Madhu anneh, finally I managed to talk to the cook for the green apple recipe.
Kettavudan "chapunu poochi" just like our instant mango urukaai.
Anyway I got his recipe, tried it out and posting it in the forum.


Apuram I tried out the moor rasam and parupu thogayal.
Super poongga. My granny taught me parupu thogayal.
She had added little shallots, curry leaves and little tamarind, no coconut.
I will post the pictures of both. Try it out friends.

Dear Madhu Sree, let me show you how I make sabudana kitchadi.


SABUDANA (SAGO) KITCHADI

Ingredients:
2 cups sabudana
¼ cup green peas ( optional)
¼ cup dry roasted pea nuts (chopped roughly)
2 green chillies slit into 4 and cut across
1 big potato cut into small cubes and fried
2 tbs grated coconut

2 tbs oil
½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 tbs lime juice
Little coriander leaves chopped
Salt to taste

Method:

Wash the sabudana and soak it for 3 hours.
After 3 hours drain in a colander and keep aside.

Heat oil in a non-stick pan.
Add in the mustard seeds and cumin seedsand curry leaves.
When they crackle, add in the green chillies and green peas.
Stir for a second, add in the turmeric powder.

Now add in the soaked sabudana and salt.
Fry on a medium heat, stirring gently until the sabudana
becomes translucence. It will be about 5 to 6 minutes.

Now add in the grated coconut, fried potato cubes,
roasted peanuts, and the lime juice.
Give every thing a very gentle stir.
Remove and garnish with the coriander leaves.
Serve hot, taste will be very yummy.



This is how raw sabudana looks:

Juice / milk shake pottu kudikkalaam

[madhu]

Mango mousse (eggless) senju saapdalaam..

idhO internet-la thirudiya recipe....

Ingredients

one cake
Mango Pulp-1 1/2 cup
Condensed Milk-1/2 cup
Fresh Cream-1 cup
Mango Essence-1 tsp
Gelatin-2 tsps
(Those u r concerned about using gelatin,U can substitute same amount of pectin or 8.5 grams of agar-agar.)
Water-3 tbsps

Method
1.Grind the pulp into fine paste
2.Blend the mango pulp with condensed milk
3.Whip the cream till it reaches to stiff peak
4.Melt the gelatin with water and add it to mango pulp and mix it vigorously
5.Fold the whipped cream with the mango mix
6.Cut the cake using the mold itself,pour the mix and set it refrigerator for 2 hours

To make Mango glaze on top
Take equal amount of sugar and mango pulp and cook it until the bubbles settle down..Let it cool and then apply on top

To unmold ,slightly push the cake from the bottom and release the mousse....
Since the underneath is cake,u can easily unmold it...But if the mousse looks collapsed and not in form ,
reset the mousse ,keep the mold in freezer for 5-10 minutes...I am sure it works,After u unmold it,
place it in a tray until u need to u serve it

Thats a professional touch,keeping the mousse in cold mode for few minutes,
if your refrigerator temperature doesn't suit to set the mousse...

Method:
Combine all the ingredients, except the mango pulp.

to get a little thicker. Remove and cool completely.

Now add the mango pulp and whisk well.
If you freeze in a bowl, you can remove when it is a bit harden,

புளிக்காய்ச்சல் செய்வதை சொல்லித் தருகிறேன். Try பண்ணிப் பாருங்கள். ரொம்ப ஈஸி. கொஞ்சம் எள்ளு, கொஞ்சம் வெந்தயம், 5 காய்ந்த மிளகாய், இரண்டு ஸ்பூன் கடலைப்பருப்பு, ஒரு ஸ்பூன் கொத்தமல்லி விதை(தேவைப்பட்டால்) இவற்றை வாணலியில் கொஞ்சம் எண்ணெய் விட்டு தனித் தனியாக வறுக்கணும். அதற்கு முன் எலுமிச்சம்பழ சைஸில் புளியை எடுத்து தண்ணீரில் மூழ்கும் அளவு ஊற வைக்கணும். அதில் கொஞ்சம் பெருங்காயத்தூள், மஞ்சள் தூள் போடணும். கொஞ்சம் வேர்க்கடலையை தனியாக வறுத்து வைக்கணும்.

ஆச்சா! அடுத்து அடுப்பில் வாணலியை வைத்து இரண்டு கரண்டி நல்ல எண்ணையை ஊற்றணும். எண்ணை காய்ந்ததும் சிறிது வெந்தயம் போட்டு கிள்ளி வைத்த காய்ந்த மிளகாய் ஐந்தை அதன் தலையில் போடணும். கூடவே இரண்டு ஸ்பூன் கடலைப் பருப்பைப் போடணும். க.பருப்பு சிவந்ததும் கொஞ்சம் கறிவேப்பிலையை போட்டு புளித்தண்ணீரை வடிகட்டி ஊற்றனும்.

