  • Instead of cream 3 tbs of milk can be used but adding cream gives rich taste.
  • Use thick curd for the marination.

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