Thattai / Nipattu

Diwali around the corner,after this pooja functions the process of making sweets and savories would gear up everywhere.There are lot of savories that capture the diwali season and one among them is thattai or nippatu.Nippatu is the name called around karnataka and also even around dharmapuri region,which belongs to Tamilnadu.But apart these places it's called as thattai within Tamilnadu.Thattai ,a  mild spicy savory is made with gram dal,rice and roasted dal.There are lots of varieties in making this.This is the one of the most tasty and honestly perfect savory.Its one of my favorite.During each diwali season my mother had never missed to make this wonderful savory.Its a little bit time consuming effort,by the result will be absolutely delicious.

This is my basic version which we usually make at home.For variations you could add broken peanuts also for even more crispness and also til seeds also.Make this healthy homemade snack at home and enjoy your festival.Am giving a small portion amount which yields about 12 to 18 thattai.You could double the quantity as per your need.

Ingredients

Yields - 12 to 18

Idli Rice - 1 Cup (Soaked for 2 hour)
Roatsed gram dal (powdered finely) - 3/4Cup (it may require more or less depending upon water in the batter)
Channa dal- 1 Tbsp (Soaked in water for 1 hour)
Red Chilly - 2 no's
Curry Leaves - few
Coconut slices - 1 Tbsp
Hing / Asafoetedia - 1/4 tsp
Salt - as needed
Oil - for frying

Method

• Soak the idli rice and channa dal in water for 2 hours and 1 hour respectively.After 2hours drain the rice from water and grind them along with red chillies and salt.Add little water and grind.Do not add water all at once.And keep aside the ground batter.

• Transfer the rice batter to a bowl.Add the soaked and drained channa dal.Add the sliced coconut bits,hing and curry leaves.Mix well And the add half the portion of gram dal powder and see that you get a soft dough.If needed you could even more dal powder.

• The dough consistency should be neither too hard nor to loose.Keep the dough ready.Take a polythene sheet.Keep some oil nearby.Apply oil to the polythene sheet.

• Heat oil in a pan aside.Take a small pinch from the dough ,make it a ball and keep it on the polythene sheet ,apply your fingers with little oil and make small disc shaped thattai out of it.Dip your fingers with oil and mildly tap it around to get the shape.You can 4 to 5 such small thattai in a single sheet.And once the oil is hot enough.(To check the oil temperature put a small dough it should pop up immediately after adding it to the oil) gently flip the thattai one by one and fry them.

• Turn the other side of the thattai once the one side is well cooked.Keep the flame in medium high.Once done transfer the thattai to a bowl and store them in an airtight container when its cooled down.

Notes

• You could use mixer or grinder for making the rice batter.Grinder would be a better option.

• In the middle of grinding process,check to the spiciness of the chilli in the batter.If you need more spicy add 1 or 2 chillies to the grinding batter.Salt is added for this purpose to find the correct spiciness.Without salt you could not judge the correct amount of spiciness.

• To make the roasted dal powder take the required amount of dal and grind in mixer.The dal should be finely done.Then sift the dal and keep aside.

• Once the dough is ready check to the salt and spiciness.These both should be little more extra in final dough,because the frying process will minimize the salt and spice.

• This stays good for more than 2 weeks.

Paal Bun / Jeera Bun

This is a very peculiar and not usually found in many sweet shops.Only few shops would make this ,and too, it would get sold in minutes.Its rarely found in city shops,in truth i haven't ever seen this major cities,but in village surrounded places you could find this bun very frequently.Just like donuts they are fried in oil and dipped in sugar syrup.This bun is so airy inside ,with a crystallized sugar coating outside.Just a one bite will never let you stop asking for one more.I have tasted this bun at my native place and to say, am a die hard fan for this paal bun.I have tried many times to recreate this recipe at my home but each time either the dough mixing will go wrong or my sugar syrup will go bad,after many attempts am finally up with this recipe and am so happy to make this recipe a success at last.

Also called as jeera bun in some places,where jeera is the sugar syrup.This bun is so soft and airy you could find this in the below pic.

