B A C H E L O R C O O K I N G

Take a pan/kadai , add jaggery water and bring it to boil.

Add grated coconut and let it cook for a few minutes.

Add rice rava, 2 tsp of ghee and water (2 1/2 cups) and pressure cook for 3 whistles.

After the pressure subsides, remove it, add the rest of the ghee and cardamom

powder.

Mix well and cook for 3-4 minutes. Thiruvathirai kali is ready.

Note- 1 1/2 cup jaggery was just perfect for my family, if you want more sweetness,

increase the quantity of jaggery.

Ezhukari Kootu (also called thalagam)Serves -5-6

This kootu is called Ezhukari Kootu as it must have a minimum of 7 vegetables out

of which mochai , pumpkin and ash gourd are very important for this kootu.

Ingredients needed

Mixed vegetables -4 cups

I used Mochai-1/4 cup (field beans), parangikkai (yellow pumpkin), poosanikkai

(ash gourd), chow chow , brinjal, beans, carrot, avarakkai (broad beans), potato.

Tur dal - 1/3 cup

Turmeric powder - 1 pinch

Tamarind - small gooseberry size ball

Fry and grind

Coriander seeds - 1 1/2 tsp

Bengal gram - 1 1/2 tsp

Hi Padhu,

We tried as per your recipe and both came out very well... Thanks for the

recipe.


Unknownsaid...

I tried your recipe and it was fantastic. My husvand's a tamilian so I have

never done anything like this before. I was kinda confused though while

reading if you meant cook the rava in Jaggery water.. I was nervous to put

Jaggery water in cooker so called my mother in law :))

But yeah, the recipe was really bang on. We all loved it including our 16moold daughter. So, thank you!
