Rice and Jaggery Pancakes(akki bellada Dosa)

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,

I am starting this post with my old statement : Events inspire me to try new things and sometime I try the old or traditional recipes for participating in the events.

AND I am very happy and thanks to my brother. He gifted me the camera. My new camera is SONY,DSC-W 570.(Review about the product is soon in my blog). So I can post my new recipes with new photos.

This Rice and Jaggery Pancake is not a new dish, but I never bothered to try it. When I visited many blogs, I came through this recipe. But every time, I used to read the method, loved the clicks and then forget.

and now, when there is my event going on which is guest hosted by Priya, I thought of trying this one. But I did not wanted to go through any recipes,  I wanted to rely on my memory and my version. And hey, I have good(not very good) memory. The pancakes I tried were just delicious. I checked the other blogs after I finished making, my preparation was almost the same but I had omitted few ingredients.

Coming to my version(it might be same in some other blogs too, but that is totally without my knowledge.)

Coming to the recipe,

Ingredients :

Rice(I used regular rice) - 1/2 cup

Jaggery - 1 cup or little less as per your taste

Cardamom - 1,peeled and crushed

Fresh coconut - 1/2 cup, grated or break into pieces.

Salt a pinch

Ghee to make the pancakes.(1/2 tsp for each pancake)

Method:

Soak the rice for 5 to 6 hours.

Drain and grind into coarse paste. In the last round add the grated coconut and cardamom and grind into fine paste.

Before the last round, add  the jaggery and grind one more round.

Remove and transfer the batter into a bowl.

You can start making the pan cakes immediately or even after keeping it for sometime.

Heat the dosa pan. Spread the batter into small and thick dosa.

Let it cook on low flame for half a minute. Turn it and cook on other side.

Spread 1/2 tsp of ghee on it, Remove and repeat with remaining batter.

I got 8 dosas with the qty I had taken.

Serve hot with pickle.

Fresh Coriander Tokku(Reposting)

Hi All,

I am on holidays, but I can  break my break and post if I wish. I am not able to post the new recipes, but definitely can repost my archived recipes.

So here I am with my one of favourite chutney and to be honest, I totally forgot about this. Today when I was reading a post on PJ's blog, I saw the event going on. I just digged my blog to get some recipes with coriander and I got this one. 

I posted this one in the year 2009 and I got only 7 comments. I hope you all will like this chutney and leave few more comments to make me happy, Arre!!! I am a senior blogger now :-) at least for that sake!!!

Jokes apart,

This is a real blessing when you are I mean your kitchen is out of fresh coconut.

Check the original post here.

Ingredients:

Fresh Coriander - 2 bunch, washed and cleaned

Dry red chilly - 4 to 6 (according the taste and the variety)

Methi seeds - 1 tsp

Jaggery - 2 tbsp

Salt to taste

For tempering,

Oil - 1 tbsp

Hing - a pinch

Method:

Dry roast the red chilly and methi seeds. When cold, add other ingredients and put in a mixie or blender to make fine paste. Adjust the seasoning.

Heat oil in small kadai, add mustard seeds. Off the stove and add hing. Add this to the ready paste.

The Fresh coriander tokku is ready to serve.

Hi All,
CHAK DE INDIA.... CONGRATULATIONS TO THE INDIAN TEAM AND ALL THE INDIANS. 
Coming about this post,

Here is the most awaiting round up of the event. 
When Pari asked me to choose this theme, I was hesitating to take it, as I was not sure about the entries I am going to get(This always happens with me :-)  ) But Pari was sure about you all. :-) 

And she was right.  I started getting entries from the day one I announced the event.AND I GOT 86 UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL RECIPES.
Now, it was my responsibility to check the entries and to check about their origin. As the event name itself is 'Only Original recipe', I had to follow the rules.

Tender Tamarind Leaves(Chintha Chiguru) Rice from  Padma's Recipes

and the last but not the least is from  A NON BLOGGER 

Jyothsna Rao, She has sent a recipe for Gobhi Paratha with a twist:

Ingredients

Stuffing:

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 cup grated cauliflower

1/2 cup finely chopped fenugreek leaves

1 tsp finely chopped ginger

1 tsp finely chopped garlic

4 green chillies finely chopped

2 tsp Olive oil

1 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

2 tsp coriander powder

1/2 tsp dry mango powder

Salt to taste

Heat 2 tsp olive oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, chopped ginger,garlic and green chillies. Fry it till they are slightly browned. Add in the finely chopped onions and fry them till they are slightly brown. Add in the finely chopped fenugreek leaves,coriander powder, turmeric powder, dry mango powder and salt to taste. Fry for a another minute. Add the grated cauliflower in to the pan.Fry for another 8 mins. Makesure there is no moisture in the mixture. Let the mixture cool.

For the Dough:

1 cup Curd/ buttermilk

1 tsp olive oil

One and a half cup whole wheat floor

Salt to taste

Mix in salt, olive oil and curd in a bowl. Add in the whole wheat flour and make the dough. Let it aside to rest for 15 mins.

To make the Paratha:

Olive oil to roast the paratha.

Make balls of the dough (of size of a big lemon). Roll the dough ball into small  circles ( about the size of your palm). Use the dry flour to roll easily. Fill in the stuffing and seal all sides with the dough (make sure the stuffing is cold). Roll this stuffed ball into circles of about 10 cm diameter.

Roast the paratha on a hot griddle. Apply about a tsp of olive oil and roast both sides.

Serve hot parathas  accompanied by pickle and curds.

I hope I have covered all the entries. Please do check if any entry is missing and let me know so that I can add it. It will be easy for me to choose the winner.
I want to thank all of you for participating and supporting me.


Keep Smiling,
