Hayagreeva | Chana Dal Sweet Pudding
This is a traditional karnataka sweet which is prepared on special occasions or festivals.I never liked sweets as a kid,but things change after marriage.hmmm..As I rarely prepare sweets I started special liking for sweets these days.So,I scribbled lots of sweet recipes from my mom when I visited bangalore recently,which I want to try one by one.I need an occasion to prepare sweets and the right time is on festivals.As its Maha shivaratri today I did pooja and offered this sweet to god.My day started with this very simple sweet which is easy to prepare unlike the name which looks complex.
Ingredients:
1 Big cup chana dal(heaped)
1 Big cup grated jaggery(upto the level of cup)
1/2 cup grated dry coconut
1 tsp cardamon/elaichi powder
2 tbsp ghee
Method:
Pressure cook chana dal for 3 whistles and simmer it for 5 mins.Take care not to loose the shape of dal and drain water from it and slightly mash it.In a separate pan take jaggery and add some water(drained from chana dal) and cook until it becomes a syrupy liquid,add chana dal to it and cook for 2 minutes.Add grated coconut to it and cook until it reaches thick consistency.Add elaichi powder and to it and mix.cook it for a minute and remove from the flame.
As the dal itself is so nutty type,I personally don't like cashews in this sweet, so i avoided it.If you would like to add,fry the kaju pieces in ghee and add to the sweet.

Rajma Masala...Creamy but Low Cal Version!!
You ask any North Indian especially the people from Delhi about their comfort food,I am sure more than 90% would have answered Rajma-Chawal. Khichdi or rice-rasam is a comfort meal for south Indians and in the same way Rajma-chawal is a comfort meal for North Indians.I have never cooked or tasted Rajma before my marriage.I have tasted this for the first time at my friends place and was really impressed with it and also loved the taste of it.As hubby is a proper Delhi-te I had to learn this immediately and included in our weekly menu.Now even rajma -chawal is a comfortable meal for me as well as it is easy to cook and tasty also.But the only difference at my place is I pair it with Jeera chawal all the time as we both love this combo very much.I feel cooking North Indian meal is easier than cooking South Indian meal as the preparation time is less even though the cooking time is longer.I have mentioned a easy and simple process in the NOTES to cook tasty rajma,just have a look at it. Rajma tastes best with minimal spices,even if you avoid all the spices and just add chili powder it tastes wonderful.
Ingredients:
1 cup Rajma
2 tbsp whole urad
2 medium onion finely chopped or grated onion
3 medium tomatoes finely chopped
1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste
1 tsp Garam masala
1 tsp dhaniya powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp amchur powder
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1/2 cup milk
1/2 " cinnamon
1 bay leaf
1 green chilli
a pinch of hing
1/2 lemon squeezed
2 tsp oil and butter to serve
salt to taste
Method:
Ingredients:
1 cup Rajma
2 tbsp whole urad
2 medium onion finely chopped or grated onion
3 medium tomatoes finely chopped
1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste
1 tsp Garam masala
1 tsp dhaniya powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp amchur powder
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves
1/2 cup milk
1/2 " cinnamon
1 bay leaf
1 green chilli
a pinch of hing
1/2 lemon squeezed
2 tsp oil and butter to serve
salt to taste
Method:
- Soak Rajma and whole urad overnight in water with some salt. Add a pinch of garam masala to it and pressure cook on high for 2 whistles and keep the flame on low and cook for 25-30 mins.
- In a pan,take oil add cinnamon stick,bay leaf,green chilli and fry for a minute.Add a pinch of hing and also a pinch of garam masala powder and fry a bit.
- Grind tomatoes into a smooth puree.
- Add finely chopped or grated onions and fry until its soft,now add ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw smell disappears.
- Add tomato puree and fry until all the moisture is absorbed and then add all the dry masalas like red chili powder, dhaniya powder,cumin powder,garam masala,amchur powder and salt an dfry well.
- Add cooked rajma and mix everything and cover it and cook on a low flame for 12-15 mins.
- Now lower the flame and add milk and mix immediately and cook for a minute and turn off the stove.
- Add coriander leaves and lemon juice and give a stir.
- For a rich version replace milk by cream and also add a tbsp of butter after it is cooked.It gives a nice flavor to rajma.
