    There is nothing like a challenge that motivates me. As if life is not hectic already, there is another thing to add spice to the whole thing. After having so many cookbooks, filed paper clippings, I thought I should browse through them more than anything else. My collection is about 3 huge files, two drawers full of cookbooks, and about 4 handwritten dairies.
    I am lucky in having friends, who not only motivate me, appreciate my madness, but join my ventures as well. So when I announced this challenge, I had a ready group who were as enthusiastic as I was on this theme.
    The theme is very simple. At least for the initial stage, we are only going to cook offline content and stuff the net with more information.
    So it can be cookbooks, paper clippings, handwritten recipes, recipes passed from generations, anything and everything, the only condition being it's not available online.

    Of course, there is a chance that some content might be available, but finding that and cross-checking is not the objective of this event. We simply go by what we have stored
    over years!

    In fact, some wanted to know if they can do recipes showed in the Cookery shows, of course, many cookery shows have their content online. I guess we can go by the intent than actual content here.

    Anyway, for the first edition, I had planned for something different. But with things not working as planned, I had to end up making this simple curry for lunch.

    For the first edition, this is a typical side dish made with Tamarind rice, from a paper clipping dated a decade back.

    Urullai Curry | Potato Curry

    Potato - 5 medium
    Onion - 1 big
    Curry leaves handful
    Hing a pinch
    Mustard Seeds, Urad dal - 1 tsp
    Tomato, chopped - 1/2 cup
    Tamarind extract - 2 tbsp
    Salt to taste
    Oil - 2 tsp
    Red chili powder - 3/4 tsp
    Coriander powder - 3/4 tsp
    Turmeric powder a pinch

    How to make Urullai curry

    Wash and slash the potatoes, MW for 10 mins. Soak and peel the skin off.

    In a nonstick pan, add oil, temper with curry leaves, mustard seeds, urad dal, hing, saute well.

    Then add finely chopped onion julienne, cook till the onions turn colour. Add the tomato pieces, salt, and turmeric. Simmer and cook till the tomato is cooked well and soft.

    Now add the tamarind extract, red chili powder, coriander powder, continue cooking for 5 mins.

    Add the cooked potatoes, mash well. Add 1/2 water and bring to boil.

    Switch off and remove when the potato is mixed well.

      Sometimes simple dishes taste divine and am sure this is one of such dishes. Curry must have an additional tanginess from both the tomatoes & tamarind extract and must have tasted very good.
