Phenori / Sweet Satta

-
Phenori also called as Sweet Satta is a sweet dish prepared during special occasions specially during Diwali. My mom always used to  prepare it during Diwali and we kids used to finish all within a week. Personally, I am not a sweet lover but I can't stop eating Phenori. They are so yum, crispy and tasty.

 The procedure to prepare it looks difficult but is really not so. Try preparing little at first so that you get an idea how it tastes or how much difficult it is.

NOTE : 
  • Sugar Syrup can be used instead of Sugar powder.
  • Phenori should be fried properly else they will become soft.
  • You can sprinkle chiroti rawa  or rice flour to make them crispy.
  • Roll from center to the side. All the layers should be clearly visible. And avoid the centre from getting thin.
  • The number of layers can be 3,5 or 7.
  • The oil/ghee to fry should be medium hot and not too hot.

Preparation Time : 30 Minutes

Cooking Time : 5 Minutes

  • Take 5 poori's. Apply some ghee and sprinkle 1/2 tbsp of rice flour / chiroti rawa on first puri. Place the next one 1 inches from the edge of the first one, so as the second one will cover 2-3 part of the first poori. Repeat the same for all the other poori's.

Set Dosa is also called Mushti Polo in Konkani which means fistful. It is very popular in Karnataka where 2 dosa's sometimes 3 are served which are little thicker and smaller than masala dosa thus the name set dosa. You can find this dosa anywhere, be it in restaurants or road side stalls. Set Dosa are soft and very fluffy in texture. Do try it at least once. NOTE :  The  Vegetable Kurma   goes very well with Set dosa. Click on Vegetable Kurma to get it's recipe. Sambar is another side dish for Masala Dosa. Click here,  Sambar / Kolmbo  for it's recipe. Use the soaking water while grinding for proper fermentation. Adding salt to the batter will fasten the process of fermentation. Mixing the batter with hands will also help for faster fermentation due to presence of bacteria in hand. Set dosa is roasted only on one side. Eat it when hot. Keep the batter in the fridge if you are not making dosas immediately or if the batter is remaining so to use it the next day

Kulta Kadhi / Kulta Saar-Upkari / Horsegram Soup

This is a very famous Konkani dish high in proteins and thus very healthy. Very simple, tasty and easy recipe.  Kulithu means horse gram in Konkani and thus the name Kultha Kadhi/Soup. Goes well with plain rice. In Villages, the cattle's are fed with cooked horse gram and the water used to cook is used by the people as a soup. They also make a thick syrup of this by boiling for hours and store it. And later use it whenever needed. Some people call it as kultha saar-upkari which means gravy and a dry item of horse gram. They boil the horse gram in a water and then they separate the water and horsegram. The water separated will be seasoned with garlic and chilies and will be called saaru and the separated horse gram will be seasoned with garlic and chilly and this is called upkari. I prefer not to separate and have it together.  NOTE :   Can use yellow or old cucumber along with this. Can separate water and horse gram if needed. It is optional to soak horse gram. Some

Shavige Bath / Vermicelli Upma

This is a very famous and traditional dish of Karnataka especially Udupi. This dish is usually made out of rice vermicelli / shavige / thin noodles. It is a very simple and easy recipe. Best for lunch and breakfast. This dish has different variations. The color and ingredients like tomato, vegetables, lemon etc can be adjusted based on the availability. Can use any types of vegetables if available or can simply skip adding any vegetables to it. Similarly, people who likes it to be colorful and spicy can add turmeric and red chilly powder instead of green chilies. Thus, this dish can be either red, yellow or white in color. NOTE :   Number of green chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am using 5 as mine are not very  spicy. If you don't have lime water(Lemon juice) then use raw mango or tomato instead . Optional - Can use coriander leaves at the end to garnish. Can use even wheat vermicelli instead of rice vermicelli.  Vermicelli must be roasted properly else the upma

Chicken Ghee Roast

I had no idea how good this item was. We had first tasted this in a restaurant at Bangalore called Coast to Coast and we became a huge fan of it. We always wanted to eat more and more even though we were full. When I got married and moved to Singapore i felt bad as I was not able to have any more ghee roasts. So my husband bought some ghee roast ready made masala from a shop in mangalore. I prepared it once but was not satisfied. Therefore, I collected the ingredients information from the wrapper and some ingredients that my mom had suggested and few extra of my own. Finally after several tries now my husband has become a huge fan of my ghee roast and says that it is better than the restaurants one. My next goal is to make everybody eat this and allow them to decide if it is really that great !!. You try it and let me know :) NOTE : One can also try this with vegetables like baby corn,  baby potatoes. mushroom and any other vegetables of your wish instead of chicken. Gives you almo
