Hello Ruchimayam viewers after a long time I am here to share interesting recipe i.e Regupalla pachhadi or regupalla chutney.

Regu pandu is one type of fruit which is available at winter season. This was the one fruit which kids like to eat very much like mango. We used to have this tree at my home when I was child, I and my sisters used to eat this fruit a lot.

According to Wikipedia regu pandu is called as Indian plum in English (ref: wikipedia), ber in Hindi. This fruits are used as bhogi pallu for kids at the time of sankranthi.

First clean the red chilli with water and then wipe out with a clean towel and then grind them in the mixi jar and salt at the time of grinding only. so it will mix well in the karam. Now take the mixture into bowl.

Cauliflower Light Fry

Cauliflower is a wonderful healthy vegetable which is very high in Protein, Vitamin C,K , Fiber and too less in cholesterol and saturated fat. Equally.., it makes tasty dishes. Take the vegetable in any form, cooked, raw - for example as soaked in lime juice and salt.. it tastes great. This fry needs a very little amount of oil and so I thought I'd call it light fry :) Also, it takes very less time to get fried so, this can be planned instantly too.
