Today's special lunch -Paaya (Lamb trotters) & dosai!!
Today's special lunch - Paaya (Lamb trotters) & dosai!!
Its funny how food blogs influence your lunch decisions! You see something somewhere on some blog & you realise that it has been a long time since you have had that dish & makes you long for it!!;)
You set out to catch hold of all the ingredients & are at peace only after you have cooked & eaten it! This paaya was one such dish! At home my amma always served it with soft spongy dosais which we used as sort of bread to mop up all the yummy paaya soup. So here too, i served this with some soft spongy dosais to recreate some of those happy food memories!:))
So today's lunch was:
Aatukaal paaya
+
Homestyle soft sponge dosai
=
My lunch today!!;))

Looks like a yummy dish and with dosa,out of this world to soak up the gravy.You cook well,I enjoy visiting you!:))
The paaya looks so inviting with the oil floating on top.Must have been an excellent combo for those spongy dosas.Forgot to mention I love your soft chappathies too.Any secret ingredient other than your expertise? :-D
Lots of love,
Kate.
Paaya and aapam - I will do anything for u to serve me this...My thaatha used to make this for us.. The last time I ate it was almost 15 years ago, still the taste is lingering and memories of thaatha always springs back..
recently seen this on joseph's blog isnt it ???
first time seeing you here mallugirl,welcome to my blog!:)we too used to eat those combos too- idlis&fish kozhumbhu , puris & lamb stew( for breakfast!) etc! Earlier my mom used to serve this with aappam, but somehow over the years it changed,it became appam with talai kari or prawn vindali & dosai with paaya! do try out the dosai & paya combo it tastes delicious:)
ha!ha! dear kate you are talking about the oil floating on top ! you didn't see the fat layers on the kaals that i ate!;)))but was yummy!As for the soft chappatis, no big secret kate, just depends on how you knead the dough( dont make it too hard nor too soft& allow it to rest for atleast 3 hrs, for the more the proofing time, the more the gluten develops & the chappatis are softer!) & the atta's quality.
thanks,gini ,as soon as i finish the pending posts, i will put it up as promised to asha!:)After a long time,i ate my lunch with the tv switched off & fully enjoyed the meal!!
glad to see you here revathi:)do get your thata's version too & put it up it on your blog!i am planning to post my mom's version shortly on my blog:)yes! it was joseph's blog which lead me to cook this long forgotten dish!;)
mlp you are TOO MODEST!!;)) what 8 dosais?!! 8 dosai is for kuruvis!! my secret source tells me its around 10 to 12 dosais & that too with some stiff copetition from someone who ate away clarisse & clarisse amma's lunch!!:))ha!ha!ha!
