Kannan anneh, I salute to your Tamil pattru.

Oh chinna vengaya sambar and muruval dosai, besh besh, romba nana irukkum.

My children like muruval ghee dosai. I have to keep on doing the dosai, without an end.

Kannan anneh, we live in a multi racial country. The children school hours are very long.
In their canteen, it would be very difficult to get vegetarian food.
All they get is fried rice, fried noodles, nasi lemak (coconut rice with non vege sambal) and so on.

So I prepare what ever they get in the canteen, but vegetarian version.
Not like my days, curd rice, lemon rice, all packed in lunch boxes.

Breakfast has to be cereals, bread, sandwiches and so on for school days.
weekends it is normally, dosai idli, puttu, iddiappam, paal appam, puri and so on.


Dinner for the elders is always, dosai chapathi, iddli and so on.
I also make western dishes, like pizza, pasta, casseroles and things during the holidays.

Thanks and take care, Kugan

Dear Rose, I got your very hot pm.
I am very very sorry, I got carried away by the bee hoon episode that I completely forgot about your request.
Very very sorry. Kugan.


Well actually, this recipe also belongs to my great grandmother.
It seems those olden days they did not have lot of things to make all the palagarams.
This was very simple with very few ingredients. My grandmother uses coconut milk instead of water.
Try it out Rose, Kugan

ROASTED RICE PIDI KOLUKATTAI

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cups raw rice
2 tsp ghee
¾ cup jiggery
A pinch of salt
2 ¾ cups water

2 tbs lightly roasted grated coconut
A pinch of cardamom powder
1 tbs ghee

Method:

Dry roast the raw rice, till lightly brown. Keep aside to cool.
Grind it to a coarse powder. Roast the ground mixture in 2 tsp of ghee for 2 minutes.
Keep aside.

In a pot, add in the 2 ¾ cups of water. Add also the jiggery. Cook for a minute.
Once the jiggery is dissolved, remove and filter the mixture.
Pour the filtered jiggery into a clean pot and allow to boil.

When the mixture boils vigorously, slow the fire, add the rice mixture and keep stirring.
Now close with a tight lid and cook for about 5 minutes.
Remove the lid, the rice mixture would have cooked soft.
Add in the coconut, cardamom powder and the ghee.

Keep stirring, and in few minutes, the mixture will leave the sides of the pan.
Remove and cool the mixture, grease your hands with little ghee and make them into pidi kolukattai. Now steam the kolukattais for about 10 minutes. Remove and serve.
You can even shape them into rounds.

K

Thanks for the Bee Hoon Mee Goreng coconut rice and pidi kozhukatai recipes. appa so soon so many recipes. ur version of coconut rice sounds more authentic. will definitely try.


yes K I was so tired after the virundu. actually after sundays lunch I thought people will go and finally I can sleep and have some rest. They said they like the vegetarian food so much and wanted to stay until dinner so that they can have the food one more time. So took them to park in the evening came back home reheated the stuffs and after dinner they all left. Dinnerku desert pathala adisayama all dishes came out so good without any sodapals. ellam unga tips thaan remember to deal with crowd.

Sunday night as well as monday whole day was sleeping . avlo tired. I do not know how you do this so often.

Oh good idea not boil the bee hoon throughly as instructed in the packed. iniki night unga recipe thaan.

Sure I will try to get the puliserry recipe from her it was so simple though. The payaru recipe was simple and I do it often.

Payaru SUndal

200 gms of sprouted moong bean

3/4 th cup grated coconut

2 tea spoon coconut oil

1 tea spoon ghee

4 red chillies

mustard seeds and curry leaves for seasoning

boil the sprouted moon bean with very little water and required salt to the right consistency. In pressure cooker means one whistle and immediately remove it from stove so that it doesnt become mashy. season with coconut oil mustard and curry leaves to it add 4 red chillies and also the grated coconut fry until the coconut turns pink. to this add the boiled payaru without any water. stir for 2 mins and then sprinkle the ghee on top. goes well with sevai and puttu or as it is.
