KUTHIRAIVALI MURUNGA KEERAI ADAI | MILLET RECIPES

Kuthiraivali | Barnyard millet adai i tried for the first time few months back when i was making supplement book for Mangayar malar themed "Millet recipes". Murungakeerai | Drumstick leaves we generally make poriyal. My mom adds this to adai and we all are a great fan of murunga keerai adai. We have a murunga maram at our backyard from where we get fresh leaves and fresh drumstick (organic too) whenever we want. Even in the entire street they take drumstick leaves from our house. And during the drumstick season, amma will give drumsticks to all the friends as we get most and more of drumstick from the tree. Whenever i cook murngakeerai i have memories of my childhood related to it. I will be the person who will go to the terrace and pluck the fresh leaves from the tree for the adai or poriyal.
Kuthiraivali adai with murunga keerai was a wonderful combo and i had this for breakfast today with a glass of neer mor too. You can have adai with aviyal too.

Ragi | Finger millet flour, i made puttu with that for this morning breakfast. First i thought, i will click pictures and post today but morning it was hectic i couldn't click. While i was serving ragi puttu for my hubby, Varsha asked me what is this. I said it is Ragi puttu and explained her the health benefits of ragi flour as a typical mom, and told her to try a spoon of it. I remember my mom making this keepai puttu during our childhood days and we used to look forward for this one. When she had a bite she told it was tasting as chocolate. Even when i first tasted ragi cookies i felt the same too. As a typical teenager and a perfect foodie, Varsha told me why don't you try Ragi chocolate milkshake with this. Amazed with her idea when i was browsing in google, i saw in Priya have posted this ragi chocolate milkshake | Malt recipe. So i tried today ragi malt with chocolate chips.

03.13 | Label: Millet recipes, Paratha, Tiffin

Ragi also called as Kezhvaragu in tamil | Finger millet in English , is an easily available millet everywhere. Generally my mom makes puttu with ragi and also dosai and adai too. Though i have tried these all, wanted to try something new with ragi flour. This ragi aloo methi paratha i have tried for the mangayar malar book . Ragi is an excellent source of calcium and very good diabetics. It is a very good source of iron too. You can make this as a stuffed aloo paratha too.

Before making the khatta dhokla, add eno salt to this and mix well. The eno salt makes the batter airy and make the dhokla fluffy and soft. Add 1 tsp of oil to the batter.

Grease a plate with oil and add the batter to this. Sprinkle with red chili powder and jeera powder.

The dhoklas stayed soft for 3-4 hours.
If the yogurt is sour, add them just before making. If they are normal add while grinding and while when it is fermenting along with the batter, it will become sour.
If the sourness of the batter is less, add little lemon juice to this.

MILLET COOKIES RECIPES | EGGLESS THINAI COOKIES

03.09 | Label: Baking, Millet recipes

During my trip to India in December, i got millet flour packets from a near by store located nearby my in laws place. I was totally clueless what i am going to do with those flour packets and kept it in the freezer. Today when i was planning to make a Millet post, though i have many other recipe ideas using millets, baking with millet flour keep on lingering into my mind. So for the first time baked a cookies without following any recipe just put the ingredients according to my own imagination . It turned out truly perfect. I used Organic Naatu sakkarai in this recipe, but you can replace with jaggery or palm sugar too.

Millet cookies

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 15 Mins |Makes:8

Thinai Flour | Foxtail millet flour 1/2 cup
Naatu Sakkarai | Jaggery 2 tblsp
Oil 2 tbslp
Baking Powder 1/2 tsp
Baking soda a pinch
Milk 1 tblsp

Method:

In a wide bowl, add the millet flour, naatu sakkarai, oil, baking soda and baking powder.
Knead this into a smooth dough, sprinkle little milk for kneading.
Initially i thought the dough will not hold, but it beautifully folded and formed a dough.

If making in bulk, just keep the dough in the refrigerator and bake in batches. The jaggery | naatu sakkarai will make the dough loose if you keep it outside.
Take a small lemon size portion of dough and flatten them. You can use a cookie cutter to make proper round shapes.

Arrange them in a baking tray. Preheat the Oven at 150 degrees for 5 minutes.
Bake for 12- 15 minutes at 150 degrees.

The cookies were bit soft when i took it out. But when it is cool, it turned out very crispy.
Enjoy this healthy cookies with tea.

Notes:

I felt the sweetness was little less when i had the first bite, later when i finished one full cookies, i found it was perfect.
You can even reduce it to 1 and 1/2 tblsp too.
I have never tried this replacing with any other millet flour. Feel free to try.

Will share a savory millet cookies recipes soon.

METHI MUTHIA RECIPE| MILLET METHI MUTHIA |MILLET RECIPES

03.40 | Label: Millet recipes, Snack

Muthia is a healthy gujarathi snack, generally made with palak, methi, cabbage or lauki too. A diabetic friendly recipe and also no compromise in taste too. Generally to make this we use besan | kadalaimaavu and wheat flour. I used jowar flour and bajra flour to make this methi muthias. It turned so well and you can also replace the flours too if you want. Even you can use any millet flours to make this muthia. A very healthy and yummy snack which can be made easily. Try out this traditional gujarathi Methi muthia recipe. For buying millets in Singapore contact Bhairavi Naturals. They deliver good Organic Millets at your door steps .

Methi Muthia

Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 25 Mins |Serves: 2

Methi Leaves 1 cup (tightly packed)
Jowar Flour 2 tblsp
Bajra flour 3 tblsp
Baking soda a pinch
Red chili powder 3/4 tsp
Sugar 1 tsp
Salt as needed
Yogurt |curd 1 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Coconut grated 1 tsp
Coriander leaves to garnish
Sesame seeds 1/2 tsp
Oil 2 tsp
Mustard seeds 1/4 tsp

Method:

In a wide bowl, add the methi leaves (washed and cleaned) jowar flour, bajra flour, baking soda, red chili powder, sugar, salt and turmeric powder.
Add the yogurt and sprinkle little water and knead this into a soft dough. If you feel it is very watery add 1 tblsp of any of the flour.

Divide the dough into 2 or 3 equal parts like a log and grease an idli plate. Steam this for 20 minutes.
If you insert a clean tooth pick if it comes out clean it means the dough is perfectly steamed.

Once it is done allow this to cool completely. Once cool, cut them into small 1 inch roundels.
In a pan, add oil and mustard seeds and add the cut roundels. Let this become nice golden brown colour in a low flame. Add the sesame seeds and cook for some more time, for 7-10 minutes.

Garnish with coriander leaves and grated coconut.

Methi muthias are ready to serve. Serve hot with green chutney if you like. I just liked it as. A cup of chai will be a perfect combo with muthias.

Notes:

If you are making with cabbage or lauki just grate the vegetable and add salt and keep it aside. Squeeze the entire water nicely and then add instead of methi.
Instead of jowar flour and bajra flour you can add besan | kadalai maavu and wheat flour.
Palak also can be replaced with methi leaves.
Instead of red chili powder you can add freshly ground green chili and ginger.
