Palak Puri(Poori) Recipe | Spinach Puri

Palak Puri Recipe
Poori is a deep fried flat bread that can be prepared using whole wheat flour & APF. Poori, Batura are my kids most favorite tiffin items but I rarely make it for them. Even though pooris are easy to make, I am lazy to do deep fry stuffs and will cook only to feed blog.  But the things are changing now, as my kids listing the menu to cook what today and what they like to have. And often Poori will be in their list, so this time it is Palak Puri/Spinach Puri. The little one was so much excited to see green colored puris and he loved it a lot. I also prepared Palak Rasam with the left over palak puree(I used a big bunch of palak to make puree) and that was super hit more than this palak puri. I wanted to make it again to share here as it tasted so good and healthy too.
Sometimes the simple things will turn out great in the kitchen and this palak puri is one such recipe. The color and flavor sure pleases everyone. For palak puree, I prepared the same way I used to do for Palak Paneer but you can also simply use the blanched spinach to make simple puree and mix it with wheat flour and make dough. I like to mildly spice up the puree with some ginger, garlic and green chilli. Here you go.,

Easy and simple way of making Chicken Biryani using Pressure Cooker / Pressure cooker chicken Biryani recipe with step by step photos.

Oats Paniyaram Recipe | Easy Oats Paniyaram Using Idli Batter | Left over Idli Batter Recipe Ideas

Oats Paniyaram Recipe
Oats paniyaram is an Instant recipe that can be prepared using some left over idli/dosa batter. This oats paniyaram is a healthy, yummy and filling dish that can be served for breakfast, dinner or a perfect after school snack for kids. Here, I used store bought oat flour but you can make it home easily by grinding the rolled oats or quick cooking oats in blender and add it to the recipe. It is good to include oats and other whole grains in your daily meal. Whole grains are rich in fiber and low in calories and also they helps to reduce blood cholesterol and aids in good digestion. I use oats, millets, legumes and lentils in my daily cooking along with veggies.
Oats Paniyaram is one such healthy recipe with great taste. To make it even more tasty and crispy I also added some semolina/sooji/rava and rice flour to the batter. This oats paniyaram is not only my kids' favorite V also loved it a lot. If you don't have paniyam pan/Appam pan or Aebleskiver pan no worries, you can use your tawa/griddle or any wide pan and make it as thick pancake or Oats Oothappam. I tried that too, oats oothappam turned out soft and yummy. Now off to the recipe.

Homemade Tomato Puree | How To Make Tomato Puree At Home | Homemade Tomato Puree Easy Method(Pressure Cooker Method)

How To Make Tomato Puree
Homemade Tomato Puree, Easy Pressure cooker method with step by step photos. Tomato Puree(sauce) is one of the basic and important ingredient for making any sauce-pizza sauce/pasta sauce, North Indian gravy like Malai Kofta Curry, Paneer Kolhapuri, Paneer Buterr Masala, sabzis, soups and many more recipes. Initially I was using canned Tomato puree more than the fresh tomatoes and then reduced the canned stuffs due to its preservatives and added artificial flavors.
If you have tomato puree in hand, you can make any Indian curry in no time. As the tomatoes are pre cooked and thick tomato puree/sauce tend to cook faster and can make any gravy and sabzis quickly. I saw this pre cooked Tomato Puree recipe in youtube and have tried it couple of times for my gravy/curry recipes. I felt this pressure cooker/pre cooked method is more easy and best than the usual way of making tomato puree by blanching the tomatoes then cooling in ice cold water and blending. Based on the tomato variety the color and texture of tomato puree varies. Here, I used vine tomatoes you can use roma tomatoes or campari tomatoes or any desired variety.

Kuzhambu Milagai Thool Recipe | Homemade Chilli Powder Recipe | Chilli Powder Recipe For South Indian Curry

Kuzhambu Milagai Thool Recipe
Kuzhambu Milagai Thool is nothing but a chilli powder mix with dal and other spices. For any south Indian dishes like Kuzhambu, Stir Fry/Varuval, Sambar, Poriyal this kuzhambu milagai thool is used traditionally and that gives unique taste, flavor and authentic touch to the dishes. I like to use kuzhambu Milagai thool for my south indian kuzhambu recipes instead of plain red chilli powder. But here, I do not find kuzhambu milagai thool  now-a-days, So I prepare it at home.

Last year when my Bil visited us, My Mom-in-law has sent few packets of fresh Homemade Milagai Thool & Dhaniya powder. She prepares such flavorful dhaniya & milagai thool like my Grand mom. This is my Mom-in-law's recipe, I got it for a small portion that stays for 1-2 months. She uses sun dried dry red chillies and dhaniya and roast only the other ingredients, but here sun drying method is not possible during winter season and that time I usually roast all the ingredients and grind it.
Kara Kuzhambu, Puli Kuzhambu, Egg Kuzhambu, Masal Kuzhambu, Varuval tastes good and flavorful when cooked using this Milagai thool instead of plain red chilli powder. If you want to taste authentic south Indian dishes then you must try it with this Milagai Thool. You can even use this chilli powder to make Sambar and all other day to day cooking except for North Indian Curry & Sabzis. For North Indian style gravy/sabzis you have to use plain chilli powder without other spices & lentils combo.

