Palakura pappu


Note
  • I read in Vahchef’s site by readers that palak & tomato should not be cooked together.I am not sure about the reason.So if u want to skip tomat,add thick tamarind extract only after cooking the dal palak mixture.
  • If using tomato,do not chop it and add to dal.Dal won’t be cooked well n mushy.So add it as whole tomato.
  • Make sure the dal is mashed well after cooking else the mixture will look watery and separate.
  • You can replace toor dal with moong dal too.
  • This palakura pappu can be done in another way.ie.Heat oil in a cooker.Temper all the spices given above and then add onions,green chillies.Saute them for a while and now add the dal and washed palak leaves.Pressure cook for one whistle.

Parotta Recipe-How To Make Kerala Malabar Parotta(With Video)

How to make parotta
Every South Indian especially people in Tamil nadu and Kerala loves Parota.But most of us stay away from eating as well as making parotta at home just by thinking about maida & the quantity of oil used in it.Even i am a big lover of parota right from my childhood.Be it Kerala Malabar parotta or Tamil nadu road side parota,i just love it like anything.Before marriage,my dad used to buy this with salna(The most popular side dish for parotta) at least twice in a month from a small hotel nearby my house.On those days,I never mind about calories,oil etc etc and i was looking lean in spite of eating all these junk stuffs.But now,after marriage the tables turned.I have become much more health conscious & became a picky eater too.Even then i put on so much of weight which is still a mysteryThinking.So i keep restricting myself from buying frozen parottas as well as trying at home.My friends and readers who had tried my vegetable salna recipe have asked me several times whether i have a parota recipe in my blog.Whenever i get a query like this,i really feel bad to say “No”.So i was thinking to make this parotta post somehow without worrying about oil.But to my rescue,i found this awesome recipe in Asiya’s blog”Samaithu asathalam”.I was super excited when she made it with less oil when compared to the other recipes i had come across.Thanks to Asiya omar for sharing this wonderful recipe with a clear video in Tamil.The best things about this recipe is,it is eggless,dough doesn’t need much soaking time. All it needs is just 15 minutes & moreover there is no need to give oil bath to your parotaDancing.Oil is used only for greasing.It comes out super flaky and tastes absolutely soft when eaten hot.It also stays good n soft for an hour.So this recipe is a perfect choice for people who are calorie conscious but craving to eat parotta at home.It is much much better than store bought hydrogenated frozen ones.You can make it easily for weekend breakfast..Give a try and let me know friends.With the help of my MIL,i have uploaded a video on “How to roll parotta”.Hope u all find it useful !

Parotta recipe
Once u make this parotta successfully,u can try many varieties like kothu parotta,chilli parotta,Muttai parotta/Egg parotta etc.Ok,Lets see how to make this flaky parotta at homeHappy.
Check out the super hit recipe of my blog, vegetable salna – The best side dish for parotta !

Cuisine: Indian
Category: Breakfast/Dinner
Serves: 3 nos
Prep time: 20 Minutes
Cook time: 3 Minutes
Total time: 23 Minutes


INGREDIENTS
1 cup = 200 ml
  • All purpose flour/Maida - 1 cup
  • Salt - as needed
  • Sugar - 1/4 tsp
  • Cooking oil - 1 tbsp + 1 tbsp ( for greasing)
  • Water - nearly 1/2 cup ( 1-2 tbsp lesser)
METHOD

  • In a wide bowl,take the maida,salt,sugar and 1tbsp of oil.Mix well to spread the oil in the flour.Now add water little by little and make a slightly sticky dough( Not too sticky).Knead well for 5 minutes.Grease ur hands with a drop of oil while kneading.Apply 1.5 tsp of oil all over the dough and keep it covered for 15 minutes.
Parotta recipe
  • After 15 minutes,dough would be soft and non-sticky.Take the dough and make 3 golf sized balls.
Parotta recipe
  • Take one ball and flatten it as much as possible using a rolling pin on a greased wide board or kitchen counter.The dough should be elastic and spread it as thin & transparent as possible.Apply little oil all over the parotta while rolling.Do it whenever needed.( Never use maida for dusting.Only oil should be used)
Parotta recipe
  • Now pull one edge,move slightly forward and fold it.Do it like saree pleats.Please refer video for this.After making pleats,just stretch it & roll them.If u find it difficult to do this,u can cut the rolled parota into thin strips and place it one over the other.Roll it and make parottas.
Parotta recipe
  • After rolling and folding,give a resting time of 5 minutes.In the mean time,u can fold the other two balls.Now take the rolled ball,grease it with oil and roll it using a rolling pin.Do not use ur hands to flatten it.Layers may suppress.Do not roll it too thin.Grease with oil whenever needed.Roll it thick like stuffed paratha because thick parotta tastes soft.Thin ones will become crispy while cooking.
Parotta recipe
  • Heat an iron dosa pan ( It works best) and put the parota.When u put it,the parota may shrink.So spread it using your hands on the tawa carefully.Now drizzle 1/2 tsp of oil around the parotta.Keep the flame medium.Keep flipping and pressing the parotta with dosa flipper on both sides till u see the golden brown spots.Take care,flame should be medium and parotta should cook slowly.
Parotta recipe
  • Remove the parotta to the kitchen counter or the rolling board and using your hands,just press the sides forcefully when the parotas are hot.Do it like clapping the hands by keeping the parottas in between.This is the most important step to make it flaky.It helps to bring the layers out and make it soft.Stack the cooked parota in a hot box/casserole.Serve hot with Parota kurma or salna.
Parotta recipe

