<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Puli Inji, a sweet and sour pickle or sauce in an essential finger-licking side dish served as part of Kerala Sadya.This is a sweet and sour ginger pickle from Kerala where ginger is cooked in a sweet and tangy tamarind sauce.Though there are many side dishes prepared for sadya like avialy, Kootu Curry, Kaalan, Olan, Saambhar,pickle,etc... no sadya is served without puliy inji.This is the first dish which i will prepare a week before Onam comes....The first lick on this tangy sauce makes your taste buds stand up and enjoy your meal.This is awesome.Each home it is prepared in differently fried ginger , tamarind and jaggery being the stars of this dish. This comes in the category of 'thodu curry's. So do prepare this to have a complete authentic meal from Kerala.</span></i><b><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"></span></b><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Oh i am back from Kerala , after a small vacation... The weather there was so so lovely and moody... The rain was so beautiful ( I miss rains after being relocated to Bangalore)...I had a few posts in my drafts ... so let me start with those....</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Usually when you hear the name 'ROTTI', the picture that will come to your mind is the 'ROTI'S' we make. All of us make different kind of rotti's and innovate our own recipes. We usually make savory rottis, adding chopped onions, green chillies and curry leaves. Today i am sharing , a sweet version of the whole wheat rotti's using Kerala plantains . This was something i made , when my kids were small and they used to love this . I serve it with ghee and sugar for tea, when they are back from school. So recently when here was ripe plantain's i made it again for tea and they were like, mummy we still remember the taste and smell of this rotti. So i thought , why don't i share it with my bloggers.. so here goes the recipe.</span></i><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i>Tomato
or Thakkali Rasam is one of the soothing and comforting dish that
anybody can have during this rainy and chilling weather with some hot
rice. This is one of the simple rasam recipe that one can make.There are
different varieties of rasam, like pepper rasam, parippu rasam, puli
rasam , etc. It is usually made with tomato and tamarind. The sour and a
bit spicy taste of spices should be prominent in this dish.I don't like
making rasam with instant rasam powder, though it taste's good, but not
as we prepare with crushing and tempering.. It has a very unique <span style="font-size: small;">tastes</span>
of its own.</i></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Hi Friends,</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This is something i have not done on my blog, a "Product Review". When the </span></i><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">media manager </span></i>of Eastern Condiments contacted me through my contact form, i was surprised why me?, as i haven't done this before. So i thought why not?, as i am one of the "Loyal Consumer's" of Eastern products.The have a wide variety of products and i am a regular user of different products from Turmeric powder, Red chilly powder, Kashmiri chilly powder, Meat Masala, Chicken Masala etc. My new addiction is their Fish Masala, which has an exquisite flavour and taste in it. So i was happy to do a review for them and asked them to send me the products and it was almost 2 months i have been waiting for the courier. As there was no info from them i totally forgot about it. And just 3 days back to my surprise i received this parcel. Now that Eastern has concentrated to other South Indian other than Kerala.They have launched a few products with the ethnic taste of Karnataka.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I received a parcel containing one pack of Eastern Vangi Bhath Mix, Eastern Bisi Bele Bhath Mix and Eastern Puliyogare Masala.</span></i></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">My family likes the flavoured rices prepared in Karnataka,I have tried these masala's of a different brand, but Eastern being one among my favourites i was happy to try and serve these dishes to my family. We all know, every mother at home has a tendency to try out these instant powder's and mixes, as they come very handy. And each of the product had very well explained recipe behind the packet , which was easy and simple to follow.I prepared all the rice items , each with 2 cups of rice and served with onion raita and pappad.</span></i></div>