Ingredients

Maida - 1 1/4 Cup
Fresh Curd - 1/8 Cup
Water - 1/8 Cup
Sugar - 1/8 Cup
Baking soda - 1/4 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Refined oil - 3 Tbsp + for frying

For Sugar Syrup 

Sugar - 2Cups
Water - 3/4 Cup

Method

• In a mixer add sugar and curd,mix it until the sugar gets dissolved and keep aside.In a vessel add curd-sugar,baking soda and,salt,water and mix well.Leave the mixture for atleast 15 minutes,you can find a frothy layer on top.Add the half of the oil and mix well and add the maida little by little and form a dough.

• If you find the dough to be too sticky add little amount of maida.The final dough should be loose and sticky.Finally add the remaining oil and cover the dough with a lid and leave aside for atleast 7 hours.Alternatively you could leave the dough overnight also.

• The next day you can start with making sugar syrup.Take the required sugar and water in a pan and boil for 5 to minutes or until you get a string consistency.You can check this by touching the sugar syrup between your index finger and thumb finger ,you can find a string/thread like structure,by that time you can switch off the flame and allow your sugar syrup to cool.Alternatively ,you can also check this without harming your fingers by taking a bowl filled with water.Then with the help of a spoon drip the syrup into the bowl if you find the syrup settling at the bottom of the bowl then its ready.You could see my syrup which has started forming crystals when it is getting cooled down.

• Take the dough,knead the dough by adding a tsp of oil and divide the dough into equal sized balls and with the help of the chapathi rolling pin,for small disc out of the balls with 1/8" thickness.Or just the thickness of a puri could do.

• In a pan add oil and heat it.Fry the small puri's in oil by turning it sides.And dip the fried buns in sugar syrup for 5 to 10 seconds only.Repeat to all the buns and keep them aside.You might see the sugar crystals on top the buns.

• Its ready to serve now.

Note

• Depending upon the flour it may require more or less quantity of maida while forming the dough,so try to keep atleast 1/2 cup of flour reserve.
• Once done try to consume it on the same day.

Mocha Marble Cake

This cake is absolutely a chocolicious treat  to my readers.Over a week i got bored in my kitchen i wanted to try out something new and since its been long time i baked any stuff ,i decided to bake.And what to bake ? this question revolved my head like anything...Then what to do ? I took my recipe collections to find out something interesting and ,finally sort out 3 cake recipes .I felt problematic in choosing the right recipe.If given a chance i would go out and work in my kitchen till late night to finish off the 3 bakes ...Really...Am enthusiastic towards baking!! .As am not good enough in selecting one from three ,so i left this duty of choosing a recipe to my dear H,and he selected this recipe. Initially i was not much impressed to start making this cake,since am not much impressed towards any chocolate cake I've ever tasted I am die hard person towards Chocolates,but not a chocolate cake fan ever before that.But all my opinions turned down after tasting the final slice. Omg ...really it was so impressing and i could taste the heavenly chocolaty flavor with this final glazing too.

I became a fan for Mocha flavor from now on!!.I guess the addition of chocolate bars enhanced the taste ,rather than a cocoa powder if added.To get the original flavor of this cake ,i suggest you to go with chocolate bars.And i think this cake could go places even for special occasions.Until tasting this cake i had a mindset of marble cakes coming under the category of  tea cake,but my conclusion was misunderstood and I've changed it ,that this marble cake could be used both as tea cake and celebration process.Agree !!! Readers please excuse me of not clicking the cake slice as I didn't get my perfect marbled effect..Since it was my first attempt in trying marble cake.I will update my perfect marbled effect the next time when i make this recipe.

Lets look into the baking method.

Ingredients

All Purpose Flour - 1 Cup (150 gms) (My 1 Cup measured to 150 gms)
Butter (softened at room temperature) - 1/2 Cup
Castor Sugar - 1/2 Cup (heap measurement)
Milk powder - 1/2 Cup
Eggs - 2 no
Instant Coffee Powder - 1/2 Tbsp
Chocolate - 28 gm (semi-sweet or dark compound,broken into small pieces)
Baking Powder - 3/4 tsp
Lukewarm Water /Milk - 3 Tbsp
Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp

For Chocolate Glaze

Chocolate - 60 gm (semi-sweet or dark compound,broken into small pieces)
Butter - 1 Tbsp
Water - 1 Tbsp

Method:

