Kerala Sambar With Coconut - Varutharacha Sambar Recipe – Onam Sadya Sambar Recipe

Kerala Varutharacha sambar recipe
This is the first time I prepared authentic, Kerala style Varutharacha sambar with coconut. This sambar is prepared without readymade sambar powder (Thrissur recipe). People call this as Onam sadya sambar. I have already tried Kerala ulli sambar, pressure cooker sambar and Varutharacha sambar recipe without coconut for my onam sadya menu earlier. 

Yesterday I made this thenga aracha sambar for our lunch following this recipe. The smell of roasted spices along with coconut takes this sambar to the next level.  The nice aroma of this sambar while cooking will surely tempt you to have the food quickly.Its a must try sambar recipe for Onam festival. But it needs a resting time of at least 30 minutes for all its flavor to blend well. I have used drumstick/muringa, onion/ulli and ladies finger/vendakkai. For variations, you can also use carrot, potato and even bottle gourd ( Kumbalanga in Malayalam). This sambar can also be made using sambar powder and roasted coconut. I will share that version later.

The ingredients used in this recipe is very similar to our Tamilnadu style Arachuvitta sambar except the quantity of coconut. Recently I tasted Onam sadya lunch menu in Kumarakom restaurant in HSR layout. It was a simple ona sadya yet tasted delicious. I loved their sambar, moru curry and sambaram the most. This sambar tasted close to the one I had in restaurant. 

Friends, do try this Kerala type sambar recipe for your lunch. I am sure you will make it more often. Lets see how to make Kerala Varutharacha sambar recipe with step by step photos.

Kerala Parippu Curry – Onam Sadya Parippu Curry Recipe

Kerala Parippu curry
Parippu Curry ( Cherupayar parippu curry in Malayalam, Split green gram dal @ moong dal curry in English) is the most important dish served in Kerala Onam Sadya. Its a very simple dish that can be made with easily available ingredients in a pressure cooker. Authentic Onasadya menu would begin with serving this parippu curry along with rice. I have been following this paruppu curry recipe from Vanitha Magazine since 2012 and prepare it for every Onam sadya. It comes out really well and flavorful. I saw few recipes with toor dal, onion, garlic and even without coconut. But I make it with moong dal adding ground coconut paste and its a no onion no garlic recipe as well. With Puli inji as side dish, it tastes the best when mixed with rice adding few drops of ghee.This is my favorite combo too. Ok, Lets see how to make Kerala Parippu curry with step by step photos !

Kerala Puttu Recipe – How To Make Soft Rice Flour Puttu

Kerala puttu recipe
Rice Puttu - Kadala Curry is the most popular, worldwide known breakfast dish of Kerala. We call it as Kola Puttu ( Kuzhal Pittu) in Tamil. I have tasted this only once in Trivandrum(Thiruvananthapuram) in a small hotel and that too before my marriage.  After that, I never got a chance to try that. I always have a fascination towards Kerala recipes.So I keep trying one or the other recipes at home. Last week, we watched a cookery show in which the chef showed how to make Kerala Puttu with Kadala curry. Sendhil told me to try it as its a healthy choice for breakfast. 

I have already tried & posted different types of puttu recipes like Ragi Puttu, Kambu puttu and sweet puttu using idli pot learning from my MIL. So this time I wanted to make Kerala Puttu in an authentic way using Puttu maker as shown in the TV show. On the same day, we bought a puttu kudum ( Puttu kutti in Malayalam) and Instant Puttu rice flour mix ( puttu podi) from a nearby shop. I watched few YouTube video and browsed through some websites to get some tips on how to make super soft puttu recipe. I got one perfect recipe from HERE. I tried it for our Sunday breakfast and it was tasting great. Even though its my first attempt, I was very happy with the result. Sendhil loved it a lot and gave a big thumbs up.

 Making Puttu and Kadala curry is not so difficult and tricky as I thought. Anyone can make it easily if you follow the steps with care and patience. You can try this puttu without a puttu maker and by using homemade puttu flour too. I have shared those points in Notes section. Friends, do try this Kerala special breakfast dish – Puttu, Kadala curry at home and enjoy with your family. You can serve it with Kadala curry, Papadam Or just mix it with some sugar, ghee and banana. It tastes great !! I will post   have posted  Kadala curry recipe in this link. Now lets see how to make soft puttu using instant puttu podi.

Cuisine: Kerala
Category: Breakfast Recipes
Serves:
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 10 Minutes
Total time: 20 Minutes


INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 250ml
  • Instant Puttu flour - 1 cup  ( I used Double Horse brand white puttu podi)
  • Fresh grated coconut – 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp
  • Salt - as needed
  • Hot water - as needed
  • Puttu maker - refer the above picture
For serving :
Kadala curry OR Sugar, ghee and cardamom powder
HOW TO MAKE SOFT KERALA PUTTU - METHOD

