Jeera Poli /Jeera Boli


We are entering the final week of Blogging Marathon #69 edition and this week is going to be an interesting theme with fewer ingredients.

I chose to share 4 ingredients recipe and for this theme the main ingredients to be 4.Any ingredient less than a teaspoon and garnishing cannot be considered.For day1,I am sharing a sweet recipe called jeera boli/poli,quiet popular in Madurai.

Jeera poli is simple yet easy to make sweet in which a fried poori is soaked in a jeera/sugar syrup and garnished.Hence the name Jeera Poli/boli. Garnishing the poli can be done with  chopped nuts and desiccated coconut.The garnishing is purely personal choice and availability of the ingredients.

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
