BROKEN WHEAT PULAO

 Hi All, It has been so long since i posted a recipe. Once the pandemic started ,entire family stayed in home all day, making my time miserable. Right from morning to night I was busy and no time for blogging. I was unable to manage blogging, photography, household chores etc etc. So I stopped blogging temporarily and now thought of resuming it a little. Made this pulao few days before with broken wheat. In Pollachi we use to buy Samba ravai for making upma, here in Bengalore Iam getting samba rava only in few shops other than that shops sell this broken wheat as rava :). And as usual my husband brought this broken wheat as Samba rava. So instead of wasting it, made this pulao with double beans.  Simple recipe is as below, INGREDIENTS : Broken wheat -1 cup Ginger -1" piece Garlic 10 pods Cinnamon 1 pc Cloves 2 Cardamom 1 no Other briyani spices 1 each (star anise, bay leaf, marati mokku) Onion 1.5 no Mint, coriander leaves 1 handful Lemon juice 1 tsp Salt Ghee ,oil 2 tblsp Bri...

RAVA KOZHUKATTAI / SOOJI DUMPLINGS

Hi All, I always feel dinner options are very less to me. So whenever something quick and easy recipes comes I immediately try and save it. Few years back I saw this recipe in Yummytummyarthi I saved it but tried only a couple of times and never tried after shifting to bangalore. Last week idli dosa batter was over and bored of chapathi and rotis (also in good mood of cooking 😊 ) so thought of giving a try again with some changes from actual recipe. The kozhukattais came out so beautiful , pluffy, soft and it was just like my arisi kozhukattai.Also it took only hardly 20 mins for cooking. Everyone liked it with tomato chutney , Serve such kozhukattais with spicy,tangy chutnies for perfect combo. Here is the simple easy, peasy recipe for your ref, COOKING TIME : 20 mins. SERVINGS : 4 members. Recipe Source : Yummytummyarthi. INGREDIENTS : Rava – 3 glass. Onions – 2 nos (big). Green chillies – 2 nos. Carrot – 1 (big). Water – 4 cups. Coconut oil...

RAVAIDLI

Hi Everyone, As I told you earlier Iam always little lazy to make chapatis for dinner and breakfast so I always look into other options in making breakfast and dinner.Mostly I will always have Idli , dosa batter in hand but sometimes I will get struck without batter in such cases I will go for pasta , rava idlis , rice hoopers etc.. The main purpose of Sooji is Sooji upma but here in my home no one likes upma so other than upma I make everything with sooji right from ravaladoo , kesari , rava kozhukattai , Ravaidli   etc etc…. This ravaidli is a main dish which you can make in 25 mins , the taste is awesome when compared to upma.I   make this dish mostly for breakfast as it is so easy and easy to digest too,Also as you are adding vegges and boiling in cooker it is healthy too. Try it in home and you will also admit what I say, SERVINGS : YIELDS ABOUT 15 IDLIS INGREDIENTS : Rava / Sooji – 1 cup Thick Curd – ½ cup Salt – as required Oil – 3 tsp...

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...
