<div>
When I was working in a school (in Bengaluru), I tasted kosambari and Muskmelon (kharbuja) panaka on Sri Rama Navami Day. I liked them and they are quite different from our Rama Navami dishes. I have already posted what we make in Andhra and Telangana on Sri Rama Navami (vada pappu, panakam and pulihora or mango rice). I asked one of my ex-coleagues how to make kosambari and muskmelon panaka to share with you :)<br />
Let's see how to make them..<br />

Happy Holi :)<br />
Malpua is a dessert from North India. It is a deep fried pan cake that has been dipped in sugar syrup and is generally made with maida (all purpous flour) and mawa (koya) or suji. It can be served chilled or warm with rabri. I have made them with a few changes and they are delicious :) <br />

<br />
Happy Republic Day to all :)<br />
<br />
Mysore masala dosa is a popular dosa in Karnataka. I tasted this dosa for the first time at Raj restaurent in Singapore and liked it a lot. A few days ago, I made this dosa with fried gram dal chutney and mint chuteny. Looking at the colours of the chutneys, I felt like taking a picture (first one below). For this, I made a rectangular dosa and spread the fried gram dal chutney on the top part and mint chutney on the bottom part. In the middle, I spread chutney powder with a little ghee in a small circle.<br />

<b>For the dosa batter:</b> Soak one cup of skinned black gram, two cups of sona masuri rice and a quarter teaspoon of fenugreek seeds for four to six hours in sufficient water.

<b>Aloo Palya (potato stir fry):</b> Boil four medium sized potatoes, peel off their skins and mash them. Keep this aside. Chop one medium sized onion, two green chillies, coriander leaves and an inch of ginger into small pieces. In a pan, heat two tablespoons of oil and add mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add the chopped onion, green chilly and ginger. Fry them on a medium flame for two minutes and add the mashed potato. Add a pinch of turmeric powder, a pinch of red chilly powder, a quarter spoon of coriander powder and salt to taste. Mix it well and cook it for four minutes on a low flame while stirring in between. Garnish it with chopped coriannder leaves.<br />
<br />
<b>Fried gram dal chutney: </b>Soak three dry chillys in water for ten minutes and break them into pieces. Take a quarter cup of fried gram dal, a quarter teaspoon of cumin seeds, four garlic cloves and sufficient salt in a mixer jar and grind them into a paste using a little water. The chutney is now ready..<br />
<br />
<b>Mint Chutney:</b> Take half a cup of mint leaves, a quarter cup of chopped coriander leaves, a quarter teaspoon of cumin seeds, two cut green chilly, one tablespoon of lime juice and sufficient salt in a mixer jar. Blend them into a smooth paste. The mint chutney is now ready..<br />

Happy Pongal to all of you :)<br />
Goru meetilu is a sweet snack which will be liked by everyone. In my childhood, an aunty of mine from Rajahmundry used to make this sweet. Even though it's difficult to get these shapes perfectly, I have given it a try. Let's see the recipe now :) <span style="text-align: center;"> </span><br />

<h4>
<span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">What you need: </span></h4>
</div>
<div>
Mida-4 cups<br />

Sugar-2 cups<br />
Ghee-1/4 a cup<br />
Cardamom powder-1/4 a teaspoon<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"> Preparation:</span></span></h4>
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Sieve the maida in a wide bowl and add suji and melted ghee to it. Mix it well and make a tight dough using sufficient water. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Cover it and keep it aside for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into small balls. Take a ball and press it into an oval shape inside your fist. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Push it outwards by pressing down with your thumb nail and pushing up with your index finger. Goru means nail in Telugu. Since we are using a nail to get the shape, this sweet might be calling as goru meetilu :)</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Do like wise with the remaining balls of dough and deep fry them till they turn golden brown on a low to medium flame.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Boil the sugar in a vessel with sufficient water until it reaches into a soft ball consistency. Add cardamom powder and turn off the stove. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Now add the fried goru meetilu to the syrup and mix them well until they coated with the syrup all the sides. Allow them to dry and store them in an air tight container.</span></li>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Akki rotti is a dish from Karnataka which can be served as breakfast with chutney or palya (stir fry in Kannada). It can be prepared by using only rice flour or can be prepared by mixing rice flour with cooked rice. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">I made plain akki rottis for dinner and we had them with tomato dal and shenga hindi or groundnut chutney powder. They were tasty and yummy..</span></span><br />

I've wanted to prepare tomato pickle for a long time but I kept on postponing it because it is a long process. It depends on the climate, we need good sunshine to dry the tomato slices. Summer season is the best time to make this pickle and even tomatoes are less juicier in the summer. I asked my pinni (aunt) for the recipe of this pickle and followed her instructions.<br />
Let's see how I made this pickle..<br />

