Sudha, thanks for the instant mulagai puli recipe.
Can make it instantly, when we do not have anything
for thottukka :lol: Thats what Suvai will tell.
I am sure it will be great with curd rice.
Dev, enjoy.
Kugan98
Dev, I will post the cake recipe and the chillie recipe soon.
I do not make the cakes anymore, because of the eggs :(
Lot of difference without the egg and brandy.
Take care, Kugan98
Thanks for the link.

[tscii]A friend of mine called me, saying that she needs to give urad dal kanji for her daughter. Since she hates it, how can she give her in different form. The girl is 12 years old :D
So I made this sweet kali for her, which she enjoyed. Kugan98

Ingredients:
1 cup roasted finely ground urad dal
1 cup sugar
1 ½ cups coconut milk
6 cashew nuts
10 raisins
2 tbs ghee
A pinch of cardamom powder

Roast the cashew and raisins in ghee, keep aside.
In a pot heat the coconut milk with the sugar,
cardamom powder and salt.
Let it come to a slow boil, low the flame.
Add in the urad dal flour, use a whisk,
and stir nicely, see that no lumps are formed.
Add in the ghee and the roasted nuts and raisins.
Stir nicely and transfer to a bowl.

[tscii]Dev, here is the rich fruit cake for you. Kugan98
RICH FRUIT CAKE
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup butter at room temperature
½ cup light brown sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
¾ cup ground almonds
3 large eggs at room temperature
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp orange zest
½ cup of rum or brandy
1 tsp of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and dry ginger powder
100 grms mixed nuts chopped,hazel, walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashew
300 grms mixed, raisins, sultanas, currants, cherries, chopped
600 grms mixed dried fruits, apricots, prunes, candied peels, etc chopped
Method:
Grease a non-stick 20cm spring form pan.
Line the bottom and sides with buttered parchment paper.
See that the paper extends about 2 inches above the pan.
Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.
Mix the 600 grms, and 300 grms fruits in ½ cup of brandy or rum.
Keep this at room temperature over night. You do this previous night.
Sieve the flour mixed with the baking powder, salt and mixed spices.
Use a large bowl and whisk the butter first.
Now add in the 2 sugars and whisk until fluffy.
Now add in the eggs one by one and whisk well.
Add in zest of orange and lemon. Fold in the ground almonds.
Now add in the nuts, and all the soaked fruits.
Fold in slowly. Now add in the sieved flour little by little,
and fold this into the cake batter.
Spoon this mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Reduce the oven temperature to 150 degrees C.
Continue to bake for another 1 hour or until the skewer comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven, place on a wire rack to cool.
Pierce the cake with thoothpick and pour about 2 tbs of brandy on top and let it soak. This will enhance the flavour and give longer shelf life.
Before storing, cover the cake completely with wax paper first, then with aluminium foil and keep in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Some people will make caramel, to add to the cake to get a rich brown colour.

Dev, try the simple dish and see.
Suja, how are you?
Nice to see you in the thread.
Try the simple recipes when you have the time.
Suvai, the urad dal kali will be soft.
If you less the milk a little, the consistency will be
like kesari. Not chewy, try and see.
Thanks, Kugan98
K,
Can we try the fruit cake without the rum and alcohol? What are the other substitutes for that. Kindly reply.
Suja
Rich fruit cake ----> Calorie rich fruit cake? :)
Suvai, let me ask my Kerala friend about the curry and post the recipe for you.
I still owe you the plantain cutlet recipe.
Also I still owe Dev, a recipe. All coming soon.
