Broccoli 65

     Nowadays, got bored of trying and even tasting broccoli stir fry. So decided to try a new dish using broccoli. Suddenly this idea flashed me, why not 65 with broccoli when its tried in cauliflower all the time. Hence this was excavated by my small brain. Here you go for the recipe.

ALL YOU NEED:

* Brocolli	1 Floret
Corn flour	2 spoons
Maida	1 spoon
Besan Flour	2 spoons
Kashmiri Chilly Powder	2 spoons
Salt	To taste
Oil	To deep fry

METHOD:
     Boil a pan of water, add the floret pieces and dip it into the hot water for a while. After 10 mins, drain the water completely. LEt it sit for another 5 mins. Take an another pan, mix all the items in "All you need" except oil and marinate with the floret pieces for 15 or 20 mins. Heat a frying pan by pouring required amount of oil and make a deep fry of the marinated broccoli in batches.

Note: I used medium sized broccoli which got around 10 pieces. Adjust the powder based on your broccoli size.

Pidi Kozhukattai

     This is an looted recipe from my MIL. When its a festival day either Pongal, Diwai or Tamil new year, this will definitely be there for our lunch. Till i forced myself to try this, i felt its a complex dish to try everythough i have seen the procedure plenty of times. But now, i just made this within 15 minutes and here comes for your views.

ALL YOU NEED:

Rice Flour	1/2 cups
Jaggery Powder	1/4 cup*
Cardomom	1 No.
Water	1 cup
Salt	Pinch
Coconut Flakes	5 spoons

METHOD:
     Sieve rice flour in a wide bowl and add coconut flakes. Let it sit for a while. Heat a pan, add powdered jaggery, water, cardomom and pinch salt, let it be in flame until jaggery gets dissolved. Once done, filter it in the sieved rice flour bowl, keep stirring it inbetween. Stir well, until it forms a dough by adding all the jaggery water. Now divide the dough into small roundels. Now take each roundels and press it in your palm gently which comes in oval shape. Once done, arrange all the oval shaped dough in a idly pot and steam it for 12 to 15 mins.

Note: *Jaggery ratio should be bit more than 1/4 cup or bit less than 1/2 cup.
