When ghee is prepared the whole house is filled with mouth-watering aromas coming from the kitchen. Once the ghee is sieved from its residue the next big question is to what to do with the few teaspoons of those yummy residues. Here comes my first dish with ghee residue, “Nei Kasandu Masala Rice | Ghee Residue Masala Rice”. Ghee residue is infused with fresh garam masalas like clove, bay leaves, Marathi moggu, kalpasi & cinnamon for few minutes. It is then cooked with green chili, garlic, onion and rice to get this flavorful “Nei Kasandu Masala Rice | Ghee Residue Masala Rice” .

Black Rice Pulihora | Kavuni Arisi Puliyodharai

What happens when Black Rice from Thailand meets Andhra style pulihora mix and finally marinated in a claypot a drool worthy “Black Rice Pulihora” is born on Adiperukku (A festival celebrated in Tamilnadu). I made this recipe on Adiperukku a couple of days ago.  Pulihora is an all-time favorite in my home including my little one who literally waits for us to take Perumal Temple in Little India particularly on Saturday as we get Pulihora as a prasadam. I really cannot beat that taste.
