Nutty Nutty Groundnut Masala

During rainy season, I get tempted to eat a lot of hot, spicy, crunchy stuff, best fit for the weather out there.

On one such occasion, I prepared Groundnut masala and this is how I prepared it.

Take a kadai and fry the groundnuts without any oil. The colour of the groundnuts will change and they will become crunchy. Keep it aside and allow it to become cool. This can be stored in an airtight container so that it can be used later.

1 md cup crunchy groundnut,
grate 1/2 carrot
1 small onion finely chopped
2 md chilli finely chopped
1/2 tbspn lemon juice
2-3 strands of coriander finely chopped
salt
chilli pwdr

Mix all the above ingredients well and enjoy eating watching the weather outside or your favorite tv show.

Ragi... your the best

I wanted to start dieting seriously. I love eating rice and wanted to avoid it. The only food that would take major space in my tummy was Raji mudde.

I wanted to learn ragi mudde very badly and was consulting every other person. All of them who told me was confusing me and I did not want to take a risk and waste raji.

My maid, shared it in just 2steps and was just easy, and when I prepared it, it was just tooooooo good.

The ratio is 2 md cup of water and 1 & 1/2 (1.5) cup of raji.

Take a kadai and add 2 cups of water and bring it to boil. Now add a pinch of salt and 1 tspn of oil. Now add raji flour and start mixing it with water, preferable with a wodden spatual. Raji cooks faster, so just close the lid of the kadai for a min and its ready.

Wet your hands and bring it to the size, your ready to glup.

I enjoyed eating it with vegetable sambhar.

Tomatoes, Tomatoes.. your awesome....

The only vegetable that was in my house was ripe tomatoes, around 5 of them and I had to cook something that will finish all the tomatoes. So I gave a thought and decided to prepare tomato rasam and this is how I prepared it:

Wash and pressure cook all tomatoes with small tspn of oil and a pinch of turmuric. Once it's completely cooked, grind the tomatoes in a mixie.

Take a kadai and 2 tspn of oil. Once it's warm, add jeera, curry leaves and the entire tomato puree, add 1 tspn of coriander pwdr and chilli pwdr, 2 tspn of salt. Bring it to boil and garnish it with chopped coriander leaves.

Enjoy it like soup or eat it with hot rice. 

Akki Puriiiiiii......

It was 11am and was drizzling since early morning and I was extremely tempted to eat something hot and spicy. Something that's quick...

So I decided to prepare Akki Puri and this is how it was prepared it:

3 md cup of rice flour
1/2 tspn of maida
2 tspn of jeera
4-5 chillies (can increase if you want it to be more spicy)
1 tspn of salt
2md finely chopped onion
3-4 strands of mint leaves, finely chopped
3-4 strands of coriander leaves, finely chopped
5-6 curry leaves, finely chopped

Mix all the above ingredients, with water so that, small round balls can be made and deep fried in oil.

Enjoy eating with tomato sauce.
