KAMBU BISCUITS / PEARL MILLET/ BAJRA BISCUITS

Hi All, I make biscuits very rare, since we love cakes more than biscuits we make cake often almost every week. Recently I ground Pearl millet / Bajra flour in big batch, and don’t know much recipes to make with it. I make dosas which will be very delicious and healthy too. But since the flour is huge and was not able to finish it so planned to make kambu biscuits. The biscuits came out super hit and everyone liked it so much. These biscuits are super healthy, equally delicious and attractive too. You can adjust nuts quantity as per your taste. Also you can replace ghee with oil too but since ghee is healthy and gives good aroma I used ghee itself. When making dough little chocolate powder/ cocoa powder can be added too, which will enhance the flavour but Definity It will dominate bajra flour flavour . Enough with the tips , here is the simple recipe, COOKING TIME : 45 mins. INGREDIENTS : Kambu flour/ Pearl millet – 1 cup Wheat four – 1 cup. Almond – 15 nos...

SPROUTED KAMBU DOSA / SPROUTED BAJRA / DARK MILLET DOSA

Hi Everyone, KAMBU DOSA!! Bajra or Dark millet is very very good for health .But making tasty dishes out of it is important in our home.Even though I make healthier food if it is not tasty no one will eat it. Dosa is favorite for everyone so I add all healthy ingredients in dosa batter and make yummy,crispy yet healthy breakfast and dinner. My mother advises to add kambu along with urad dal while grinding to make kambu dosa.But I will not prepare in that way , Bcoz it looks like I need to make same variety of dosa for 2 -3 days and everyone feels bored. So I make basic dosa batter (recipe here) and refrigerate it . Whatever variety dosa I want to prepare I will add that powder or puree to required amount of dosa batter just 7 hours before cooking and leave them for fermentation. This way I can make variety of dosas in a week and it wont get repeated also. Kambu dosa I will make sprouts ( recipe here ) with kambu , sundry for a day and grind them to fine powder and s...

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...
