Chinna Vengaya Thovayal/Shallots Chutney


Today is the day 5 of blogging marathon#16 and the recipe is going to be a spicy chutney made with shallots.This chutney is a perfect combo for idly and dosa,stays fresh for couple of weeks if it is refrigerated.
My mom uses the stone mortar to pound the shallots and the taste will be even more tastier.Here goes the recipe for the spicy chutney......



Ingredients


IngredientQuantity
Shallots/Chinna vengayam(peeled)25nos.

Red chilly/Varamilagai7-8nos.
Tamarinda big gooseberry size
Sesame Oil1/4cup
Curry leaves1 sprig
Mustard seeds/kadugu1/2tsp
Urad dhal/ullutham paruppu1tsp
Saltto taste


Method

  Put the red chillies,tamarind,garlic and salt in a mixie jar and grind it to a fine paste.
Then add the shallots to it and pulse it(no need to grind it to a fine paste)till everything gets blend well.
Heat the pan with oil,once the oil becomes hot add the mustard seeds,urad dhal and curry leaves.Now add the ground paste and fry it till the oil separates and becomes thick.
Serve it with idly.
 Enjoy............................

  • This chutney can also be made with regular onion also but tastes better with shallots.
  • Using sesame oil  is optional and it makes the chutney very tasty and flavorful.
  • Instead of red chillies,red chilly powder can be used. 
  • Do not grind the shallots to very fine paste. 
  • The oil(1/4 cup) used is necessary to maintain the freshness as well as balances the spiciness.

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............                                                                                          ...

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.
