Welcome to Indian Tamil recipe collection.
I love cooking. I like sharing them with you. Don’t under estimate the power of a tasty and delicious meal! Its not just the meal people appreciate but the care, love, time and effort in preparing Indian Tamil recipe.
Tamil food is Easy
From idli sambar to chicken and mutton biryani we have done it all! I am glad you found the right place for spicy, tasty, delicious, and hot South Indian recipes. I cook Tamil recipes for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner almost everyday. For 28 years my husband, two daughters, family and friends have enjoyed my tamil food over and over again.
Mother’s cooking 
People have traditionally loved their mother’s cooking. It is not that every mother is the best cook in the world. To most children, yes mother’s are the best. Our taste buds have been trained from childhood to appreciate certain flavors and foods. More so with Tamil cooking.
My husband(like most husbands) loves his mother’s recipes. I learned most of them. I cook his mother’s madurai Indian Tamil recipe very often. It brings him enormous pleasure. This in turn brings great dividends your way. You have made him happy! This is one of the best kept secrets of a happy marriage. If you have not tried yet, give it a go!!
Patience and Practice
Cooking is learned by practice. Just be patient and persevere and you will become a great cook soon. It does not really take many years. Just keep working at it.
Tamil cooking
Let me show you step by step how simple and easy Indian Tamil recipe is. The best times are always around the dining table. Tamil Food plays a central role in Tamil family bonding. All our Tamil parties are planned around eating! Taste and flavor will work wonders with people.
You can contact me through scfenn@gmail.com and I will walk you through any difficult phase of the cooking. I would love to hear from you. How about that? Tamil recipes collection is FREE!
Choose your Favorite Tamil recipe!
The Indian Tamil recipe is arranged under vegetarian and non-vegetarian catogories. I also have diabetic information, since both of us are diabetics (under control!). We will add new tamil recipes and resources regularly. Keep visiting Tamil cooking collection. Enjoy!

An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If possible, as you become expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is highly helpful for me. Big thumb up for this blog post!
Thank you so much for your comments. This really encourages me to keep this site up. You can also send in your recipes and I will post them under your name.
Thanks.
Several places you mention putting rice in a pressure cooker and cooking five minutes on high then five minutes on low without the weight. Do you not put the weight on at any time? Or do you have it on during the high heat then take it off for the low heat? We just came back from Tamil Nadu and Kerala and loved the cooking. We were looking for a site which could help us capture the flavor of our time there and we love this site.
Thanks so much
Dear Gordon,
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, You do not use the weight at all for any rice recipe if Briyani rice is used. If you use long grain or another non briyani rice then you may have to use the weight.
Thanks and appreciate your comment that you like the site.
So useful and very happy to sse asite for south indian cooking in the time when pizza and burger are dominating in most of the houses.Here I would like to share one recipe if you permit me shallI?

Thanks a lot…
Hi Shirley,,,,
Appreciate the efforts. Good Job done.
Could you please help me with some simple, easy, less fatty recipes for breakfast and lunch which could be prepared in minimum time for office going women?
hi, the simple breakfast you requested is probably uppuma or pongal which less fatty. Under rice you can make curd rice, lime rice or taamarind rice for lunch. these are simple easy and less fatty.
Dear Shirley, I would really like to have the best recipe for Athirasam, In my country we called it Adourson.
Please if you know the recipe, please let me have it as My family and I really like this cake.
Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

I’m having 2 yrs old baby,she is hesitating to eat food., i think she won’t like my prearation,.tell me some dishes for child that eat most., and preparatory method.,,,
Dear Manju,
A two year old should be eating well. Did you consult your Dr to see why she has no appetite? She may even have some form of worms. But if she is otherwise healthy she will eat. Potato is good at this stage. Boil and mash potato well with little salt and ghee or butter. Taste it yourself and see you like it first, then feed her little bit at a time, Rice, ghee with paruppu with little salt is delicious and she should like it. Make the rice really cooked (nalla kolancha sadham). All items have to be warm, not too hot nor cold.
I am not sure you are vegetarian or not, if you are not then you can try just a little bit of minced (ground) meat with rice as well. You have to try a variety of dishes to see what she likes. Usually children do not like vegetables much you have to mash them and mix them in rice to start with. MIlk and Curd rice with just the right amount of salt is the most common, but have a variety to see what she likes. 1 Boiled and mashed egg with salt is good.
Feed only a little at a time, if she does not want it do not force, see if she eats after some time. You have to find out as a mother whether it is the preparation she does not like or she is not hungry at all. If not hungry consult a doctor immediately..

Hai all tamil cooking recipes are very delicious. I loose some of my mom,s recipes.I think this blog will help me to find that.
Thank you. If you need anything special ask me and I will try and help.
Freezing leftovers is a great way to eat healthy and to save money, too. Buy foods like onions in season and dry to preserve for the entire year.
This is a great blog post. thank you very much for the wonderful insight and we really appreciate the time you took to write this. thank again.
