Pineapple Sago Payasam

Sugar - 1/4 cup
Cardamom Powder - 1/2 tsp
Nuts and raisins - few
Ghee - 2 tbsp
water - For boiling sago.

For sugar Caramel:
sugar - 2 tbsp
Water- 1/4 cup

Method:
In a pan add 2 tbsp sugar and heat it.Watch the sugar getting melted and browned.  When it has reached the point of almost being burnt and when it is gently foaming and smoking, immediately remove it from the heat. Pour 1/4 cup warm water over the sugar slowly, little by little and stir. Heated sugar can splatter, and burn you very badly.Transfer it to aglass and keep aside.

Take chopped pineapple pieces in a pan add a tbsp of sugar to it, add 1/4 cup water and let it cook for a while till the pineapple pieces become soft without any water. Fry nuts and raisins in ghee and add to this.  keep aside.

Take enough water in a pan, add sago to it and cook it until soft.( If sago is soaked for 2-3 hours cooking time can be reduced. Drain the soaked water cook in sufficient water until soft). Switch off when it becomes transparent, drain all the water. Pour cold water over sago and set aside.

Add 1/2 liter milk to a pan and heat it up, simmer for 5mins. Now add Sago and sugar and boil again. You can see the milk has reduced in volume and also has a thick, creamy consistency. Switch off the flame and keep for cooling. Add cardamom powder to this.

Cool down completely then add cooked pineapple, nuts and raisins, give a quick stir.Also add Caramel syrup. If milk is not cooled there are chances of milk getting curdled while adding pineapple.

Vellayappam with white Aval (Version - 3)

Ingredients:

Raw rice- 2 Glass

White Aval (Beatened rice) - 1 glass

Yeast-1/4 tsp

Sugar- 3 tsp

Gingellyoil - for greasing the pan
Salt- to taste

Method:

Clean and Soak raw rice in water for 5-6 hrs. Soak white Aval ( beaten rice) 5 minutes before you are going to grind the batter.

In a mixie add strained aval, Sugar, and yeast. Grind all ingredients to a smooth batter. Add Raw rice and grind well. Add water and grind to make the batter watery.

Transfer the batter to vessal and keep the batter overnight.  Remember to keep the batter in a large enough container to rise. Morning you can see that the batter will be raised. 

Add salt and stir well. Keep appamchatti on the gas. You can use either nonstick pans or iron pans. I always prefer iron pans as the texture of the appams comes excellent in iron pans. Grease the appam chatti with gingelly oil. Pour a laddle of batter and Swirl the appam chatti anti clockwise by holding the ears of the appam chatti. While pouring batter keep flame high and then keep flame in medium.

Cover with the lid. Keep the flame in medium and once cook open the lid and remove appam from chatti.... Do not flip the appam over- it requires cooking only on one side.The sides should be crisped a bit and golden and the center should be a little ‘puffed’ up.

 Wow....entaaa mole appam.......... excellent soft appam is ready. Enjoy with kadala curry, stew....... etc etc....

Mor milagai / Thayir mulaku / kondattam mulaku / Sun dried chillies

Ingredients:

Green Chillies  - 250 gms

Curd -  250 gms

water - 1 cup

Salt -  4 tblsp or as needed

Method:

Clean the chillies well by soaking in water for few minutes. Do not remove the stalk. Stain water and keep chillies aside.

Whisk curd (you can use sour leftover curd also) add water, if too thick. Add salt and mix well.

Slit a little along side or at the bottom of the chilli. This is for salt and buttermilk ( mor) to get inside easily while soaking. Add slit chillies to the buttermilk, stir well and soak it overnight. 

Next day take out the chillies from butter milk and spread on a plate and dry in hot sun. Let it dry for the whole day.

By evening, again put the chillies back in the buttermilk, mix well and keep closed overnight. 

Next day, repeat the process......

Likewise, repeat drying until all the whole  buttermilk gets into the chillies. Then just keep drying the chilli alone in sun for few days in hot sun until the chillies are dried up completely. Number of days that it will take for drying depend on the heat of the sun.

Store in a closed container and fry when every needed... 

Heat enough oil and fry the chillies until deep dark brown. My brother like it blackened he says it tastes great that way :)

And there......its ready..... thair mulaku or mor millagai tastes excellent with rice or thair sadham....
