Pallagaram

Chinamah and Chinayah came over today to teach me and the maid how to make my favourite 'pehrangayam pallaharam' in short ribbon muruku. It was amma who taught them long time ago and then they improvised the recipe. They wrote out the recipe and brought it along. What a waste that I never learnt how to do it when amma was around. But it is quite a tedious and tiring  job especially the frying part. The recipe alone was quite easy but it was the tail end that I did not like. Why can't Indian recipes end with pop it into the oven and let it bake. Anyway it turned it quite nice but it still lacked amma's touch just like everything else. I can easily finish one whole container of it in a day. Its been a week and its still there. 

Maybe all of us have to learn one or two things so that we can have one person specialising in something. Shobah said she tried to make some pallaharam and it turned out quite well. Maybe we have to depend on her for our pallaharam from next year. 

Thank you Chinamah and Chinayah. Much appreciated:) Acca will be very pleased.
