Rava Fritters - Tea time snack

Another quick rava snack which is perfect with evening tea and is extremely easy to make. I remember my mother used to make these, but not exactly the same way. This is an easy version, less sweet with a perfect crunch on the outside and silky soft inside. With just few common ingredients, and while you have your tea brewing on one side, you can make these and ready to enjoy along with tea. Lets see how its done. Step by step pics uploaded. 

See Notes **
Yields: About 10 
Ingredients: 

  • 1/2 cup Rava 
  • 1/2 cup Sugar**
  • 2-3 cardamom pods crushed
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp Cornflour or rice flour
  • Oil for frying 
  • Ghee for greasing 
Method: 
  1. Take 1/2 cup rava along with 1/2 cup sugar in a bowl and mix well until well combined
  2. In a kadai/ pan add in 3/4 th cup water along with crushed cardamom pods and let it come to a boil
  3. Lower the flame and slowly, gradually add in the rava-sugar mix
  4. Mix well till the water is all absorbed and its forms a soft dough (similar process to making Upma)
  5. Transfer it to another bowl and keep aside for 5 mins
  6. Once the mixture is slightly cool, add in cornflour or rice powder. **
  7. Mix well and using your hands form a smooth dough. I like to grease my palm with oil or ghee to avoid sticking. 
  8. Make small balls from the dough and flatten each into small size discs and keep aside
  9. Meanwhile heat oil in a kadai for frying. Make sure the oil is hot before you put the prepared Rava Discs in for frying. 
  10. Fry 2 or 3 together and serve hot with evening tea/chai 
Notes: 
  • You can reduce the sugar as per your need. If you don't like too sweet then I recommend adding 1/4 cup or 4 tbsp. My son prefers little sweet hence I added 1/2 cup 
  • If you have corn flour it is best to use that. But if you do not have you can add rice flour. It helps in binding all this together
  • Make sure the oil is nice and hot before frying. If its too hot, reduce and make. Remember the rava is already cooked, it just needs to be fried, so won't take too long.

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
