Thavala Vada with Coconut Chutney

Blogging took a backseat for the longest time ever and it seems like I am starting fresh. I will let the reasons fade in to oblivion and only talk about the good things happening off late..most importantly I am back to cooking and clicking and now also posting actively this week. I picked combo dishes for Blogging marathon as a theme purely to try some of the dishes mentioned in the list. While I have shortlisted quite a few, I will be posting only couple of them, this time.
DH is only happy to know about me getting back to blogging as it means new dishes for him. Little one is not too excited as by now he had claimed the laptop for his gaming activities which he will have to part with while I blog.
Coming back to the subject of interest today's recipe is a complete new dish for my culinary vocab. It will now be part of it for long, super simple to make and healthy too. What worked more was the fact that it is raining in mumbai
