Vendhaya Manga / Mendhiya Manga
Vendhaya Mangai / Mendhiya Mangai always reminds me of my father. Whenever my mom prepared a full fledged meal at our home, he never failed to make this small addition. Within few seconds, he would do some magic silently and a full cup of Vendhaya mangai would be ready. After having a wonderful meal at home, we always enjoyed our curd rice with his Vendhaya Mangai at the end. The recipe is also pretty simple.
