Maharashtrian Cuisine--------Sabudana(sabakki,tapioca pearl,sagu) khichadi/uppma

This as i have labeled is Maharashtrian recipe.they prepare this dish during fasting.Its a very good source of starch.very good for kids,even1 year old kid can kid,its healthy.The important part in preparing this dish is that it should be soaked properly.If soaked too much ,then it will become sabudana paste and if soaked little then it will be hard(feels like not cooked properly).

My Friend sonali gave me some tips towards making the one,which is really helpful.so when last week i prepared this on Shivratri,i thought why not share this recipe with others,its really a different dish as not many people prepare this..Its really very simple,healthy and best for the evening snack too.

Ingredients:


1 cup sabudana(sagu)
1/2 cup peanuts
2 boiled potatoes
1 tsp cumin seeds
2-4 green chilies
1tbsp oil/ghee
curry leaves
1 tsp cashews
1-2 tbsp grated coconut
salt to taste
 1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp of lemon juice
coriander leaves

Method:
First soak sabudana,for this wash sabudana 2 times and drain all the water .then pour little water enough to just dipped,that is upto the mark sabudana is.soak it overnight.OR the other way of soaking it is wash and soak sabudana for 30 minutes and then drain completely and set aside for 8 hours.


Dry Roast peanuts and then remove skin and ground it into powder.Keep it ready ,diagonally cut green chilies ,finely cut coriander leaves and peeled and thinly made small potato slices .you can boil and add cook potatoes,but i prefer without.

Take a pan add oil or ghee ,then add jeera(you can add mustard too,but as i did it for fasting i add just cumin seeds),cashews,green chilies ,hing,curry leaves and coriander leaves .when jeer is light brown add cut potatoes and stir for 1 minutes.close the lid and let the potatoes cooked in that steam for 3-4 minutes,stirring in between.(you can use onions,peas and add turmeric,but as for fasting i don't put it and i liked khichadi the plain one)

Add or sprinkled little on the soaked sabudana before putting above.When potatoes are cooked add little salt ,sugar and stir for 1 minute.Now add the sabudana ,ground peanut and stir properly for 2 minutes so that it is mixed completely.

stirring in between let the sabudana to cook for 2 more minutes  and finally sprinkle lemon juice on it and mix thoroughly.garnish it with  dry grated coconut.eat with curd or plain it tastes good.

Huli Avalakki

                                                                     Huli Avalakki   Huli Avalakki is a very authentic dish of the kundapura district of Karnataka. It is usually prepared for special occasions. It's a tangy, sweet, and spicy recipe. It can be eaten hot or cold. In my mom's house in Mangalore, they prepare it in a slightly different style. This is a very favorite dish of my father-in-law and I learned it from my mother-in-law. She makes it very tasty. In our house too, my kids and husband love this recipe. My husband does prefer a little milder in the spice level from the usual style. I had made this recipe several times when I called my friends (ladies) for Haldi -kumkuma during Navratri times. It tastes very close to Gojju Avalaki which is famous in Mysore. It is usually prepared a...

My son also simply loves this dish so much that he finishes his food so fast whenever I cook it. Dal Makhani is a North Indian/Punjabi recipe cooked with whole black gram dal. Usually many dishes are made with Toor, Moong (Green gram), and Chana (Bengal gram) dal, but this is the one and only recipe made with whole black gram. It's a very healthy lentil and this recipe makes use of a lot of butter and cream as the...

Lilva/Avarekal Kachori

Lilva/Avrekal Kachori This is one of my favorite dishes as well as my kids'. Kachori traditionally is more famous with moong dal fillings but i personally love this one instead. I started making Kachori when we were in Warsaw. I explored many different types of Kachori and this is the one I like the most. My kids love this snack in their lunch boxes, and it is quite filling too. Kachori is more famous in the North and western part of India. Every region like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Uttar pradesh prepare in their own unique style. While preparing fillings, the spice we use can differ according to family preferences and taste. Note: The key for making Kachori is that the outer covering should be soft and crispy at the same time. For that, while making the dough, you should add ghee/oil and dry shift nicely with your hand. Secondly, while frying, you should fry slowly at a low-medium flame. Thirdly the fillings should be dry. Ingredients : For dough: 1 cup Maida/Al...
