Dev, take care, have a good rest.
I hope everything will be fine with you.
We all will pray for you.
Do not over strain yourself.
Take care. Love Kugan98

Selviem, you too have a nice rest.
I know how tired you will be.
I am sure your function was a huge success.
I do not want you to strain your self also.
This is a anbu katalai from Kugan.

dev,

take care of ur health. donot over strain urself. we will pray to almighty that everything should be fine at ur end. health is main, if u r healthy then only u can take care of ur family.

kugan here is my mom's version of AKKARAVADASAL

raw rice - 1 cup
yellow moon dhal - 1/4 cup
(dry fry dhal till nice smell comes out of it)
now add dhal and rice in a pressure pan add 2 3/4 water or 3 cups of water and allow it to cook for 2 whistles.
mash it roughly.

now in a separate pan add sugar - 1 1/4 cup
water - 3 1/2 cup and make syrup like gulab jamun, add little pachai karpuram, kesari colour to it. transfer this syrup to the cooked rice and dhal mix it nicely.

now in a pan, add 2 tsp of ghee, add cashews, grapes fry nicely and add to the rice mixture. add a pinch of salt to enhance the taste. garnish with some more ghee and serve hot.

Thanks Selviem for the akravadisal recipe.
It is almost similar to my friends.
She dry roasts the rice also.
Thanks, will try your method too.
Take care. Kugan98

[tscii]I went to a Chinese dinner, these savoury pancakes were served as a starter. Since they are non-vegetarians, egg and steamed chopped prawns were added in the savoury pancakes.
They used chopsticks to pick up the pancake and dip in the sauce.
We can use forks or even our fingers.
I have made this into a vegetarian version.



SAVOURY PAN CAKE

Ingredients:
1 cup of self rising flour
1 tbs rice flour
2 scallions cut into small rounds
2 tbs grated carrots
2 tbs capsicum chopped fine
2 tbs mushroom chopped
¼ tsp pepper powder
Salt to taste

Method:
Mix to gether the flours and salt with cold water.
The consistency should be like thin pancake batter.

Now add in the pepper powder, scallions, carrots,
capsicum, and mushroom.

Heat up a dosai kal or non stick pan.
Rub with a little oil, pour a tablespoon of the batter.
Do not disturb the batter, it will form a small round.
Cook for about 3 minutes, flip it over.
Cook on both sides until little brown.

Serve it with chillie sauce, or with the sauce given below.

Dipping Sauce:
¼ cup soy sauce
½ tbs vinegar
1 stalk scallion minced
1 pip garlic minced
½ tsp dry chillie flakes
½ tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil

Method:
Mix all the ingredients together.
