Re: What are you cooking / having cooked / eating today? [1 of 2]
Huzz, as promised, here's the image of my dosa. I made chicken pulusu (stew) to go along with it. The classic combo in my hometown is dosas with mamsam pulusu (mutton stew). Tastes heavenly! That's the best combo with dosas, not sambar or any kind of chutneys or powders. Trust me on this! I substituted mutton with chicken here. Tasted great!

Shhh...what do you iyerinis know abt chikkin and mutton? I tasted dosas with all combos, so I shld be able to tell what's the best. This is the best combo (mutton is the best, chiken second best and e'thing comes after that)

ha ha ha! dosas with chicken is sacrilege to me too but i am ready to break out of that mold. i will search a pulusu recipe on the net and try chicken pulusu with dosa. your pic looks awesome! as i had mentioned to your on chat earlier, i do have a vacancy in my house for another cook. i pay well.kinnera wrote:Shhh...what do you iyerinis know abt chikkin and mutton?

Amen. I'm entirely with you on this, Kinny. The dosai orthodoxy is rooted in ignorance (or abhorrence) of other, better options.
Just one small niggle about your hierarchy though: after mutton comes prawns IMO. Chicken and the rest follow.

Have you tried drinking coffee with pickles ( hot lime or Avakkai) ? - the bestest combo to taste real coffee.

GK, stop polluting coffee. i am having mine now and wanted to post a picture of it but got put off by this aavakkai talk. i know aavakai tastes best with either plain hot white rice or cold curd rice.

Hello Rekz,
Absolutely!
May be it's "cultural"
In TN.. many of our Churches..after midnight mass on Christmas or Early Morning Services (4 am)..they used to serve the best dosa(i) or idlies with Chicken or Mutton Curry..all kinds of preps- kurma, kari kozhambu, black pepper curry..etc.
Even at home, that is our staple morning breakfast..especially on festival and special occasions. It can be in Chennai, Vellore, Tirunelveli, Madurai, Thanjavur or USA..it's the same!
Hope you are doing well..nice to see you.

Pulusu? (as in tamarind added curry?) Most of the recipes I mentioned..don't have tamarind in them..I don't particularly like Chicken or Mutton Curry Preps with tamarind..*only add tamarind in fish, prawn curries..

1. Mutton curry, esp. ku(o)rma *(starter) or paya
2. Chicken curry, korma or black pepper curry

you know, being reminded of your "black pepper" chicken curry, earlier today, on chat, i was talking about hostel food (that my older is eating) with BW. she asked me how he was finding it? i said great (hostel food is veggie). then she logged out. but then it struck me that anything you cook in the south always tastes better (from my recent visits to bangalore) than what you do in the north. it is because the spices are fresh there. i think.

You are welcome HK.
When I say- Black Pepper Chicken curry (Milagu) , this recipe is close to what I usually prepare:
http://myerecipecorner.blogspot.com/2011/07/chettinad-pepper-chicken-curry.html
*Certainly the fresh spices makes a difference. That seems to be slowly changing in many places in the South (at least in Chennai), where people are using packaged spices, "instant" masalas etc more and more!

I see that all the carnivores are trying to shh up the iyerinis. I've tasted all the combos, and I think dosa -chicken combo is sorta overkill. Dosa so delicately flavored, it just gets drowned in all the spiciness of the chicken curry. You feel like you are eating the chicken curry by itself, which is fine, when you like chicken, which most people who tend to eat dosa with chicken do.
It is best eaten with some nice, spicy chutneys, IMO.
Vada or garelu, on the other hand, is a different story. The dough is so thick, even when deep fried and crispy, it still tends to be bland, so it goes very well with spicy chicken or mutton stews.
I served dosa to a NI guest who rolled up my chicken 65 in it, and ate it like a wrap. I just assumed both of them were so bad, that was the only way he could get them in.

Merlot, I take your word. Will try it with prawns next time.
Asha, don't know what chicken curry you tried it with. That could make a difference. Anyway, Mutton stew (mamsam pulusu) with dosas is a classic combo. I actually committed blasphemy by substituting mutton with chicken. The masala is the same for both though.
Maria, the chicken and mutton pulusulu that i mentioned above don't have tamarind in it.

Kinney and merlot,
chicken with mutton curry beats most others. If that bothers some people here it tastes even better. One place i would like to go back is a small restaurant near big annapurna in coimbatore. Best dosa mutton combo.

