  April 03, 2019 Saffron Flavours   4 comments

Vendakkai moru curry is a simple and traditional curry with curd and coconut base with very less spice. Its the most common and unavoidable dish in kerala menu and it's an essential part of onam and vishu sadhya. It can be made with or without coconut. Here is how to make moru curry without coconut. Moru curry with vegetables like vellarikka (field marrow), Kumbalanga (Winter melon), Green Papaya , colacacia etc. 
Here I am sharing with you okra/lady's finger moru curry. Tangy, subtly spicy, aromatic and outrightly lip-smacking this curry perks up my mood every time I eat it!

AAMazing mango sago pudding

  March 28, 2019 Saffron Flavours   No comments
Summers call for succulent mangoes that you just can't say no to. In the quest of eating as many mangoes as we can in just a couple of months, we try adding them to every possible thing. Mangoes are rich in antioxidants and add lots of fiber to the diet.  Mangoes offer important vitamins and minerals for our body, preventing that way from many dangerous diseases and keeping our body healthy and fit. The fruit is also rich in vitamin E.

Mango is so versatile fruit that it can be used raw or ripe to make so many different Salads, Shakes, Desserts and even Curries.

All across the world there are more than 400 Mango varieties available, In India alone we get some of the most famous ones including Dusseheri, Alphonso,badam, Mallika, Banganapalli, Chausa, Langda and many more.



To inspire your creativity and delight everyone in your family I am sharing a recipe of easy  mango dessert.This dessert is simple and easy to make. The hard part is cooking the tapioca pearls, but if you follow theprocedurecorrectly, you will be rewarded with a refreshing and delightful dessert. The tapioca pearls were first cooked for half an hour. They are then set aside for 5 minutes and then rinsed under cold water. These steps are necessary for perfectly cooked sago.





INGREDIENTS 
Mangoes - 2 cups pureed
Mangoes - 1/2 cup cut into small cubes
Milk         -  3 cups boiled and cooled
Sugar       - 1 Cup
Sago         - 1 Cup boiled 
Condensed milk- 1/2 cup

PREPARATION 
Soak sago in water for an hour. Rinse it to remove excess starch. Now boil water and add the sago.Cook sago till it gets transparent and soft. Keep mixing else it will stick to the bottom.

Drain water and wash again in running water,drain water completely and set aside. In a mixer jar add mangoes, sugar and 1/4 cup milk and grind it to a smooth paste.

In a mixing bowl add remaining milk and mango pulp and mix well without lumps. Now add condensed milk, Mix well with a whisk. Add cooked sago little by little and mix well.

Now add chopped mangoes(reserve a tbsp for garnish) and give a quick mix.Chill it for an hour and serve chilled.
Serve chilled with cut mangoes and sago as topping.

NEY PATHIRI

  March 05, 2019 Saffron Flavours   No comments
Ney pathiri or ney pathal is a very common breakfast dish in Northern Kerala especially in Kozhikode and Malabar.
It's made with rice flour and deep fried with oil and not ghee. My first impression of this dish was not definitely not good as the pathiri was thick and any amount of curry wouldn't make it soft. After lot of trials and error found a perfect recipe . I made them using rice flour instead of ground rice dough. You can either make them plain using only rice flour and salt or add crushed shallots, coconut and cumin seeds for extra flavour. Enjoy these pathiris with any traditional fish , chicken or mutton curry.


Ney pathiri

Cuisine: Malabar
Prep time: 20 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Ingredients
      1 1/2 cup Rice flour
      Salt , to taste
      Cooking oil , for frying


To Grind
  •        1 Onion , chopped
  •        1 teaspoon Cumin seeds 
  •        4 tablespoons Fresh coconut


Directions 

  1. To begin making the Malabar Style Ney Pathiri Recipe, we will first grind the chopped onion, cumin seeds and coconut to a coarse paste and set aside.
  2. Take a sauce pan, add rice flour, salt to taste, ground onion paste and add about 1/2 cup of water and mix well till there are no lumps.
  3. Keep the rice mixture on medium heat and keep stirring until the rice is cooked and it comes together.
  4. Once the dough has thickened to form a dough. You can switch off the heat and take the dough out and spread it on a plate to cool down.
  5. Heat a kadai with oil to fry the puris. Take out a small ball of dough and roll it flat not too thin.
  6. Flatten it and roll it again to about 1 centimeter thickness. Fry the puri when the oil becomes hot.
  7. Keep flipping it over and fry it so that it evenly get browned on both the side. Take the puri out and strain it over a napkin. Do the rest for the remaining ingredients.
  8. Serve the Malabar Style Ney Pathiri Recipe along with fish, chicken or mutton curry to make it a complete meal.

Mangalorean crab curry Next time you have live crabs at the market, bring home and make this Mangalore-style Crab. We living by the coast are introduced to see food at very young age. We grow up cleaning fish and I learnt cleaning crab at early age and memories of cleaning live crabs and them running out of the vessel comes to my mind as I write this recipe for you.
 A well prepared crab curry is an absolute delight, make sure you use fresh crabs.
The earthy flavour from the spices blended with fresh grated coconut adds to the flavour of this curry. Serve this curry with boiled rice  neer dosas or any bread of your choice.

    Chicken 65

      February 23, 2019 Saffron Flavours   Non Veg   No comments
    Be a kid or a teenage or an adult or an oldie, chicken lovers trend all over the world at all times! One meat that is a favourite of all beyond belief! When cooked, it can be presented in many guises. Sauté it, fry it, toss it, bake it, steam it – eat it the way you want to. Whatever its form may be upon being cooked, its flavour may change but its flesh remains high in protein, low in fat and can be digested easily. This time we are preparing Chicken 65.

    Chicken 65 is one of the most popular snack and a starter recipe all across India… It is made using boneless chicken pieces marinated with some spices and deep fried.

    How the name chicken 65 came ? Chicken 65 was a dish introduced in 1965 at the Buhari Hotel restaurant in Chennai by its founder A.M. Buhari. It is introduced in 1965, so it named chicken 65. Another account claims that it is a dish containing 65 chili peppers and one more is that the dish was at 65th number on the menu of the hotel, that’s why the name.


    Chicken 65


    INGREDIENTS 

    300 gm chicken breast, cleaned and cut into small cubes (boneless)
    • 1/4 cup thick plain yogurt 
    • 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder 
    • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
    • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
    • 1/2 tsp coriander powder
    • 2 tsp ginger garlic paste
    • 2 tsp corn flour 
    • A fistful of curry leaves
    • 10 slit green chillies 
    • 2-3 cups of oil,  for frying
    • Instructions

      1. Mix the yogurt with all the spices, corn flour, ginger-garlic paste, and some salt. 
      2. Add the chicken pieces to this and mix well.
      3. Refrigerate this mixture for about 2 hours.
      4. When you are ready to fry, heat the oil in a kadai or pan. The amount of oil should be enough to almost cover the pieces so the quantity required will depend on your pan.
      5. Gently add the marinated chicken pieces one by one without overlapping and fry on a medium-low flame until golden brown, turning every once in a while. The outside should turn a dark golden brown otherwise the meat won’t be cooked through.
      6.  Remove from the oil. Drain on paper towels as you fry the next batch. Add the curry leaves and slit green chillies when you are frying up the last batch and let it turn crisp.
      7. Drain and add curry leaves and green chillies to the fried pieces of chicken. Give everything a quick stir and serve hot .
