Cauliflower Tomato Shorva

Contributor: ܧhå
Ingredients:
Oil
2 cardamom (opt)
1 clove (opt)
1 small onion chopped
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
2 green chilies
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp chili pwd (adjust to taste)
salt to taste
turmeric powder
1 small head of cauliflower washed cut into small florets
2 medium sized tomatoes (i use vine ripe tomatoes)
2 - 4 tbsp yogurt (depends on how much gravy you want)
cilantro to garnish

Method:
-- Heat oil in a pan and add cardamom & cloves if using. Then add onion and saute until translucent.
-- Add green chilies and ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute until raw ginger smell is gone.
-- Add coriander pwd, chili pwd, salt, turmeric and mix well.
-- Add cauliflower, mix well so that spices coat the florets.
-- On medium heat, cover and cook for 3-4 minutes. Cauliflower should well roasted in spices..
-- Add tomato & yogurt and mix well. Make sure yogurt doesn't curdle. Cover the pan and continue to cook on medium heat until tomatoes are soft and mushy.
-- Add water, about 3/4 - 1 cup, cover and bring to a boil.
-- Let it boil for few minutes. Make sure cauliflower is cooked, it should be by this time. Turn off the heat.. sprinkle cilantro.
-- Serve with rice or roti.

Tips:
if the consistency of the gravy is too think, add little yogurt and cook for few more minutes.. OR add some coriander pwd OR coconut powder... Actually coconut pwd vestee baaguntundhi.. I normally don;t use cocnut that much in my cooking, kaani deentlo vestee, koncham flavor vastundhi

Cajun Chicken Burgers

1. Contributor: Anupama
nenu ground chicken tho burgers maatrame chestanu but i dont grill them - nenu regular skilletlone chesestanu. Grilled ki ayithe - patties laga chesi grill them on both sides for 6-7 minutes till u see the grill marks on both sides and completely done.
I make it extremely hot n spicy. Meeku spice level adjust chesukondi.

Meeku Indian version keema curry laga oddanukunte..u can make American version chicken chili with it

Cajun Chicken Burgers:

Ground Chicken - 1 -1 1/4 Lb
1 Medium Red Onion - finely minced
Green chillies - 15-20
Fresh Garlic - 15 pods
Cajun seasoning - 1 Tbspn
Hot Sauce - 1 Tbspn
Ground Black Pepper - 1 Tbspn
Ground Cumin - 1/2 Tbspn
Salt
Indian red karam - 1 Tbspn
Worcestershire sauce - 3 Tspns
Pepperjack cheese slices
Hamburger buns
Oil
Oinon & Tomato - cut into circles
Romaine lettuce - chopped

Process:

Buns: Halve the buns and toast them till they are slightly golden brown and keep aside

Burgers:

1) Grind chillies and garlic together (without water)
2) Mix the chilli - garlic paste, minced onion and rest of the seasonings with chicken
3) Be careful with salt - Worcester sauce and hot sauce will already have salt in it.
4) Make patties depending on how big u want
5) In a medium skillet - heat 3 tspns of oil and shallow fry them for 5 mins on each side till they are golden brown and even the sides.
6) If u see a tad bit blackish-brown - its bcoz of the Worscester sauce in it
7) At the very last minute of the cooking - put the cheese on top and cover the skillet till the cheese is melted
8) Transfer the burgers on the bun and put the onion, tomato and lettuce on it.
9) Bunski mayo lantivi emi rayanu nenu - if u prefer that way - smear some mayo on the top bun and close the burger.
10) Ready to be eaten

Cajun seasoning and worcester sauce anni grocery stores lo dorukutayi. Check in the spices, barbeque sauce or condiments. U can totally avoid both of them kani Worster sauce konchem burger flavor ostundhi lekapothe it'll be like eating a chicken patty with some spices in it. Nenu Lea and Perrins brand vadtanu. HTH..

Kichidi nenu aithe 3 types of daals tho chesthanu

Almost anni oke laga chesthanu.

