UBBU ROTI ( PUFFED ROTI)

தமிழில் காண : கிளிக் 

Hi ,
UBBU ROTI ( PUFFED ROTI) ! This one snack we make during local festivals , The name ubbu roti is by its puffed nature.The freshly ground rice along with lentil and fresh spices give you fantastic aroma and great taste.It is a very famous snack in Coimbatore , Pollachi and is also very easy to make.
The taste depends on the freshness and consistency of the batter so try to make it as soon as you grind it.You can refrigerate and can make it one day later but not more than that.
Try it in home with the below recipe,

SERVINGS : YIELDS ABOUT 20 SMALL POORIS.

INGREDIENTS :
Idli rice – 1 cup.
Toor dal – 1/4 cup.
Onions – 1 no ( big).
Curry leaves – a sprig.
Cumin / zeera – 1 tsp.
Dry red chillies – 4 nos.
Coconut – 1/4 cup.
Powder Salt – as required.
Oil – for deep frying.

METHOD :
  1. Wash and soak rice and dal with enough water for 4 hours.
  2. In grinder without adding water grind all the above ingredients except salt to fine paste.
  3. If required sprinkle little water but don't add water , the batter must be very thick.
  4. Finally add salt and mix well.
  5. Heat oil in wide kadai.
  6. In a wide muslin cloth place a coin sized batter and close the cloth and press it lightly to form even disc ( placing in cloth and pressing gives even thickness to pooris).
  7. Drop the pooris gently into the hot oil , when pooris puffed up , turn to next side and leave for a second and remove from oil.
  8. Drain the oil completely and serve hot.
  9. Sameway fry all the pooris and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee.
NOTES :
  1. Batter consistency is very important so make sure you add no water while grinding.If you are grinding in mixer ( food processor) then you might need add water while grinding.In that case after grinding keep the batter in refrigerator for few hours so that batter will turn thick ,if still batter is runny then empty the batter to a cotton cloth and squeeze it as much as possible to drain all the water.Hope it helps😊
  2. Four chillies will give you mild spiciness , if you need you can add 2 more chillies for spicy,hot ubbu rotis.Red chillies can be replaced by green chillies too. 
     HAPPY COOKING!!

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
