Ramadan Day 3

Day 3 i kept on thinking what should i cook because as my daughter was not fasting i didnt get any input form her! i just hate to think and think what to cook. At last i ended up on the banana as usual and some bread pakoras along with Malabar chicken curry and pathiris.

Sometimes i just wonder how people back in calicutat  dads and moms home used to cook so many things during Ramadan. All day they would be reading the Quran and by 3 pm everyone will be in this kitchen making something or the other. Well those are the joys of a joint family! Every time i go there its a totally different world and i find it very difficult to come out of it especially when we have lots of same age cousins and have a lot to catch up!

This is yet another Malabar speciality. During Ramadan there will be at least one banana snack item everyday. And I’m just used to having it here also so cant pass a day without a banana! Thank god we get the same banana here is Singapore other wise i would have been lost during Ramadan!

When i made this yesterday my hubby as usual was saying wow! i haven’t seen this since last Ramadan! (he says this when ever he sees any Malabar snack item!)

For this recipe you’ll need

2 ripe kerala bananas cut in small cubes

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk

10 cashew nuts crushed

sugar to taste (i used around 3 tbsps)

2 tsp oil

Heat oil in a non stick sauce pan and add the bananas. Fry it till brown.

Beat eggs, milk, sugar, cashew nuts  together and pour in to the banana.

Mix well and close the sauce pan.

Make sure the bottom doesnt get burned. I use a very thin metal plate to keep on top of the stove and keep the pan on it so that the things inside wont get burned.

Cook for around 10mts open and see whether its done. Serve hot!

Chocolate chip cookies are my kids favorite. They can eat up to 4-5 cookies in one shot.. LOL!  I make them often but before i can take a pic of these they will be finished! My daughter doesn’t even wait for them to cool down she loves them when its warm and the choco chip are meting! (Girls!)

So today a cozy saturday morning everyone are asleep i woke up early and decided to make some of these to surprise them. I could luciky make a batch before all of them woke up and finally take a pic of it!

This recipe is again form my favorite All Recipes And here is the recipe for the Chocolate chip cookies

The changes i made are – I added only 1 cup chocolate chips instead of 2. And i did not melt the chip. I added them straight away. This is a fool proof recipe. I really enjoyed making those.

My hubby is a big fan of cinnamon. So i keep on searching for baking recipes with loads and loads of cinnamon flavour. This recipe one came out perfect!

Now that i brought an electric oven i have been in a mood to bake n grill… so fa i made choc chip cookies and oatmeal cookies.. both of them have been so fast moving that i didn’t even have time to take a pic and post it! LOL!!

today morning i thought i would make some garlic bread.. But then i thought it would be very light so i decided to cover it up with some eggs.. (my friend Afroze’s idea) so that everyone will get some carb,proteins,fats etc all together!!!!
Blend 2 cloves of garlic, 2 tbsp of olive spread, 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 small bunch of parsley into a smooth paste.

2 hard boiled eggs cut into thin slices

2 slices of cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 180 C.

Cut the bread half and apply the blended paste on it. Top up with cheese and the eggs.. im sure kids are gonna love it!

When Meeta my Gujju friend used to talk about Egg Bhurji i always wonder what is it!! But it always slip from my mind to ask her the recipe. At last few weeks back i asked her how to make it.. when she started telling me the reicpe i iwas telling her that my egg masala! The only difference is i boil the eggs cut into pieces and add and she adds scrambled eggs!

Herez an easy recipe when u have no vegs or meat but only eggs at home!

2 large onions finely chopped
2 tomatoes finely chopped
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 tsp turmeric pwdr
1/2 tsp chili pwdr (add more or less as per ur taste)
1/4 tsp garam masala (optional)
little bit water
3 boiled eggs cut in to 6-8 pieces each
coriander and curry leaves – a handful
oil for sauteing
salt to taste

In a large pan saute the onions in oil. When they are brown add the ginger garlic paste and fry for 2-3 mts. Then add tomatoes to it. Mix them well when the oil starts to separate add the masalas to it. Mix well then add a little bit of water i added around 2-3 tbsps. And add the boiled eggs to it immediately. Mix again and close the lid for another 2-3 mts. Garnish curry and corriander leaves.

Serve with rotis!

Im reposting this entry for the Curry Mela hosted by Srivalli.. You rock girl!!!!

I love this one because its very easy to prepare and my kiddos loves it. So when im lost thinking what to cook i just make this because this goes well with all types of rotis! Today i made Neriya Pathiri and to go with it i made this egg curry.

This is how i made it. You’ll need

• 1/2 of a medium sized onion
• 1 cup coconut
• 2-3 shallots
• 2 eggs
• salt to taste
• 2 tbsp oil

1. Grind the coconut and shallots to a fine paste.
2. Heat up a Kadai or mud pot (we call a mud pot Chatti in malayalam)!
3. Add oil and then onions.
4. when the onions are light brown add the eggs and keep on stirring for 1 minute
5. Add the grinded coconut mixture and let it boil.

You can also add green chilies to it if you want to make it spicy but i dont do it because my kiddos dont like spicy.
