Kuthiraivali upma /Barnyard Millet Upma



Now a days millets are so common and many varieties of recipes are available in blogosphere.I too find kuthiraivali aka barnyard millet in Indian stores sold under the name Samo.Its widely used in North India and mostly eaten on fasting days.My blogger buddies Priya Srinivasan and Varada helped to confirm samo is barnyard millet.
According to Wiki there are other names to identify these seeds include Jhangora in Garhwal hills,Moria,Mario,Bhagar.
This millet tastes more like rice so I tried sweet pongal and upma out of it,will share the pongal recipe soon.
Coming to the upma I exactly followed the recipe how we make the arisi upma.My mom adds a small tomato for the rice upma so I tried it with tomato.This upma can be made without onion and tomato,off to the recipe....................................

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

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