K, the traditional version of dal makhni is very rich coz of the cream... You can find a low fat version of dal makhni on Tarla Dalal which is equally tasty... Here is the link to the recipe for those interested...

Take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Madhu Sree, thanks for your posting.
Do not be scared, the urad dal will not be soggy.
You can see in the picture.
Just remember to wash nicely the dals,
before soaking. So you need not wash again.
The urad dal would have swelled a bit.
If you wash after soaking, the skin will come out.
Try and see very tasty dish.
Thanks, Kugan98

Dear friends Navarathiri is just around the corner.
I do not have a kolu, but we observe the nine days with prayers. I normally make different kind of sundal each day.
Those who do not observe this festival, at least have prayers with your children on Saraswathi pooja day.
May the Goddess Bless All on earth.
Thanks, Kugan98


The Navarathiri i Festival 2010 is celebrated from 8th October to 16th October 2010. Navarathiri , , is a famous Hindu festival celebrated for nine nights and ten days, to worship the nine forms of Goddess Shakti
. Navrathiri festival days are divided into sets of three days to worship three different aspects of Mother Goddess.

The first three days is dedicated to Goddess Durga or Kali Maa in order to destroy all our impurities. The next three days is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi Devi, the bestower of spiritual wealth. And the final three days Goddess Saraswathi is worshipped – Goddess Saraswathi is the goddess of knowledge, music and art.

-----------------------------

chenaikilangu - 250 gms , clean the skin and grate it

onion - 1 cup finely chopped
garlic - 6 cloves finely chopped
green chillies - 2 finely chopped
red chilly powder - 1 tsp
coriander powder - 1 1/2 tsp
turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
curry leaves - reqd
salt - reqd

Dear friends, crispy onion rings are a favourite
fast food item. We can do it in our house.
This is a long outstanding recipe.
Sorry Rose. Kugan98


CRISPY ONION RINGS

Ingredients:
2 large yellow sweet onions
75 grms all purpose flour.
2 tbs corn flour
½ tsp baking powder
A pinch of chillie powder
½ tsp sugar
120 ml milk
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Oil for frying.

1 EGG FOR NON_VEGETRIANS

Method:
Cut the onions into circular slices, about 1 cm thick.
Now separate them into rings and put them in a tray.

Now in a bowl, add in the flour, corn flour, chillie powder,
Sugar, salt and pepper powder.
Use a whisk and mix all the ingredient well.

IF USING EGG, WHISK IT WITH THE MILK

Other wise, now add the milk to the dry ingredients.
Whisk it nicely, so that there are no lumps.
The consistency of the batter will be lightly thicker
than our dosai batter.

Heat the oil in a wok.
To check that the oil is hot enough, drop little batter
into the oil. The oil should fry it lightly and take time
to brown it. This way the onion will be cooked through,
and the onion rings will be super crispy

Now gently dip some of the onion into the batter and coat well.
Now you place them into the hot oil using a fork.
Let them cook in small batches, so that they won’t stick together.
When they are fried on one side, turn them on the other side.
It will take about 3 minutes to brown the onion rings.

When they lightly golden, remove and place them on
a tray lined with paper towels to drain.

You can sprinkle little fine salt mixed with pepper
powder before serving.

wow !! looks good. :slurp:

[rose75]

kugan I have seen the four angled bean.
Never thought of cooking it, because I do not know.
Nice simple recipe. Is there a method to cook Indian style?
Please post your pictures of sundal.
Rose

[dev]

rose, this kozhi avarai(four angled bean) can be cooked like any other poriyal. Mrs.Mano has a recipe on her blog if u r interested...
http://manoskitchen.blogspot.com/search?q=kozhi+avarai

[dev]

K, chilly sauce recipe seems very easy... I guess it'll be a nice dip for other steamed vegs as well...

[rose75]

Dev thanks for the link.
I do not like to add dals in my stir fry cooking.
I tried Kugan's version, very simple and tasty.
May be I will try to cook, just as we do poriyals
for other veges. Now I have another vege in my
my home cooking.
Rose.

[kugan98]

Dev, thanks for your post. Try the chillie sauce. In Malaysia they use this sauce for chicken rice.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Thanks Rose for your post. I will post a simple poriyal made with the four angled bean. Thanks, take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Dear friends,sundals can be made from motchai, green gram dal, channa dal, peanut, cow gram, dried green peas, white chick peas, black chick peas, and even corn.

there is a basic method to do the sundal.
Other than that, there are spicy recipes with additionl ingredients.

