2 tsp turmeri powderc.
4 tsp fenugreek/ vendeiyuam.
4 tsp cumin / jeeragam
2 tsp perungaayam
2 tsp chilli powder / increase if you want it spicy 2 tsp is enough to make it appropriately bland for children and people who dont like the spice.
3 tsp salt.
1/2 cup of lime juice.
optional : 2tsp jaggery in powder form.
step 1: heat kadai with one cup of nallaennai. add garlic pieces to oil. add turmeeric. keep heating for 4 min.
step 2: meanwhile take a thalikara karandi and fry induvidually with one spoon oil each. by adding to much oil for frying it becomes difficult to powder.. vendayem. jeeragam. let them dry out. grind them with chilli poder and perungayam powder.

The wedding.....
the run up to the wedding was chaotic... too many things to do... too little time to do it.... end of the day missed out inviting my best friend and her family.... feeling miserable about it though.... cant do anything about it because i know how hurt one would feel for being left out...
finally married.... three months into the journey is when i have the time to take out and jot down what is going on and how it actually is....
yes well, married life is over hyped....it is just living under the same roof... and a lot of things hit you about the person you thought you know like the back of your hand....after the wedding well that person becomes all the family you ever have... no turning back.... give it your all to make it work... ups and downs... all a part of the road....
i wish things were the way they were before the wedding.... but at times i just wish they are the way they are now.... don't know still being the confused spoilt child that i always was....
