Dear Suvai!

I do not know the recipe for shiramurtham which is also named as paladisil.
I have also searched for you but in vien.
Do forgive me for my belated reply. I am fully committed with so many commitments as well as worklaods.

This week I have prepared this tasty Soya pulao for Selvi and her beloved children. I am posting that recipe here.

SOYA PULAO:

Ingredients:

Small Soya balls- 2 ½ cups
Basmati rice- 4 ½ cups
Onion-6
Chopped coriander- 1 cup
Chopped mint leaves- 1 cup
Oil- 6 tbsp
Ghee- half cup
Salt to taste
Thick coconut milk-2 cups
Fried cashew nuts- half cup

Grind the following to a coarse paste:

Green chillies-8, shredded ginger- 2 tbsp, garlic flakes-2 tbsp, cinnamon-2 inches, fennel seeds- 2 tsp, cardamom-4,
cloves-4

Grind the following ingredients to a fine paste:

Shredded coconut- half cup, cashew nuts-10, poppy seeds- 2 tsp, fennel seeds- 1 tsp, curd- 1 tbsp

Procedure:

Soak the soya balls in hot water for half an hour, then squeeze out the water from the soya balls and then again soak the balls in cold water.
Again squeeze out the water from the soya balls.
Now the soya balls are ready for cooking.
Slice three onions thinly.
Heat a kadai and pour 2 tbsp of oil and 2 tsp of ghee.
Add the sliced onion and fry them to golden brown.
Then add the half of the ground coarse paste and fry them on slow fire until the oil floats on surface.
Then add the soya balls with enough salt and cook for a few minutes until the masala is absorbed by the balls.
Add the finely ground paste and cook for some minutes until the gravy is thickened.
Heat a vessel and pour the remaining oil and half of the ghee.
Slice the remaining onion and add to the ghee.
Fry them to golden brown.
Add the remaining paste and fry them finely.
Now add the greens and fry them for a few seconds.
Add the coconut milk and the soaked rice.
Cook on medium fire.
When the rice is half cooked, add the salt and mix well.
When the rice is almost cooked and all the water is evaporated, spread the prepared soya gravy evenly on top of the rice, and keep it in Dum’ in a gas oven in 160 deg.C for 20 minutes.
Mix well once after 10 minutes and pour the remaining ghee around the corners.
Decorate with fried cashew nuts.
Now the soya balls pulao is ready!
