For this month's Walk Through Memory Lane, the host, due to some unexpected reasons couldn't guest host it. So I had to jump in. And so this month, WTML will be hosted here at Gayathri's Cook Spot and I request all my friends and readers to support the event by sending in your entries. If you are a regular reader of my blog then you will be familiar with the event I have been conducting for the past two years. This event is about recreating your childhood favourite recipes. Every month a blogger guest hosts the event at her space which has increased the popularity of this event. I am really thankful to all my friends for making this event a great success.
Today I will share with you a speciality of mom - Maa Vatral Kulambu as the first entry of the event. Every summer, my mom prepares vatral and vadagam which lasts the whole year. One vatral is the maa vatral made with raw mangoes. The mangoes are sliced and soaked in slaine water. Then they are sun dried. This process is repeated for 3-5 days until a salty crust is formed on the mangoes. Then they are completely dried and stored in airtight jars. The gravy made with this vatral tastes delicious. Even when I am typing this post, I am feeling hungry. Just serve this gravy with rice and papad and it will surely make you crave for more. This when prepared in manchatti ( pan made out of terracotta) tastes fantastic.
