Thengai Podi/Coconut Podi



Today's recipe for cooking from cook book challenge is simple thengai/coconut podi which I noted down from my friend.
Thengai podi is flavorful and easy to make,can be mixed with rice along a dash of ghee or an accompaniment for idly.
This podi is often sprinkled in dry vegetable curries and kootu for extra taste and fresh and flavor.This podi stays fresh for a week to 10 days if its stored in an air tight container in room temperature.
Here I used the desiccated coconut  but it can be replaced with fresh grated coconut also,with no further delay lets move on to the recipe...............................

Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