First I will give the simple method:

Basic Recipe:

1 cup of white chick peas, soak for 8 hours.
1 sprig curry leaves
2 long dry red chillies cut into small pieces.
1 tbs of coconut scrappings
little lime juice or little grated mango (optional)

1 tsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
little asafoetida
salt to taste.

Method:

Pressure cook the chick peas with little salt. drain the water.
Heat the oil in a wok, add in the mustard seeds, when it splutters, add in the urad dal, curry leaves and the asafoetida powder., stir fry for a second. add in the boiled chick peas and the coconut scrappings. Stir once more and remove. you can add the grated mango or the lime juice, mix and serve.


Note: If making green gram dal, you need to soak only 2 hours, then boil it in a pot, not pressure cooker.

If doing with channa dal or moong dal, you need not soak it. wash and boil and see that they are not over cooked.

I will post later, the recipes for spicy sundals.

Kugan many many thanks for the recipes.
Glad that you are posting all types of sundal. Simple and spicy.

Do you do anything sweet for the prayers for this festival?

[kugan98]

Thanks for your nice post Gulabjamun. Glad that you too want to celebrate all festivals. This way our children too will know about our festivals.

I usually make sweet puttu, stuffed sweet puttu, aval puttu.

Ingredients:

2 cups steamed flour
1 cup of grated coconut
½ cup sugar
½ tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp of ghee
A pinch of salt.

Roasted cashew nuts and raisins are optional

Method:
Put the flour in a big basin.
Add salt and sprinkle little warm water.
Sprinkle the warm water, little by little.
Mix it like fine breadcrumbs, using your fingers.

Now add the cardamom powder, and the grated coconut.
Mix again nicely. Steam the flour using a steamer, or a putu pot.
Steam the flour for about 20 minutes.
Remove and immediately add in the ghee and sugar.
Also add the nuts and raisins if using.
Mix nicely again. The sugar will melt in the heat.


Note: If you mix the sugar in the flour before steaming,
the flour will not be cooked well.

Those who like a light brown colour,
Make a one string syrup with ½ cup of jiggery.
Mix it in the steamed putu.

[kugan98]

Appada, Suvai saved me from going to the jungle :lol:

This vadai is little like the vadai we do for Ajaneyar. Of course the taste is very different. This is a crispy vadai.
Very very tasty . You can fry and keep for days.

Thanks Suvai for the awesome recipe. Kugan98
Note: Kai valikkuthu, aatukkal use panninathele

[lakme]

Kugan, mochai sundal looks super! one question: is it necessary to peel the skin of the mochai if you use the dried one? I'm going to make this today with dried pattani.
Thanks.

[kugan98]

No Lakme, you need not peel the skin.
It tastes good with the skin.
There are certain recipes, where you have to peel the skin.
See that it is not cooked very mushy.
This is a very old recipe of my grandmother.
Thanks for your compliments, Take care, Kugan98

Aarthii, thanks again for your nice words.
Hope your mushroom gravy turns out well.

I am happy that I was of help to you.

You have to pat the dough thin, like tattai.
The vadai is crispy. It has to be crispy for longer keeping.
Ah, Sucheendram Temple, old memories are kindled.
This vadai is something like that only.
Ingredients and taste differs.
I will look into my old file for the recipe.

[kugan98]

[tscii]Making this sharbeth brings back old sweet memories.
My granny had a fan made of this root.
She would sprinkle little water and fan herself.
The air will have a sweet smell of the root.
She also had a very big earthen pot for drinking water.
(No filters that time) :lol:
She will crush a little root and put it in the pot. The drinking water will have the flavor of the root.
The roots have cooling effects.


NANARI ROOT SHARBETH

Ingredients:

100 grms of the nanari root ( veti ver )
½ litre of water
1 litre of warm water
2 kg sugar
2 tbs jaggery ( optional

Method:
Wash and clean the roots well.
Slightly crush the roots with a heavy object.
In a pot add the crushed roots and the warm water.
Keep over night. The water would have changed colour little.

The next day, add the ½ litre of water to the soaked roots.
Now you will have 1 ½ litres of water with the roots.
Now boil the water with the roots for about ½ an hour on sim.
Remove and keep aside.


Now in a different pot, add the sugar.
Add little water and keep on stirring.
The sugar syrup should have the consistency of honey.
Now strain the water boiled with the roots and add it to the syrup.
Give a good stir, keep aside to cool.

You can boil the jaiggery and add to the syrup,
Jaggery is added to get the hue to the syrup.

To prepare one glass of juice:
Put 1 tbs of syrup in a glass.
Add 1 tsp of lime juice.
Pour iced cold water.
Stir the contents and serve chilled.

