CHICKEN MANCHURIAN(gravy)

  August 31, 2018 Saffron Flavours   Non Veg   No comments
You don’t even need to look at the menu before ordering Chicken Manchurian at any Indo-Chinese restaurant. The manchurian gravy that is served in India is full of flavours, spices and drama – just like how we like it. Batter fried chicken pieces are just one of the delicious things you can make manchurian in. Besides chicken manchurian, soya, paneer, prawns and mixed vegetable manchurian are popular, simple to make and equally delicious! These yummy fried chicken pieces in a sauteed ginger garlic and chilli based thick gravy tastes best with fried rice.
This dish is quintessentially spicy and full of garlic flavor. This dish is served across the world more in Indian restaurants than in Chinese restaurants. This dish was originally a Chinese dish but our Indian chefs modified it by making it more spicy and adding Indian masalas to best suit the Indian tastebuds .

PALADA PAYASAM

  August 29, 2018 Saffron Flavours   No comments


Payasam Recipe – Palada with Readymade Ada

Palada payasam is probably my favourite payasam recipe popularly made during the Onam festival and served for Onam Sadya. You can make Ada Pradhaman with milk (and therefore called Palada Pradhaman) or with coconut milk and jaggery which I prefer to milk-based payasams. However, Palada Pradhaman is easier and quicker to make than jaggery based payasam. So hope this is a useful payasam recipe for Vishu and Onam for you.


                            Preparation Time : 20 minutes
                     Cooking Time : 30-45 minute
                     Serves : 4-6








Ingredients :

Rice Ada : 1 cup ( I used ready-to-use ada, which is available in Kerala grocery Stores.)
Boiled Milk :2 ltrs
Sugar : 1 cup  
Cardamom powder : 1/4 tsp
Ghee : 2 tbsp
Water : 2 cups
Cashew nut : 4tbsp /50 grams
Raisins : 4 tbsp /50 grams

INSTRUCTIONS :

par-boil ada in boiling water for about 3-4 mins and then drain and set side before proceeding.
Make sure our ada pieces are not too large. If they are, break them into smaller pieces for quicker cooking.
Add the milk and water to a heavy-bottomed pan and bring to boil. Add the semi-cooked ada and simmer on low flame stirring frequently.
In about 15-20 mins, it will reduce to half the quantity. Continue to stir and cook the payasam.
Soon you will see the ada starting to show on the surface of the payasam. This will depend on the size of the pan you are using so don't go by this along, just make sure the milk is reduced to more than half of original quantity and the ada is soft.
Add sugar at this stage and mix well (I use raw sugar for all my cooking and drinks but white sugar works perfect too).
Cook for another 3-4 mins and switch off flame. Add the crushed cardamom and mix well. Remove from stove and set aside.
Heat the ghee in a small pan and add the cashew nuts and raisins. Fry until the nuts turn golden brown and add to the payasam. Stir well to combine.

Serve Palada Pradhaman warm or cold.

BRINJAL FRY

  June 13, 2018 Saffron Flavours   No comments
Did you know that the literal translation of ‘baingan’ actually means ‘without merit’.Botanically, brinjal is a fruit (a berry), not a vegetable. It grows on vines, just like tomatoes. For cooking purposes, it is considered a vegetable.
This fleshy, and purple or green veggie is often one of the last options in your menu. There is a misconception that it is not as nutritious as the other much-lauded vegetables and we assume that any dish that includes eggplant is going to be bland.This humble vegetable has a lot to offer – it is highly nutritious, and is very effective in the treatment of diabetes, obesity, hypertension, acne, and hair loss.
Sharing this simple recipe with 5 INGREDIENTS and easy to prepare. You can use either green or purple ; long or round variant to prepare this dish. Here I am using the green variant.

INGREDIENTS 

  • Brinjal- cut into round pieces
  • Chilli powder -1tspn 
  • Turmeric powder 1/4tspn
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for frying

DIRECTION

Add oil in a tawa and shallow fry the brinjal. Serve hot with rice and curry.

CLAMP/MARUVAI SUKKA

  June 01, 2018 Saffron Flavours   No comments
Here is a very popular sea-food dish from the coastal region, made from Clams.This is the Mangalorean style dish called "Marwai Sukka"  or "Clams sukka"If you are getting tired of eating oily fish each week to meet recommendations of Omega-3 fatty acids, add clams to your recipe rotation a few times a month. Clams contains more Omega-3 fatty acids compared to other seafood.Clams are surprisingly high in iron, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese and selenium.
Clams qualify as a lean protein and have more than 20 grams of protein and less than two grams of fat in a three-ounce serving. 

Ingredients

  • Clams - 1 kg                        
  • Onion chopped - 1
  • Garlic - 5 cloves
  • Dry Red chilly - 5
  • Coriander seeds - 2 tbsp
  • Jeera or Cumin seeds - 1 tbsp
  • Methi or fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp
  • Peppercorns - 5
  • Turmeric - 1 tsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Grated/Desiccated coconut - 1/2 cup
  • Tamarind pulp - 2 tbsp
  • Oil - 1 tsp

Method:

Wash the clams well and put them in a pot or big vessel full of water along with some salt, and boil for 10 minutes or until the clams begin to open. Strain the water from clams and keep it aside.
Drain under running cold water. Now separate the clams into halves and keep the side which has the clam meat and discard the empty shell.

Take a pan, dry roast garlic, red chilly and the whole spices for about 5 minutes. Now allow to cool for sometime. 
Now grind the roasted ingredients along with the raw onion, turmeric and tamarind pulp to a smooth but thick paste. Use as little water as possible.
Now take a heavy bottomed pan, add oil, fry the ground paste for 5 minutes till the oil begins to separate. Add grated coconut and the clams and mix well.
Serve hot with rice.



Health & Nutrition Benefits Of Eating Clams 

  • Clams make up for a heart-healthy choice, as they are low in fat and rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
  • It serves as a good source of phosphorus for the body, the nutrient required for proper formation of bones and teeth. In addition, it also helps the body utilize vitamins.
  • The protein level of clam is much higher than that of red meat, with very few calories. It helps in building lean body mass in athletes.
  • It is a rich source of iron for the body. In fact, the iron content in clam is much higher than beef. It is a boon for individuals suffering from iron deficiency.
  • The high amount of potassium present in clam assists the body in maintaining blood pressure and regulating heart function, along with other body processes.
  • It is rich in vitamin A, which is required by the body to maintain healthy skin and also promotes vision, growth and bone development.
  • Clam has a fair amount of cholesterol, which is required to maintain healthy blood cholesterol in the body
