Mrs.Mano's Tamilnadu Delicacies - Part 2

Dear arrecipes!

Thank you very much for the feedback on ‘Tomato rice and the ‘vegetable kofta pulao’ ’. I have also posted here another variety of Tomato rice.

Have you tried the ‘Tomato dosai’ recipe of Mrs.Mallika Badrinath which I have posted earlier? That is a good recipe and it will yield good and tasty dosais. Never mind. I am here posting another recipe of tomato dosai for you!

TOMATO DOSAI-2

Ingredients:

Raw rice- 2 cups
Chopped tomato- 1 1/2 cups
Tamarind- a marble size
Red chillies- 8
Black gram- 3 tsp
Thuar dal- 3 tp
Salt
Chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves

Procedure:

Soak the rice and the dals in enough water for 1 hour. Grind them with the tomatoes, red chillies, tamarind and salt to a fine batter. Add the greens and mix well. Allow it to ferment for 5 hours. Then prepare thin dosais as usual.

Dear Suvai!

I have already posted the recipe for vegetable Briyani. It is the same in Hyderabad Vegetable Briyani. Dry fruits and nuts are added in Hyderabad briyani and that is the main difference.

Dear Mrs. Mano,
I tried the Mrs. Mallika Badrinath's version, i did not ferment it as it was mentioned that we can prepare the dosa immediately. Should we need to ferment for that version?
I will try out this version and let u know the result. Thanks for the recipe.

Dear Mrs. Mano,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I will try out the vegetable biriyani with nuts & fruits...:-)
Could you kindly post your recipes for Punjabi Khadi & Punjabi aloo....one can follow your recipes without hesitation!!...thanks Mrs.mano!!!
Regards...........suvai :-)

Dear Mrs Mano

I tried your recipe for semiya idli..it was very different and nice.

Dear Mrs Mano,
i've got some chicken meat balls. can u suggest some dishes i can make with those meat balls. thanx in advance

Dear Sangeetha!

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback on 'semiya idli'.

Dear Tharuna!

About chicken balls- I could not understand what kind of balls they are! If they are frozen ones, you can fry them and make gravy with them or with that gravy, you can prepare any briyani variety.
We can make various recipes on bread. We can make a few recipes of dosa varieties, sweets like bread rabri, shahi thukda etc.
I am posting here a few recipes on Bread for you!

BREAD AVAL UPUMA:

Ingredients:

Aval[poha]- 1 cup
Finely chopped onion- 1 cup
Finely chopped tomato- 3 cups
Minced green chillies- 1 tbsp
Chopped coriander- half cup
Mustard seeds- 1 tsp
Black gram-1 tsp
Asafoetida powder- half sp
Turmeric powder-half sp
Frozen sweet corn- half cup
Half of a small pocket of one-day old bread
Enough salt
Oil- 4 tbsp

Procedure:

Wash and soak the aval in enough water for 5 minutes and then drain the water completely.
Heat a pan and add the oil. Add the mustard seeds and when they splutter add the black gram with the asafoetida powder. Fry for a few seconds and then add the onion with the green chillies and fry them to golden brown. Then add the tomato with the turmeric powder, salt and the corn. When the tomato is mashed completely and the oil floats on top, add the aval and cook on slow fire. Mix well. Make crumbs out of the bread with the fingers and add them to the mixture. Cook on slow fire for a few seconds. Add the coriander and mix well.

Variations:
You can prepare this with 4 eggs instead of aval.

DAL BREAD:

Ingredients;

Bread slices
Green gram- 2 cups
Onion-1
Green chillies-5
Ginger-a small piece
Coriander- 2 tbsp
Mint leaves- 2 tbsp
Enough salt and oil

Procedure:

Soak the green gram for 1 hour and then grind with salt to a thin batter. Grind the remaining ingredients coarsely and mix with the batter. Dip a bread slice in the batter and immediately place it on a hot griddle. Pour some oil around it. Cook both sides to golden brown colour.

Dear Mrs. Mano,

MAde the Handi chicken and it cam out very nice. In spite of not adding any water there was a good amount of gravy. I was quite unsure of making it as I avoid dry fruits in my cooking, and I am particularly not fond of cashews. But the dish was very good and a perfect accompaniment for rotis.

Thanks yet again for a winner.

PS it was also pretty easy to make as most of your recipes are... :)
