Of Navarathri day 6, kathrikai, black channa, nei urundai..

My Navarathri posts continues. Just a few more to go.

Navarathri Day 6.
Kathrikai/brinjal rice, black channa lentils, nei urundai/ghee flour balls.

Kathrikai satham. My version. No tamarind or cinnamon bits.
Tempered mustard seeds, white and broken chick pea lentils, broken cashews in gingerly oil and ghee/pure clarified butter.
Added chopped ginger, dried red chillies, fresh green chillies, hing/asaefotida
beautiful green fragrant curry leaves.
Added brinjals with turmeric powder, salt and crushed black pepper and cummin.
Then the just-cooked rice.
Garnished with coriander leaves.
Simple light and good for the tummy with the black pepper cummin mix.

Black channa sundal.
Boiled lentils tempered with mustard seeds, chopped ginger, cummin seeds, curry leaves, dried red chillies, fresh green chillies, hing/asaefotida, broken coconut pieces, raw mango bites, fresh grated coconut.

Nei urundai.
Beautiful golden molded balls of flour, sugar and ghee/pure clarified butter. One bite and it melts-in-the-mouth. Courtesy husband. Clever man, that 😎

After work, prayers and rehearsals.
Packed prasad for the children to have at home.
