Karthigai Adai /Karthigai Milagu Adai /Arisi Thengai Adai



Today's recipe is an authentic adai made during Karthigai Deepam festival in certain households in Tamilnadu.
As we don't have the custom of making this adai during the festival never got a chance to make it.But I got tasted this one from my neighbor back in India.
Coming to the recipe,so many variations can be made and each household has their own recipe.
Some uses more dhal and less rice,some may use variety of dhals also uses some red chilly along with black pepper.This recipe also, I noted down from my neighbor who used to share this one for Karthigai Deepam..
Also the consistency of the batter needs to be on the thicker side..Here I used the ladle and spread it on the iron dosa pan.In some places a thick batter is made and pat on a banana leaf and transferred to the griddle and cooked.
This adai doesn't need any special accompaniments,tastes good as such.But traditionally butter and jaggery is served as it has black pepper.Off to the recipe.........

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
