Thanks

Here is the recipe for

Cut chocolates:

Besan flour 1 cup
sugar 4 cups
ghee 1 cup
cocoa powder 1/2 cup
milk 1 cup

Add besan flour, cocoa, sugar to a vessel and mix well with hand. Pour milk and melted ghee and now, switch on the stove. Stir them evenly.

Grease ghee on a tray and when it comes like a mysore pak i.e. moving away from the edges and forms like a ball, remove and pour it on the tray. When cold, cut into pieces.

Some tips:

Before adding ghee to the mixture, stir by laddle well to make sure that the sugar dissolves atleast 3/4th. Becoz, when I made this sweet, just followed what they said and finally, felt some sugar in mouth.

You will find a different brown color and that is the sign of final stage.

You can give a break while stirring, but after bubbles has started coming, keep on stirring without any break.

The right consistency to find out is at the sides and on the center, lots of kind of white bubbles will come. And, if you stir on the sides, it will come without sticking to the vessel(similar to mysore pak) and so many bubbles will start coming than the initial stage.

Or, simply follow what I told for making mysore pak. Try to make a ball from the gravy and when it forms like a ball, wait for 2 to 3 mts and switch off the gas.

================

will post couple of more chocolates recipes shortly.

Just an information to everyone-tried wheat flour murukku(thenkuzhal) from arusuvai website and it tasted great.

Those who have a craving for savories, can definitely try and worth to make it.

Thanks for listening.

One more recipe from SUN...

Cheese apple rice:

Brown rice 1 cup
onion 1/2 cup
milk 1 cup
nutmeg powder a bit
grated cheese 1 tbsp
apple 1
butter 2 tbsp
mustard powder 1 tbsp
pepper powder 1 tbsp
salt.

Heat butter add onion saute well. Add rice, grated apple, salt cook. Pour enough water and cook. Finally, when done, add milk, all powders , mix well. When it is slightly thicker, add cheese and cook till it melts well.

My variation:

Indeed, it is an excellent food for dieting people if you just take out the butter & cheese.

Since I dont take brown rice, substituted with wheat pasta!!

Cook pasta as usual in a large qty of water with a tsp of oil and salt. Wash in the running water and keep aside.

Instead of butter, add oil, and substitute pasta in the place of brown rice. When comes to milk, just reduce to 1/2 cup and proceed. Serve hot without cheese.

While serving kids, put cheese and cook and it is totally a different item for sure.

Hi R,
I made "Garbanzo" Snack yesterday ..I added chat masala and tomato chilli sauce instead of pepper and it was Yummy.This is a very easy and tasty recipe.

Thanx,
GVB

Here is a couple of recipes which I tried and found totally different.

Javarisi chithranam:

Big sago (preferable) small size is also ok 1 cup
raw rice 1 cup
sliced cauliflower 1 cup
carrot 100 g
green peas 50 g
onion 1 big
potato 1 small
green chillies 2
coconut or coconut milk 1/4 cup
dhania powder 1 tsp
chilli powder 1/2 tsp
pepper 4
haldi, curry leaves
mustard 1/4 tsp
salt.

Grate carrot and onion. cut potato into small pieces.

Wash rice & sago soak them for 20 mts. Drain water and keep aside.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a pan, add mustard and once it splutters, add onion & remaining veggies with salt & other powders, mix well. Grind curry leaves, pepper & green chillies into a coarse paste and mix with the above veggie mixture. Fry well and add coconut milk and pour this mixture to the rice sago mixture.

cook them as usual for 2 whistles and if you want the grains to be soft, add 1 to 2 cups of water in extra. Dont forget to add salt.

This itself will serve a good lunch and no need to go for spicy side dish. Simple raitha or even puliyitta keerai will do.

Vazhakkai adai:

Plantain 2
besan flour 2 cups
rice flour 2 cups
soda salt a pinch
green chillies 4
coriander leaves small 1 bunch
onion 2
ginger a small piece
salt

Cut onion, chillies, ginger, leaves finely and fry them in oil. Once it is fried well, keep aside.

Peel the skin of veggie, cook nicely. Mix besan, rice flour, soda, salt and add the mashed veggie, chilli powder to taste and knead into a dough.

You can cook in two ways.

1) Either, directly, pat it like adai; grease a non stick pan, put the adai, spread some onion mixture on the top, again, put the veggie dough mixture and apply oil all over the dough and close with a lid, cook.

2) Or, Take thenkuzhal achu, fill up the dough and squeeze directly on the greased non stick pan without leaving any gap.

Put the onion mixture on the top and again, press the thenkzuhal achu above the onion mixture. Apply oil on the edges.

Now, come to the cooking part..

Keep the fire in sim. Close the adai mixture on the tava with a lid. Once it is cooked well on one side, change the side with a thin spatula to the other side without getting disturbed carefully.

Again, close it with a lid and cook. If necessary, pour oil on the edges. Once done, keep aside and goes with tomato chutney.
