Ari Orotti




Ari Orotti
Orotti is a simple  and delicious flat bread made with roasted rice flour. Earlier I shared  a recipe for pathiri , the soft and thin flat bread. Orotti is very similar but thicker and crispy. Orotti can be made with rice flour, semolina or wheat flour. Try this with spicy chicken or mutton curry.

Ingredients
Roasted rice flour- 2 cups
Water- 2 cups
salt -to taste
sugar- 1 tsp
coconut oil/butter- 1 1/2 tsp
Coconut milk - 1/2 cup
Grated coconut- 3/4cup
cumin - a pinch


Boil water along with salt and sugar. When it comes to a rolling boil add coconut oil.
Take the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Gradually pour  water little by little and mix with a wooden spoon . Add grated coconut, coconut milk and cumin seeds and mix well.Allow this to cool down and knead into a smooth dough and make small balls

Make lemon shaped balls and flatten on a greased hot tawa. Wet hand with water and press and spread the dough as thin as possible. If you are not comfortable with spreading on hot tawa use plastic cover or butter paper to spread and then place carefully on the tawa/ hot pan. Cook evenly on both side.When one side gets brown spots flip to the other side. Continue with the rest of the dough to make small orotti.Serve with any spicy curry.

Try this,
Hope you will all enjoy!

    In my husband's side, they make this thicker and small... and they don't make kneaded dough, just mix to a squishy dough, take some and make... :) Looks so good, the thin ones would go so well with a spicy non-veg curry...

Thalashery Chicken Biryani

Chicken Biryani is very important for festive occasions in Kerala. Different styles like Kozhikodan Biryani, Malabar Biryani, Thalashery style, Kayees Biryani famous in Central Kerala especially Cochin....the list goes on and on..... This recipe I had noted in my recipe book some time back  from a TV show. Talasherry Biryani ingredients are not much different from the usual Kerala styles,but the preparation and taste is definitely unique. In the ingredients you will find a total absence of curd and chilly powder. The rice I has used is long grain basmathi rice, as I did not have the smaller variety which is actually used in this biryani. Give this recipe a try..you will surely feel the difference. Ingredients For the Rice Basmathi Rice- 3 cups Salt to taste Cloves- 5 Cinnamon 1 inch tick Cardamon- 3 Ghee- 1 tsp Rose water- 2 tsp Water- 6 cups For the masala Chicken- 2 lb Onions thinly sliced- 6-7 medium Tomatoes- 4 medium Ginger - 2 inch thick peice Garlic- 1...

Kerala Chicken Curry/Home Style Chicken Curry

Kerala Chicken Curry Spicy chicken curry is a great accompaniment with rice, appam, or chapati. This chicken curry is an old comfort food recipe, simple and straight forward and you will never go wrong with this. It is a simple, easy chicken curry but tastes delicious. The flavor of earthy spices, onion tomato- masala, and coconut milk all melding into one another, to make rich and aromatic chicken curry. This home-style chicken was the first chicken curry that mom taught me. My mom is my food hero, and sometimes she got this wildly experimenting streak which drives my dad crazy, but I enjoy it the most. So let me call this home style, standardized regular curry, which she makes every Sunday. Now when I’m feeling extra nostalgic for homey taste, I make this chicken curry.  It goes well with almost anything-naans, chapatis, ghee rice, fried rice, or with freshly baked bread.   Coconut milk adds flavor and a touch of sweetness to the curry. If you like, you can add s...

Beetroot Kesari/ Easy to make Beetroot Semolina Dessert

 Beetroot Kesari Beetroot- the humble root vegetable is gaining popularity as a new  superfood . It is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and essential minerals. I try incorporating beets or beet greens in my cooking at least once a week. Beets have a distinctive earthy flavor. Most people have a love-hate relation with beets and here I am talking about beets in desserts. Don't give up on beets already. If cooked properly beets have a subtle sweetness and the more you cook you will get an aromatic sweet flavor when the beet sugar caramelize. So you might have guessed how much I love this veggie. I adore its color, sweetness and earthy flavor. Add this to any dish it will give it a new look and in desserts a unique taste and aroma.  I love beetroot halwa and rava kesari and this recipe is a blend of the two. Kesari is a popular south India dessert made with semolina(coarse flour made with wheat), sugar and nuts with the tempting flavors of ghee and cardamon...
