Carrot Payasam/Kheer(Microwave Method)

                                            Wishing you a Happy Tamil New Year and Vishu
Carrot payasam is a yet another simple,flavorful and delicious sweet which can be made in microwave oven as well as stove top.Today I am going to share the microwave method which I feel easy and convenient.Here follows the recipe...........

Ingredients

IngredientQuantity
Carrot(grated)1cup
Sugar1/2cup
Milk2cups
Evaporated Milk(optional)1/2cup
Condensed milk1/4cup
Cardamom/ellakai Powder1/2tsp
Ghee2tsp
Cashews(broken)1tbs
Pistachios(optional)for garnishing

Method
         
                            In a microwave safe bowl boil the milk for 8-10 minutes and fry the cashews in 1/2tsp of ghee,keep aside.
  • In another microwave safe bowl heat 1/2 tsp of ghee for a minute,then add the grated carrot and cook it for 2minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup of milk and cook it for 2 minutes or till it becomes soft.
  • Once the cooked carrot becomes cool put it in a blender and make it to a fine paste.In the same bowl heat a tsp of ghee and cook the ground carrots for 2minutes,stir in between.
  •  Then add the sugar and milk,cook it for 3-4 minutes.Now add the evaporated milk,condensed milk,boil it for 2-3minutes.
  • Finally add the roasted cashews and cardamom powder.
  • Serve it warm or cold.


Enjoy.......................

  • Adding evaporated milk is purely optional,if you r not using it can be substituted with regular milk.
  • Saffron can also be added for extra flavor.
  • If you want the kheer to be creamy and rich,grind 5-6 soaked almonds along with the carrots.
  • I used the cheese grater to grate the carrot which cooks faster.
  • Use a deep,wide mouth  microwave safe bowl to avoid spilling.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
