Coconut Powder

COCONUT POWDER

Hi all,

I had around 4 coconuts at home after the pooja. I didnt know what to do. SO came up with this new idea of making the coconut powder which could be used in various sweet dishes and even in regular cooking.

I used microwave to make this recipe. This was very simple. My microwave's max high volts is 800 Watts. So timing would differ accordingly to every microwave

Ingredients:
coconut - 4 (grated)


Method:
- place the coconut in a microwave safe bowl
- keep it in high and cook for 4 mins
- do stir in between every 1 min
- allow that to cool
- and then grind that in a mixer grinder (Dry) until its a fine powder.

Broken Wheat Kanji

BROKEN WHEAT KANJI

Hi All,

After getting discharged from the hospital, Iam being experimented with different varities of kanji by my mom. As I started feeling more hungry, everyday food is accompanied by either a soup of kanji before or after meals.

One way thats good too as it satisfies my hunger and a new healthy recipe to learn everyday some how.

Here is the recipe...

Ingredients:
broken wheat - 1/4 cup
water - 4 cups
salt to taste
milk - 1 cup

Method:
- in a pressure pan add water, salt and the broken wheat

Sago Kanji

SAGO KANJI

HI all,

This is a porridge recipe which anyone can consume. This is mainly given for feeding mothers as Sagu improves and helps in lactating.

Now a days Iam been given real good soups and kanji as a evening snack. This was really refreshing to have with rusk. I didnt add pepper as with salt itself the recipe was too good.

I had diabetics during preganancy so I've been asked to control the intake of carbohydrates stuff... so didnt add sugar. If you have a sweet tooth you can substitute salt and pepper with sugar and again its gona taste heavenly.

Ingredients:
sagu - 1/4 cup (washed and soaked for 2 - 3 hrs)
salt to taste
milk - 1/4 cup
water - 3 cups
pepper - to taste (optional)




Method:
- take 2 tsp of sago and leave it aside
- grind the remaing soaked sago into a fine paste and add water to grind if necessary
- in a pan add water and add the ground paste
- add the whole soaked sago and salt
- allow that to cook
- this would take atleast 3 - 4 mins
- now add milk when the mixture is cooked and when you are about to remove them from fire
- serve warm and add pepper if needed.

Note:
you can also grind the remaining whole sago also to a fine paste. But some how I liked the whole sago coming in between the smooth kanji in between. Its again optional.

Badusha

BADHUSHA

HI all,

This recipe was taken from Padma's recipe. I was following her blog for quite some time and wanted to try this recipe for long.

As I normally do, I just prepared only half the quantity of the original quantity mentioned by her.

Here.. I have used Ghee instead of butter. The original recipe asks for butter. And the original recipe says that the fried badusha should be left inside the syrup for just 2 - 3 mins. But I felt that was not soaked enough, I allowed them to sit for 1 - 2 hrs time. By them the badusha's were soft and tasted awesome. I didnt get the pic to look the same way of how padma's pics looks.. yet.. I am still in a doubt if this was what that has to be done. But anyways let me tell you what I did here!!!!!!

Anyways if the recipe didnt come out well.. Please forgive me as I also tried this recipe for the first time. Though the taste was good.. Iam still not happy about the softness of the badusha's


Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
Maida - 1 cup
baking soda - 3/8th tsp
salt - a pinch
ghee - 1/2 cup
oil - to deep fry
sugar - 1 cup
water - 1 cup
cardamom seeds - powdered - 1/2 tsp


Method:
- seive salt, maida, baking soda twice
- to that add the melted ghee and mix well.
- that will resemble bread crumbs
- to that now add water little by little to make a soft dough
- leave that to rest for 20 mins
- in another vessel add water and sugar and bring it to a boil
- when the sugar boils to a thick syrup consistancy add the cardamom powder and leave the syrup to simmer
- in another pan add oil and allow that to become hot
- meanwhile make balls from the dough
- flatten that and press then in the center
- deep fry the flattened balls in oil in medium flame and make sure its cooked and doesnt get browned
- now let the fried badusha cool for a min or two
- drop them in the hot sugar syrup and allow that to soak in the syrup until the syrup is absorbed
- serve.

curd - 1 cup
tomatoes - 2 (chopped)
onions - 2 (chopped)
ginger - 2" (cubed)
garlic - 10 - 12 pods


Oil to temper
corriander leaves (chopped) - to garnish
Method:
- marinate the mutton with all the other ingredients and leave it in the fridge overnight
- next day add the mutton in a pressure cooker and add some water and cook till they are tender
- in a pan add oil
- add the tomato, onions and ginger garlic paste till the oil oozes out
- add the cooked mutton and allow that to fry and cook till the moisture is fully absorbed
- when they are dry add the corriander leaves and garnish

Gobi Parata (Cauliflower Parata)

GOBI PARATA
(Cauliflower Parata)


HI all,

This is the first time Iam making this parata. I was little worried will I be able to make the parata well.. O gods grace, I was indeed able to.

I seriously wonder how people make round chappathi's and parata? Iam not able to. How ever I try.!!!!! Thats the saddest part. Yet.. The parata in the pic is kindda round and ppl as I have already mentioned, now you all know that Iam weak in making the parata's or chappathis round.. so please dont mind.

Easy recipe.. And first time ever I could get the paratas too well without the stuffing coming out. Thank god.

