Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

K,
Udambai paarthu kollunga. All recipes look yummy. Mango sago payasam looks delicious. Want to try it out. Thanks for all the nice recipes posted. My virunthu with relatives went well. Everyone enjoyed the food and the kids and I enjoyed their company. Had left overs to last for a week. Will try out the drumstick sambar and let you know. Take care of your health.

MANGO PUDDING

Ingredients:

2 cups of ripe sweet mango slices.
¼ cup of sago
½ cup condensed milk
1 cup fresh milk
2 tbs sugar
1 tsp mango essence

Method:

Soak the sago for about 10 minutes.
Boil the sago in lots of water till cooked.
Drain the water in strainer and wash the sago under running tap water
to wash out the excess starch.

Chop the mango into small pieces. Reserve little for garnishing.
Now blend the rest of the mango pieces, with the condensed milk,
fresh milk, sugar and essence to a smooth paste.

Now transfer the blended paste to a bowl. Add in the cooked sago.
Mix well, add little more fresh milk if needed.
Now pour it into small containers, top it with the mango bits.
Chill well before serving.

Thanks Suja for your nice post.
We were all missing you. Worried as to what happened to the virunthu. Suvai and I nearly booked tickets to visit you.

If we had known you had left overs, vanthu vilunthirupom :lol:
Glad everything went on well.
Take care Suja, have a nice rest. Come to the forum when you feel free. Take care, Kugan98

Thanks tamby Jay.
The pleasure is ours. Take care, Kugan98

[tscii]We have eaten so many types of puttu.
Rice flour, atta flour, all purpose flour, and even ragi flour.
(This reminds me of sura puttu :lol: )
Try this tapioca puttu.


TAPIOCA PUTTU

Ingredients:

300 grms tapioca
¼ cup grated coconut
Sugar to taste
Pinch of salt
¼ cup grated coconut

Method:
Peel and grate the tapioca finely.
Using a muslin cloth, squeeze out all the juice.
Discard the juice.

Put the squeezed tapioca in a bowl.
Add the coconut, and the pinch of salt.
Using your fingers, mix them like breadcrumbs.

Now using a iddli thattu, spread little coconut on it.
Now put some of the tapioca mixture on it.
Close and steam for about 10 minutes.
Remove and mix the sugar, your puttu is ready.


Another way which I like is, boil the tapioca.
Mash it with a masher, add in coconut and sugar.
You have an instant snack to eat.

I used this gadget to grate the tapioca:
