    Kadhi Recipe | Punjabi Kadhi Pakora

    Kadhi recipe is the popular Punjabi Kadhi Pakora. It is tasty and one of the cherished meals for north indians. 

    Kadhi chawal is the staple food of many people. It is easy to make and makes a good accompaniment with steamed rice. When the usual cooking needs a change, we resort to other kind of dishes. Kadhi is one of them. Every region has its own version of kadhi. The basic ingredient for kadhi is curd and gram flour.  There is a variation in the method of preparation.

    Kadhi with pakora is a signature dish from North Indian cuisine. Kadhi with pakora is made by dunking the onion pakoras in kadhi.

    What is Kadhi ?

    Kadhi is a popular yoghurt- based dish from Indian sub-continent. Gram flour is usually used to thicken it along with other ingredients. 

    What are the variation in Kadhi ? 

    Every region in India, has it’s own unique culture and traditions. Kadhi is prepared in most parts of the country but every region has its  own unique recipe. In South India, coconut is used in the preparation of majjige paladya along with other ingredients. It is similar to kadhi, at times we add ambodi in it.  The method of preparation is different in Rajasthan, a simple one with or without badas.  Gujarati kadhi is another version which I am yet to make. Sindhi kadhi is totally different and delectable with vegetables in it.

  • Lemon Gojju | Nimbe hannina gojju recipe

    Lemon Gojju | Nimbe hannina gojju recipe

    Lemon gojju | Nimbe hannina gojju is a tasty condiment used in South India. Nimbe hannu is the Kannada name of lemon. 

    The taste of lemon  is citrusy, tasty, refreshing and loved by all. During the season, I try to find ways to include it in my cooking.

    Lemon is usually used to make pickles, it makes a good accompaniment  with curds riice. Lemon juice is the preferred drink during summer. 

    In daily cooking, it helps to balance the taste in all dishes by its citrus flavour as in lemon rice. It can also  be used to make lemon rasam. I make lemon gojju often and store in the refrigerator. I can say it is a recipe of cooking with lemon peels. Here, the lemon are boiled and then blended  along with some spices. The tartness of the lemon, the sweetness of the jaggery and the spiciness of the chilli powder, altogether make the dish a tangy and tasty one. Lemon Gojju has a refreshing taste, ideal to pair with hot, steamed rice. It stays good for a couple of days in the refrigerator. 

    A lemon tree in the backyard is useful, it gives limes quite often. The lemon are refreshing and makes a good drink.

    lemon gojju | nimbe hannina gojju

    An easy hack to store lemons :

    Lemon tend to wither after a few days even when you keep in the refrigerator too. Take a bottle, fill it with water to half the capacity. Put the lemons in it and close it. Change the water after a couple of days.

    Last year, I had got many lemon. I did not know what to do. I made a concentrate of lemon juice and put it in the ice cube tray. 

     

    The ingredients used for Nimbehannina Gojju are :

    1. Lemon- It is the main ingredient used here. Rubbing  the lemon on the kitchen platform for sometime helps to extract juice properly. 
    2. Cumin- It gives a good taste to the dish.
    3. Fenugreek –  It helps in balancing the taste of the dish.
    4. Red chilli – It imparts spiciness.
    5. Jaggery- It gives a sweet flavour.
    6. Oil – Any neutral cooking oil can be used. 
    7. Asafoetida – One of the essentials for seasoning.
    8. Mustard – Another essential ingredient in South Indian cooking. 



    How to use the gojju :

    The lemon gojju is usually served with hot steamed rice along with a dollop of ghee. The freshness of lemon gives a good taste to the dish. It is usually eaten in the beginning of the meal before the main meal. It can also be used as an accompaniment with curds rice.

  • Srilankan Green Bean Curry

    Srilankan Green Bean Curry

    Srilankan Green Bean Curry is a tasty side dish cooked in coconut milk. It makes a good accompaniment with chapathi or steamed rice. 

    It is a new month and I have a new cuisine on my blog today. It is now to the Srilankan cuisine. Sri Lanka, as we all know is a small country to the south of India. It has a mixed culture traditions.  

    srilankan green bean curry


    About SriLankan cuisine :


    There is a lot to explore in the SriLankan food. I am naive but did a lot of research before I could plunge into cooking it. It is mainly a non-vegetarian cuisine but one can find good vegetarian food too. It is a land of coconut and cinnamon. I think coconut milk or coconut is extensively used. It gives a good taste to the food too. Being a South Indian, I can vouch for the taste it imparts to the dish.

    Ceylon cinnamon is sweetish in taste and gives a good flavour to the dishes. I have used it  and it is more aromatic than the usual one which we use. Pandan leaves are extensively used in many dishes. Although, Srilankan cuisine looks so familiar to us, it is not exactly the same. The spice mix too is different, the food is more spicy than the Indian cuisine as pepper and cinnamon are abundantly used. But, the bottom line is Indian cuisine is quite similar to it. An Indian in Ceylon will be happy with the food that he get there. 

    Srilankan cuisine has many kind of rice based dishes and hoppers . It is mostly served with a coconut milk based curry. I am yet to explore this cuisine, for now I have tried two side dishes, both were good. 

    About the event :

    Narmadha of Nams Corner suggested Sri Lankan cuisine for the month of August. Thanks to Narmadha, I would not have explored this cuisine. She has many dishes on her blog, I have bookmarked her kallu dodol recipe to make it soon.  I was paired with Preethi, she gave me currry leaf and green chilli, I have made this dish. I gave Preethi, mustard seeds and fennel, she has made flavoursome spice mix used in Srilankan cuisine.

    I have adapted the recipe from here.

    About the green bean stir fry:

    When I was looking for the dishes to prepare, I had so many in mind. Finally, I decided to make Beans Stir Fry as my family loves the  humble vegetable. The ingredients needed are easily available and the cooking is done quickly if you outsource the coconut milk. Here, I made fresh coconut milk for the dish.. It paired well with chapathi. Let us look at the recipe beans curry in coconut milk

     

    What goes in Srilankan Green Bean Curry ?

    • Beans : Cut them into two inch long pieces with a diagonal at the end. You will need 150 grams of beans.

The mixture can be pounded again and extracted. The second  extract can be used for any other dish. This is the thick coconut milk. Alternatively, you can use store bought coconut milk. 
    • Onion: Cut it into small pieces.

  • Pesarattu Recipe | Moong Dal Dosa

    Pesarattu Recipe | Moong Dal Dosa

    Pesarattu is a popular breakfast from Andhra Pradesh. It is a lacy crepe made with moong dal. It is usually served with upma and chutney. 

    Pesarattu is a  moong crepe from Andhra Pradesh. The green moong or the yellow lentil can be used in the preparation. It needs no fermentation. 

    The beauty of India is the varied culture and traditions we see in each part of the country. Every state has its own set of recipes. Andhra cuisine is known for its spicy food. Pickles and chutneys are quite common in the menu.  Earlier, I have shared gongura chutney recipe. I have also shared Andhra pappu and Andhra rasam. My son is fond of these dishes. 

    Today, I am sharing a breakfast  recipe  from Andhra Pradesh. When we are bored of the usual dosa, moong dal dosa or pesarattu comes to the rescue.

    4. Once the water boils, slowly add the semolina to it and mix thoroughly. Let cook for  sometime. Put lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves.

    To make chutney:

    4. Sprinkle onion pieces and coriander over it.
    5. Once it is cooked, put a little upma and fold it. Serve with coconut chutney.

    Take a tip:

    • Moong dal can be soaked for one to three hours.
    • The consistency of the batter should be thick.

    Horse gram stir fry is a simple yet tasty side dish. It is ideal to pair with jowar roti or chapathi. This is a recipe from the state of Karnataka and is commonly known as Hurali kalu palya.

    Horse gram is a popular lentil used by many people. It is known for its distinctive taste and the many nutrients it contains. Macrotyloma iniflorum is the botanical name. It is called by various names as kulith, kollu, hurali in regional languages. Did you know that it is the common feed of horses? It is rich in proteins and a good source of energy  for racing horses. Thus it is called as horse gram.

  • Tri-colour Dhokla | Gujarati cuisine

    Tri-colour Dhokla | Gujarati cuisine

    Tri-colour dhokla is a three layered dhokla. The green layer is sandwiched between the yellow coloured dhokla and white dhokla. The yellow dhokla is khaman dhokla. It makes a good evening snack.

    Dhokla as we all know is a popular savoury snack from Gujarati cuisine. It was initially made with gram flour but soon different kinds were made. Dhokla in its real form is  fermented and later steamed. Times have changed, today, most of the dhokla recipes we make are the instant versions. The most common scenario is we are on work and need to whip some quick dishes, isn’t it ? I have shared many instant dhokla recipes earlier. Check out my corn dhokla, oats dhokla and multi-millet dhokla

    To make tri-colour dhokla, it needs a little planning. It is made by fermenting the two batters. Ideally, it is best to mix at night and prepare in the morning. But, incase, you want to make it in the evening, you need to mix the batter in the morning itself. Here, I have taken one cup of flour, feel free to use the same measurement in grams.

    Let us get to the tri-colour dhokla recipe:

    tri-colour dhokla

    Tri-colour Dhokla

    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin

    5. Mix a spoon of besan in the green chutney. This is used for the green layer.

    7. Add the required quantity of salt to both the batter.
    8. Put the dhokla steamer to heat.

    14. Allow it to steam for sometime, a knife pricked should come out clean.
    15. In the meantime, make the seasoning with nustard, cumin, green chilli and cury leaves. Mix some nutermilk in the seasoning.
    16. Cut the dhokla into pieces, pour the seasoning over it.
