Semolina Vegetable Puttu



Semolina Vegetable Puttu

 Puttu is steamed rice cake and is Malayali's favorite breakfast. Puttu can be made with rice flour or wheat flour. This recipe uses semolina and is made even healthier by adding vegetables. I clicked this picture when my mother-in law made this for breakfast. Thanks Ammachi for sharing this recipe.

Ingredients 
Semolina-2 cup
Grated vegetables- 1 cup
(a combination of shredded carrot, beetroot, chopped beans and green peas)
Coconut - 3/4 cup
Sugar-1 tsp
salt- 1/3 tsp
water- 1/2 cup



Chop vegetables and  keep aside. Take semolina in a bowl and add grated coconut.Rub in coconut using your palm.Mix sugar and salt in 1/2 cup of water and sprinkle it little by little into the semolina mixture. Mix to form a course damp mixture without lumps, resembling wet sand. To check  moisture  press handful of mixture in form of balls. It should hold together and also easily break off when crumbled. Mix in the vegetable and let it sit for five minutes.
Take the puttu maker and fill the bottom layer with one tsp grated coconut. Fill the puttu mixture finally top with grated coconut. Bring three cups of water to boil in the pressure cooker(or puttu maker) and place this carefully in the nozzle and allow it  to cook. Let it steam for around three to four minutes till you see steam escaping from all sides on the top.

Hope you will all enjoy....

Palpayasam

Paal payasam/Palpayasam Happy Onam to all my friends and readers! Wish you all a very happy and prosperous Onam!!! Onam is finally here and no celebration is complete without a sweet dessert. I am sure no Malayali can think of a sadhya without a payasam. Pal payasam is definitely a star,my all time favorite :) This is a rich delicious payasam where the rice is cooked in milk till it attains a creamy texture. The milk gets reduced and the flavor and taste is very much  like palkova. It has very little ingredients, but it is time consuming and  needs a little patience to prepare this dessert. Here I have used basmathi rice but it is best if we use payasam ari (rice) or rose matta rice.Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Basmathi Rice- 2 hand full ( or rose matta rice) Milk- 5 cup Sugar- 1/2 cup Cardamon crushed-4-5 Cashew nut- 8-10 Wash and soak rice for one hour. In a heavy bottom pan pour milk and bring it to a bo...

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...
