Kothamalli Thuvayal / Cilantro Thuvayal / Coriander Leaves Thuvayal

After the overload of sweets and snacks for Deepavali, this week all we wanted to eat was some simple food. I had made this thuvayal for dinner from Meenakshi Ammal’s Cook and See book. This thuvayal was made out of necessity because accidentally I had bought two large bunch of cilantro and I had to use it before it went bad. Also I had plans to make dosais sometime during the week, so figured we could eat it with rice one day and eat the leftovers with Dosai. The bright vibrant green color got my kids eager to taste it especially my little one. If you like cilantro/coriander leaves then you would love this thuvayal. I had made it medium spicy, so if you like yours spicy add a couple of more red chilies. This is my post for this week’s cooking from a Cookbook challenge.

Preparation time – 5 mins Cooking time – 10 mins Difficulty level – easy

  Ingredients to make Kothamalli Thuvayal / Cilantro Thuvayal / Coriander Leaves Thuvayal – (serves 6)

Cilantro / coriander leaves – 1 large bunch Oil – 2 tsp Mustard seeds – ½ tsp Ullutham paruppu / urad dal/ black gram dal – 3 tsp Red chilies – 4 Asafetida – ¼ tsp Tamarind – marble size or ¼ tsp of tamarind paste Salt – to taste

Procedure to make Kothamalli Thuvayal / Cilantro Thuvayal / Coriander Leaves Thuvayal –

Discard the thick stems from the cilantro and wash them well. Make sure that you leave a little bit of the stem, because they have lots of flavor in them. Just remove the tough thick past of the stem. Drain it on a colander and keep it aside.

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds, Urad dal, red chilies and asafetida and fry it until the dal becomes golden brown.

Now add the washed cilantro and give it a quick stir. Turn off the flame right away. Do not fry/cook the cilantro because then it will lose its bright green color.

 Cover the pan and leave it for 10 mins. The cilantro will wilt in the heat left in the pan and at the same time will remain green.

Grind the fried ingredients with the tamarind and salt. Be sure to leave a little bit of the fried seasoning (mustard seeds and urad dal) to add it to the thuvayal later. Serve on top of hot rice with some gingelly oil or ghee. Also tastes great with dosai and idli.

Oatmeal Banana Whole Wheat Pancakes – Egg Less Pancake

New Post has been published on https://mycookingjourney.com/oatmeal-banana-whole-wheat-pancakes-egg

Oatmeal Banana Whole Wheat Pancakes – Egg Less Pancake

Oatmeal Banana Whole Wheat Pancakes

Weekends are pancake or waffle days. I love trying out different pancake recipes, but my most favorite would be the classic Pancake that I make. There are days (read most of the days), that I don’t have eggs and I needed to make an egg less version. Also I love the whole grain pancake texture and so try out any recipe that everyone in my family loves. My husband is not crazy about the whole wheat pancakes and says that he prefers the classic ones. Recently I had borrowed a book from the library called the Oatrageous Oatmeals and this is the recipe I tried from that book. The Oats Dosai that I made from this book was a big hit and so I thought this recipe might do the trick with the pancake as well.

I am very happy that I succeeded in my effort and even my little one happily munched on the pancake. This pancake closely resembled the Nei appam and was very flavorful. I topped it with some fresh strawberries and maple syrup and we were filled up for the entire morning.

This is my entry for Cooking from the Cook Book Challenge for Week 2.

Kerala Style Poosinikkai Kootu Curry

New Post has been published on https://mycookingjourney.com/kerala-style-poosinikkai-kootu-curry

Kerala Style Poosinikkai Kootu Curry

Finding poosinikkai (ash gourd or white pumpkin) is not very easy in many parts of US. I am very excited to have moved to where I am right now for this reason. I am able to find many Indian vegetables very easily here and have been cooking with them happily. Vellai poosinikkai or the white pumpkin is one such favorite vegetable for the whole family and we are very excited to be eating this every week.I have been out of the ‘Cooking from the cookbook challenge’ group for a while now and starting this year, I wanted to be more regular. Few of the frequently used recipes with the vellai poosinikkai are sambhar and kootu, but this week I wanted to make something a little different from the routine. When browsing through the cook books for some South Indian recipes, I saw this Kerala style kootu curry recipe in Classic Lunch recipes by Mallika Badrinath.

Since it is a Kerala special recipe, it is quite high on coconut and we just loved it. I had also made it a little spicy to be able to mix with rice and it was just perfect. The book did not have any picture of the recipe and hence I could not figure out the consistency of the dish. I made it more in the kootu consistency since I wanted to mix with rice and eat. When researching more on the internet about the dish, I learned that the consistency of the Poosinikkai Kootu is more like a curry (on the dry side). SO depending on how you want to serve it, adjust the consistency of the dish.

Preparation time – 10 minutes Cooking time – 40 minutes Difficulty level – easy

Ingredients to make Poosinikkai Kootu – Serves 4

White pumpkin – about 3 cups (diced)

Channa dal / Bengal gram dal – ½ cup

Turmeric powder – ½ tsp

Grated fresh coconut – 3 tbsp

Jaggery – about 1 tbsp

Salt – to taste

Coconut oil – 1 tbsp

Grind together –

Red chilies – 5

Cumin seeds – ½ tsp

Grated fresh coconut – ¼ cup

Oil – 1 tsp

For seasoning –

Coconut oil – 1 ½ tsp

Mustard seeds – 1 tsp

Ullutham paruppu / urad dal – 2 tsp

Curry leaves – few

Procedure to make Poosinikkai Kootu –

In a small pan, fry the red chilies and cumin seeds (mentioned under grind together) until aromatic and then add the coconut. Mix well and turn off the flame. Once it cools down a bit, grind it into a smooth paste and keep aside.

Boil the channa dal in enough water until it half cooked.

To this add the chopped poosinikkai and cook until the vegetable and the dal is completely cooked.

Add turmeric powder, salt and jaggery and cook for 3-4 more minutes.

Add the ground paste and cook for another 5 minutes.

In the meantime, heat about a tbsp of coconut oil and fry the grated fresh coconut (3 tbsp) in it until golden brown.

Add this to the simmering kootu curry.

Heat a little bit of coconut oil and add all the seasoning ingredients. Fry until aromatic and then add it to the kootu curry.

Serve with hot rice and ghee!
