Today's recipe is a very flavorful,delicious and creamy chicken curry which goes very well with roti and rice.As the name indicates,the fresh methi leaves are used to flavor the curry and the highlight of the recipe is the addition of coconut milk.Coconut milk gives a very nice taste and consistency now on to the recipe....

Method

  • Clean and cut the chicken to bite size pieces and to this add the ingredients given for marination.Mix it well and refrigerate for an hour or more.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet and add the cumin seeds,fennel,cloves and cinnamon.
  • Add the green chilly,onion and methi leaves,saute it till the onion gets transparent.
  • Then add the ginger&garlic paste and 1/24tsp of salt,cook it till the raw smell goes off.
  • Add the marinated chicken and saute it till it changes the color or 3-4 minutes.
  • To this add 1 cup of water and cook it covered in a medium flame for 7-8 minutes or till the chicken gets cooked completely.
  • Now to this add the coconut milk and cook it for only one boil and the chopped coriander leaves turn off the stove.
  • Finally add the lemon juice and mix it well.
  • Serve it after 2 hours with rice or roti to get the flavors incorporate well.
Enjoy.....................................................

  • Use of fresh methi give a nice flavor and aroma to the curry,do not use the kasoori methi as it changes the taste and flavor entirely.
  • I used the store bought coconut milk as it is really thick and gives a creamy texture.
  • The over night marination gives nice taste and the chicken will be juicy.
  • No tomato is added in this curry and adding the yogurt and lemon juice gives the tanginess to the curry.
  • Do not boil the curry after adding the coconut milk for a long time and add the lemon juice after turn off the flame.

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