This is a sincere attempt to write about the

traditional Tamil Brahmins (Tam-Brahm) recipes.
This newsletter will contain the recipes of the food
that are typically cooked in a Tamil Brahmin
community (Iyer & Iyengar or any Brahmin
community).
There is an old saying that goes like this You are
what you eat and Brahmin Cuisine follows the
concept of shaping the personality, mood and mind
of the family members.

Unsweetened milk khoa(optional)
Grate 4 to 5 med size carrots using a grater preferably instead of a mixie. Heat a

occassionally to avoid burning. Cook only on low to med flame.
Once carrots absorb all the milk add sugar about one and half small tumbler
measure or adjust according to sweet. You can also add unsweetened milk khoa if
you feel you have added excess sugar. Unsweetened khoa gives a more milky taste
to halwa so can be added optionally. Keep stirring until the mixtures boils and

garam masala( and a spoon of ghee if adding to rice )and switch off. Add chopped
coriander.
This can be used as a filling between bread and toasted as a sandwich. The same
can be used to mix with plain rice to make a quick carrot rice or with lemon rice to
enhance taste. Fry finely chopped tomatoes with onions for mixing with rice if you
like tomatoes. Enjoy!
