Kugan's Kitchen Part 7

[FernGraebn]

Hello suja - thanks for your reply, maybe i will try a smaaalll batch to get a hang of it and then post my queries later.

Hello Kugan akka - have you tried bombay chutney, they make it with kadala maavu? I tried few recipes online, but didn't get it good.. if you have any idea can you please tell me..

Thanks,
Priyasri

Hi K and Priyasri,
You have to par boil the rice for just a few mins (less than five) and then add to the chicken gravy. Seal tightly with the foil lid and bake for 25 mins at 350 C. The chicken gravy has to be prepared separately. Remove from oven and after 5-10 mins open the lid and mix gently. This method comes in handy when you have to cook in large quantity with smaller paathirams! Hope this helps. Happy cooking.

Regards,
Suja

i make kadalai maavu chutney (bombay chutney) like this

onion big -- 1 thinly sliced
green chilly - 3 slit
tomato - i medium size, chopped
carrot - 1 small , finely chopped
turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
salt - reqd
besan - 1 1/2 tblsp
coriander leaves

grinding:
=====
coconut - 4 tblsp
ginger - 1"

grind this like chutney.

tadka:
====

oil - 2 tsp
rai - 1tsp
urad dhal - 1 tsp

in a kadai, add oil, then add tadka items, then add sliced onions fry for 2 to 3 mins. then add green chilly.
after a minute, add tomato just stir it for 2 mins, when it is slightly cooked add carrots, fry for 2 mins, then add turmeric powder,
salt and 1 cup of water cover and cook till carrot is 3/4th done. then add coconut paste allow it to boil for 5 mins, then make a batter
with besan without any lumps, add to the gravy and stir, after one boil, garnish with coriander leaves and serve.

instead of besan we can grind coconut with pottukadalai. this is also good.

this curry will goes well with puri, chapathi, idli and dosa.