இடைவேளையில் அரைத்து வைத்த பொருட்களை மிக்சியில் போட்டு ஒண்ணும் பாதியுமா அரைக்கணும். (வறுத்த கடலையைத் தவிர) புளித்தண்ணீர் கொதித்து எண்ணெய் பிரிந்து வரும் போது அரைத்த பவுடரைப் போட்டு தீயை சிம்மில் வைத்து 10 நிமிடம் கொதிக்க வைக்கணும். வாசனை ஊரைக் கூட்டும். பின் வறுத்த வேர்க்கடலையைப் போட்டு, முந்திரி சிறிது வறுத்து அதையும் சேர்த்தால் சுவையான புளியோதரைக் குழம்பு ரெடி.

பின் சாதத்தை உதிரியாய் வடித்து ஆறவைத்து சிறிது நல்லெண்ணெய் ஊற்றி பின் புளியோதரைக் குழம்பை ஊற்றி கைபடாமல் சாதத்தை பக்குவமாக கிளற வேண்டும்.

அதற்குள் அக்கம் பக்கத்தில் உள்ளவர்கள் உங்கள் வீட்டு வாசலில் வந்து நிற்க ஆரம்பித்து விடுவார்கள்.

இது என் சொந்தப் பக்குவம். copy,paste பண்ணல.

செஞ்சு பார்த்துட்டு feed back கொடுங்க.

Excellent kuganji... vaasanai indu varaikkum adikkuthu. udane saappidanum pola irukuthe.

Vasu sir, I am not joking, or just telling you to please you.
My whole house was having the gama gama smell, after doing the puli kaachal.

Usually, my house would be crowded with relatives, children during the school holidays.
One relative who came to fetch his child, tasted the puli saatham, told ,me,
that he would be coming to my house next month again and wants the puli kaachal,
as well as the puli saatham.

Thanks Vasu sir, keep your recipes rolling.

Indian gooseberry recipes please :)

Do you know the English name for "Nellikai", "Naaval pazham" ?? :)

You should chew gooseberry and drink water. See how it tastes! :) If you get it from the tree yourself it tastes better. I used to do it! :lol:

Naval pazham is 'jambu' in Sanskrit and 'jambul' in English! :) jaamun is Hindi, probably a vriation of Jambu.

[kugan98]

Thanks P.S Tamby, Madhu anneh, Sudha India and Rajraj uncle for your nice post.
Ammadi! avarakkaiku imputu discussiona?
Anyway I enjoyed reading all your posts.

You are right Madhu anneh, we need a little humour in our lives.

O.K P.S Tamby, avarakkai in English is broad beans.
Biological name is Vicia faba.
Tamby, the picture I posted is called naattu avarai.
we have avarakkai that is all green in colour.

http://food.sulekha.com/dishimages/24951.jpg

P.S Tamby, I remember posting a recipe of oorukkai made of gooseberry.
Let me check and let you know.


All these remind me of the song:

and also motchai. Interesting. Kugan

Sudha: You asked me to write about our music party. I completely forgot about it! :( Here it is:

We finished dinner around 9:30 PM and started the music session. I opened with the Tamil song 'yEru mayil yEri viLaiyaadum mukam ondre'. Then our daughter in law sang. Then we let the children sing. People sang in Tamil,Sanskrit,Telugu, Kannada, MalayaLam, Hindi, Gujarati and English. There were people with origins in Tamilnadu,KeraLa, Andhra, Karnataka,Gujarat, Maharashtra,Haryana,Kashmir,UP,W.Bengal,SriLanka and Germany! :)
First half was devotional set to ragas. Second half was mostly cinema songs. I prompted singers with a few Hindi songs- Dekh Tere sansar ki haalat, Brindavan ke krishna kanhaiya, Bandh preeti phool dor,jhoome jhoome dil mera,....... By the time we finished it was 1:30 AM. We went to bed after 3 AM.

Tamil saying is 'sevikku uNavu illaadhapodhu siridhu vayitrukkum eeyappadum'. :) We reversed the order to provide energy for the singers to go for four hours or more! :lol: Aunty made idli,saambar,chutney, vegetable pulav, thayir saadham, vegetable curry and a sweet for dinner (as much as I remember). Tea after dinner. Idli saambaar was the main attraction for our North Indian friends!

You,kugan and others in this thread have a standing invitation for the party next year. Start practicing a few songs! :)
It is OK even if you sing 'karupputhaan enakku pudicha coloru'. :lol: One guest usually asks me to sing 'pambarak kaNNaale kaadhal sangathi sonnaaLe'. :)

[madhu]

I am waiting to taste aunty's ( vathiyaramma ? ) idli, sambhar.

[kugan98]

Kuganji..

Madhu anneh, here in Malaysia, mostly it is stuffed with sweet fillings.
That is coconut and brown sugar mixture.

We can make spicy fillings and stuff it with it.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

[rajraj]

I am sure all would have had a gala time.

Sudha you asked NOV anneh chickenla kutoo can be done.
I am here to help out my NOV anneh.


