And the Celebration continues….
It is a special week.
A simple man with simple needs. He loves gadgets, teaches the boys ‘Raspberry Pi'(I thought that was such a funny name for a computer). He smiles when I get mad at him. I don’t remember him getting mad with either of us, the boys or me. He is so good at surprises.

When things are in a rush, every body’s got lots to do and you feel the need for extra couple of hours in a day….then comes the spicy yummy meal craving. That’s when one pot meals come in handy.
Don’t you love one pot meals?

Today I am happy to be guest writing for one of my first blogger friends. Now, we all know blogging is a lot of work which we all love, but doing it with two little ones can pose some challenges. Shruthi, a beautiful photographer manages both pretty well and her sincerity can be seen in her work.
PLEASE visit her beautiful blog Part time chef. Thank you so much.

“Appearance are often deceiving”- Aesop’s quotes.
Some kind of curry with tamarind is a staple in a South Indian home. South Indians have a large repertoire for their vegetarian curries and this is just one variation of a tamarind curry. A spicy and tangy sauce atop some steamy plain white rice is comfort food for many. It’s almost all the time accompanied by a mild dish. You will never be able to find authentic dishes like this in any restaurant. Some of the curry recipes are passed on from generations and if followed religiously, the taste is pretty spectacular. In Karnataka, where I’m from and many of their dishes are generally spiked with a touch of sugar or jaggery(brown sugar). Their sambhar, tamarind rice, rasam, tamarind kozhumbu( curry), their dishes are spicy yet a bit sweet and I love it.

Sundays were and are very special meal days. Those days (not too long ago;)), I would wait for Sundays for a huge feast. I would get ready for the part I looked forward to the whole week. It would be hard for me to convince dad, but I would tag along with him sometimes to the farmers’ market really early morning. Our fancy breakfast of appam (thin pancake) and sweetened coconut milk or sweet idiyappam (rice noodles), would be ready by the time we got back.. As soon as we devoured our breakfast, mom would start preparing for our lunch.
There were few things and habits which never changed, our Sunday menu was one of ’em. The Brown Chicken, as my little one calls it now, was the STAR of our lunch. So glad that this Peppery curry leaves Chicken has become one of the favorite dishes of the picky eater.
