Rava Idli


Rava Idli  (semolina idli) is an instant and easy fix for breakfast, as there is no soaking,grinding or fermentation.This is a specialty of Karnataka and part of the menu in Udupi restaurants. It is healthy and quite filling and tastes delicious with chutney and sambar.

Ingredients
Rava or Semolina- 2 cup
Yogurt - 3/4 cup
Carrot- 1 medium
Chana Dal- 2 tsp
Urad Dal- 2 tsp
Chopped ginger- 1 tsp
Green chilly- 2
asafoetida - a pinch
Curry leaves- a few
Baking soda- a pinch
Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
Oil- 2 tsp


Dry roast rava till it attains a nice aroma. Allow to cool a minute and soak for half an hour in 2 1/2 cups of water.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and when it splutters add chana dal and fry for a minute, followed by urud dal, ginger, chilly, curry leaves and asafoetida and chopped carrot and fry for a minute. Allow this to cool.
Add yogurt into the soaked rava along with this fried mixture. Do not add much water. The consistency should be a little more thick than idli batter.Add salt and baking soda and pour into greased idli maker dish and steam for 8-10 minutes. To check whether it is cooked wet the tip of your finger and gently touch the idli. If it does not stick to your finger then it is done. Serve warm with chutney or sambar.

Try this..
Hope you will enjoy..

    Suja,I am in love with the word,,"idli" be it rava,rice or oats,I am a die hard fan of idli's as a matter of fact even though I am a north Indian I always craved for all the food from south :)I make these but never used carrots,the carrot adds more character to the idli with its vibrant color. Love the sambar too...*drools*

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...

Beef Fry/ Kerala Pepper Beef Fry

Kerala Beef Fry Beef Fry (Kerala Style) is very popular especially in Tattukadas or fast food outlets. It can also be made at home. If you are not familiar with tattukadas they are makeshift eateries flocked by local people throughout the day and serve local delicacies. Beef curry or beef varattiyathu is also served in thattukadas and restaurants in Kerala. Beef fry and Kerala layered parotta is a popular combo. It’s a great side dish for a crowd, so next time you have a party, you should give this a try. It is an easy recipe and tastes super delicious. Now when I say beef fry it might get a bit of a bad rap in the ‘wellness world’. Let me assure you this beef fry is finger-licking delicious with bold flavors. Even though it is called beef fry it is not deep-fried. The beef is first cooked with aromatic spices and then further pan-fried or roasted till the meat gets coated with masala's and crispy on the outside. The beef is succulent with the right amount of heat and flavo...

Nadan Mutton Curry/ Kerala Mutton Curry

Nadan Mutton curry Nadan mutton curry is deliciously spicy and a much-coveted dish in restaurants and eateries in Kerala. This luscious flavored mutton curry has the deep essence of Kerala cooking, with aromatic spices and coconut abundantly available in the state. If you wish for some spicy non vegetarian weekend meal, here is one to relish. This curry is magical, with few ingredients, but with great flavors. For me, it is a homey dish that my family adores. It tastes divine with Kerala parottas or with soft lacy appam, you can also serve this steamed rice, puttu, or chapati. Naadan mutton curry is easy to make. What makes this dish flavorful and inviting is the flavor of fresh ground masala, coconut oil, and the fresh taste of curry leaves. In this recipe, I have also added mint. I love adding fried mint in my homemade mutton curry just like my mom( but it is optional). There are chilies- lots of them for a fiery look, and I prefer Kashmiri chilly, which has color and les...
