My Best of 2009!

Dance as if no one were watching, sing as if no one were listening and live every day as if it were your last.


Only 23 posts, spent most of my time hibernating this year. I am thankful to all my readers, fellow bloggers and my dear friends & family who encouraged me to post new recipes…..hoping to come up with more posts next year also plan to pay extra attention to my other hobbies as well… One surprising fact I have noticed is that I get more appreciation and comments for my baked goodies and other cuisine than for my traditional Kerala recipes :)

Some of my most appreciated Recipes this year are......

Night Sky Cookies


Badaami Tangri

Fish Molee

Doughnuts

One-Bowl Chocolate Buttermilk Cake

Dinner Roll Knots

Carrot Whisky

Allipidi






I have tried several recipes from other blogs and all of them were very good. Here are some of my favorites.

Rising Phulka from Kamala


Mango Yogurt Panna Cotta from Deeba

Purple Cabbage Salad from Elanas Pantry

Chocolate Truffles from Ria



Sending this to Srivalli's Best of 2009 event.


Wishing you all a New Year filled with new hope, new joy and new beginnings!!!

Avalose Unda

Avalose Unda- A traditional sweetened rice balls of Kerala!



Ingredients:

Avalose podi-2 1/2 cups
Cardamom (powdered)- 1/4 tsp
Vanilla Essence-1/4 tsp
Sugar-1 cup
Water- 1/2 cup
Lime Juice- 1 1/2 tsp

Method:

  • Mix sugar, water and lime juice in a bowl and keep aside for 8 hours or over night to soak.
  • Heat this mixture stirring continuously till we get a single thread consistency on tapping between thumb and forefinger quickly. (You should be very careful at this point not to over cook or the Avalose Unda will be very hard).
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla essence and cardamom powder.
  • Add 2 cups of avalose podi little by little mixing very well.
  • When it is warm enough to touch make lime size balls.
  • Coat these balls in the reserved 1/2 cup avalose podi, which helps to make perfect round shape and prevents stickiness.

Avalose podi / A Traditional Fried Rice Powder of Kerala!


Avalose podi, a traditional Kerala snack which can be eaten either by mixing little sugar and banana, or can be transformed into Avalose unda another famous snack of Kerala or Churuttu a famous delicacy of my home town!!! Avalose podi, an evening snack (nalumani palaharam) back home is very filling…and those days I preferred Meat puffs, Ethakka Vazhattiyathu, Ethakka Appam etc….But now after spending years away from home I do like to have this more often:) …So now when ever I go home my mom's sister makes this for me so that I can either eat it in a podi form or I can easily make Avalose Unda, one of my favorite snacks, without much hassles ;)… So the Avalose podi recipe here is from my Mom's sister…


Ingredients:
Raw Rice- 500gm
Grated Coconut- 3 cups
Cumin seeds/Jeerakom-2tsp
Salt- to taste

Method:
  • Soak the rice and powder coarsely.
  • Rub the coconut and the rice powder together and keep it for about one hour.
  • Place a big flat bottomed pan (uruly) on fire, put the cumin seeds, stir till they are fried and add the rice powder mixed with coconut.
  • Stir well all the time and when it starts turning the colour, lower the heat.
  • Remove when it is fried well (light brown colour).
  • Sift the powder through a coarse sieve and pound well the bigger pieces that are left.
  • Fry that again and mix with the fried avalose.
  • When cool, keep it in a tin tightly closed.
  • Avalose podi can be stored for almost a year if it is fried & stored well.

Dinner Roll Knots




Makes- 12

Ingredients:
300 ml/ 1/2 pint/ 1 1/4 cups lukewarm milk
50g/2 oz/1/4cup butter, at room temperature
5ml/1tsp caster (superfine) sugar
10ml/2tsp active dried yeast
1 egg yolk
10ml/2tsp salt
500-575g/5-5 1/2 cups strong white bread flour
1 egg beaten with 2tsp water, to glaze.
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling (optional)


Method:
  • In a large bowl, stir together the milk, butter, sugar and yeast. Leave for 15 minutes to dissolve and for the yeast to become frothy.
  • Stir in the egg yolk, slat and 275g/ 2 1/2 cups of flour. Add half the remaining flour and stir to obtain a soft dough.
  • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead, adding flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic. This will take about 10 minutes.
  • Place in a bowl, cover with clear film and leave in a warm place until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 1/2-2 hours.
  • Grease a baking sheet. Knock back (punch down) the dough with your fist and cut into 12 pieces the size of golf balls.
  • Roll each piece into a rope, twist to form a knot and place 2.5cm/1" apart on a prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1-1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Brush the knots with the egg glaze.(sprinkle over the poppy seeds, if using). Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Chocolate Truffles



Saw this recipe at Ria's Collection, originally from Joy of Baking

Ingredients:

8 ounces (227 grams) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, cut into small pieces

3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter

2 tablespoons alcohol (Cognac, brandy, Grand Marnier, kirsch, rum, bourbon, or Kahlua to name a few) (optional)


Different Coatings for Truffles:

Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder

Confectioners Sugar (Icing or Powdered)

Toasted and Chopped Nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts)

Toasted Coconut

Shaved Chocolate

Method:

  • Place the chopped chocolate in a medium sized stainless steel bowl. Set aside. Heat the cream and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Immediately pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk until smooth. If desired, add the liqueur (I used Rum). Cover and place in the refrigerator until the truffle mixture is firm (this will take several hours or overnight).
  • Place your coatings for the truffles on a plate. Remove the truffle mixture from the refrigerator. With your hands, or else a melon baller or small spoon form the chocolate into round or mis-shaped bite-sized balls. Immediately roll the truffle in the coating and place on a parchment lined baking sheet or tray. Cover and place in the refrigerator until firm. Truffles can be refrigerated for a couple of weeks or else frozen for a couple of months. Bring to room temperature before serving.