• Preheat Oven to 200°C / 390 ° F .Grease the pan with butter and dust with a little amount of all purpose flour ,or place you parchment/butter paper in the pan.Sieve the flour with baking powder and keep aside.
• In a Heatproof bowl take the broken chocolate bars along with the coffee powder,If you are using a microwave for melting the chocolate keep it 30 seconds first,at the end take them out and finely mix them break any unsolved chocolates and again keep it under 10 or 20 secondn.You should get the mocha in a running consistency.
• Alternatively you could follow this simple method if your oven is in preheat mode.Take a pan fill with water allow to boil ,when it starts boiling place your mocha mix kept in a heatproof bowl and mild keep on mixing until all the chocolate has solved and it reaches a flowing consistency.keep aside in a warm place.Note depending on the temperature in your place the melted mocha chocolate may again get hard.so better keep it under hot water .(My melted mocha started to get hard near the edges when i was about to mix half of the batter ,so keep in note to keep the mocha mix under hot water.)
• In a bowl add the softened butter and sugar and blend them for a while ,don't over do them ,else the butter would curdle.

• Add the milk powder and beat for few seconds.Then add the eggs and beat them until they are incorporated,say 1minute.Remove the blender.Take a wooden spoon / ladle,Add the flour, mildly fold the flour and ensure the batter is well mixed without any lumps.If you find the Batter to be thick add upto 3 Tbsp of warm water or milk.If not omit adding water./milk.

• Divide the batter into portions and add half of the batter to the mocha mix and bind them well.In the other half batter add vanilla essence and mix well.Take your pan ,place spoonfuls of the two batters alternatively.

• With the help of a skewer drag through to create a marble effect.Bake in the preheated oven under 200°C for 10 minutes and at 180°C for 20 minutes.Check for the cake by inserting a wooden skewer at the center,if it comes out clean then remove the cake from the oven allow to cool ,invert the cake tin and remove the cake .Place the cake under a wire rack to cool.

• For chocolate glazing ,place the broken chocolate bars,butter and water and keep under microwave for 30 - 40 seconds.The glaze should be free flowing.Immediately spread the glaze on the top and on the sides of the cake ,working quickly.Let it set .

• Serve once the glaze is set.

I welcome you all to try out this recipe and leave your beloved comments in my comment box .Thank you readers.

Potato Cheese Balls

Inspired by its name I decided to try it by myself in a simple way.I framed a picture of cheesey strands coming out of the potato balls in my mind...OMG.., my imagination tempted me more to get soon into this recipe.My process started soon,and all the things needed for making balls are ready and my cheese cubes are cut ...The one  lovely thing i liked much while making the potato chesese balls ,that's... stuffing the cheese cubes with mashed potato.I really enjoyed while covering the cheese with mashed stuff,also done it carefully.But when coming to frying stage i wanted to try it to be less caloried so i planed to shallow fry them using the paniyaram pan.This was so easy and you will get satisfied for using less amount of oil.Alternatively i tried half a portion of the balls deep frying, using the regular frying method.Compared to the taste,both tasted to be alike but personally i felt the balls fried using regular method was bit more tastier.But its left to you to choose the frying method.

 Cheese are always kids favorite at anytime and when presenting them in their most likely way ,makes them have more.This dish could be done under 30 minutes ,having all the things handy.Here i have used potato mash got from store,for reducing my work time.You can also boil potatoes,peel ,grate and mash them finely.My recipe goes like this...

Ingredients

Potato Mash - 1 Cup
Corn flour - 1/2 Tbsp
Chilli Powder - 1/2 Tbsp
Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tsp
Grated Garlic - 1 tsp (optional)
Cheese Cubes - 6 - 8 (cut them in cubes)
Maida - 3 Tbsp
Bread Crumbs - 1/2 Cup
Salt - as needed
Water - as needed

Method

• In a bowl add the potato mash,corn flour,chilli powder and ginger garlic paste and grated garlic and salt.If you are using fresh boiled and mashed potatoes no need to add water.If you are using store brought mash potato add upto 1/4 C water and leave it for few minutes and then manually mix all ingredients to get a dough.If you find the dough forming to be difficult add little bit of water,say 1 Tbsp at a time and mix it.Once you attain the dough make equal(small lemon size) sized balls out of the dough,Meanwhile in another bowl add maida and water to form a running consistency batter and in another bowl keep the breadcrumbs.