1. 2 cups rice ( basmathi is good )
2. 1 cup (moongdal or toordal or chanadal)
Note: Moong dal nenu 1/2 cup split moong with skin ½ cup split with out skin use chesthaa
3. 1 medium onion, 6 to 7 green chillies(depends on how spicy u like)
4. 1 t-spoon ginger garlic paste. You can only add garlic it taste good too.
5. 1 t-spoon ghee, 3 spoons oil, tadka material, few curry leaves,2 cloves, 1 bayleaf

Preparation: Add oil and ghee in a pan , add popu dinusulu, cloves,pinch of hing(smells really good), and slit chillies and ginger garlic paste. Fry for some time
Chop the onion in to thin slices and add them,add some salt and Fry until golden brown. Now add curry leaves.

Wash and soak rice and daal with correct measure of water in rice cokker. Mix the thadka in rice well. Now taste the water u can add salt and red chilli powder according to your taste and turn on the rice cooker.

It tastes realy good with tomato and corriander chutney.(i love it)

Note: I don’t like adding vegetables in kichidi but u can add every vegetable(like tomato,potato,carrot,greenbeans, cauliflower, greenpeas etccc) you want in tadka or in rice cooker directly before turing it on.
2. Always add tomato in tadka, wait until it fried well.
and then add all vegetables u want

I add vegetables only when i use Toor dal(tastes good). Never tried with other daals
toordal kichidi tastes good with aavakaya.

5.  Contributor: kavitha
this is how i make
1 cups - Rava/Sooji (Upma rava)

1 cups - Sugar ( you can add 1/4-1/2 cup more depending on how sweet u want them)
2-3 nos -/Elaichi
2 cups - Rava/Sooji (Upma rava)
1/4 cup - Cashews/Almonds
- Ghee tp roast and fry cashews

in a pan put some ghee and fry cashews when they become light brown remove them
in the same ghee you can roast rava till the raw taste goes.To the roasted rava add elachi powder and fry a second and then switch off the stove

allow it to cool
meanwhile take some milk and boil them and allow it to cool
when the mixture has cooled add sugar( if you want the crystal taste then u can add normal sugar if u dont want it then u can powder the sugar and use it )
now slowly go on adding milk and make balls by placing the dry fruits in each laddoo individually while making them.

if u want to store these laddus for long use ghee instead of milk

Onion Chutney/Ullipaya Karam

Contributor: Beena
i dont know if you are talking about this.. nenu onions tho ila chestanu.. tiffins ki but equally tastes good with Rice..


For 2 medium sized onions, u need 1/2 cup coconut powder

Onions, Coconut powder, Chilli Powder, Salt annee blend into coarse mixture.. this is raw now..we need to fry this mixture to get rid of the water.
In a pan, add 4 tbsp of Oil, add mustard, jeera, urad dal, chana dal , dry chillies and Curry leaves as we do for tadka. when its done add the onion mixture and fry it.. keep it in medium/slow flame depending on the amount of chutney and we need to keep stirring for every 2-3 mins, to make sure it doesnt stick to the pan..

this chutney is served with ghee in dosas or Rice.

After about 5 mins remove the lid and add coriander leaves. Its should be like a gravy now. By the time its served.. all the extra water in the curry would be gone.

This tastes good with Roti/Rice/Coconut Rice..

Pongal Recipes

1.  Contributor: Radha
I tried this ven pongal.It came out well.U can fallow these steps..

Ven pongal can be cooked in two ways. One is adding the seasoning after cooking rice and dal. The other is doing the reverse way. Adding seasoning to the uncooked rice and dal, then cooking. In this way, the pongal color may look more darker than the first way of cooking.You can add some milk together with water instead of whole water to cook the pongal. This may add some mild sweetness to the pongal. Some people like to add grated ginger to the pongal. You can customize the seasoning according to your taste.

Now follows the recipe:

Ingredients:

* Rice - 1 cup (uncooked)
* Green gram dal(split) - 1/2 cup(Roasted)
* Salt - to taste
* Ghee and Oil - 2 to 3 teaspoons
* Water - to cook pongal

For seasoning:

* Cashew nuts - 10 -12
* Red chilies - 2
* Hing - 1/4 teaspoon
* Cumin seeds - 2 teaspoon
* Peppercorns - 1 ½ teaspoon
* Curry leaves - a sprig

Recipe:

1. Heat very little ghee or oil in a pan. Add split green gram dal and fry till it turns into light brown. Remove from heat.
2. Wash rice and roasted dal in water. Cook Rice and dal together with salt in pressure cooker or in a vessel. To cook in pressure cooker, add 3 ½ to 4 cups of water and leave for 3 whistles. Once the steam is released from the cooker, do the seasoning.
3. For seasoning: Heat Oil and Ghee in a pan. Add Cashew nuts and fry till it turns into light brown. Then add Red chilies, Cumin seeds, Peppercorns, Hing and Curry leaves, fry for 1 or 2 minutes.
4. Pour this mix to cooked pongal and mix.

