பால் கொழுக்கட்டை / Rice Dumplings in Sweet Coconut Sauce

Hi Friends,

Happy to blog after a long break. For the month of February I am hosting the SNC challenge on behalf of Southern Team. Everyone is aware of this wonderful event running by Divya Pramil of You too can cook Indian Food  . If not please click the link here to join.I thank her for giving me this opportunity.  This time I am challenging the Northern team with a South Indian delicacy Paal Kolukattai .

And coming to the recipe this is one of my hubby’s favourite sweet.I learnt this from my grandma.My grandma will usually soak the rice for 2 hours and grind it without adding much water using a grinder.Then she will cover the thickly grounded dough with a cotton towel to absorb excess water .Then she will spread a dhoti and we all including my brothers will sit around and  roll them as tiny balls , sometimes playing with the dough as we were small those days. Usually she will make a lot to share with relatives . Thinking of those days really makes me happy .I know this is a long process but the result really worth . Here I used rice flour to make the process easy. The only thing is you should never leave the stove unnoticed while making it as it will easily get burned.  And am sure you will all enjoy this yummy kolukattai. Lets see the preparation….

Mutton Varuval Curry / Mutton Fry curry

Hi Friends,

This is a very popular and a traditional dish from Indian cuisine . I got this authentic recipe of course from my mom who is a great cook to me.My mom prepares this curry in a kadai (i.e,not using pressure cooker) that was so great.The mutton we get in my moms place is so soft and cooks soon.But without cooker I can’t make this as the mutton I am getting here in my place is so hard and will take hours when I cook in a kadai.I love to toss some hot rice in  the  masala leftover in the pan.That tastes awesome.  This hot dish goes well with steamed rice or rotis or with any type of Indian flatbreads or with pulao rice.We loved this so much and try it , definitely you too will love it…

Gramathu Kozhi Kulambu / Village Style Chicken Curry

This is a very aromatic Chicken Kulambu / Curry made with fresh ingredients.Before days people used to make curries with freshly ground ingredients.Now-a-days too in villages some of them use fresh masalas.I still remember whenever we visited my aunts place in my childhood she will make chicken kulambu with freshly grounded masala that too made using hands.(i.e) using ammikkal.
