Steamed Ladies Finger:

After i tried Kugan's Steamed Ladies finger with sambal, steaming LF has become an almost everyday affair... Here are 2 variations I tried and it turned out good/...

1. wash and Slit the ladies finger(abt 10-12) lengthwise... make a filling using Everest Pav bhaji masala, lemon juice, lil oil and salt...Rub this mixture into the slits and let it sit for 15 mins. Now cut off the head and tail of the LF and place in a steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes. Switch off the steamer and let sit for 5 mins and serve...

2. wash and Slit the ladies finger(abt 10-12) lengthwise... Now cut off the head and tail of the LF and place in a steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes...
In a pan heat oil on low heat and add garlic strips from 1 large garlic... when it just starts changing color add the LF, salt, pepper, lemon juice and toss gently... Once the spices r mixed, add 1/2 tsp of sesame oil and mix. Take off flame and serve hot...

I was so surpried to see my lil one eat the 2nd version of LF like crazy... Steaming LF right does remove the sliminess to a great extent... Just make sure that the water in the steamer doesn't touch the veggies and also don't overcook the veggie...

Bansi Ravai payasam/broken Wheat payasam:
This is the same recipe I use to make broken wheat payasam... i used bansi ravai instead and it turned out to be sooooooooooo yummy...

1. Roast the bansi ravai/broken wheat(1 cup)with ghee in acooker for 2 minutes... It needn't change color...
2. Add 3 1/2 cups water and cook for 4 whistles or till well cooked.
3. Meanwhile melt 1 kg of brown sugar with 1/2 cup water just until it melts... strain and keep aside...
4. Add milk(2 to 2 1/2 lts depending on the consistency u want) to the cooked ravai and let it come to a boil... simmer for 10 minutes on very low flame... keep stirring freq...
5. Grind together 1/2 a coconut shredded and 10-12 cardamom to a paste and add to the milk-ravai mixture and let it coem to a boil... simmer for a minute...don't cook for long after adding coconut paste... switch off flame and let it cool down for 15 mins... you can add more boiled warm milk now if u feel the consistency is not right...
6. Add the jaggery syrup and mix well... add some white sugar if u feel it's not sweet enough...

Serve warm or cold...
Yummy yummmmm....

Dev,
Being online does not mean she has to be posting here. Even reading the posts will show her online. There is a list of hubbers online at the end of the index page. Or you can move the cursor to the small circle next to the iD and it will show the status!