NOV anneh. Thanumalayan temple is in the same place.
Listen to the music creating pillars. Put your ears on the pillar and you can hear the music.

The Lord Hanuman , made from single stone is about 22 feet.
This was the tallest last time.

Now in Tindivanam, near Pondicherry, they have tallest, single granite stone Hanuman which is 36 feet.

Do not miss the sun rise and sun set in Kanya Kumari.
Also vist the Vivekananda Rock.
They have a meditation hall, Vivekanda Mandapam known as Dhyana Mandapam. Visitors can sit and relax and meditae over here. The atmosphere here is very calm and seren.
I love to meditate there.


If you have the time also visit Sri Puram Golden Temple,
Which is in Tirumalaikodi in Vellor.
Its about 150km west of Chennai.
The Sripuram is the biggest structure made out of gold. Even the Satari, a crown with feet of the lord engraved on it, is made of solid gold weighing 1 kg.


Only suggestions anna. Have a happy holiday.

Suvai, here is the recipe for the Anjineyar vadai.


ANJINEYAR VADA MAALAI

Ingredients:

1 cup of whole black urad dal, soaked for 20 minutes.
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp black pepper corns
Salt to taste
1 tbs rice flour

Method:
Drain the black urad dal, add in the cumin seeds,
black pepper corns, and salt to the soaked dal.
Leave this mixture for about 15 minutes.

Now grind the urad dal mixture without adding water.
The paste will be a little coarse. Add in the rice flour.
Mix nicely.

Now heat the oil in a wok.
Take a plastic sheet and oil it a little.
Now take a small ball of the batter.
Now flatten the batter, slowly with your fingers.
The vadai should be quite thin. Make a hole in the middle.

Keep the flame very low, slip the vadais into the oil.
Keep flipping the vadais till it gets a brown colour.
It takes time to cook, since the flame is low.
Only then you will get crispy vadais.

Remove and put it on a paper towel.
Take a string and make the vadais into a maalai.
Your vada maalai is ready for neivedhiyam.


The whole black urad dal is ground without removing the skin.



Thanks to the net for the picture.

Dear Friends, I have not posted sundal pictures for thursday and friday.

I did the green peas, or pattani sundal on thursday.
On friday I did the sundal with horsegram or kollu.
I tried the method given by Ksen long agao in the SOS thread.
Thanks Ksen for the recipe. Kugan98

The Recipe By Ksen.

Soak channa overnight and pressure cook with salt. Grind a small piece ginger and two/three green chillies coarsely. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard, perungayam, curry leaves, then the cooked channa (without water). Mix, add the ground paste, mix well and serve. If you want, add some lemon juice, after removing from fire. Dried peas, channa dhal, green gram - all taste good this way.

Hi Kugan98,

Thanks for all your lovely recipies. Mango pudding looks mouth watering .. would like to try. Can you tell me what is "nata de coco"?

[dev]

Roshan, nata de coco is a jelly like thing made from coconut water/coconut(not sure which one)... I've seen it in SG,MY but not in India... It usually comes in bottles, canned and even in huge tubs... It's very tasty to eat the sweetened ones as such...

Thanks Dev, for your nice post.

My aunt will make a thengai paal kulambu.
I remember her powdering some dal to add to her kulambu.
I will find out soon and post. Thanks, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Welcome to Kugan's kitchen Roshan.
Its a great honour to have you all in our thread.
Sorry I forgot to post the picture of nata de coco.
You can even do the pudding without the nata de coco.
You can use mango cubes instead.
Those who are not vegetarians can use 3 tsp of gelatine in stead of agar agar powder.


THANKS DEV, for the explanation.


Nata de coco is a chewy, translucent, jelly-like food product produced by the fermentation of coconut water, which gels through the production of microbial cellulose by Acetobacter xylinus. Nata de coco is most commonly sweetened as a candy or dessert, and can accompany many things including drinks, ice cream, puddings and fruit mixes. The product originates from the Philippines.

[rajraj]

Dev,kugan,Roshan:

nata in Spanish means cream. It must be coconut cream. Why they would use a Spanish name in Malaysia and Singapore is puzzling! :)

[Roshan]

Thanks Dev, K and Rajraj uncle for the info. From the picture K has posted I could recollect that I have seen this in bufets in Bangkok hotels I have stayed. But I have never tried thinking it is somethign non veg :oops: ( I am a non-veg but it's quite risky having non-veg food in Bangkok and I mostly remain vegetarian when I am there.)

I think I can try the pudding without this item. K, please confirm.

