Kathirikkai Kothsu | Brinjal Gothsu is a South Indian side dish | dip using eggplants|brinjals as a main ingredient to serve as a side dish for idli, dosa, pongal, etc. I like this gothsu with hot steaming idlies or with sponge dosas rather than with any other stuff. The recipe is quite simple; I made it simpler by using  pressure cooker. I prefer to prepare this “ÖPOS” brinjal kothsu  with  fresh, tender brinjals. I’ve used Vellore brinjals in this recipe which are soft, tender & fleshy.

Here we go for the recipe.
Recipe for Kathirikkai Kothsu | Brinjal Gothsu | Easy Gothsu Recipe:

  • Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
  • Salt to taste

For seasoning:
  • Oil – 1 tbsp
  • Mustard – 1 tsp
  • Jeera|Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves - few

Method:
  1. Wash brinjals and cut into small cubes. Transfer to a bowl with water.
  2. In a pressure cooker, heat oil and season with the items given “For seasoning”.
  3. Add green chilli and sauté for a minute.
  4. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté till it becomes translucent.
  5. Add the tomatoes and sauté till they become mushy.
  6. Add the brinjal and sauté  until the skin colour changes.
  7. Add the masala powders and mix everything well.
  8. Add the required salt and a cup of water.
  9. Close the lid and pressure cook for 4 whistles in simmer.
  10. Open the lid once the pressure subsides and mash the contents with a wooden masher.
  11. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Spicy, creamy kathirikai kothsu is ready to enjoy with hot steaming idlies.
Note:
  • Always use fresh, fleshy brinjals to get creamy gotsu.
  • If you prefer more tanginess in the dish, tamarind juice can be added at the end.
  • Mash the kothsu when it is hot.
  • I like to mash the kotsu coarse like the way shown in the pic.

Instant Murukku|Chakli using Idiyappam Flour| Easy Diwali Recipes

Murukku | Chakli is a traditional Indian snack made during festivals like Diwali, Krishna Jayanthi,etc I’m sure everyone has  nostalgic memories related to Deepavali sweets & savouries and one among them is murukku. Now-a-days, we too try to replicate things for festivals like our moms but it is very difficult to do everything from scratch as our moms & grand moms did those days. Ofcourse lot of readymade flours available to help us in this fast world. I don’t dare to buy those to do experiments. But readymade idiyappam flour is the one which I keep stock always for preparing idiyappam for our dinner. Once  I tried the murukkus  with idiyappam flour and they were so light, crisp & soft. From then on, I tried so many times with different brands & every time it came out well. It is a fool proof recipe, even the beginners can try without any fear.
Let us move on to the recipe!

Recipe for Murukku|Chakli using Idiyappam Flour| Easy Diwali Recipes:

Cuisine : Indian| South Indian
Category: Snack
Preparation time : 10 Minutes
Cooking time : 25 Minutes
yields  – 12-15 (medium size)
Ingredients:
  • Idiyappam Flour – 1 cup
  • Roasted gram dhal| Pottukadalai powder – ¼ cup
  • Butter (at room temperature) – 1 tsp
  • White sesame seeds  or Jeera – 1 tbsp
  • Salt  to taste
  • Oil – for frying
  • Water – as needed
Method:
  1. Heat 2 cups of water in a sauce pan.
  2. Dry muruku press with star hole and a flat laddle .Grease both with little oil and keep ready.
  3. In the mean time, heat oil in a broad kadai.
  4. Sieve idiyappam flour and transfer it into a mixing bowl.
  5. Powder pottukadalai in a mixer and sieve. Measure ¼ cup powder and add it to the idiyappam flour. Add salt and jeera|sesame seeds and mix everything well.
  6. Add butter and mix well with your hands. Then add hot water little by little and knead into a soft dough.
  7. Divide the dough into equal cylinders and place one in the murukku press. Squeeze the dough on the back of the greased ladle in circular pattern.
  8. Gently slide this into the hot oil and wait for 2 minutes.
  9. When you see the murukku becomes firm in texture, transfer it to the other side and cook till the oil sound stops. Take out and keep on the paper towel.
  10. Store in an air tight container once they completely cool.
Soft & crispy murukku is ready for Diwali!
Note:
  • Don’t add roasted gram dhal powder more than the quantity mentioned.
  • These murukkus tend to drink oil as we are adding hot water in the recipe. Keeping the chaklis on paper towel for sometime helps in draining the extra oil.
  • Don’t trun the murukkus as soon as you drop in the oil because that will make the murukku to break.
  • I’ve tried chaklis with these brands-“Priyam & Double Horse idiyappam flour”.
  • You can add chilli powder, asafoetida as per your choice.

Mutton Kheema Biryani | Minced Meat Biryani | Mutton Kaima Biryani

Mutton Kheema Biryani | Minced Meat Biryani | Mutton Kaima Biryani is a simple biryani recipe compared to other non-veg  biryani recipes yet with full of flavours. I love all types of biryani but coming to keema biryani, I’ve the feeling of each & every grain of rice has got the real taste of mutton, all because the minced meat  with the flavouring masala has got infused in the biryani rice so well.

This biryani  happened to be our weekend lunch those years when my son didn’t like to eat mutton pieces. I used to make this biryani quite often to make him eat goat meat.  After a long time, I’m preparing this biryani and as usual, it turned out awesome.
Recipe for Mutton Kheema Biryani | Minced Meat Biryani | Mutton Kaima Biryani:

Cuisine : Indian

Method:
  1. Wash mutton keema well with water, squeeze out the keema & keep aside.
  2. Take a pressure cooker, pour the oil and wait till the oil gets heated. Add the items given under “seasoning” one by one and wait until all these splutter to get the aroma from the seasoning.
  3. Add onion and Green chilli (just break into 2 or 3) and sauté well until the onion becomes translucent. Then add the ginger garlic  paste and sauté till the raw smell of the masala goes off.
  4. Add finely chopped tomato and add some salt so that the tomato will get cooked easily and sauté till the tomato gets mashed well.
  5. Then add all the masala powders and sauté till the oil oozes  out from the masala. Next, add curd and sauté well until the mixture gets glossy appearance.
  6. Then  add the mutton keema , sauté well,  add half portion of coriander  & mint leaves.
  7. Add required salt  and  a cup of water, close the lid and wait for  4  whistles and switch off.
  8. In the mean time, wash the seeraga samba rice and leave it as such after draining the water. It is sufficient if we do this part before 10 minutes of making biryani.
  9. Now open the pressure cooker, measure the keema gravy, add water so that the gravy+water =4 cups for 2 cups of rice and keep it aside.
  10. Transfer the above measure of gravy & water to a pressure pan & bring it to boil. When it boils add rice along with the balance coriander, mint leaves and  needed salt. You can check for spice also at this stage and you can add if needed. Drizzle ghee on top, if using.
  11. Close the lid and wait for 1 whistle, then simmer the flame for 3 minutes. Open the cooker after releasing the pressure slowly. Then follow the same procedure as we have done for other Biryani Recipes.
