kollu Masiyal / Kollu Kadayal / Horsegram Masiyal - Kongunadu Special!

Kollu Kadayal / Masiyal is an authentic dish from Kongunadu (Coimbatore region of Tamilnadu) cuisine.  Kollu Masiyal is nothing but  horsegram mashed with aromatic spices.  It is very healthy, protein rich legume recipe that goes well with rice. 

During my U.G study in Coimbatore, I had several opportunities to taste authentic kongu cuisine through my friends and this recipe is one among them. Soon I will update Arisi Paruppu Sadam and Pallipalayam Chicken recipes that I learnt from my friends. 
Stay tuned!

I have posted many horsegram recipes, do check the post and give your feedback.

Beetroot Thogayal / Chutney - South Indian Style

This colourful  beetroot thogayal is a very tasty accompaniment for rice.   I used to prepare stir fry, kurma, raita or halwa using beetroot often, but chutney is new to me,  till I tasted that in my friend Shanthi Vijay's house.  Thank you shanthi for the recipe too. 

A simple and healthy way to include beetroot in your diet in a different but tasty way!
