Back to the blogger world after a gap of 14 days. O My gosh! I just couldnt imagine how those days passed by doing nothing. Missed blogging and cooking.Yes! didnt do any cooking due to chicken pox. But my mind was always thinking about cooking and cooking only. Now back with a bang and a hot dish"Milagai bajji!" the name always reminds me of the exhibitions held in Chennai and  the cool cool Kodaikanal. What a feiry dish! The long chillies always fascinate me n s our favorite despite its hotness.I never miss buying them when they are available in the market.The chilli used here is pakoda chilli which is long and pale or dark green in colour. I usually slit them and remove their seeds to reduce the hotness. Use a big kadai to fry them. I always have mayo as side dish. Mayo n chilli fritters is the best combo the hotness in chilli compliments with the sweetness in chilli.
