Welcome to Wonderfully Vegetarian - a down-to-earth cooking experience based on my kitchen exploits.

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. -- Albert Einstein

You must have heard "Kalyana Samayal satham" song at some point. Well, may be not quite there, but I certainly hope the posts in this blog enrich your cooking experience and lets you approach cooking with a SMILE, rather than as a chore or a rules to follow regimen. Anything Vegetarian goes, ONLY criterion: The end product MUST taste good - to those you are serving.

ஸ்ட்ராபெர்ரி கண்ணே ...... ஸ்ட்ராபெர்ரி குழம்பு! (Strawberry sambhar)

You know when all of a sudden you cannot eat the foods you normally eat, you go berserk wondering what to eat. My life partner is in such a situation. He started an exercise cum diet program that is so intense. I am trying to come up with recipes that will suit what he can eat! The first week it was all tofu, plain tofu toasted.
Then when I knew what was allowed, I started tweeking it with our spices, etc.,

So it was that I ended up making Strawberry kuzhambhu!

It is simple:

Take some firm (slighty on the sour tasting side) strawberries, wash and keep.
Dry roast coriander seeds, red chillies, kopra, meithi, urad dal and a few peanuts. Blend all the ingredients together with the some of the strawberries and coriander leaves. Take a pan and add some oil, and pop mustard seeds. To this add the blended wet mix you have, add salt to taste and pre-prepared tamarind water and let boil in medium flame for a few minutes.
Top it off with asafoetida and curry leaves.
Your nutrious sauce will go with sweets or with rice or chappati.

Let me know how you like it.

Happy healthy cooking!!!!!
