Hello All,

I tried cranberry chutney yday.. for having with dosai.. Cranberry i think is tamarind in pink color.. pulippu ennnavo tamarind ku equal a irunduchu, with pinkish color... I found it good only but my husband didnt like it (of course, amma panra dishes tavara veru edhu pannalum it will be pushed to doubtful or dislike q )
Here is what i tried (from vah reh vah)

add oil, cumin, ginger and garlic chopped n saute.. add green chillies, cranberries and keep sauteing till soft. Athuku apparam add cilantro, salt, jaggery and blend it nicely. Add talippu items.

And enjoy!!

(of course, amma panra dishes tavara veru edhu pannalum it will be pushed to doubtful or dislike q )
To the above:
ha ha... adhu enavo nijam dan priya... To make men accept the taste when something tried differently is like puli vaal pudikra madhiri

For me this recipe looks for like the inji puli

Authentic Sura puttu:

Here is how it is done
Method:
1/2 kg Sura(Shark)
Turmeric powder - 1tsp
pepper powder - 2 tsp
Salt
Green chillies - 4
Garlic pods - 8
Ginger - Big piece
Onion - 1
Egg - 1

To temper:
Mustard seeds
Curry leaves
urad dhal

Method:
1) Heat water in a pan when it is hot, wash the sura with clean water and put it into the hot water. Allow the hot water to form bubbles, the color of the water needs to turn white that is when you should remove the Sura
2) Remove and keep aside to cool down
3) Take a bowl, mix turmeric powder, pepper powder and salt with your hand. Tear the shark into small pieces and mix it along with the spice mix.
4) Now heat oil in a kadai, add the tempering ingredients, followed by finely chopped garlic, ginger and green chillies.
5) Add the onion and when the onion turns pink to brown, add in the Sura(mixed with spices)
6) Allow sura puttu to cook for a while - say 10 mins.
7) Break open a egg and beat it in a bowl.
8) Pour the egg into the sura puttu and give it a nice stir.
9)Once the egg cooks along with Sura puttu, add some coriander leaves and serve hot with Rasam rice or any gravy of your choice.

My dear frienz, how are you guys?
First my apologies for coming to KK's thread sooo late.
I am sure Kugan would be cross with me for this.
Actually I was out of town, due to my work.
Just back, and it is freezing cold here.

Anyway I am very thankful to Dev, Priyasri, Rose,

Thanks Dev, Nithisri, for your nice recipes.
