Today I am posting the link to some of my many songs recorded by Kannan. The following link contains a set of songs that Kannan recorded today. This is like a starter and I am sure I have a long way to go. :-)
Khatta Palak (Chukka Koora) Pacchadi
This particular dish is a hot favourite in our house and my hubby who actually dislikes greens, has totally fallen in love with it’s taste. ….so much so, that whenever I ask him what special do I make for you, he instantly tells me “Khatta Palak!” . I must add here that nothing can be more satisfying than seeing your loved one relish your food. . Posting the recipe right away…Do lemme know how it turns out… BTW I got to know of the recipe from a website hosted by Sailu. Here is the link.
Prep & Cooking: 15 mts
Serves 3-4 persons
Cuisine: Andhra
3-4 green chillis (adjust)
2 tsps cumin seeds
3-4 garlic cloves
For seasoning:
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (optional)
1 tsp split black gram dal (urad dal)
1 tsp channa dal – optional
1-2 dry red chillis
few fresh curry leaves
1 tsp oil
1 Heat one tsp oil in a pan, add green chillis and fry on medium heat for 3-4 mts. Remove from pan and cool.
2 In the same pan, add the chopped greens (drizzle some oil if necessary) and saute for approx 5 mts or till the leaves wilt and rawness disappears. Turn off heat and cool.
3 First grind the cumin seeds, garlic and sauted green chillis till almost coarse. Add this ground mixture and to the stir fried greens along with salt and combine well till it appears like a paste. (you can use your hands)
