Pepper dosa - Milagu Adai - Easy & Healthy Tiffin

-
Pepper dosa - easy and healthy breakfast dish. In South India major types of dosa are prepared using  rice and urid dal. This pepper dosa is also prepared with rice and urid dal but instead of white urid dal i have used black split urid dal.The dosa is flavoured with black pepper powder and to add some extra taste I have added finely chopped onions, fresh grated coconuts, curry leaves and cooked with coconut oil. The consistency of the batter should be thin like rava dosa batter. After grinding the batter you can immediately prepare the dosa and no need to ferment it. The black urid dal and black pepper powder are the main ingredients which give a unique taste for this dosa. The perfect accompaniment for this dosa are coconut chutney or curry leaves chutney.

Vegetable Kurma - Hotel Style Vegetable Kurma (Carrots, beans, potatoes and green peas in rich coconut paste)

-
Image
Vegetable kurma  for chapathi restaurant style Vegetable kurma is a family favourite dish for everybody. This vegetable kurma and chapathi is our weekend special during our childhood days.  The classic combination of carrots, peas, beans and potatoes is enriched with coconut masala paste and other spices. Any type of kurmas cooked in medium flame allows the ingredients to give maximum richness.  Make sure to cut the vegetables in equal size so that you don't have some vegetables overcooked and others undercooked. Do not cook the vegetables for more than 2 whistles because the beans and green peas will turn to grayish colour when overcooked.  For a perfect kurma, taste as you cook and make sure there is a nice balance of flavours and you  will be able to determine any adjustments needed for it.  After finishing the kurma do not hurry up to serve immediately because you can enjoy the flavours once the kurma is at a room temperature.

Moong dal flour Ladoo | Pasiparuppu maavu Urundai | Nei Vilanga

-
Image
Moong dal flour ladoo is made with just four ingredients. In Tirunelveli, we call this ladoo as Nei Urundai or Nei Vilanga. This ladoo is super easy to make and it is very good. To make this ladoo within 15 minutes I suggest to grind the flour when you have free time in your kitchen. This method can save your time and you can easily prepare this ladoo in minutes. You have to melt the ghee right after you mix the moong dal flour and the powdered sugar. Keep everything ready for making ladoos, before melting the ghee. I prefer homemade ghee for this ladoo because I find it was flavorful and tasty. If you are using store bought ghee simmer the ghee for a few minutes and then reheat the ghee for preparing the ladoos. I use split moong dal for this ladoo, you can also use whole green moong dal. If you are using whole green moong dal, grind the flour in your nearest flour mills because in home mixer grinders it won't get powdered finely for ladoos. Checkout my other ladoo recipes her

Tirunelveli special - Thirattupal  Thirattupal is an all time favourite sweet in our family. This sweet is Tirunelveli's famous traditional dish prepared with coconuts, moong dals, jaggery, milk and ghee. This is a healthy and tasty sweet with very less ghee. The secret to making perfect Thirattupal lies in the quality of the fresh coconuts and good quality jaggery. The tricky part in this sweet is cooking it to the right consistency. Cooking the coconut, moong dal paste in jaggery mixture with very less time will make this sweet sticky. We have to stir it continuously for perfect results. Making this thirattupal always takes me back to the school days in my life because my mom frequently make this delicious sweet for us.

Ridge Gourd Kootu - Peerkangai Kootu

-
Image
Ridge gourd kootu - one of my favourite kootu dish for lunch. Naturally ridge gourd has a soft texture which is suitable for kootu dishes. Mostly we don't add onions, tomatoes and garlic for kootu dishes. For this ridge gourd kootu I have added both chana dal and moong dal. As the ridge gourd has soft texture, it gets cooked easily in a vessel so need for pressure cooking. The dals must be cooked in pressure cooker for the smoother consistency which will be perfect for kootu dishes. My Grandma gave me this idea to include both chana dal and moong dal for this kootu because ridge gourd has high water content moong dal gives thickness to it. After cooking the ridge gourd, the kootu is followed by adding the dals and the coconut paste. The coconut based kootu dishes are popular in most Tirunelveli districts. We all like any  kootu with the combination of dals and coconut small onions cumin paste. In my opinion any kootu dishes must have a mild flavours with a medium thick consi
