The growing product list

It seems to me that I am in this business of home made foods more for the challenge of trying out a new recipe (either a thokku, or pickle, or masala, or podi or a sweet), rather than try and find newer and better means of selling it. I am unable to stop. The creative satisfaction this provides is unending :) I tried pickles like lime and garlic in various ways.

I was savouring 😋  my own Inji Puli and could not get a second helping for myself  - it vanished within a few minutes, right under my reluctant eyes. My family wanted it all.  It all started when I left for a short trip to Chennai (btw that's one of the reasons I was absent from my blog ) . I met my sister and she asked me "hey malli, why don't you prepare Inji puli - its a hot favourite with my family and friends."   And when I returned to Bangalore, where I live, that's just what I did!! Inji puli is a mix of ginger, tamarind and garlic , mashed together in oil and serves as a paste to be eaten with rice, as a chutney to be eaten with idlis and dosas and as a spread to be eaten with Indian bread or chapathis.