<b>Preparation:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Wash and wipe the tomatoes with a dry cloth. Cut them into thin slices and soak them in a glass bottle or jar or tupperware container after adding one tablespoon of turmeric powder and 1/4th cup of salt.</li>
<li>Soak them over night and the next morning, squeeze the tomato slices and dry them under the sun on a dry cloth. Wash and deseed the tamarind and add it to the tomato juice and dry it under the sun.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</li>
<li>In the evening, store the tomato slices and juice separately in your kitchen. The next day, dry them again under the hot sun.</li>
<li>Do like wise on the third day and now the dried tomato is ready to be pickled. Transfer half of the tomato slices and the juice and tamarind, chilly powder and 1/4 a cup of salt into a mixer jar or wet grinder. Grind it into a paste.</li>
<li>Now add the remaining dried tomato slices and garlic cloves and grind it for a few seconds in the mixer. Do not grind into a fine paste. Dry roast the fenugreek seeds and mustard seeds and allow them to cool down. </li>
<li>Grind them into a fine powder and mix it with the ground paste. Heat the oil in a pan and add split bengal gram, split black gram, broken dry chilly, mustard seeds, garlic cloves, cumin seeds and curry leaves one by one. </li>
<li>Fry them for a minute and add the ground tomato paste to it. Cook it for 1-2 minutes on a low flame. Turn off the stove and once it's cooled down, transfer it into an air tight bottle or jar.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Enjoy the sour and spicy tomato pickle with hot rice and ghee or with dosa or chapathis.</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Note:</b> Avoid using wet spoon in the pickle to give it a long life. It can stay preserved for 5-6 months, if you take good care of it. If you add less salt, the pickle may get spoilt. So enough salt should be added. Instead of seasoning the pickle at a time, you can season it little by little whenever you want. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">Purple cabbage is a good source of water-soluble vitamin C. From just one cup of raw cabbage, you'll get 67 percent of the vitamin C you need daily. Your immune system needs vitamin C to function well. We can also use purple cabbage in salads and burgers.</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> </span><br />

Thatte Idly is a breakfast dish from Karnataka. It is also called as Plate Idly (thatte means plate in Kannada). Generally they are served along with chutney, sambar or potato or mixed veg palya {palya means curry). I had thatte idly with sambar and chutney in an occation. I liked it a lot and wanted to give it a try at home. So I bought a thatte idly stand which is also useful for making idiyappam and dhokla.<br />
Let's see how to make them :)<br />

</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Dry roast the sesame seeds on a low flame until they turn light brown in colour. Allow them to cool and grease a plate with oil and keep it aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Melt the jaggery in a non stick pan or heavy bottomed vessel. Filter it using a stainless steel net and add the sugar. Boil it again to get a thick syrup. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Check the consistency of the syrup by dropping a drop of it in a bowl of water. It should form a hard ball.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Add the ghee, sesame seeds and cardamom powder to the syrup and mix it well.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Turn off the stove and pour this mixture onto the greased plate. Allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes Once it has dried, break it into pieces and store them in an air tight container.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"> Note: If you avoid filtering the melted jaggery, you may find sand in your chikki.</span></b></span><br />

<h4>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18.4px;"> Preparation:</span></span></h4>
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Sieve the flour into a large bowl and add baking powder, hot ghee and mix it well. Make a soft dough (like poori dough) by adding water a little by little.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Cover it with a wet cloth and leave it for half an hour. Kneed it well and divide the dough equally into four balls.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Roll two balls into big circles (not too thin) using a rolling pin and on one circle, apply the ghee and sprinkle the gram flour over the surface.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Cover it with another circle evenly and start rolling it upwards like a mat. You can refer to the picture. At the edge, wet with water and close firmly.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Now cut the tube into one inch pieces using a knife and keep aside the two uneven edges (from the top and bottom of the tube). You will see layers from the side view of each piece.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Press lightly on the top of each piece with your finger or rolling pin. Do not press them too hard, otherwise the shape will be ruined.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Boil the sugar in a heavy bottomed vessel and make a syrup of one string consistency. Add the cardamom powder and lemon juice to it and turn off the stove. Cover it with a lid.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Heat the oil in a pan or wok and fry 4 or 5 pieces of the dough on a low to medium flame.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Once they turn golden in colour, remove them and immerse in the syrup for 1-2 minutes until they absorb it. </span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Transfer them onto a large plate and allow them to dry and do like-wise with the rest of the dough.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Once they dry, store in an air tight container.You won't be able to resist eating them one by one :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="line-height: 18.4px;">Note: Avoid frying the kajalu on a high flame because they will not get cooked well on the inside. If you are making small circles, you can place three circles on each other and roll into a tube. Adding lemon juice prevents the crystallization of the sugar syrup.</span></b></span></div>
