KUGAN'S KITCHEN PART 3

[NOV]

can anyone tell me what is the tamil name for Matki?...I think it's also known as moth beans...

yes matki, muth and moth are the name of same dal known in english as tepary beans.this dal is brownish grren from outside and yellow from inside.
This is a very healthy and delicious dish from the state of Maharashtra (located on the southwest coast of India). Matki are small tan/brown colored beans, which are oblong in shape. They are very common in Indian cuisine and are also known as moath beans. They are a high source of protein and a main staple in many vegetarian diets. Generally matki can be eaten both sprouted and as whole beans. They can be found very easily in any Indian grocery store.

you can find the picture of this dal at the site mentioned below. http://www.indiamart.com/shamstradi…

It is also called as mot dal.

It is best described as small brown eyed beans or moth beans, or chinna payaru (The dark brown variety) in Tamil!

Dev, here is the cutlet.
You have to serve it on a bed of salad leaves,
with slices of red tomatoes, and tomato ketchup.
i did not have the time to decorate.



PLANTAIN CUTLET

Ingredients:
2 big plantains boiled till just soft.
½ a small potato boiled till just soft (optional)
1 small onion chopped very fine
1 green chillie chopped very fine
¼ tsp ginger paste
1 sprig coriander leaves chopped fine
1 tsp sambar powder
Pinch of tumeric
½ tsp lime juice (optional)
Salt to taste
Little oil
½ cup of bread crumbs

Method:
Mash the plantain and the potato.
add in the onion, green chillie, ginger paste,
coriander leaves, sambar powder, tumeric powder,
and salt. Mix nicely, do not add water.
Lastly add in the lime juice.

Divide the dough into small balls.
Shape them into round patties.
Roll the cutlets in the bread crumbs.
Heat a non-stick pan with little oil.
On low flame, pan fry the cutlets.
See that both sides are fried well.
The bread crumbs gives a nice crispness on the cutlet.
Serve hot with any sauce.
You can also use this cutlet for a vegetarian burger.

[Aarthii]

kugnaka,one doubt,in that cutlet u have asked to pan fry it.Akka,actually two days before i made one veg burger recipe by seeing the recipe on the backside of the burger buns pack.I made it pan fry only,though it is fully browned on the both sides while eating we feel like it is not cooked inside.can u tell me,why it has happened like that?

[kugan98]

Aarthii ma thanks for all your nice responses.
You make us all very happy with your positive
feed backs. Thanks again.

Aarthii is cutlet will be very soft because of the vallakai.
You can try fish cutlet, or vegetarian cutlet which will
be a bit firmer.

I will try to post as soon as I get the time.
Thanks Aarthii. Kugan98.
