    [tscii]Hey guys im back with two other recipes. Interesting ones .


    1.Vazhakai and pattani Cutlet

    Ingredients.
    Vazhakai – 2
    Green peas -1/2 cup
    Coconut scrapings- less than ¼ cup
    Green Chillies paste – 2 tbsp ( made out of 4 green chillies)
    Kothamali
    Lime juice
    Raisins – 6
    Cashews -4
    Ghee
    Arrow root ( I got this from the Chinese grocery store. It is called the Chinese potato or tse goo)
    High medicinal value.Kedaikalana you can skip this ingedrient, but I would highly recommend adding this
    Salt to taste
    Sugar to taste


    Method.
    1.Boil the vazhakai and peas in the pressure cooker . Peel the vazhakai once it is boiled and then mash both of them.
    2. Add salt and chopped arrow root to the mixture and make a smooth dough.
    3.To this dough add coconut scrapping, kothamali, chilli paste, lime juice, little bit of sugar
    4.Roast cashews and raisins in ghee and add to the above.
    5. Make the dough into small balls and flatten them as we do for vadai.
    6.Deep fry in the oil.

    PS: You can also use potatoes instead of pattani.I personally prefer the one with peas.

    Serve the cutlet with tomato cutney or pudhina chutney. Alternatively the above cutlet could be used to make another recipe called “Vazhakai cutlet in coconut sauce”

    2.Vazhaikai cutlet in coconut sauce.

    Ingredients
    Vazhaikai and pattani cutlet – 10
    Green chillies – 4
    Coconut milk – 2 cups.
    Salt and sugar to taste
    Cumin Powder to garnish

    Method
    1.Bring the coconut milk to a nice boil. Keep stiring until it becomes thick and creamy.It would take around 10 minutes to get a creamy coconut sauce.
    2.Add salt, sugar and chopped green chillies.Mix well
    3. At this point slip in the cutlet and cook for 10 more minutes
    4. Transfer the cutlets in coconut sauce to a bowl and sprinkle cumin powder before serving.

    Hope you guys like the two recipes. Do try them and tell me how it worked.

    Luv,
    NithiShri

    Kugan, u r right... my tweaked payasam will not taste exactly like the one cooked the traditional way but I don't have the patience to cook it the traditional way... & I also don't like it to be too heavy... so I always add low fat milk... & yes, I don't add any extras to the payasam other than milk & sugar...& here in India, I see cooks using condensed milk for rice payasam as well as ada pradhaman to cut short the cooking time & that version tastes good too... BTW, u can also try adding caramel to this rice payasam... it'll taste totally diff...

    I also make a low fat version of the traditional broken wheat payasam using milk & just a lil bit of coconut paste & I like it much more than the wheat payasam tht's cooked full & full in coconut milk...

    [tscii]This is a simple poriyal which we do daily in our homes.
    Poriyal can be made with many types of vegetables.


    CABBAGE PORIYAL

    Ingredients:

    300 grms cabbage cut finely
    1 onion sliced
    1 dry red chillie cut into pieces
    1 sprig curry leaves
    ¼ tsp tumeric powder
    ¼ tsp asafoetida powder
    ¼ tsp mustard seeds
    1 tsp urad dal
    2 tsp oil
    2 tbs thick coconut milk or coconut scrapings
    Little coriander leaves.

    Method:

    Heat oil in a wok, add the mustard seeds, when it crackles
    Add the urad dal and fry till golden.
    Add in the cut onions, curry leaves and the dry red chillies.
    Sauté well, add in the tumeric powder, and asafoetida powder.
    Add also the cut cabbage and salt. Fry nicely for about 2 minutes.
    Cover the wok and cook for another 3 minutes.
    Remove the cover, the cabbage would have cooked in the steam.
    Stir nicely, add in the coconut milk or the scrapings.
    Give it another stir and remove, garnish with cut coriander leaves.
    Serve it as a side dish for rice.

    Boil the gravy for few minutes. lower the heat to medium.
    Now lower the meat balls slowly so that they do not break’
    (That is if you have not deep fried them)

    Let the meat balls simmer in the gravy until they are cooked.
    See that the gravy is not too thick.
    Remove and garnish with coriander leaves.
    Squeeze a lime before serving.
