Charu with homemade Charu Powder
Contributor: Geetha Madhuri
already andaru cheppinattu unnaru kada rasam recipe nenu naa version postuta which I learnt from my mom. Amma charu/rasam ki chala mandi fans unnaru.
1st I make charu podi and store. It's made of 1cup turdal, 1cup dhaniyalu, 50 gms of jeera and black pepper, approx 20-25 red chillies. I use little more black pepper as I like the flavour. Dry them and powder little coarse.
Now take a lemon size tamarind and soak it in water and extract pulp. Add some more water to this. Water quantity varies according to the sourness of tamarind. Allow it to boil while u add diced tomatoes, salt, small piece of jaggery(optional), 2tsps of the powder, curry leaves and coriander. I usually don't add dal to my charu. If I add I'll add about 1cup of Tur dal boiled and the procedure is same but it'll be called pappu charu in our house. After it is boiled give it tempering with fenugreek seeds, jeera, mustard seeds and red chilly. If you like u can add hing orelse garlic and mix it to the charu. It's very tasty and is more like a clear soup😛
If you want to avoid tamarind u can do it completely with tomatoes or u can add dry/ fresh mango or just boil it without tamarind pulp and after u off the stove, add lime juice. All are equally tasty.
For sambar powder I also add fenugreek seeds about 3/4th cup and a fistful of channa dal and powder it. Then procedure is same like pappu charu except that we boil veggies and dal qty is more.

Sakinalu
Contributor: Sravanthi Suresh
here you go with recipe for sakinalu
This is a lengthy procedure so make sure you are prepared for it
Soak 1 cup rice over night and drain the following morning and keep it aside for about 15 to 20 mins till the water drains off completely
Take small portions of rice and make them into fine powder
Sieve the milled flour and put the coarse bits back in jar again and try to make into fine powder
Put sesame seeds, butter (1 tsp), salt (as per your taste) and mix it with water. It should be soft than chapathi dough so that you can form strings/thick noodles kind of with your fingers (hope i am explaining it right)
lay a cotton cloth or towel (2 layers) and start making noddles and let it go around on the towel to make in form of sakinalu using three fingers. This is a lil tricky so please use very small portion to start with. This cant go into any machine to make muruku later.
If you want make a spicy version then add red chilli paste or peri peri sauce will also do the justice (I used pandu mirapakaya paste this time but last year amma was here and she tried peri peri and it tasted the same).
after you made all the round spirals on the cotton cloth. leave them to dry for about an hour and then start deep frying them.

Vegetable Soup
Contributor: Usha Rao
Vegetable Soup - this is a very easy soup and you can throw in any vegetable you like. I don't like store bought stocks so I use bouillon cubes. Maggi vi chinna cubes vastunai, each box has 20 cubes and those cubes are just perfect for when making a small pot of soup. I have seen only chicken and beef flavors. Vegetable flavor loo vastundo ledo teliyadu. But you can use any other brand or just use stock. There is the recipe...
Ingredients:
1 – 2 tsp. Oil
1 – 1 ½ tsp. Ginger Garlic Paste
4-5 Button mushrooms diced
1 small – medium Carrot sliced
4-6 Green Beans cut into 1 – 1 ½” pieces
1 tender Celery sliced
Handful of Moong Beans Sprouts or canned White Beans (opt)
1 small Tomato chopped or 1 – 2 tbsp. tomato Sauce (opt. I did not use it yesterday)
3-5 small Cauliflower Florets cut into small pieces (I did not use it yesterday)
Handful of Kale or Spinach chopped (I used kale yesterday)
1/8 tsp. Pepper Powder (adjust to taste)
¼ tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
1 mini cube Bouillon
2 cups Water
Cilantro chopped
In a pan heat oil and sauté ginger garlic paste for few seconds.
Add all the vegetables except sprouts, kale/spinach & cilantro. Sauté the vegetables for 2-3 minutes until veggies are lightly roasted. Add tomato sauce, salt & pepper and saute for few seconds. If using tomato, cook for a minute until tomato is soft and mushy.
Add water, bouillon and bring the water to a boil. Let it boil for a minute or 2 until the vegetables are cooked, especially cauliflower if using.
Add sprouts and kale/spinach. If using kale cook for 2-3 minutes until kale is cooked. If using spinach cook for 1 – 1 ½ minutes. Add cilantro turn of the heat and serve.
Again, you can use stock instead of water+bouillon.
Tomato is optional usually do not added it as I usually add tomato to almost all the curries I make. So I leave it out in the soup. If there is any left over canned tomato sauce, I add a little.
Also you can add vegetables to your preference. I usually add lots of vegetables as it is filling.
Sometimes I also add some diced onions along with other vegetables
