Kugan's Kitchen Part 6

My dear friends, a hubber has sent me a pm requesting for crab puttu. She says she feels funny to ask in the thread as I always post vegetarian dishes.

Friends I do not mind posting non vegetarian dishes.
If I have them in the file, I will post with pictures.
If it is a new dish, I will ask around and post the recipe.
Only thing is that I would not try it out or post with pictures.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Do not despair, I will ask around my friends to see if any one has seen the show. I will find out and let you know.

Here is the recipe for crab puttu.


CRAB PUTTU

Ingredients:

500 grm crab meat ( you can buy in the supermarket)
Salt to taste
¼ tsp turmeric powder

3 medium onions chopped
3 pips garlic chopped
1 tsp ginger paste
4 green chillies, slit and cut into small pieces
3 tbs grated coconut

1 tsp aniseeds
1 tsp urad dal
1 sprig curry leaves
1 tbs lime juice or to taste
Little coriander leaves chopped
2 tbs oil
1 tbs ghee

Method:

Mix the turmeric powder and enough salt to the crab meat.

Heat a non stick wok, add in the oil and ghee .
Add in the aniseeds and urad dal.
When they splutter, add in the ginger and garlic.
Sauté well, add in the chopped onions, sauté well.
Add in the chopped green chillies and curry leaves.

Fry nicely, now add in the seasoned crab meat.
Fry turning over very quickly, do not mash the meat.
Now add in the grated coconut and keep on turning it over.
The coconut will brown here and there giving a very good aroma.

Lower the heat and sprinkle the lime juice.
Give it a final toss and dish out.
Garnish with the cut coriander leaves.
Your crab puttu is ready.

Thanks K...:)

NM, take care n get better soon!!!...:)

Naanum 2 nnaalai Suvaiyai thaan ninaichittu rundhen... :roll:

Dev, good news for you, I asked around and nobody seems to watch or know.

Finally I called my aunt and she said, she knows the recipe.
The biryani is only cooked with mutton.
The side dish is cooked with brinjals, no tamarind, lime juice and tomatoes. She also said that the dish will look dark in colour. She named the dish something which I could not catch the name.

I can cook the brinjal dish when she e-mails me.
The mutton kushka biryani I can only post the recipe.

I think I will do it once I come back from the trip.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Thanks a lot K... you r a darling!!!...;) :D My thanks to ur aunt too... :) take ur time K...

I am planning to try it with veg white biriyani... I watched the mutton kuska recipe by the chef... it was very simple... just season pattai, krambu n cardamom,bay leaves. add a bunnch each of coriander n mint leaves. add onion and gin-gar paste. saute well. Add mutton, curd, green chillies and let the mutton cook till 25% done... then add rice+water,salt...cook for 3 whistles and then on sim for 5 mins...

The procedure is similar to veg white biriyani ... This recipe is from my memory...so exact measures ellam theriyalai...

Kugan, I was away for few days--so many recipes!! Amazed by your menus for your guests, neenga syperwoman than!!!
