    kadamba  Poriyal | mixed veg poriyal  | cabbage thengai curry | cabbage curry with step-by-step pictures and video recipe. Check out the Kadamba poriyal and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

     kadamba  Poriyal | mixed veg portal | cabbage thengai curry is a quick south Indian dry side dish recipe in Instant pot. Almond flour is used instead of coconut for this curry. This Vegan dry mixed vegetable side goes well with rice. Kadhamba curry can be made within 10 minutes and is perfect for busy mornings.

    My almond flour madness continues, but this time I did not make a sweet. Ever since I started buying Almond flour from Costco, I have been using almond flour a lot in cooking. Initially, I used it because I had a big packet in my pantry, but over a period of time I started using it regularly and my family didn’t feel much taste difference.

    One day when I made kadamba Poriyal   I took out the coconut from the freezer, but I was in a hurry to pack hubby’s lunch, so I used little almond flour and we all liked it. If used in a small quantity Almond flour is one great replacement for coconut in poriyal, Kootu, Sambar, kurma, etc.

    Baked carrot fries | Carrot fries are quick 15 minutes tasty after school snacks  for kids. Healthy and tasty way  to make kids eat carrots.

    Carrot is one vegetable which comes under top 5 least favorite veggies in my son’s list. I usually try to mix it with other veggies, and I hide carrots to make him eat. Most of the time even before tasting I would hear a big no from him. I always wonder how a kid with sweet tooth is a not a fan of a vegetable with mild touch of sweetness.

    Few weeks back when my son had a play date, I made sweet potato fries for the kids, and I saw them eating happily. That’s when I thought of trying carrot fries. If it works carrot might be the next broccoli for him. Yeah broccoli was another vegetable he never tasted, until baked broccoli was experimented. Now a days it has become one of his frequently wanted vegetable.

    Aromatic Dry Punjabi Chole is a easy side that can be prepared within 45 minutes. Pindi Channa tastes great with rice and roti.

    Few weeks back I received a sample of all natural homemade spice powders from “My spice Voyage”. Being a south Indian Amma prepares homemade Sambar powder, rasam powder etc. When it comes to gravy - spicy powder like garam masala, Channa masala etc. it is always store-bought.

    aloogobi

    Dhaba style Aloo Gobi fry | Potato cauliflower curry | resturant style Aloo gobhi curry | poriyal step-by-step pictures and video recipe. Check out the Potato Cauliflower curry video and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

    Aloo Gobi is a delicious dry Curry that can be prepared within 10 minutes. Potato cauliflower curry tastes good with rice and roti.

    Chopping cauliflower 

    I would recommend chopping them into small florets. Big ones might take longer time to cook. Too small ones might not retain the shape.

    Should I parboil cauliflower? 

    No, don't cook cauliflower in water. The curry turns flavorful only when cauliflower gets cooked in oil.

    Chopping potatoes

    I prefer wedges style cutting as it gets cooked faster.

    Should I drizzle water for cooking cauliflower? 

    I covered and cooked. The steam and moisture in the cauliflower were enough. If required sprinkle water

    Masala for curry

    You can use any masala of your choice. I kept it simple.

     

    Ingredients

    2 Potatoes, wedges

    1 Cauliflower small, cut florets

    Pinch of Sugar 

    1/2 tablespoon Kasthuri Methi

    To temper

    2 tablespoon Oil 

    1/2 teaspoon Cumin seed 

    How to make Aloo gobi fry with step-by-step pictures

    • Soak cauliflower in hot water with a pinch of turmeric powder

    • soak potato in cold water

    • Transfer both to a colander and drain the water completely 

    • In a pan add oil and once the oil is hot add cumin seeds; quickly mix 

    • Add the chopped garlic; roast well 

    • Add turmeric powder and chilli powder; quickly mix 

    • Add the cauliflower and potato; mix well to blend the masala

    Kaikuthal Arisi Idli | Dosai | Paniyaram

    March 14, 2018 By Vidya Srinivasan Leave a Comment

    KaiKuthal Arisi Idli | Dosai is a healthy South Indian breakfast prepared with Indian Kai kuthal Arisi. Super soft and fluffy KaiKuthal Arisi Idli is great for dinner too. Healthy South Indian tiffin varieties like Idli Dosai and Paniyaram can be prepared with the same batter.

    Today we had Karadaiyan Nombu at home and I made Uppu and Vella Adai. Morning made a batch for Pooja and evening I made one more batch for snacks. My son woke up from his nap and asked if I am making doughnuts? I was trying to explain to him that it is Adai, but finally, he convinced me and we both ended up making small jaggery doughnuts🤣 Kids have their own imagination.

    Coming back to my kaikuthal Arisi Idli recipe. Last summer I had some recipes in the draft and this is one among them. Today I made Kai kuthal Arisi Dosai for breakfast that’s when I realized I haven’t posted kaikuthal Arisi Idli recipe in my blog.

    I told about my Moong bean series in my Moong bean khichdi post but suddenly my laptop is not working and unfortunately I took backup only in my laptop, hoping it starts working again. I thought I will take a break but me and my break always happens for months together so this time I just want the momentum to go and decided to publish from phone. Let’s see how it goes😊

    Recently I have shared oven roasted broccoli fry in my Instagram post as a side for a Biryani. Couple of friends asked step by step procedure. I have seen many people sharing recipes in IG stories but I haven’t shared it. With the thought of posting it in IG I took stepwise picture and broccoli picture in phone and now it has become my blog post😊
