Hi Ladies, We are going to celebrate Krishna Jayanthi next week. Here are some sweets and savories recipes which I usually prepare for this function. I wish you all a VERY VERY HAPPY KRISHNA JAYANTHI !
Salt Cheedai Ingredients: 1 cup rice flour ( wash rice, dry it and pound it) 3 tea spoons (fried and powdered) udad dal powder 2 sp butter 2 -3 tea sp. coconut a pinch asafoetida 1 sp seasome seeds salt to taste Oil to fry Method: Mix rice flour, udad powder, butter, salt, coconut,asafoetida and seasome seeds and mix well. Then slowly add water and mix well. Pinch the dough and make tiny little balls and spread on a cloth. Do all the dough and then start frying. Remove the 'fried salt cheedai' from the oil when they become golden brown. Note: clean seasame seeds well, if there is any mud in that the cheedai will bust. Butter will render the cheedai very crisp, so this is a must.
Butter Muruku Ingredients: 1 cup ( wash rice, dry it and pound it) 2 - 3 sp Butter 3 sp udad powder ( fried and powdered) 2 -3 tea sp. coconut a pinch asafoetida 1 sp cumin seeds salt to taste Oil to fry Method: Mix all the ingredients and make a soft dough with little water. In a cloth make murukus and after finishing all the dough, heat oil and start frying them. At a time you can put 4 to 5 murukus in the oil and remove them when they become golden brown. If you want to check the crispness just put one muruku on the flour, (dont through) just put , if it cracks in to many pieces, then it is good.:yes: Store it in a air tight container after it cools.
Thenkuzhal Ingredients: 4 cups ( wash rice, dry it and pound it) 5 -7 sp Butter 1 cup udad flour (raw) 1/4 spinch asafoetida 2 sp cumin seeds / thil seeds salt to taste Oil to fry Method: Mix all the ingredients well and make soft dough. Heat oil in a pan. Take 'Thenkuzhal achu' and put one hand full dough in that. Press on the hot oil, and make round 'thenkkuzhal'. Turn it once and wait for 2 min. or till it becomes golden brown. Check the crispness by puting one piece on the floor. Do all the dough and keep the 'Thenkuzhal' in a air tight container.
