Fruit Custard - a simple dessert

Kallakurichi is a very small township past Ulundurpet, on the way to Salem. The place where we lived was a small village close to this township. We had to travel to the town buy all our daily needs.

Vendakkai (Bhindi / Ladies Finger) Rice

When I told Amma what I was going to pack for Ram she said: "Vendakkaya?" This is just a variation of the Kovakkai Sadham (my sister's recipe) that I have posted earlier.