Serve with coconut chutney or sambar.. It will b yummy...

2.  Contributor: Gayathri
Rice 1 cup--- soak it for 15 mins

Moong Dhal: 1/2 cup... just heat in a pan for few mins.. do not make it go brown...

U can add coconut milk while u keep it in Pressure cooker

Keep it for like 5 -6 whistles...The water will be the same as u use it for rice n dhal but make sure u pour 1 more extra cup

for the sizzling, heat ghee, put jeera and let it splutter , add ginger, green chillies, curry leaves, pepper powder or pepper and then add this to the pongal mixture add salt and mix well...

Serve hot and when u serve , add a tablespoon of ghee on top

This is how I do it.... hope it turns out well :-))

3.  Contributor: Praneetha
For pongal recipe :

Ingredients :
Rice - 1 cup
Moong dal - 1/2 or 3/4 cup
perpper corns - 1 spoon
cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
chana,urad dal - 1tsp
hing
oil
ghee
curry leaves
red chillies dry - 2/3
green chillies - 3/4
salt

In a pressure cooker pan, take rice n dal (together), add enough water (21/2 cups) and cook for 3 whistles. Then, in a tadka pan, do the tadka and add this to the cooked stuff. Tadka will be good with ghee. You are ready to serve.

Generally in Andhra, we serve it in proper solid form. In TN, they serve it in liquid form. For tht all u have to do is, keep the vessel on med flame, add 1 more cup of water and stir well, so tht water distributes nicely. Then turn off and serve.

Both cases, u can serve with coconut chutney,pickle or any sweet pulusu. we usually serve with menthi pulusu. It's an awesome combination.

Contributor: ✽Rⓐⓓⓗⓐ ✾ .. I usually fallow this procedure.I learnt it from my mom. Ingredients: ----------------- 500 gms maida (all-purpose flour) 4-5 tbsps ghee enough water to knead the maida salt to taste oil for deep frying For the filling: 1/4 dry coconut finely grated 1 cup sooji/semolina (you can use putnala pappu/roasted chick peas or khus-khus/poppy seeds in place of sooji) 1 cup sugar 1 tsp cardamom pwd 3 tbsps finely chopped cashewnuts Method ------------------- : 1Mix the maida with salt, 2-3 tbsps ghee and enough water to make a pliable dough, not too soft. Divide the dough and shape into small balls . Keep aside covered for half an hour. 2Meanwhile, heat a pan, add 1 tbsp ghee and add the grated coconut and roast over medium flame for a few minutes, approx 3-4 mts. Remove and keep aside. If using fresh coconut, roast the coconut till golden brown. Ensure that its well roasted, it takes longer time to roast than dry coconut. 3 In the same pan, add 1 tbsp ghee and add the sooji and roast over medium flame till it turns light pink, approx 7-8 mts. Remove, cool and keep aside. 4 Powder the sugar and mix with the roasted sooji, grated coconut, cardamom powder and cashewnuts. The filling is ready. Keep aside. 5 Now, roll each ball with the rolling pin into a thin puri. 6 Spread a tablespoon of the filling on one half of the rolled out dough. Wet your finger and run it along the edges of the spread out dough with water and fold over to the opposite end, enclosing the stuffing to form a semi-circle shaped kajjikaya. Press the ends firmly so that the filling doesnt come out during the deep frying process and twist the edges around the kajjikaya . 7 Heat enough oil in a wide vessel to deep fry the stuffed kajjikayalu. Drop 3-4 kajjikayalu into the oil slowly and deep fry them till golden brown, turning them carefully to the other side so that it cooks on all sides. Deep fry on medium heat and not piping hot oil. 8 Cool and store in air tight containers. Kajjikayalu remain fresh for atleast a week and can be stored for 3-4 weeks
