hi friends,”RamadanMubarak”
Chatti pathiri or adukku pathiri is a very famous classic North Malabar snack usually made during Ramadan,actually a snack but heavier than a snack .There are two versions of chatti pathiri sweet and savory.Several times I made both version especially the sweet chatipathiri.I always prefer spicy food so I just decided to make the savory version….
Kozhi Ada is another Malabar special crispy delight.This traditional Malabar Moplah snack is a savory crisp pockets filled with chicken/meat.this super crunchy folded pockets are similar to samosas,but the filling and shape is different.the traditional kozhiada’s are really small….
chicken 65 is one of my favorite starters,this delicious, deep fried and spicy chicken dish originating from Chennai,South India as an entree or quick snack.There are so many variations of chicken 65 but the main ingredient is red chili.The origin of chicken 65 is a bit of confusing there are many different stories claiming its origins….
Hi lets say a warm hello to this delicious and aromatic Malabar Mutton Biriyani. Aromatic jeera rice with succulent pieces of mutton perfectly wrapped in aromatic herbs and spices .
Biriyani needs no introduction,A classic meal and very popular among all over India.Biriyani is a very tasty and aromatic meal perfect for any occasion.To day I am posting a typical Malabar style mutton biriyani recipe here.
Based on cooking method biriyani can classify in to two kachchi biriyani and pakki biriyani
Kachchi Biriyani
In the Kachchi biriyani marinated raw meat or poultry is cooking with raw rice.raw meat is layered with raw rice before being cooked. the marinade is yogurt based and aromatic. Traditionally kachchi biriyani is cooked in clay oven and the vessel is usually sealed with cooking dough to allow the biriyani to cook in its own steam and the sealed pot is not opened until the biriyani is ready to be served.
Pakki Biriyani
In pakki biriyani the meat is cooked before being layered with half cooked rice.Meat and rice are cooking separately then layering and cooking in a sealed vessel in slow fire.this method is called dum cooking and my Malabar biriyani is a typical Pakki biriyani.
Biriyani is basically a rice based dish,rice blended with meat or poultry.Biriyani is first introduced by Mughals in North India,Where as south Indian biriyani is highly influenced by the Arabs.Ingredients of biriyani may vary according to the type of meat used and the region biriyani is from.But mostly the rice is basmathi and meat is mutton or chicken.But in Kerala we are using a special rice called khyma or jeerakasala,its a special small grained fragrant rice.Malabar biriyani preparation is dum method the cooking vessel is sealing with dough and placing hot charcoal on top of the lid,then cooking in slow fire.