I am still getting over the imagery of idlis stuffed with eggs that MD kindly(!) shared on Sulekha and now this. Food pollution and abuse, that's what all this is. And yeah, that's that.
Paneer Dosai seems almost palatable, in light of all this.

Re: What are you cooking / having cooked / eating today? [1 of 2]
true. this trend is all over. i was thinking on slightly different lines. take the humble cardamom for example. kerala, karnataka and TN lead in its production. in the south you can literally pluck it from your backyard and crush it. whereas here you have to rely on imported (from the south) cardamom. also we so many curry trees in the south all over; as if it grows like a weed. curry leaves (that i have lately taken a fondness for in my buttermilky onion raita) that we use here is not fresh.Maria S wrote:

yes, dosa needs all the support it can use.
Speaking of which, I went googling for idli with egg, and ended up with ice cream dosa, from sulekha.
http://food.sulekha.com/ice-cream-dosai-id28433-45947-recipe.htm
This one seems doable, but it looks like they are using whipped cream rather than ice cream.

I'm glad you have abandoned the muffin tray idea. I was gonna suggest you nix that idea, because even with the regular ponagalu skillet, the centers remain undercooked.
I tried the mini-muffin trays once, and I regretted wasting the batter.
I was going to say meh to even the skillet ponagalu, but was afraid kinnera will beat me out of this thread.

" savathukkuthAn sAmbrAni eaththanuM' - ( roughly translated, only corpses need perfume/incense)

eh? corpses? I thought we use incense and perfumes for gods more than for corpses-the incense sticks, the sambrani, sandalwood, rose water, the best smelling flowers, etc. Gods are the ones who are dressed well too, in silk clothes e'day and adorned with rich ornaments.
The ppl who feel they are simple and hence holier than others are the ones with an inflated ego. Refer to fluteholder's thread, 'question to indo and others'. The upanishads talk abt such deluded ppl-the ones forcefully denying themselves of the material things in the name of spiritual progress. That's not necessary.

Ashu, you are eating the wrong stuff, cooking in the wrong way and pronouncing their the name wrong way too . The Ponganalu (not ponagalu ) are slow cooked, only on medium heat. And the skillet is covered to facilitate some steaming too. The centers remain uncooked if they are done in high flame and the are not covered. In that case, the outside gets burnt fast, while the center remains uncooked. So the key is to slow cook them.

I celebrated Ganesha Chaturthi with a grand dinner of:
- Scallops in a saffron confit and potato foam
- Ribeye steak (well made but a bit too much meat even for me, a neo-convert)
- Dessert was a delicate mango canelloni with a delicious passion fruit ice cream
- Lots of spanish red wine and the company of three beautiful Turks
Nicely buzzed now. Ah. Life is good.

The thought of stuffing ice cream into a dosai cone is revolting but then I have seen people eat dosai with jam.

Ashu, you are eating the wrong stuff, cooking in the wrong way and pronouncing their the name wrong way too . The Ponganalu (not ponagalu ) are slow cooked, only on medium heat. And the skillet is covered to facilitate some steaming too. The centers remain uncooked if they are done in high flame and the are not covered. In that case, the outside gets burnt fast, while the center remains uncooked. So the key is to slow cook them.
I'll give it to you about the pronunciation. We call it 'gunta punugulu', I was trying to use your word, and it came out as a cross between the two.
Anyway, I made them today, and it didn't change my opinion one bit. By the time I get two batches of these done, I can cook lamb biryani and chicken fry.
After I was done, I realized it was Ganesh Chaturdi, and felt so sorry for myself.
Here's the pic.

That's a crêpe, innit?
The thought of stuffing ice cream into a dosai cone is revolting but then I have seen people eat dosai with jam.[/quote]
That's what it is! It didn't strike me at first, I need to check out some of those.

wow, those are nice pics asha! you have made amends for the other rather disastrous pic you posted in this thread a year ago. good job. my wife's out of town so we will have these made upon her return. i'm confident ganpath ram will be able to take care of the undercooked centre problem. quick question: like utthapams, does ponganalu need sour batter?ashaNirasha wrote:

Had no idea y'day was Lord Ganesa's b'day. Anyway, I made this for the birthday boy. Portobello mushroom, feta, olive, red onion, thyme tart (no more wonder help, it is wonder me now).
HK, just for you, I took the picture of the whole thing and not dump the leftovers on you.
