Kaffir Lime Leaves pickle (VepilaKatti)

Onam is next week and here is one healthy pickle which is traditionally made in palakkad - Vepilakatti. This is one of my favorite pickle which is made out of bitter orange leaves (Naarthangaai). Lime leaves, curry leaves, roasted dry chili,small onion, tamarind and hing are combined and blended as a coarse paste. They are then made as small balls for consumption.

Lime leaves Spaghetti

Spaghetti is a regular dish when there is a kid at home. I was in mood of clearing up the fridge and found some kaffir lime leaves left over. I decided to make spaghetti by mixing kaffir lime leaves instead of regular Italian basil leaves. I did the lime leaves pickle and add it to spaghetti. It turned out to be tangy and super delicious. So I decided to post this after trying out couple of times by checking at the feedback of my family members. All of us liked it in spite of repeating it thrice within a span of 10 days. This dish is very fast to do if you have the lime leaves pickle handy and it is easy to pack it for kids in the early morning for school lunch box.

Thai Yellow Curry

Thai curries are our all-time favorites. I generally make the curry paste and store them in freezer and use it for 2 or three times. Storing the curry paste in freezer makes the cooking of this dish much faster during working days. Lemongrass is an aromatic healer and has a lot of health benefits. I generally make it when anyone of has cold or cough at home in the form of soup and also include them in dishes. One such dish which is very easy to make is the thai yellow curry.
