Ranjis flavours: பச்சரிசி தோசை /Pacharisi Dosai / Raw Rice Dosai


Ingredients: பச்சரிசி / Raw rice - 3 cups உளுத்தம்பருப்பு / Split black gram / Ulad Dal - 1 1/4 cups வெந்தயம் / Fenugreek / Methi - 3/4 tsp உப்பு / Salt - To taste எண்ணை / Oil - To make dosa Method: Wash raw rice , Black gram , fenugreek seeds and soak separately in water. Fenugreek to be soaked for longer time to get soaked nicely. Rice and black gram can be soaked for 2 hrs. Grind raw rice separately to a (fine paste) batter in mixer or wet grinder. Grind black gram and fenugreek nicely so that it becomes nice fluffy consistency. Mix all these with salt nicely and keep. Previous day we have to do all this grinding , so that next day morning we can make dosa with this batter. Heat Dosa Tawa , apply little oil with some cloth and spread oil throughout the Tawa. Take batter and spread on Tawa equally in round shape. Flip to the other side also. Keep the flame in medium and our soft Raw rice Dosa is ready. This dosa will not be crisp like our usual dosa ( which we make in boiled rice) and this is very soft. TIP: Those who make dosa in iron Tawa , first dosa will not come properly after cleaning. For that what u have to do is , put some oil in Tawa and add some mustard seeds and let it pops. Spread that throughout the Tawa with oil, and keep aside. (that can be used in any of ur cooking afterwards) When u do this, even your first dosa you can flip it nicely without any problem. We can make chutney for this with coconut 🥥, green chili, salt, and coriander leaves. Even Tomato 🍅 pickle or green chilli with salt we can make chutney. These all three will be nice combination including idly/ dosa chutney powder which I showed in my previous videos. Try this recipe and enjoy Ranjis Flavours!

ரைஸ் மோர்க்களி / Rice sour Kali / Mor kuzhu / Buttermilk rice cake





Ingredients: இட்லி அரிசி/Idly rice (OR) புழுங்கலரிசி/ Boiled rice-2 cup உப்பு/ Salt -To taste சிவப்பு மிளகாய்/Red chili 🌶-2 மோர் மிளகாய்/ Curd chili- 4 பெருங்காயம்/Asafoetida-1/2 tsp கருவேப்பிலை/Curry leaves-4 arc எண்ணை/oil - 6 to 7 tablespoon கடுகு/Mustard seeds-1 tsp உளுத்தம்பருப்பு/Black gram hdal -1 tsp Method: Option 1: Wash rice and soak it for 5 hrs. Grind the rice to a fine paste in mixer or grinder. Add salt and mix nicely. Keep the batter outside ( not in fridge) for 2 days. If it is summer period it will ferment within a day otherwise u have to keep outside for 2 days so that it becomes sour.Daily we have to mix it nicely and keep it. Heat oil in kadhai or pan ,add Mustard seeds. When it pops add black gram dal, red chili, curd chili,asafetida,and curry leaves. Add 3 1/2 cups of water to the batter till the batter becomes thin. Add that in kadhai and mix all ingredients nicely.As we have added curd salted chili to that we can add little according to your taste.Keep the mixture in medium flame and mix without stopping. Finally after all the batter cooked nicely it will not stick to the hand.Then switch off the flame and spread all in a creased plate. When it cools cut into square shape. Our buttermilk cakes are ready to eat. It is very tasty. Option 2: I am giving one more method for this. Instead of grinding the boiled rice/ idly rice ,we can use rice flour adding sour dahi or sour buttermilk and water to that and other procedures are same as above. This is a very traditional recipe of south India. Try this and share your comments with me and enjoy Ranjis Flavours!

பாலக் ரைஸ் / Palak Rice / Spinach Rice








Ingredients: பாலக் இலை/Palak leaves-1/2 kg பாசுமதி அரிசி/ Basmati rice-1 1/2 cups பன்னீர்/paneer- 125 grams வெங்காயம்/Onion - 2 முந்திரிப்பருப்பு/ Cashews -10 பச்சை மிளகாய்/ green chilli-5 இஞ்சி/ ginger - small peace (cut) 1 tsp பூண்டு/garlic - 10 எண்ணை/ oil - as per requirement சீரகப்பொடி/ cumin powder-1/2 tsp மஞ்சள்பொடி/turmeric powder-1/2 tsp மிளகாய்பொடி/ chilli powder- 1/2 tsp பட்டை/ cinnamon- small piece கிராம்பு/ cloves -3 பிரிஞ்சிஇலை/ brinji leaves -2 Method: Wash basmati rice and soak in water for 25 minutes.Soak cashews in water for 20 to 25 minutes. Grind cashews to a paste and keep aside. Grind Palak leaves and garlic to a fine paste and keep aside. Heat oil in Kadhai or pan. Add cinnamon,cloves ,and brinji leaves. After 2 minutes add onions, green chili’s,turmeric powder,chilli powder,cumin powder and sauté till onion becomes soft. Add 2 1/2 cups of water, and add rice , and paneer to that when water boils. Add cashews paste, Palak paste and salt.Mix nicely all ingredients and cover with a lid in medium flame for the rice to cook. After 4 to 5 minutes keep in a low flame and cook. In between open the lid and mix it again. After 10 minutes our Palak rice will be ready. Serve in a bowl with roasted cashews on top. U can prepare raita with onion and tomato as a best combination.Potato chip and raita are the best combination to Palak rice. Tips: Normally we keep water for basmati rice in 1:2 ratio. As we have made paste with cashew and Palak with atleast 1/2 a cup of water,we need only 2 1/2 cups do the rice to boil. While adding water one should be very careful otherwise rice will become squishy. Those who don’t like the smell of bay leaves and garlic they can skip that. While boiling the rice u have to keep the gas in medium flame for first 5 minutes and then in a low flame. Frequently u have to mix the rice in between.U can use pressure cooker also to cook the rice, but in that also the heat should be regulated and keep it for 1 or 2 whistles. “Connect with me” Leave your comments on this video and will get response OR you can connect with me on different social platforms too.
