Ethapazham Kozhukatta




Ethapazham Kozhukatta

Today's recipe is a tasty and guilt free snack.It is kozhakatta with the different filling. It is caramelized ripe plantain and coconut filling.Usually we use plantain to make ada or puttu for breakfast.But this time I used it as a filling for kozhukatta instead of the usual jaggery coconut filling. It had an inviting flavors of ghee, plantain and cardamon.Serve this with a cup of tea as a snack or as breakfast.



Ingredients
Rice flour- 2 cups
Hot boiling water-1 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
Sugar- 1 tsp
Coconut oil- 2 tsp

For the filling
Ripe plantain- 2
Coconut 1/2 cup
Sugar- 3 tbs
(or according to sweetness you like)
Cardamon  powder- 1/2 tsp
Ghee- 2  tsp



To make the filling cut plantains into small pieces. Heat ghee in a pan and add chopped plantain and stir fry for about 2-3 minutes or till it becomes soft. Add sugar and mix and allow the sugar to melt and caramelize. Mix in coconut and cardamon powder. Allow the mixture to cool.

Boil water along with salt and sugar ( you will need between 1 and 1/4 cup of water,  adjust accordingly till you attain a dough similar to chapathi dough ). When it comes to a rolling boil add in the coconut oil.
Take the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Gradually mix in the water little by little and mix with a wooden spoon and make a soft dough. When able to handle knead into a smooth dough and make small balls. Take one ball each and flatten into circle on your palm.Place the plantain filling in the center. Carefully bring in the edges together and seal. Smooth  it into a ball.Steam this in a steamer or a pressure cooker with out the weight on for around ten minutes. To check if done wet your fingers with water and gently touch on the kozhakatta. It will be smooth on top and will not stick to your finger.Allow it to cool before serving.

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

Chicken Shawarma

Chicken Shawarma Today's recipe is a home made version of chicken shawarma. Shawarma is a popular sandwich of the middle east and is a favorite fast food. No one can resist this delicious sandwich of spiced meat wrapped in pita bread and drizzled with a delicious and tangy yogurt based sauce.The source of inspiration is Dedemed in youtube. I combined some recipes and ended up with a marinade flavor which my family enjoyed .The original meat used in shawarma is slow cooked chicken very similar to rotisserie chicken.But you will get almost the same results if you thinly slice chicken and use a grill pan. In the spice mix I used a little of sumac ( it is optional). It is part of middle eastern cooking and has a tart flavor and enhances the taste of seafood,meat and salads.Sumac has a very inviting fruit tart flavor which you will love,but if you do not have sumac you can very well substitute it with lemon.You can use either chicken or mutton and your own combination of sal