Another confusion is how ppl grate cauliflower? I did try but all in vain. So I used a different method:
Here is the recipe:

(this is the gobi parata stuffing... was able to make 10 paratas)


Ingredients:
Chappathi dough - for 10 paratas
oil - to drizzle

To make the stuffing:
gobi - washed, cleaned and cut into florets - 1 cup
corriander leaves - 1/4 cup - finely chopped
salt to taste
jeera - 1/2 tsp
ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
green chillies - 2 (finely chopped)



Method:
- put the cauliflower florets in a dry mixer grinder and whisk for 2 - 3 times. Iam sure by now it looks and gives a grated consistancy
- add the salt to the gobi and mix well
- allow that to sit for 10 mins
- now squeeze out the water as more the moisture the parata's are not gonna come out well!!!!!!
- now add the ginger garlic paste, jeera, corriander leaves and green chillis
- mix well
- now make balls out of the chappathi dough and roll it into a 2 - 3 inch chappathi
- stuff the gobi mixture and close the dough well and making sure that the dough seals the stuffing well.
- then roll it into thin parata's.
- by looking at the parata one can make out if the stuffing has spread evenly.
- heat a tava
- add the parata and drizzle some oil on the top
- when the colour changes flip the parata and drizzle some oil and cook till done.
- serve hot


Serving:
- the best combination with parata's are curd or onion raita... O my fav. But my Hubby dear is a bit different.. So prepared chicken Vindaloo recipe for the same.

Chicken Vindaloo

CHICKEN VINDALOO

HI all,

Today I have prepared a new dish which was my all time favourite. I saw a video and did this today. This recipe needs an overnight marination and goes well with rice and roti's. I served this with Gobi Parata today and which I will be posting in a little while.

Hmm.. its a spicy chicken dish and simple to make, if you have already marinated this. The original recipe calls in to cook the chicken on the stove and I didnt do that. Iam sure most of us dont want to do that either as its gonna consume time. RIGHT?

So I cooked this in the pressure pan and let me run you all through the recipe.

Ingredients:
chicken - 1/2 kg
tomato - 2 (finely chopped)
potato - 2 (chopped into cubes)
onions - 2 (finely chopped)
green chillies - 2 - 3 (finely chopped)
white vinegar - enough to grind a paste
ginger garlic paste - 2 tsp
bay leaves - 2
cloves - 4
cinnamon - 1" stick
cardamom - 4
mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp
pepper - 1 tsp
red chilli powder - 1 tsp
salt to taste
corriander powder - 1 tsp
cumin powder - 1 tsp
turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
oil - 2 - 3 tsp
Method:
- grind the green chillies, ginger garlic paste, salt, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, pepper, red chilli powder, corriander powder, cumin powder and turmeric powder to a fine paste by adding a little vinegar.
- make sure that the paste is fine and thick
- now marinate the chicken with this paste and leave it in the fridge overnight. (not in the freezer).
- the next day remove the chicken from the fridge
- in a pressure pan add oil
- add the onions and fry till they are golden brown
- add the tomatoes and potatoes and fry till the tomatoes are little mushy
- now add the marinated chicken and fry for 2 - 3 mins
- add less 1/4 cup of water and pressure cook till done

Iam sure this recipe needs a bit of garnishing. That was not mentioned in the video. Kindly garnish with chopped corriander. I didnt garnish as I was in a hurry burry to take a snap and get ready to go to office... And you all can very well see the steam which is coming out of the dish..

Vegetable Steamer

VEGETABLE STEAMER
HI all,

Just wanted to post this new kitchen item I purchased two weeks back. This is a vegetable steamer.

The first pic is how the steamer looks exactly.

The second pic is after opening the steamer. We can place this steamer on a pressure cooker or a vessel / a pan and pour some water and cook .
The same can be used to make dumplings ......


I saw this steamer first in Manjula's kitchen videos and was really eager to know if we get this in Bangalore. I didnt know how my hubby knew that I wanted this and got this as a gift. And he told that there was only two peices and he purchased both of them. I gave off the other one to his friend who has a 8 months old baby.

From now on will be posting a few more of my kitchen collections...

Chennai Fried Chicken

CHENNAI FRIED CHICKEN
HI all,

I got this recipe from Vahrehvah.com website. This dish was my all time favourite and I didnt know how to prepare this. I came across his video few days back and wanted to cook this dish very badly.

Today prepared this dish. But the original recipe says that the chicken has to be soaked in the marination for 6 - 7 hours. But when we are in a hurry we can soak the same in the warm water for hrs.

As I work, I knew that I will not be having any time to defreeze the chicken and then soak for 2 hrs also. So I had marinated the same in the night and left in the fridge (not the freezer). Do not keep in the fridge for more than a day. And if you feel that you cannot prepare the next day, just shift the marinated chicken to the freezer.

The original recipe doenst have lemon extract added to the marination while I did. Still it came out well. crispy and tasty... Of course Juicy.

He calls this recipe as CHENNAI CHUKKA CHICKEN.. But Iam just going to call this as Fried chicken........

Ingredients:
chicken - 1/2 kg ( i just used leg pieces)
oil to fry
maida - 1/2 cup
bread crumbs - 1/4 cup
salt to taste

To marinate:
ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
salt to taste
pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
red chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
corriander leaves - 1 tsp (finely chopped)
little water

To make the coating:
egg - 1
red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
lemon - 1/2
corriander leaves - 1 tsp (finely chopped)
curry leaves - 5 - 6 (finely choppped)

Method:
- mix all the ingredients under "to marinate" and marinate the chicken overnight in the fridge
- the next day remove it from the fridge and drain the liquid from the chicken slices
- mix all the ingredients under "to make the coating".
- mix little salt, maida and bread crumbs together
- dip the chicken into the coating mixture and roll on the maida - bread crumbs mixture.