• Now take each balls and with help of your palm and fingers form a small cup and place the cubed cheese and gently cover the cheese with potato dough.Once you get a ball shape ,press firmly using your palm and keep it a plate.Do it for all the remaining balls.

• Then take each ball and dip it in the maida batter and coat with breadcrumbs.

Uzhuntha Kazhi

Uzhuntha Kazhi is a traditional dish of tamil's.Urad/Uzhuntha Kazhi is a very good source of energy that provides stamina and strength to our bones,and it is given esp to ladies and puberty attained girls to compensate the loss occured in their body.This food is a fullfilling food ,if you have 2 medium balls of uzhuntha kazhi that will make you feel full till the next meal.Gingely oil is added while making this kazhi which gives a nice aroma and taste ,as well as healthy nutrients.

All foods like made with Urad/Uzhunthu like ladoo,payasam,kanji,rice and this kazhi gives a good source of energy to humans.Instead of preferring fastfood menu's make this simple yet a healthy food at home atleast once in a month.

There is a preprocess in making this food,its a simple thing which does not consume much of your useful time.This is nothing but getting the flour ready for the dish.Its just simple.But the only thing for you is to ,grind them in your mixer or ,approach your nearby  flour mill.But once you get them ground as fine powder ,your 90% of work is finished.Happy now... 

Lets see how i made the flour,Readers please excuse me as i didnt click pics while making this flour.Just go through my instructions you will be able to make it yourself.

Ingredients Needed for making the flour:

Urad Dal - 2 Cups
Elaichi / cardamom - 3 no's
Dry Ginger Stick - 1" inch stiick - 1no

• Take 2 Cups of urad dal and dry roast in a heavy bottomed kadai.Roast them until all the dal has turned into golden brown color and transfer the dal to a wide plate and allow to cool.

• Next in the same kadai dry roast the cardamom and dry ginger for few seconds and transfer them to the same wide plate for cooling.(Alternatively if you have dry ginger powder,instea of the dry ginger stick, add about 1/4 tsp)

• If you prefer grinding in flour mill ,grind them once cooled,But if you do not have an option for flour mill nearby,no worries ,take your mixer and add the dal along with cardomom and dry ginger and grind them when they are warm enough.If you leave them completely cool then grinding would become a tedious process.So grind when they warm , grind atleast 3 times for getting a fine powder and finally sieve them and store it in an airtight container.For those who grnd through flour mill,no need to sieve the flour as it would be already fine powder.

• You can store this flour for 2 to 3 months ,if handled properly,ie use only dry spoon/cup to take the flour.

Now its over ,next is my kazhi recipe.

Ingredients 

Serves  - 2 

Urad/Uzhunthu Flour - 1 C
Gingely Oil - 1/4 C or as needed
Palm Jaggery - 1/2 C
Water - 1 C
Coconut pieces - few (optional)

Method

• Take the palm jaggery, pound them and add jaggery pieces to a vessel/kadai along with water and let it to boil.Once all the jaggery has been dissolved switch off flame and pass the jaggery syrup through a sieve to remove the dust and sand particles.

• In a heavy bottomed kadai add the jaggery syrup and let it boil .If you notice your syrup to be watery allow it to boil for sometime until it has thickned.Add some gingely oil while the syrup is boiling.

• Keep your flour ready nearby,Minimize the flame and add the flour and mix well.

• Add oil in between stiring the flour with  the syrup,Switch off the flame.No need to keep the flame on after adding all the flour.Mix well with the wooden ladle and add the remaining oil.No need to worry of lump formation ,you will get any lumps ,some illusion like lumps will appear.Just keep on mixing until the flour has well incorporated with the syrup.Finally you get a ball like consistency ,if you didnt get such an outcome dont worry ,you can stop it once all has mixed well.

• Close with a lid and once it reaches warm temperature .Apply some Gingely oil to your palms and make small balls out of them.Serve warm.You can eat along with coconut pieces ,it enhances the taste too.

• Serve Warm.You can also store in your refrigerator for 3 to 4 days for reheating and consuming it.
