Pineapple Bread Pola



Pineapple Bread Pola

Bread pola is a popular sweet/ snack of Malabar made with left over bread. It is an easy snack with a texture that resembles bread pudding moist and tender.The star ingredient here is caramelized pineapple.It is an egg based dessert and is slow cooked on stove top. This helps to infuse the flavor of pineapple. Try this you will surely love it.

Ingredients
Bread slices- 8
Eggs- 4
All purpose flour- 2 tbs
Milk-3/4 cup
Pineapple chopped- 1 cup
Ghee- 2 tsp
Cardamon powder- 1/2 tsp
Sugar- 1/2 cup
( according to your sweet preference)
salt- a pinch
Cashew nuts- 8-10
Raisins- 2 tbs
 


I used an 8 inch pan for this recipe. First add the bread slices into a food processor and pulse a few times to make it course and crumbly. Set this aside.
Heat ghee in a pan and fry raisins and cashew nuts. Drain and keep aside.
In the same pan add the chopped pineapple and saute and fry till it changes color to golden brown for about 5-6 minutes. Add half of the sugar and cook till all the sugar is absorbed and the pineapple is caramelized. Set this aside.
In a large bowl beat egg till light and fluffy. Add sugar and cardamom powder and beat well. Mix in milk, all purpose flour and and the bread crumbs. Add in half of the caramelized pineapple and mix well. Heat a pan with little ghee and spread this mixture evenly. Cover and cook in medium for about three minutes till the top starts to set. Now spread the left over pineapple, raisins and cashew nuts. Cover and continue to cook covered  for another 15 minutes in low flame till the top sets and the sides release from the pan. If a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean it is done. Gently invert it on to a plate and allow to cool. Slice and serve with tea.




Try this,
Hope you will all enjoy!

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.

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.
