Chana Dal Burfi



Chana Dal Burfi

Chana Dal Burfi is quick and yummy sweet with the  lentils and coconut. Burfi is Indian fudge and there is a range of flavors to try. It is easy to put together and I make them on special occasions like Diwali. I have tried coconut, mango and chocolate burfi. This is the first time I tried with dal.This is an easy version with condensed milk. I found this recipe in you tube and gave it a try.

Ingredients
Chana Dal- 1 cup
Grated coconut- 1/2 cup
Condensed milk- 1tin
Milk- 1 1/2 cup
Ghee- 2 tbs
Cardamon powder- 1/2 tsp
Almonds/cashew nuts or pistachios- 2 tbs


Soak chana dal for 4-5 hours. Cook dal with milk till it is soft. Transfer to a blender and make it into a paste.
Heat ghee in a pan and roast the almonds and cashew nuts till golden brown. Remove from ghee and keep aside.
 In the same pan pour the dal paste and roast till there is a nice aroma or till it changes color.Add grated coconut and condensed milk and stir for 8-10 minutes. At this stage of cooking it will be bubbly hot molten liquid style, so be careful or it might cause severe burns. I also noticed that dal tends to be more sticky, so it needs continuous stir to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan. Cook the mixture till it becomes thick and leaves the edges of the pan.
 Add the cardamom powder, roasted nuts and mix well. Stir for two to minutes and remove from the stove.
Grease a plate with ghee and transfer the contents into the plate. Flatten and smooth  it with the back of a spoon and let it set for an hour. Cut into desired shape and serve.

Kallumakaya/ Kadukka/Mussels Fry

This  spicy fried delicacy and is much favored in Kerala. It is one of the all time favorites next to lobster and crab.Mussels or kadukka is a good source of zinc and folic acid.It is more popular in Malabar regions and there are several traditional and exotic recipes and it can be either fried or stuffed( arikadukka- mussels stuffed with rice paste). As I searched the web I found another interesting recipe of the Malabar region Kadukka pickle!. Anyways I am yet to try arikadukka and pickle. The whole process of cleaning mussels is tedious. It needs to be boiled to open the shells and removal of the wastes etc., will be time consuming. Here I tried with the cleaned and packed mussels. This is spicy and delicious and can be served as an appetizer or a side dish. Ingredients Mussels- 1 1/2 lb Onion sliced-1  Shallot - 8-10 Tomato- 1 medium Ginger-2 inch thick Garlic- 8-10 pods Chilly powder- 1 tsp Pepper powder- 3/4 tsp Coriander powder- 1 tsp Turmeric powder...
