Hi,

Could somebody please give me the recipe for "Fried Icecream with caramel sauce"? It came on Mangaiyar Choice on Sun TV 3-4 weeks ago. The lady made the caramel sauce using Naattu chakkarai.

Thanks in advance.

Sukanya.

This week, here a couple of recipes from SUN as well as from myself. Anyways, from SUN, here it is...

Potato masala roast:

Potato 3 to 4
coconut milk 1/4 cup
onion 1/2 cup
tomato 2 to 3
coconut oil 4 tsp or lesser than that
red chillies 5
haldi, salt
urad dal 1 tbsp
green chillies 2
garlic 5 flakes
cinnamon powder 1/2 tsp
curry leaves

Heat oil, add cinnamon, urad dal, chillies saute. Once done, add cut onion, flakes, curry leaves saute more. Add tomato pieces, cooked potato, haldi & salt, mix well.

If you want the potato to be cooked directly, then, close and cook on low fire. Add half of the coconut milk, mix well and cook for some time.

While adding the remaining milk, keep the fire in high. After pouring, sim the gas and dont close the lid. Let them boil so that the spices will distribute evenly throughout the potatoes. Check for salt.

Omitting or reducing chillies is upto you.

It is a good combination for the forthcoming kitchidi recipe which tried.

Masala kitchdi(second version):

Just follow the procedure regarding cooking which have mentioned here already.

Rice 1 cup
moong dal & gram dal(channa dal) 1 cup together
peanut 1/4 cup
onion 1
tomato 1
potato 1 (can include other veggies)
garlic 5 flakes
green peas 1/2 cup
jeera 1 tsp
bay leaf, cinnamon, cloves 2 each
garam masala 1 tsp
haldi, ginger
green chillies 5
sambar powder 1/2 tsp
oil & salt.

Heat oil and jeera, other raw spices, fry well. Now, add cut onion, ginger, chillies, garlic, soaked peas, potato, tomato with other powders, mix well. Add more water than the regular amount with haldi & salt.

Before that, as usual, soak rice and dal together 1 hr. before and also peanut separately for 1/2 hr. atleast. Mix all of them together and cook for 2 whistles and sim for 20 mts.

Points from me:

Though it is a combination of dal and rice, if you taste the leftover kitchdi, it wont be the same. So, have to add more veggies especially tomato & spices to get a good flavor & taste.

A couple of recipes from myself:

Punjabi pakoda:

Besan flour 1 cup
red chili powder 1 tsp
haldi, salt depends
potato 1 to 2 cooked and mashed
onion 1
kesari powder a pinch(optl.)
water to prepare the batter.

Cut onion into two halves and then, cut into slices(medium size) and keep aside.

Meanwhile, mix flour with the other ingredients and add mashed potato, sliced onion and add water accordingly. The consistency should be like appam or bajji batter.

Now, take a small laddle and pour onto the hot oil. Instead of pouring straightly, you can just drag in the oil and that is how, had it at my friend's place.

This pakoda is so soft unlike our South Indian pakoda and the taste is really great.

Vazhaipoo(banana flower) vada:

banana flower-quarter portion from the whole
channa dal 1 cup
thoor dal 1 handful
ginger 1 piece small
garlic 1 flakes optl.
red chillies 2 to 3
saunf 1 tsp
jeera 1/2 tsp
salt.

Clean the banana flower and cut them coarsely. Take a quarter cup of butter milk and put the cleaned cut flower with haldi. Cook them. Drain the butter milk and wash with water once again.

Meanwhile, soak dals for 2 hrs and drain the water. Grind dals with other ingredients coarsely and before grinding, as usual, take a handful of dhals separately. Once done, keep aside and put the cooked flower and run for one time(coarse texture is fine).

Mix dals, ground flower & whole dals and prepare vada. Deep fry in oil and wait till it turns into golden brown color.
