When
Dibs announced the
Kitchen Treasure Hunt event, I had planned a post to showcase some of my kitchen treasures. No cooking only clicking required. But till the last day no pictures taken for the event. Today morning, I clicked few pics in hurry. Have a look at few of my treasures.
My day starts with preparing the coffee decotion. The size varies according to members present. I have two more which are larger in size. That comes out only during functions.
Idiyappam press has made it easier to prepare them. It was hard time using the the traditional press.
Koduval - I use this to break the coconut.
Chirava -Traditional coconut scrapper
Iyya Chombu to prepare rasam. This belongs to MIL's MIL. And it is more than 50 yrs old. Taste of rasam prepared in this vessel is unbeatable.
Uruli - Used to prepare payasam.
