Rava Vada
Today's recipe is an instant tea time snack. It is deep fried fitters made with semolina/sooji

Ingredients
Rava- 1 cup
Rice flour- 1 tbs
Shallots sliced- 4-5
Yogurt-1 tsp
Ginger chopped- 1 tsp
Green chilly- 2
Curry leaves chopped- a few
Salt to taste
Oil for frying


Soak one cup of Rava/semolina  in two cups of water for about half an hour. After half an hour strain and squeeze out the excess water using a cheese cloth. Add chopped green chilly, curry leaves, shallots,ginger and one tsp of thick yogurt. Mix in the rice flour. You can also add a pinch of baking powder at this stage. Heat oil in a pan. Wet your hands with water and make small patties. Carefully drop then in oil and fry till both sides become golden brown. It takes more time than ordinary vada to get browned up. Serve with ketchup or chutney.

Try this..

      Hi Megha,thanks for stopping by
      Shallots is very similar to pearl onion..a little more bigger variety
      You can use onions instead :)

Pineapple Halwa- Kerala Sweet

Pineapple Halwa   Today's recipe is a rustic confectionery, a chewy dessert treat that everyone loves. But this halwa is unique. There is something very appealing and delightful about fruit halwa. I am not talking about dry fruit halwa, but the ones made with fruit purees, like pineapple, tender coconut, jack fruit, plantain, passion fruit, etc. They are decadent and delicious and are perfect for any occasion. This pineapple halwa recipe was adapted, from the Kozhikodan style fruit halwa recipe. I love traveling and exploring local food habits and regional variations. The SM street in Kozhikode, also known as Mittayi Theruvu, is a treasure trove for all foodies, with a sweet tooth. You can find innumerable varieties of halwa in various hues and flavors.

You can use pureed pineapple or pineapple juice...
