South Indian Biryani Masala by Kuchi Mittai

-

 


What makes a South Indian Biryani so special is the special spices masala (which is shown in this video), various herbs and spices, the way they are mixed (ratio) and their aroma.

Most of us simply bought the ready made powders from the shops. But it lacks the freshness, aroma and the taste of the home made masala. Also the ready made masalas came with preservatives and additives and some even go to the level of adding artificial flavours and colours (i.e., chemicals). The biggest advantage of creating your own is that you can do it as you like. If you like more spicy you can add a little or vice versa. You can also add things to your own likings. The result is a fresh and spicy masala and in turn a wholesome tasty Biryani. This is my minimal and the simplest version of Biryani Spice Masala. You can add chilli and other ingredients to your own liking. Please share your feedback in the comments section. Thanks for watching.

Nowadays, we are getting very conscious about health and what we eat. We are loaded with information day by day and get crowded with them. So even if we know about certain super foods, we couldn’t give proper attention to them. Not only that, we are also accustomed to our old self and feel lazy to try out new things. Take Flax Seeds for example, we know about them. But we do not know how to include that in our meal or how to cook them or we simply do not want to try anything new with our busyness. I gave a lot of thought on this and tried to incorporate these super foods that are super healthy and also aids in weight loss in to our existing meals. One such is this Flax Seed Dosa. This is very simple and easy and less time consuming. You can simply grind the flax seed and add the powder to the dosa batter. The taste doesn’t differ much and you get the same crunchy dosa and you can enjoy it with Sambhar and Chutney. My preference is Peanut Coconut Chutney. You can see how to do my o...

  I wanted to cook in a Mud Pot for a long time, but never got the time to do that. Until recently my husband bought this Pot home. The first thing I've tried is this recipe. The Country Chicken Curry, our traditional one, which I got to know about from my Mom. There is a difference between cooking from Silver or non-stick utensils and Mud Pot. The flavor is unique in Mud Pot. One can say, it is "Man Vasanai". This curry is delicious, spicy and is suited for Rice, Khushka, Parotta and Chappathi.

Kerala Puttu AKA Steamed rice cake of Kerala is a quick snack full of delicacy with the famous flavors of Coconut Flakes of Kerala. It is served along with Kadala Curry for a typical breakfast. Rice Puttu with Kadala Curry is the most popular breakfast combination in Kerala. In my family we add sugar to the puttu and enjoy it. It is a very simple recipe that needs only two ingredients, Rice Flour and grated Coconut. There are different ways of doing it and this method is the simplest. But it need the Puttu Maker/Puttu Kudam/ Puttu Vessel. If you enjoy eating Puttu, you can invest a few bucks for this Puttu Maker which makes the process more simpler. You can also serve/eat Puttu with Chutneys or other curries based on your taste and preferences. The one thing I suggest when doing Puttu is that don't use ready made puttu flour. Instead you can use the simple rice flour or as I have done you can start it from the Rice and do it all yourself. This way the aroma and the taste is mo...