I did the kutoo the same way we do sorakkai kutoo.
Instead of the sorakkai, I marinated the mock chicken,
with ginger garlic paste, chillie powder and tumeric powder.
Little salt and pan fried the chicken pieces and kept aside.

Boiled pasipparupu, seasoned with onions, green chillies, curry leaves,
mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, cinnamon stick.
When the kutoo was boiling, lastly added the pan fried mock chicken.
Removed and added little lime juice and cut coriander leaves.


The colour is a little darker due to the pan fried chicken.

Dear Ramrish, nice to see your post. yes, I heard that summer is very bad.
Well our friend has given us idea as to what we can use for pop ice.
Fruit juices would be best, like watermelon, strawberry and so on.

Oh school has started in US? I thought they are still in holiday mood.
I know to be in the kitchen, when it is so warm.
You all have AC in the whole house, but in Malaysia? Imm have to struggle in the heat.
Take care Ramrish, pop in when you have the time.

Just a doubt, when making chinese chillie oil, do you fry the chillie seeds before soaking them in the oil ?

[rajraj]

paramashivaan: Here is something about you. You asked about 'naaval pazham' (jambu). But, you forgot one of your own names. Jambulingam/jambukeswaran is the name of the deity in Thiruvaanaikaaval near Srirangam/Trichy. I suggest you visit thiruvaanaikkaaval to make see for yourself ! :lol:

Dear P.S Tamby, thanks for your nice post.
We do not fry the chilli seeds when we do chilli oil.
The seeds are there for heat, what you can do is remove little of the seeds.
The seeds will be cooked when you pour the hot oil on the chilli flakes.

Try this way,

15 dry chillies, grind in a mixie to form coarse flakes.
put them in a heat resistant container with a cover.
heat olive oil or peanut oil till it starts to smoke..
let it cool for about 3 minutes or to 225 degrees F.
Pour the oil over the flakes. add 1 tbs of sesame oil.
let it cool , cover and use as you like.

Note: If you like you can add in 1 pip of crushed garlic in the container,
before adding the hot oil.
Enjoy, Kugan

NOV anneh:smokesmile::smokesmile:


NOV anneh, I used to do this for my children.
Here is the recipe:

APOM BALIK

Ingredients:
250 grms plain flour
1 tsp salt
3 tbs castor sugar
1 egg (optional )
250 ml water
1 tsp alkaline water
1 tsp fresh yeast

Fillings
100 grms roasted groundnuts, pounded a bit coarsely.
75 grms coarse sugar
50 grms melted margarine

Method:
Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl.
Add sugar, egg, yeast and water to mix.
Beat the mixture well until it forms a smooth batter.
Add alkaline water, mix, then cover and leave
Aside for 1 hour or more.
Heat a griddle pan until hot, pour a ladleful of
Batter into the pan. Smooth out evenly with the
Back of the ladle. Cover pan with a lid and cook
Until bubbles appear.
Spread a handful of groundnuts and some sugar.
Next add in 1 tbs of margarine. Cover and cook until
Apom begins to harden. Remove and fold in half.
Slice and serve.

Note: some like to add cream-style corn. I don't like it.
If you like add the corn after adding margarine.
For those who do not have the apom mould, try it in
A small non-stick pan.

Thanks Ramrish for your nice post.
Oh I see, the school starts only in August.
How does your son likes the preschool?

Ramrish, I usually make my own vathals here. I do not like it from India because of the dust there.
We have sun throughout the year here, now the heat here is unbearable.
I think I have posted few vathals and onion vadagam before.
I have to look through the forum. Nothing like the vathals that our mom makes
Thanks and take care, Kugan

excellent K... how about the smaller, crispier appam balik? :slurp:
Fasting month is here and so are the different kinds of kuih :redjump:

Thanks NOV anneh for your post and compliments.
The batter for the crispier version is also the same.
Just pour little batter to the pan, swirl pan so that the batter is coating the edge.
cook till the bottom of the apom is golden brown.
sprinkle with melted bitter and then chopped peanuts.
Fold the pancake into a half and leave to cool.
It will be crispy as soon as it gets cold.

Yes anna, too many kuihs now, but you know most of them have eggs in them.
So I make different every two days or so to satisfy my children.
Thanks and take care, Kugan

why is this kitchen so quiet? :roll:

here is an easy and quick recipe, using the microwave:

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IMHWwGTS2uQ/TbC34YKwKUI/AAAAAAAAAU4/TnmNbRLWkXg/s400/Carrot%2BHalwa.jpg

Grate two cups of carrot and add two tablespoons of ghee. Microwave for two mins. Add half cup evaporated milk to this and microwave for eight mins, stirring every now and then. Cook till milk is absorbed and the ghee starts separating. Add one cup (or less, if you prefer) sugar and some cardomon powder, together with almond slice. Microwave for a further one minute or so, until you get right consistency. Your carrot halwa is now ready!
