Crunchy peanut murukku, easy to make murukku recipe with rice flour and peanut paste, recipe with video and step by step pictures. Those who follow Jeyashri's kitchen for a long time, know my love for peanuts. The entire family loves the addition of peanuts. I saw this recipe in Revathy Shanmugam madam's cook book last year. I wanted to post during diwali but since i posted cashew pepper murukku i didn't try this one. I already planned to post this for Janmashtami 2018. It is an easy to make murukku and it came out so crunchy too. There is not need to roast and powder urad dal in this recipe as we do for thenkuzhal. A must try murukku variety for this festival season. Try this peanut murukku for Krishna jayanthi and let me know how it turned out.

Dry fruits poli, How to make poli easy method

No sugar added poli

Dry fruits poli, a no sugar less oil Indian dessert recipe, a healthy version of poli, recipe with step by step pictures. Poli also called as Obattu, Holige, puran poli, vermi in different languages, is a sweet loaded with ghee. The stuffing inside the polis varies from place to place as South Indians, Maharastrians use chana dal and gujaratis use Toor dal. Apart from these traditional polis we also make different varieties of poli with our own creative ideas. I have posted carrot poli, thenga poli apart from the traditional ones with chana dal and the Maharastrian style puran poli. I still remember the way amma and patti makes poli loaded with oil and a super delicious soft polis. They make in huge batches and even distribute to our neighbors too. I don't claim an expert in making polis like the same way she makes, but i can make decent polis. It is more you gain mastery over it by practice. As i do it only once a year for aavani avittam and that too in a very small quantity, my output will not match her level of excellence.
As we all are becoming health conscious and running out of time when any festival falls on a week day. But still we want to follow the traditions too and i am seeing many young girls around the world are so enthusiastic in doing all the delicacies on a festival day.
I am no sure whether diabetic patients can consume dates and nuts, so i don't claim this diabetic friendly sweets but you can call no sugar added sweet. Try this relatively healthy version of poli and enjoy the festival. Also check out my

Overnight Savory oats recipe

Overnight Savory Oats recipes using quick cook oats, made in South Indian style curd rice. I have been eating Overnight Oats for the past few days. I am trying some combo of fruits everyday, but still after few days i craved for some salt version in the morning. So i tried the curd rice version and i shared that in Jeyashri's kitchen Instagram story too. It tasted so yum and i topped my Overnight oats with raw mango pickle and some pomegranates too. If you want to try a different version of oats do give it a try and i am sure you will love it. My next trial is with rasam and a cold rasam overnight oats😉. Also you can top it with vatha kuzhambu or some roasted crushed mor milagai too. Instead of pomegrantes you can add chopped grapes too.
Please ignore my the poor pictures. It was continuously raining and i could manage to click only such pictures.

Home made cardamom powder, How to make elachi powder

Cardamom powder recipe with video, how to make elachi powder.
Cardamom powder, elakkai powder recipe using whole green cardamoms. My mom used to make cardamom powder and home and keep it in the refrigerator, which always is handy while making payasam, kheers and even for tea. Many years she was grinding cardamom along with little sugar and store it. Later she started doing this with raw rice and it gives nice volume to the cardamom powder. I have heated the cardamom in a pan as i don't get direct sunlight like how we get in the terrace or balcony. If you have access to terrace keep the cardamom and rice for 2 hours and then grind into a fine powder. Else you can microwave this for a minute and then cool and grind into a powder.
If you have kept the cardamoms in the fridge or freezer, take them out and bring it to the room temperature and then proceed.
Though i don't prefer elachi in my sweets but still add it as it enhances the taste. This cardamom powder is always handy when you are making sweets in a hurry. I have seen few of my friends take out the seeds inside and make a powder and they use the skin of the cardamom in tea. I feel the skin is flavourful too, so don't want them to be discarded. This can be kept in the refrigerator for 6-8 months in a airtight container. Also check out my

Coconut coriander chutney recipe

Coconut coriander chutney, ginger flavoured coconut chutney, recipe with step wise pictures. This coconut coriander chutney is a very regular affair in our home. Whenever i ask my Varsha, what chutney she wants for idli|dosa, without any second thought she will say green coconut chutney. Though i am a big fan of thenga chutney i often make this chutney too. But since it is a very simple one i never thought of posting the recipe of the coconut coriander chutney. Recently when she was browsing the recipe index of jeyashri's kitchen, she casually asked me, why the recipe of my favorite chutney is not available in the website. So i made it for the again and posting the recipe today. The recipe is nothing fancy and no such precise measurements you have to follow. Just go ahead and alter the quantity of  ingredients little here and there to suit your taste.

Caramel Popcorn recipe

Caramel popcorn, home made caramel popcorn recipe, with step by step pictures, using dry corn kernels and sugar. Popcorn is the one we always enjoy during movies. When we were kids we used to get popcorns outside theaters in small packets and mostly i have tasted the salted version of popcorn. Later when the multiplex theaters started we used to get a variety of popcorn. Though i don't prefer sweet version of popcorn my kids love the caramel popcorn. I have made caramel popcorn for them at home twice but never clicked the pictures to post the recipe. Yesterday while organising the kitchen shelfs found some little corn kernels and thought i will make the caramel popcorn for kids snack box. They loved it very much and packed few extra for their friends too. I have seen many adding roasted peanuts to this caramel popcorn, being a peanut lover i am too tempted to do this but i thought i will post a separate caramel peanut urundai or chikki recipe.
