Huggi

This is my grandmother's signature dish. I can probably never match the taste with what she prepared during my childhood.

This is very similar to pongal which is prepared in Bangalore/Tamil Nadu with moong dal and rice. A one pot meal. Can be served with tamarind chutney. Thats how I grew up eating and even now its a must for my husband. He will not eat Huggi without the chutney. Tangy taste with a tinge of jaggery makes it drool worthy.

Vegetable Biryani

Long time back I used to prepare Egg Biryani very often. I always wanted to prepare it with simple vegetables and I could make it only last week. Well I do not use any biryani masala whenever I prepare this. I use whole spices from my kitchen. Both my husband and I dont like too much of cinnamon, cardamom and clove taste in our food and preparing this way helps me reduce or increase the spices quantity per our taste.
