Palakkad recipes

hello sowmya,

tried ur pachadi, kalan and morekutan. all of them were greatly enjoyed! esp.kalan was simply superb

for pachadi i used the seedless cucumber variety and the taste was so good without the bitterness. thanks a lot and i hope u had an enjoyable onam.

had some queries.in morekutan,when u blend the coconut+condiment paste in the vegs, do u need to cook the vegs in the paste for some time and then pour the buttermilk ?
i poured the buttermilk right away and felt the rawness of the paste slightly then i kept stirring and it got cooked in the buttermilk itself. end result was tasty but i thot i will learn the right procedure.sorry to bother u !

regards,
rain

yes..That's the way I prepare morekutan or alternatively you can also mix the ground paste with buttermik and then add the buttermilk to the vegs.
My preference is the first method.

Hi all
Created an index for easy reference as per Dev's suggestion and only when I began creating the same I realised how actively you people have participated in this thread.
It was a nice experience to categorise each contributor's recipes and I was amazed to see how actively pearl,kavitha ravi,a_gopinathan,shoba,di,R and CI had shared their recipes with all of us with great enthusiasm and interest.Looking forward to see this thread of ours grow with more and more recipes.. and continued support from all.