Note
  • While making the dough,add water carefully.Do not make a too sticky dough because u may need to use more oil while rolling.
  • Resting time of 15 minutes is needed for the dough.
  • U should roll and stretch the dough as much as possible to make soft parotta else it will turn hard.
  • After rolling and folding,give a resting time of 5 minutes.In the mean time,u can fold the other two balls.
  • Cook the parotta only in medium flame and not in high flame.cook it patiently by drizzling some oil around the parotta.

South Indian-Style Quinoa with Potato, Pumpkin and Tamarind

quinoa, potato and pumpkin

I've been eating quinoa longer than most people I know knew how to pronounce it. Now that it's trendy, it's more expensive, but I still enjoy eating and sharing ideas for it. It really is almost the perfect grain for both taste and nutrition.

And while quinoa is not a staple of south Indian cooking, that's no reason not to pair its light nutty taste with the hot and tangy tamarind, coconut and spice flavors of the region. I will try almost anything with south Indian ingredients, for that matter! This dish combines quinoa, pumpkin, potato and peas with some of the classic south Indian flavors as well as some not-so-classic ingredients for a rich, hearty, zesty and flavorful side dish that nourishes not only the body but delights the soul.

Quinoa:
  • 1 cup uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Spice blend:
  • 2 tablespoons skinned urad dal, rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons toor dal, rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
Vegetables:
  • 4 to 6 sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes, drained and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons tamarind pulp, soaked in 1/3 cup hot water for 40 minutes
  • 2 tablespoons coconut or other oil
  • 1 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • small handful of dried curry leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon asafetida
  • 1 large potato, cubed
  • 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin purée
  • 2/3 cup fresh or frozen and defrosted peas
  • 2 to 3 green or red chilies, seeded and minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste
  • juice from 1 lemon (3 tablespoons)
Instructions:
  • Rinse the quinoa and soak in the water for 8 hours or overnight. Add the salt and turmeric and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed — about 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes and then fluff with a fork. Set aside.

  • Meanwhile, soak the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for 30 to 40 minutes, then drain and chop and set aside. At the same time, soak the tamarind pulp in 1/3 cup hot water for 30 to 40 minutes. Drain, reserving the soaking water and squeezing out as much liquid from the pulp as possible. Set aside.

  • To prepare the spice blend, dry roast the dals, coriander seeds and peppercorns in an unoiled pan over medium heat until they darken a a few shades — about 3 minutes. Let cool and then grind to a powder with a spice blender or in a mortar and pestle. Set aside.

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves. Fry, stirring often, until the mustard seeds turn grey and begin to splutter and pop. Toss in the asafetida, stir once, and then add the potatoes, stirring well to combine. Cover and cook, stirring often and adding a few tablespoons of water as necessary if the potatoes stick, for roughly 12 minutes or until the potatoes begin to soften.

  • Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, pumpkin purée, peas, chilies, red pepper, coconut, tamarind liquid, cayenne and spice blend until well combined. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, adding more water as necessary, until the vegetables are tender — about 10 minutes.

  • Stir in the salt, lemon juice, and quinoa. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover and heat for another 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes, fluff, and serve. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.

Varagu idli recipe

Each and every millet has its own taste & health benefits.But i love varagu/Kodo millet(Kodra/Koden in Hindi,Harka in Kannada,Koovaragu in Malayalam & Arikelu in Telugu) among all because it helps to lose weight,controls diabetes,reduces joint pains and much more.So i keep trying one or the other varagu recipes in my kitchen at least once in a week.After making thinai idli & Ragi idli successfully,i wanted to try some more idli,dosa recipes using millets.I tried kuthiravali idli but it was an utter flop.Idli was flat,sticky and too soft.I should make some improvements in the recipe and try again.So this time i prepared Varagu idli following my mixie idli recipe.It came out very well.I did not use rice here.Still my idlis were firm,soft,spongy and dosas were crispy as well.So this is completely a rice-free idli.The flavor of dosas were awesome.I just loved it.My in-laws are here with me.They too liked this varagarisi idli,dosa very much and my MIL told that she will be making it very often after going to salem.I was very happy to hear this feedback from them.Friends,try this healthy millet idli and include it in your routine breakfast/dinner.Its sure a very healthy replacement for our regular rice idli.Very soon,i will share easy varagu upma recipe.