Not only as a snack, this onion pakoda makes a perfect side dish for any south Indian Variety rice, Rasam & Rice, Sambar Sadham etc.,I usually make Onion Pakora,north Indian style Pakora that is crispy and slightly soft texture. But this Onion Pakoda is crispy and crunchy ones that is similar to the ones we get in our Tea Kadai/Tea shops, Bakery Shops in Tamil Nadu. In salem(my home town), you can find this flavorful onion pakoda in any bakery shop, tea stall during noon & evening time. There are few bakery shops in Town area & Agraharam street where they prepare fresh pakoda every day. V is more fond of deep fried snacks and this onion pakoda is his most favorite of all snacks. But i rarely make it for him and I usually prepare the Pakoras/bajji kind of snack that is served with Chaat Chutneys or ketchup.

So this time, I prepared for him and to share it here on my blog. This Vengaya Pakoda doesn't require any dipping, crunchy and flavorful snack. Here,I used onions but you can also use cabbage to make Cabbage Pakoda, Spinach or any greens to make Keerai Pakoda. And Munthiri Pakoda with addition of Cashew nuts. I have already shared Cashew Almond Pakoda for kids, Bittergourd Pakoda/Pavakkai Pakoda really good snack for diabetic people.

Fish Finger Recipe
Today's recipe is a simple Kids friendly Fish Starter, Fish Finger both Deep fried & Baked Fish Finger version. Last month When I prepared Breadcrumbs with Homemade White Bread I immediately wanted to try some cutlet or Croquettes with it. But then I got to remember that got some King Fish Fillet at Whole Foods On weekend. So instead of cutlets, tried this easy Fish Finger recipe and it turned out great. My kids loved it a lot, they even liked the baked fillet too. I do not eat fish so I couldn't say about the taste but my kids thoroughly enjoyed it. You can add any spices to your taste or to your kids preference I mildly spiced the fish fillets and set it rest for 20-30 minutes. But you can fry or bake them immediately. Resting time definitely gives better flavor and taste to it.
Fish Finger are easy to make and can be served with ketchup or any kind of creamy or spicy dipping.

Methi Puri Recipe | Dried Methi(Kasoori Methi) Poori Recipe

Methi Poori Recipe
Methi Poori Recipe with step by step photos. Methi Poori is a deep fried whole wheat flat bread with Dried Methi leaves. My kids love pooris a lot but I cook it very rarely.

Kale Stir Fry | Kale Poriyal Recipe | Indian Kale Recipes

Kale Stir Fry
Kale or borecole (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of vegetables, wiki says. Kale is rich in Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium,  anit oxidants etc.,Most important health benefits of consuming Kale regularly helps in blood glucose control in Diabetes and also lowers the blood pressure. Though I cook Kale dishes often, never get a chance to click and share here.
Like Broccoli, Kale also suits well with Indian spices and Indian recipes. The taste of Kale Poriyal is similar to that Drumstick leaves Poriyal. Though the fresh kale has different flavor from Drumstick leaves, the cooked one tastes like Drumtick leaves. I love drumstick leaves recipes a lot, but I do not see here often. So, started using Kale in place of Drumstick leaves. This Kale Poriyal is a simple recipe and makes a perfect accompaniment for Rice & Rasam or with Curd Rice, Lemon Rice & Sambar Sadham. We had Kale Poriyal with plain rice, Brinjal Puli kuzhambu, Vazhakkai Varuval & Fresh Homemade Curd.

Mutton Korma Recipe | Mutton Kurma Recipe | Mutton Curry Recipe With Cashew Nut & Poppy seeds

Mutton Korma Recipe
I was caught with cold & sinus headache so I could  not able to post Kitchen Basics Recipe last weekend. I will try to be regular with my post in coming weekends. Now coming to today's recipe Mutton Kurma, Mutton Kurma is a mildly spiced flavorful and rich curry using Mutton-Cashew Nuts-Poppy seeds combo. After my own try with Kozhi Milagu Kuzhambu I got confident to try few Non-Veg recipes of my own. And this Mutton Korma is my own creation, keeping the vegetarian Kurma recipe in mind I tried the same with Mutton. Only thing I added extra was Yogurt. Addition of fresh yogurt/curd gives nice texture and taste to kurma. If you haven't tried Mutton curry recipe with yogurt, next time try to add couple of tbsp of yogurt and you will be surprised with the taste and texture of the curry. And along with Mutton I wanted to add some aloo/potato & peas too. But I don't have peas in hand, so added potatoes alone.
