Lassi time!

There is a jaatre that happens in Puttur every year. It goes on for ten days in the month of April. You should visit the place to savor a slice of culture, heritage and religion. The added attraction this year was the 70 ft tall Brahma-ratha that was presented to the temple by the very famous Muthappa Rai.
And as it is in all fairs, this one too is a place from where you can get back stuff for your home, especially the kitchen. Jyothi got back a chapathi rolling pin and plate from the fair. But my favorite is the manual blender that she bought during her visit. Perfect for the summer, now lassi is just a few turns of the blender away!
Price: Rs 80. Easy to use, easy to clean :).

P.S. Did you know that in Punjab, Lassi is made in washing machines?!

Pepper mill

Latest acquisition for the kitchen: A pepper mill. Have always wanted one ever since i watched Sanjeev Kapoor on Khana Khazana use it. This was easily some 7-8 years back. Never found one in Mysore. After moving here, i did spot one in UB City at Good Earth. But it seemed too expensive to fit into the kitchen :)
We finally saw one at Lifestyle in Mantri Mall. It seemed like a steal compared to Good Earth. We now use only freshly ground pepper for all our dishes- right out of the pepper mill.


Cost of the pepper mill: Rs.145
The joy of finding something that one's looked for so long: Priceless!