[rose75]

Kugan Kugan you are simply amazing.
Such a super spread, your family must be very proud of you.
I have not thought in this line to entertain guests.
How many types of chutneys, wow.
Now you have given me an idea as to how to entertain guests.
Your sundals are all mouthwatering. What are the sweet offerings you make for the nine days.
My mom told me that on the 10th day too, you have to make something sweet to pray to bid goodbye to the Gods.

Roshan, Kugan has said that you can try the pudding without the nata de coco. You can use small mango cubes instead.
Rose

[rajraj]

I think I can try the pudding without this item. K, please confirm.

Roshan,
I think there is some confusion about nata de coco. I did a search and found out that chopped tender coconut is also known as nata de coco. You may use tender coconut with coconut water in the pudding. Nata de coco products come from Indonesia and China ! :)

If you want a guinea pig I will be happy to be one ! :lol:

Thanks uncle - now I remember something else. In bangkok once I thought of having tender coconut water and bought one from the street vendor and took it to the hotel to find some kinda jelly inside the shell. I tried a small piece and it was sweet but I did not like the taste. I think it is made out of both tender coconut and coconut water. That's how it looked like and tasted like.


If you want a guinea pig I will be happy to be one ! :lol:

:)

[kugan98]

Uncle Rajraj and Roshan, the Nata de coco what we get in Malaysia is a chewy, translucent, jelly-like substance.
It is not coconut pieces. Its same like the picture that I posted.
Please forget the nata de coco and use mango pieces.
Try out and let us know the feed back.
Thanks uncle and Roshan, Take care, kugan98

[kugan98]

Dev, my aunty confirmed that she adds some dal powders, otherwise it will be like sothi, watery.
She said that it will have the smell of spices.
She is a bit busy with prayers. Recipe will come soon.

I know you are a very well versed cook.
Happy to be of little help to you.

Good morning Suvai, I remember my grandma cooking the uppadam. She will fry rice and powder it to be added to the kulambu. I will get the exact measurement from my aunt.

Ungga beetroot cutlet too is waiting.
All will come Suvai. Try the paal poli.

Thanks and take care, Kugan98

[selvieam]

kugan,
paal poli is tempting us. tried spring rolls in the weekend, i didnot get anything to taste. kids liked it very much. thanks a lot

[gulabjamun]

Kugan I tried your paal poli at once.
So simple to make and so tasty.

In our house they said it should be called paal puri :lol:
Kugan you have given me an idea of how to make soft puris.
In future I will be making puris with this measurements.
They turn out soft and white in colour.
Danks, danks for the nice recipe.

[Madhu Sree]

K, paal poli recipe super... senju paakren :)

[dev]

K, paal puriku puri crispy-aa irukanuma(like the puris used for chaats) or should the puris be soft?... How long should we soak the puris/... will the puri be soft or crisp while serving?...

[rose75]

Kugan did your masala upuma, and kalkandu vadai for a potluck. It was a super duper hit.
It was something unusual from the normal food people bring.
I felt very proud when every one praised my cooking.
Thanks kugan all the praises are yours.
God bless you for giving us so many mouthwatering recipes. Hope you continue to give :lol: Rose

[Aarthii]

kuganka,paal poli looks great.

Kuganka tried ur ingi thayir recipe.I found the smell of ginger a lot in the dish while having it along with sambar rice.

i found it to be lil spicy too.can u tell me where i might have went wrong?

[dev]

K, 2 non veg recipe requests...:oops:

[kugan98]

Madhu, thanks for your nice post. Try the paal poli when you have the time. Thanks and take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Thanks Selviem for your nice post and the feed back.
I am glad that your children enjoyed the spring rolls. Try the paal poli when time permits. Thanks and take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Dear Dev, the poli will be like our puris only.
It will puff up when you fry. It will not be very crisp.

You soak the fried polis in the milk for about 5 minutes only.
Then you remove them to a plate if you are not serving at once. You see the polis will become soggy.

While serving place two polis in a plate, pour the thick milk over and garnish with the nuts.

The paal poli tastes best if the milk is reduced to half while boiling. Thanks and take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Gulabjamun, you can call it paal puri too.
Thats fast to try out so soon. Anyway it is a very simple sweet. Yes you can do puris with the same measurement of flour. They will turn out well. Happy trying. Take care, Kugan98

[kugan98]

Rose, thanks for your nice feed back. It made me very happy.
Please try out other recipes too and give us the feed back.
Thanks and take care, Kugan98

Aarthii, if u find the taste and smell of ginger to be too strong, you can saute the ginger pieces in a few drops of oil for few mins... that should redduce the sharpness of the ginger... Try n let us know if it works...:D
