This is a very common dish cooked in Malaysian homes normally for tea. A good dish for a rainy day.
Green Peas Porridge
1.5 cups green peas
2 tbs of glutinous rice
1 cup thick coconut milk/fresh milk
pandan leaves torn and tied (or essence)
1 cup brown sugar (or palm sugar)
500 ml water
a pinch of salt
Wash and soak green peas for 2 hours. In a pot, add green peas, water, salt, pandan leaves and a pinch of salt. Bring to boil, when green peas are 3/4 cooked, wash and drain the rice and add to the pot. (water should be added if needed as you know water will get reduced). When you see the that the rice is cooked , add sugar. Once sugar is melted, add coconut milk. Taste and add more sugar if you want it to be sweet. Serve on its own. No need accompainment for this.
If you want thick consistency, add less water and more coconut milk. AGain, all ingredients to your discretion. But the porridge must have a consistency of tomato soup.
If you are using palm sugar, cook the palm sugar, remove the dirt/stones, before adding to green peas.
You can subsitute green peas for red beans or red glutinous rice.

MALLIGAI POO IDLI
Ingredients:
1 cup raw rice
2 cups par boiled rice
1 cup urad dal if grinding in a MIXIE
( ¾ cup of urad if grinding in a GRINDER )
Method;
Wash and soak the rices .
Wash and put the urad dal in the fridge to soak.
After soaking for about 5 hours.
Grind the urad dal till it looks like soft butter.
Grind the two rice to a coarse batter.
You know little kora, kora or like sooji.
Add enough salt mix well with your hands
and let it ferment for about 6 hours.
The flour should really rise up in the container.
Get the idli maker ready.
Do not mix the flour.
Just scoop the flour from the top and pour in the idli moulds.
You will have malligai poo idli.
If you mix the flour and do you will get ordinary soft idlis.

Kuganka,thanks for all the recipes.have to try one by one.
Kuganka,winter timela idli batter-a evalo neram fermentaga vaikanum?
kugan,
maligai poo idli looks so good. also heard about the technique that if we mix the batter , the secret of soft idli is gone. i will keep this in mind and i will make idli next time.
selvi
kugan,
kids are not interested in flavoured yoghurt.
selvi
kugan,
i referred the thread to my friend, she went through it and she was tempted to eat gulab jamun immediately. she went to saravana bhavan ordered for it, she didnot like it.
so i told her i will make gulab jamun for u.
Aarthi,
take care of lil pranay, if they are not well, we r gone. coz they cannot express their feeling, so they feel irritated, they show that to us only.
donot worry, he will be alright soon.
take care
Aarthi,
u r right, ur batter is kora kora then roti will not come properly. also it should be thick.
Aarthii, thanks for your nice posts.
Please see the mail that I have written for you.
Aarthii it does not matter how many hours you keep.
The batter needs warmth to ferment.
So they will say on the oven light and keep it in the oven.
Wrap the container with thick cloth to keep warm.
Or off your stove and keep on top for the heat.
Or add about 2 tbs of the old dosa batter and mix well
I have no experince in all this.
In Malaysia, due to the heat you grind in the morning,
You can make idli in the evening.
Try the above methods and see
Take care Aarthii. Kugan98

Aarthii,
to ferment idli maavu,u can keep it inside thermocol box(igloo box). if u feel the inside of the box is not warmm enough, just keep something hot(a bowl of hot water or ur normmal meals) inside the box for sometimme & then take them out. keep the idli batter vessel & close. u can also use it as hot pack for other food stuffs that u cook everyday.
To set curd in cold places, place the container inside a hotpack. superaa set aagum.
K, burger looks verrrryyyy temmtpting...:slurp:
Aarthii & selvi, gulab jamun senju paarunga... attakasama varudhu... so delicate & juicy...
Aarthii, I would suggest u to buy a measuring spoon set. I tried it with our everyday spoon it din't comme out perfectly... mmeasuring spoon use pannina attakasama vandhichu... I only had to change the water meaurement to get a soft dough. maththadhu ellamm appadiye follow panninen.
Interesting recipe...

[tscii]Madhu, I found a oats cookie recipe in my old file.
No eggs, try and see. Thanks. Kugan98
OATS COOKIES
Ingredients
125g plain flour, sifted
150g castor sugar
1 cup rolled oats ( run it in a mixie a little)
90g desiccated coconut ( run it in a mixie little )
125g butter
1/4 cup golden syrup
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tbsp water
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease baking trays with butter.
Put flour and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add in oats and desiccated coconut. Stir the mixture so that it’s well-mixed.
Combine butter and golden syrup in a saucepan and stir over a gentle heat until butter has melted and the mixture turns smooth. Remove from the heat. Dissolve bicarbonate of soda into water, then add to the butter mixture. (mixture will foam up instantly.)
Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Take out about a tablespoon of the resulting mixture. Roll lightly into a ball and place on the prepared trays.
Flatten with a fork to create a pattern. Bake in preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown.
Leave cookies in the tray for two to three minutes before transferring them on to a wire rack to cool.
