Easy corn pakodas

Presenting extremely easy to make appetizer - corn pakodas. I got this recipe from a cooking show. It was prepared in under 5 min, or that’s what it was shown as.. It took me close to 15 - 20 minutes.  Fresh corn works best, I used frozen corn. Anyways, I added some mint and cilantro, which was not in the original, and because of that it tasted more like falafel. Perfect appetizer to take for potlucks and parties. Do try!

Vangi bath - from scratch

There’s a youtube channel from Mallamma ajji - cooking granny or something(link given below), from which I have cooked couple of recipes, which turned out very good. Very authentic. I like mallamma ajji’s granny vibes and how she explains every recipe in a simple manner. 

Coming to the recipe, Vangi bath or Brinjal rice, is a famous Karnataka dish/rice bath. You can make a big batch of Vangi bath powder just like Sambar/Rasam powders and use it whenever needed. Original recipe has proportions for a big batch, but here I have also given proportions for one time serving in brackets along with the original. Also, original recipe uses onion - garlic, which I generally don’t use for vangi bath and they can be easily skipped.
