Potato and Carrot Stew


Potato and carrot stew goes well with appam, idiyappam and chapatis. This is a simple and delicious recipe which is somewhat similar to the Kerala potato ishtu. It is potatoes cooked in a thick creamy coconut sauce. It has a mild and delicate flavor and is less spicy.

Ingredients
Potatoes- 3 medium
Carrots -  2 medium
Onion-      1
Green Chilly- 3
Ginger-  1 inch thick
Fennel seeds- 3/4 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2tsp
Thick Coconut milk- 1 cup
Mustard Seeds- 1/2 tsp
Dry Red chilly- 1
Curry leaves
Salt to taste
oil

Chop potatoes and carrots into one inch thick pieces and onions into thin slices. Mix potatoes, onion, carrot,green chilly, ginger, fennel seed powder, turmeric, salt and one cup of water and cook till vegetables are soft. Stir in thick coconut milk and allow to simmer for a minute. In a seperate pan heat oil and add mustard seeds and when it crackles add red chilly and curry leaves and fry. Add this to the stew and serve warm with appams or idiyappam. If you make it a lesser gravy it goes well with puris.

Try this...
Hope you will all enjoy..

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference. Ingredients For the Rice Basmathi Rice- 3 cups Salt to taste Cloves- 5 Cinnamon 1 inch tick Cardamon- 3 Ghee- 1 tsp Rose water- 2 tsp Water- 6 cups For the masala Chicken- 2 lb Onions thinly sliced- 6-7 medium Tomatoes- 4 medium Ginger - 2 inch thick peice Garlic- 1...

Berry Cake

This is a berry cake which I made a few days back. Here I used white cake recipe but dashed in a few black berries and strawberries. This cake complements any type of filling or frosting but I have just dusted it with powdered sugar to make it an accompaniment with coffee and my family really enjoyed this cake . I used self rising flour but you can use all purpose flour instead by adding in one third tsp of salt and one and one half tsp of baking powder to each cup of plain flour. Ingredients Self Raising flour- 2 cups Egg white- 3 eggs ( half Cup) Butter - one stick ( 4 ounce) Sugar- 1 cup  Confectionery sugar- 1/3 cup Milk- 1/2 cup  Vanilla essence- 2 tsp Black berries- 1 pint Strawberries - 1/2cup Preheat oven to 350 F. Set rack in he middle of the oven Grease pan with butter and layer with parchment paper and again grease with butter and dust with flour. This will ensure that the cake comes off properly. Set aside.  Beat egg whites and vanilla extra...