  • In a wide plate, take the puttu flour. No need to sieve the flour. Add salt and mix well.
Puttu recipe
  • Heat 1 cup of water in a bowl till water starts to bubble. No need to roll boil the water.
How to make soft puttu
  • Sprinkle this water little by little and mix the rice flour with a wooden ladle. There would be lumps in the flour. No issues. After all the puttu flour turns slightly moist, stop adding the water. Make sure you don’t see any dry flour. When the mixture becomes warm, use your finger tips and break the lumps roughly. Do it lightly. Do not apply pressure.
Puttu recipe - How to make soft puttu
  • Take a handful of flour and press it between your fist, it should hold its shape. When you press the flour with your thumb finger a little harder, it should crumble. This is the right consistency. Do not make the flour too wet or too dry. This consistency is more important to get a soft puttu.
Puttu recipe - How to make soft puttu
  • Now add 2 tbsp of freshly grated coconut to the rice flour. Mix well. In a medium sized mixie jar, take a handful of puttu flour and pulse it once or twice ( Pulse for just 2 seconds) and grind it to remove the lumps. You should grind the puttu flour only in batches. DO NOT grind all the flour together. It will become sticky with full of lumps. We need fluffy, feathery soft flour after grinding. So do it only in batches. You may need to grind 3-4 times. Collect all the ground flour in a wide bowl.

  • Again check the consistency of flour by holding it in your fist as mentioned in the previous step.Now your puttu flour is ready to steam.
Puttu recipe - How to make soft puttu
  • In the bottom of puttu maker i.e Puttu kudum, add 3 cups of water and let it roll boil. In the mean time, take the long cylindrical puttu kutti and put the perforated steel disc on the bottom of the cylinder. First layer it with 2 tbsp of grated coconut and above that add a handful of puttu flour. Do not press the flour. Put it loosely. Repeat this till the rim of Puttu kutti. Finish it with coconut layer. Close the puttu maker with the lid.

  • Place it over the boiling water. Place it lightly else it will become difficult to remove the cylinder after steaming. So place it gently but securely.
Puttu recipe - How to make soft puttu
  • Let the Puttu cook for 5 minutes in high flame ( Do not cook the puttu for more time because it will become dry if you over cook). After the steam starts to come out from the lid holes vigorously with a nice smell of cooked puttu, switch off the flame and let it rest for 2 minutes. Then remove the rod shaped puttu kutti ( careful) and place it in a plate. Use the steel rod and push the bottom of puttu maker. Puttu will come off easily with the perforated disc. Remove the disc and enjoy the puttu with kadala curry OR simply mix the puttu with sugar, cardamom powder and ghee.
Puttu recipe - How to make soft puttu
Enjoy !

Note
  • Addition of hot water and grinding the puttu flour in mixie helps to give soft puttu. If you want to follow the authentic method, just use the plain water and mix till right consistency. Sieve the flour in a puttu sieve if having or just break the lumps using your hands.Proceed for steaming.
  • If you don’t own a puttu maker, just fill the grated coconut & puttu flour in layers inside a small tumbler and steam in idli pot for 5-7 minutes OR you can just spread a layer of coconut in all the idli plates and place a layer of puttu flour above it. Steam it for 5 minutes and remove.It resembles idli shaped puttu.
  • You can also use an empty coconut shell for steaming puttu.
  • If you don’t like to use store bought puttu flour, you can make it at home. For this, soak raw rice in water for 2 hours. Dry in a shade over the white cloth for 5 minutes. Grind it to a slightly coarse powder and  dry roast the flour till it starts to leave vapour.Remove the flour and let it cool down. Then use it for making puttu.
  • Do not cook the puttu for long time. It will give you dry, hard puttu.
  • Adding grated coconut in between layers gives softness and better taste to the puttu. If you don’t want to use more coconut, just skip this step.
  • You can also use processed store bought rice flour i.e Idiyappam flour.

Palada Payasam - Kerala Style Palada Pradhaman Recipe In Pressure Cooker

Palada payasam in pressure cooker

Kerala palada payasam / Palada pradhaman recipe without condensed milk/milk maid using pressure cooker. Palada payasam is a creamy, rich Kerala payasam recipe that is made specially during festivals like Onam, Vishu. It is made with cows milk, sugar and ada (rice chips). 

Some people add condensed milk by reducing the quantity of sugar. But the traditional and authentic version is made by boiling and cooking ada in milk in a thick wide pan called Uruli in Malayalam. Milk gets reduced and becomes pink (pale rose) in color. This makes the payasam looks pink. But here I used store bought ada. I cooked the ada using pressure cooker and added in thickened, sweetened milk. It was very creamy and white not pinkish. It has become my favorite payasam now. Iam happy that I have tried Kerala's most popular Ada pradhaman and palada payasam for this year's onam sadya. Lets see how to make Kerala style palada payasam with step by step photo.

Ada pradhaman recipe
Ada Pradhaman is an yummy, traditional Kerala style dessert recipe (Payasam recipe) that is made specially during Onam and Vishu. Onam sadya would not be complete without Ada pradhaman. Last year I tried Palada pradhaman by making homemade ada(Rice chips) using rice flour.

This time I found a packet of readymade ada in a nearby store. So I bought them and tried both palada pradhaman( with milk & sugar) and Ada pradhaman( with coconut milk & jaggery) recipes. My job became much easier with store bought ada. I referred Kitchentreats and few video for making Ada pradhaman. It came out very well. The flavor and taste of cooked ada with jaggery syrup and coconut milk was awesome. We had two bowls of this ada payasam after having the splendid Onam Sadya lunch. Color of this payasam may vary based on the color of jaggery. Some people also make it using Milkmaid / condensed milk or cows milk. But its not the traditional method. Ok, Lets see the preparation of Kerala style Ada pradhaman recipe.
