I usually leave a few different kinds of beans now and then to sprout. One evening when I got home from work, Amma had made this lovely broccoli thoran (stirfry). Along with rice, pulisseri (a yoghurt based South Indian Curry) rasam & papads, it was a lovely dinner.

This savoury snack is regularly made in Palakkad Iyer households during Navrathri season as a neivedyam (offering to the diety). Navarathri was very much looked forward to during my school years in Palakkad.

Followed his relatively simple recipe, resulting in this "snappy Armenian-style crackers, perfect for breadbaskets, company and kids". Needless to say, my daughter was instantly hooked on to it and the cracker ended up being her dinner...almost. I had to bribe her so she would save some for snacktime tomorrow.

The sweetness of the chunky pineapple pieces and the mild tangyness of the tamarind makes it a mouthwatering delicacy; the hint of mustard in the ground coconut paste adds a subtle yet distinct flavour to it. This sweet-tangy-yummy side dish is one of the delicacies in Palakkad Iyer wedding feasts.