<span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Vangi bhath was the first masala i prepared, while opening itself the aroma of the coriander was so evident in the masala.I followed the packet instructions and came out good. Everyone liked it and the colour was very good. My husband liked it very much.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Next was the </span><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Bisi Bele Bhath mix, which usually is prepared in a mushy texture, i made it a normal texture.Oh!!! when i started to mix the masala, the main spice i could sense was cinnamon and clove. The taste was good and perfect,with all the spices added perfectly in quantity.This colour was quite less when i made it, may be because i change the texture and my son gave a thumps up for the recipe. I am giving an overall rating for this.</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">This was the most liked and thumps up from the whole family.I usually use gingely oil(ellanna/sesame oil) for puliyogare and used the same for preparing .Every spice was very much well balanced and the aroma and taste of tamarind was very prominent in the masala. This masala was very easy to prepare among the three.But i needed a bit more peanuts in them, that was missing and i added my own ...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DHQXoGrLhFc/U9YSjnxACaI/AAAAAAAASAc/iHlJv5oLH6o/s1600/20140726_142231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DHQXoGrLhFc/U9YSjnxACaI/AAAAAAAASAc/iHlJv5oLH6o/s1600/20140726_142231.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">Overall all ,three masala's mixes was very much enjoyed by my family as a one pot meal (Though i prepared a minimal quantity). I would definitely suggest, whoever loves to prepares these one pot meal should try these ethnic cuisines of Karnataka.I enjoyed my bit of taste, hope even your mailbox will also surprise with a mail from Eastern and deliver the aroma at your dining table.If not do buy each one and enjoy your meal ... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><i>Malabar cuisine is known for their rich,flavourful and exotic in all senses.Being from Malabar, i have tasted many for their recipes and have shared some of them like <a href="http://abowlofcurry.blogspot.com/2013/12/chatti-pathiri-layered-pathiri-indian.html" target="_blank">Chatti Pathiri</a>,<a href="http://abowlofcurry.blogspot.com/2013/11/kakkarotti-steamed-rice-dumplings-in.html" target="_blank">Kakkarotti</a> , <a href="http://abowlofcurry.blogspot.com/2013/11/pazham-nirachathu-stuffed-plantains.html" target="_blank">Pazham Nirachathu</a> , <a href="http://abowlofcurry.blogspot.com/2013/11/arikadukka-stuffed-mussels-malabar.html" target="_blank">Arikadukka </a>. Today i am sharing one of the famous and a perfect snack from Thalassery, which will melt in your mouth from the first bite, "Unnakkaya". The name and shape of the snack represents elongated "Cotton Pods". When we think of preparation feel it is a long process, but i would say even a bachelor who loves cooking can give it a try. The steamed plantain is filled with mixture lightly sauted coconut , sugar, scrambled egg, elachi powder in ghee called "Pandam" and deep fried in oil. If you don't like or use eggs you can avoid eggs and make it pure vegetarian. Over to the recipe... </i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Karimeen aka Pear Spot is the fish that is commonly found in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_backwaters" target="_blank">Kerala Backwaters</a> around Alapuzha, Kollam and Kottayam . Nowadays with the boom of tourism this fish has become the most popular fish in North Kerala. This is served in every other resorts, home stays and house boats. One among the delicacy that is served, is the Karimeen Pollichathu and Karimeen Moily. </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In my hometown Kannur , we don't used to get it much, but when we get i used to fry it in coconut oil after marinating the fish overnight with spicy crushed masalas. Now when i came to Bangalore, i have been seeing the fish in the market but never used to buy, thinking it is some other fish. But a few days back, one customer in the market overheard me and my husband talking in malayalam , he suddenly said..."buy that, it is our Karimeen, just fry it spicy with pepper masala".... My husband within seconds ordered for 1 Kg, before allowing him to complete his words....From then this fish has been a "King" in our fried seafood dishes...In Kerala , the fish and dish is quite expensive.. here in Karnataka , it is much cheaper.So we say, now that we have started buying it, it is sure gonna become expensive.. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Over to the recipe , today i am sharing a yet spicy <i>Karimeen Fry</i>. The cleaned and slit fish is marinated with spicy masala. Instead of normal chilly, i have used <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird%27s_eye_chili" target="_blank">Kaanthari Mulakku</a>(a spicier version, though looks small,tiny and cute, but very spicy and healthy, i have heard it lessens cholesterol </span><img alt="Smiley" src="http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-confused005.gif" /><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">)</span></div>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Soak the leaves in water for 10 to 15 minutes and wash under running water to remove the dirt if any. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Drain all the excess water and spread it on a paper. Leave it for half an hour so that all the water id dried off. (I usually dry all the leafy veggies like this, spread on a paper and dry under fan if in a hurry, so that no lumps are formed in the stir fry).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In a bowl mix gently with your hand muringayila/drumstick leaves , grated coconut, turmeric powder , red chilly powder, onion and salt. Keep for 10 minutes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Heat coconut oil /oil a kadai or pan and splutter mustard seeds. Add dry red chilly and curry leaves. Saute for a few seconds.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Now add the muringayila mixture to it. Stir and mix well. Sprinkle little water. Close the lid and cook on a low flame for a couple of minutes. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">After 5 minutes open the lid , you can see the leaves have reduced in quantity, so it is cooked.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Now cook for a couple of minutes opened , so that the moisture gets evaporated and the leaves are not soggy, stir it between.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Swtich off the flame.

<i><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I know the monsoon has started, and time has come to crave for Street Foods. Even though i love street food, served hot and spicy... but a BIG NO NO when it comes to oily foods... Once in a while i do enjoy having oily stuff... There will be a list of items mainly non veg dishes when it comes to Malabar, like Kallumakkai porichathu, parippu vada, pazham pori , ullivada.. and goes on.. Today i am sharing one of the famous street food that we get at Calicut beach...spicy Peas Mutta Fry. A very simple recipe with a very few ingredients. Cooked green peas with scrambled eggs sprinkled with pepper powder...and served hot.</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><i>I think the dish, <span style="color: #f6b26b;">Pappada Thoran</span> is not a usual vegetarian side dish everybody would prepare. This makes me nostalgic and reminds me of my vallyamma(mother's mother), though she was not a great cook , but whatever few dishes she makes was phenomenal...I miss her badly..and this is her recipe which i am sharing here today. This dish has a unique taste of its own.Mostly we eat pappad as pappad itself, but this dish has a blend of spices and coconut with deep fried pappadam's in it.It is after a long time i am making this.. Just made a little as i was not sure whether my kids would like, but the dish just vanished, before each one could ask for a second time. So over to the recipe... </i></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have used appalam here, as i couldn't get Kerala pappadam.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I made the pappad's in oven, but it will be much <span style="color: red;">tastier</span> if you fry it in oil.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Add pappad's only while serving, as they may become soggy if you mix earlier.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">If you would like to make it spicier you can add a pinch of pepper powder.</span></li>

It is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, but it is also celebrated widely on other days.This time in India, we are celebrating Father's Day on the 15th of this month.<br />So i want each of my fellow bloggers cook their father's special dish, be it a sweet/drink/main dish/ or any course they love eating or would love to taste. </span></div>

This is usually served with hot rice porridge/ kanji(as we in Kerala) and chutta pappadam,during the rainy season. Different kind of puzhukku are made like muthira puzhukku, mambayar puzhukku, thorava puzhukku kadal-kaaya puzhukku, chena-pachakkaya , kappa-meen puzhukku and goes on. So have a taste of this and do lemme know if ever you cook it.</i><br />
