Sweet Dosa Snack- with Banana

This is another quick snack with leftover dosa batter. It is mildly sweet and perfect with some coffee. This snack is very easy to make, and I have made them in appe pan. If you don't have appe pan you can also deep fry them. I personally prefer the one made in appe pan, since it uses less oil. This is also a very good way to use over ripe banana's. 
A similar recipe which is Banana Dosa for kids is up on the blog too. Also a Savory version of this snack, a popular Andhra snack, Punugulu is up on the blog too.

Lets get going and see how this one is made. Step by step images given for reference below. I missed clicking image of adding rice flour. Kindly do add. 
Ingredients: 
  • 1 cup dosa batter 
  • 2 over ripe banana
  • 2 to 3 Tbsp rice flour (adjust to get a thick consistency)
  • A pinch of baking soda
  • 2 tsp sugar or more 
  • Oil for cooking 
  • Appe pan 
Method: 
  1. Mash the bananas and add them into 1 cup dosa batter.
  2. Add in the sugar and baking soda and mix well. 
  3. Heat the appe pan and add in desired oil in each cavity of the appe pan 
  4. Spoon in the batter and cook one side. Turn over and cook the other side as well.

Notes: 
  • You can avoid baking soda if you want to. Baking soda helps it make soft from inside. But if one wants to avoid you can 
  • You can also alternatively deep fry them, but it does soak up more oil than in appe pan.

Easy Sambar (without tamarind)

Sambar is a must in most south Indian families and like others even I have grown up having dosa- sambhar and chutney's. A Sambar is a lentil based vegetable stew or curry cooked with dal/lentils along with some veggies and some tamarind pulp. There are coconut based sambar as well and each region has its own sambar variation. In my house, we all prefer quick meals, but yet tasty. My mother who was a working lady would make elaborate meals only during holidays or special occasions. Rest all the meals would be quick yet very very tasty. This is one such sambar which my mom has taught me and is super quick.  This doesn't use tamarind like in a traditional sambar and gets its tangy flavour from tomatoes. Its quick, one pot sambar recipe. Lets dive in and see how its done: Ingredients: Serves 3 1/2 to 1 cup Tur Dal/ Yellow Lentils 2-3 tomatoes chopped (depending on size) 1/2 cup Veggies each of your choice cubed Turmeric powder A pinch of Asafoetida/ Hing 1/2 tsp chilli powder Salt

Chicken Stew- Kerala chicken curry (Video Recipe)

This simple recipe is every Malayalee's favorite and if you have Appams along with it, its heavenly. It is lightly spiced coconut milk flavoured curry with just a hint of spices. You can make it a vegetable stew by just adding some carrots, beans, peas etc or a chicken stew. You can also combine both veggies and chicken to it and make a delicious kerala style stew. It is mostly combined with appam (thin lacey pancakes) or idiyappam (string hoppers / steamed rice noodles). We also have it with breads and with dosa some times. The addition of vegetables along with chicken gives it a different texture as well. Many recipes add cashew paste to the curry to make it thicker. I usually make them without the cashew paste  and only add coconut milk with the veggies and chicken/ mutton. Kerala is famous for its usage of coconut, and this dish is no different to all the other kerala dishes where coconut milk and coconut oil is used to give that authentic flavour. Let's see how its
