Quinoa Payasam


Q is one such difficult letter to find out a Tamil recipe so decided to use a clause quick.But somehow I was not comfortable to use the clause.Finally made up my mind to use Quinoa and make payasam.
Since quinoa is not an Indian/Tamil ingredient,I added some moong dhal along with it.Also the addition of moong dhal makes the payasam more rich and tasty.
Couple of months back I made  payasam only with quinoa and regular milk with sugar.My son who loves sweet gave me a weird reaction after eating the sweet..But after making it along with moong dhal,everybody liked it.I made this payasam for the Tamil New Year,last week.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............                                                                                          ...