- I generally do not cook rajma before and add to the tadka,I do everything in the cooker directly.The method is same as above I mentioned just that I add soaked rajma and urad instead of cooked rajma after frying all the masalas and then pressure cook for 1 whistle and cook on low flame for 35-40 mins.This will ensure rajma to soak in all the flavors and becomes extremely soft and creamy.After removing the lid add milk and boil for a minute and add lemon juice and coriander at the end.
Mallige Idli
Soft and fluffy Idlis with coconut chutney is a great combination and is perfect for breakfast.Idli is a staple breakfast in many south Indian house holds and making a perfect Idli is an art which even an expert cook might fail to make perfect idlis.I have written almost 10 to 15 different types of measurements for idlis in my cookbook.But,this is a no-risk Idli recipe which you can can try blindly and still yield perfect results.In fact the batter is so versatile that you can prepare thin and crisp dosas with it.
'Mallige' means jasmine flower,these idlis turn out as soft and white as them and hence these idlis are names as 'Mallige Idli'.You can use the same batter and prepare Paper dosa,check it out here.Check out few Idli varieties and their variations using the basic Idli batter here..
- Kanchipuram(Kanchi) Idli | Spicy Idli
- Khara Idli / Onion Masala Idli
- Idli Recipe Using Idli Rava
- Mallige Idli
- Idli Upma - using left over Idlis
- Masala Idli Fries
- Tri Color Cocktail Idlis
Mallige Idli Recipe:
4 cups Idli rice(Salem rice)
1 cup round white Urad dal
1 cup(levelled) Poha(Atukulu)
2 tbsp Curd
1 handful of cooked Rice(optional)
pinch of Soda bicarb(optional)
Salt,to taste
Method:
- Soak rice for 5-6 hrs and urad dal and poha separately for 2 hrs.
- Gring urad dal to a smooth paste and remove the batter, now grind rice and poha together to a very smooth batter by adding dahi,cooked rice and required water.
- Mix both the batters with your hand and add enough salt and mix everything properly and let it ferment overnight or for 8-9 hrs.
- Scoop out required portion of batter and add cooking soda (mixed with 1 spoon of water) and mix thoroughly.
- Grease the idli plates with oil and pour a ladle of idli batter until each impression is filled 3/4th.You can even line it with a wet muslin cloth and pour the batter on top of it.
- Steam it in idli steamer or pressure cooker(with out whistle) for 10-12 mins.Let it rest for another 5 mins.
- With a idli spoon cleanly remove the idlis.Dip the idli spoon in water in between which helps to remove the idlis easily from the plate.If you have used muslin cloth just invert them into the hot box.
- Keep them in hot box or serve directly on to a plate.Always serve idlis hot.
Serve it hot with coconut chutney/Tomato-Onion Chutney/allam pachadi/sambar.
Notes:
Note: This recipe is revisited and the photos are updated on 12/06/2013.
Notes:
- Use an air-tight container for storing the batter.I usually remove the batter into my tupperware container and cover it with a normal loose steel plate while it is fermenting and once it is fermented I cover it with a lid and refrigerate the batter,this way the batter will be fresh and does not turn sour.
- The idli batter turns sour quickly if you add salt while grinding the batter and that is the reason few add salt while making idlis.It is your wish to follow which way you want.
- I prefer to use whole urad dal,if you do not get it use regular ural dal(broken).But always use good quality fresh urad dal for preparing idlis.
- If you are using mixer you can use 3 cups of idli rice for 1 cup of urad dal for making idlis.Use cold water while grinding the batter in mixer as the batter tends to get heated while grinding in mixer.
- Once the batter is fermented do no stir it much which makes the batter looses its air bubbles and in return the idlis will not be softer.
- After 2-3 days the idlis might not turn soft with the same batter,you can add a fat pinch of cooking soda mixed with 2 tbsp water into the batter and mix it well and make idlis.Your idlis would be definitely soft.
- If your idli batter turn soar,try this Masala Idli which is a perfect fix for the sour idli batter.
- You can use the same batter for making paper thin crisp dosas.Add enough water to make the batter little thin and then spread the dosa as thin as possible.
Try these accompaniments for Idli:
- Andhra Nalla Karam
- Andhra Karapodi
- Coconut chutney
- Coconut Chutney with red chilies
- Coriander-Mint flavored Coconut Chutney
- Kobbari Karam
- Milagai Podi - Tamilnadu style
- Nalla Minumula Podi(Black lentils powder)
- Peanut Chutney
- Tomato-Onion Chutney
- Onion chutney
- Sambar - with freshly ground spices - Tiffin Sambar
- Sambar
