    Today's neivedyam was Kadambam Sadam and Pattani Sundal (Tricolour Salad). Though I have a recipe for Kadamba Sadam, thought I would just look around to see how everybody makes it. Surprise surprise, each one was different! One recipe I referred was from Suganya who, of course, has beautiful pictures to boot. The other one was from a recipe site. So looks like one can adapt this recipe in your own way. Though true to its name, different vegetables are added in. So I was pleasantly thrilled to realize I had soaked all the lentils in my pantry last night. You know that I intend to clear my overstocked pantry of lentils right.

    Kadambam in Tamil means a melody of different things put together. It's normally used in reference to flowers, where different flowers are strung together to be made as a garland and offered to God. These flowers are also worn by the ladies on their hair. Kadamda Sadam calls for all types of vegetables and made more like the Sambar Sadam or Bisi Bela Bath. But a much milder version and quicker too.

    Kadambam Rice

    On a different note, I got a couple of emails from blogger friends, who alerted my blog, including few others, have been entirely copied. Plagiarism is depressing, knowing how much time goes into a post, it's sad to note few don't acknowledge that.

    On the positive side, I find it elevating that the person found it interesting and worth the entire blog has been copied. Maybe it stems from the fact of hearing one statement often from Daddy and Hubby dear. They always keep saying "Think how you can do it, find a solution rather than saying you can't do it" Positive attitude and thinking "nothing is impossible" paves to a better mindset!

    Well after reporting Google, I shrugged to carry on with the cooking. Hubby dear was hinting that I was way too relaxed. After all, with Konda having her holidays, I thought I could start a bit late. But in the end, it's like preparing for war! The boys had only fruits for breakfast. Their dad was enticing them with different fruit and they amicably agreed to eat them all. That reminds me that I still have a couple of those posts to shoot! God, I seriously wish I had more hours in a day, don't you think so too?

    What's life if it's not coloured with all the hue? Well, this was on top of my mind last night when I have soaked the dried peas in a bowl. I was thinking up different combinations to add to this sala.
