Oats Ragi ladoo

Yet another sweet prepared for Diwali. Health Tagline in mind, so again Oats, Ragi and Jaggery :)
This is such a wonderful ladoo, that you cannot stop in one, and guilt free because of its ingredients. 

Try out and see yourself !


Ingredients:
Oats - 2 cups
Ragi flour - 1 cup
Peanuts - 1/2 cup
Cashews  - 1/4 cup
Clove powder - 1 tsp
Cloves - 8 to 10
Raisins - 1/4 cup
Jaggery or brown sugar - 1 cup
Ghee - 1/2 cup


Method:

Dry roast oats and make a powder out of it. Dry roast ragi flour as well. Now roast peanuts and grind it also into a powder. A little bit of chunks is fine.
In a pan pour ghee and add all these powders. Add clove powder as well. Add jaggery powder or brown sugar and cook till it is melted and combined with the flours. 

Now add roasted or plain cashews and raisins and cloves. Sprinkle little water to make balls out of it. Try to roll when it is still hot. If it gets cooled down, the powders won't stick together. You can reheat in that case. 

Also be careful while sprinkling water. Add little just to help in binding.

Ayala Pollichathu - Mackerel roast in plantain leaves

This is yet another traditional Kerala recipe, in which fish is roasted in plantain leaves. There is a two step process in cooking fish, first by shallow frying and then roasted inside a plantain leaf covered with masalas. So my experience with pollichathu was with Karimeen alone until this time, my favorite fish, which is called Pearl spot in English. All these while I haven't tried any other fish for this recipe. So let me tell you the story of how Ayala came into picture :D This happened on one fine day, my mom in law was telling me that the women who brings fish has brought lots of Mackerel and many other fishes and convinced her to buy a lot of them. So she was in a confusion on what will we do with all these, as weekend was almost going to finish and everyone of us moving to different places. And the same curry or fry would be boring and won't be appreciated by the men's league at home :D Then I went for helping her with the fish dilemma, she was having and...

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what...

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out.  The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...
