Kugan's Kitchen Part 7

[meerra]

Thanks Meera for the Italian recipe. Aunty makes Lasagna when the boys visit us. May be, I can ask her to write the recipe down to be posted here!

Aunty also makes something like a salad with cranberry during Thanksgiving holidays. I will ask her!

kugan calls me uncle. That means you are my pEthi. Welcome to my pEthi club!

My Dearest Tata, I love to have a tata.
Please I would be very honoured to try out Lasagna recipe.
Also the salad, I make stupid chutney during the Thanksgiving.
Now my new version is so much better.
Thanks again Tata, love Meerra

O.K Guys, inspired by Priya's cranberry episode, I tried my hands at cranberry chutney.
It turned out awesome, children spread it on bread like jam.
Try it out frienz. Meerra


CRANBERRY CHUTNEY

Ingredients:

300 grms dried cranberries
2 cups of water

1 tbs oil
½ tsp mustard seeds
1 red onion chopped fine
1 tbs chillie powder more or less
¼ cup water
1 tbs vinegar
Salt to taste

Method:

Cook the dried cranberries in 2 cups of water on medium flame.
Cook till the fruits become soft and mushy.
The consistency would be like jam.
Use a spoon to smash the cooked cranberries.
It will be little chunky here and there. Keep aside.

Heat the oil in a non – stick pan, add in the mustard seeds.
Let it splutter, add in the chopped onions and sauté well.
Now add in the chillie powder, one quick stir.
Quickly pour the ½ cup of water. (the chillie should not burn )

Add in the cooked cranberries and little salt and simmer over low heat.
Let it cook to a thick mass, add in the vinegar for tartness.
No need to add sugar as the dried cranberries, have enough sugar.
Remove once it reaches the chutney consistency.
