Sabudana Idli

 Ingredients

1 cup sabudana

2 tbsp oil

1 tsp mustard

½ tsp cumin

½ tsp chana dal

½ tsp urad dal

pinch hing

few curry leaves finely chopped

1 cup rava / semolina, coarse

1 tsp salt

¾ cup curd

3 tbsp dill leaves, finely chopped *

½ tsp Eno fruit salt

 

Preparations

in a bowl soak 1 cup sabudana for 2 hours.

In a pan heat 2 tbsp oil. Add 1 tsp mustard, ½ tsp cumin, ½ tsp chana dal, ½ tsp urad dal, pinch hing, and few curry leaves.

Splutter the tempering.

Add 1 cup rava and roast on low flame.

Roast until the rava turns aromatic.

Cool completely, and transfer to the bowl.

Drain off the water from the soaked sabudana, and transfer it to the bowl.

Add 1 tsp salt, ¾ cup curd and mix well.

Add water accordingly, and mix well adjusting the consistency as required.

Rest for 30 minutes, or until the rava is absorbed well.

Also add 3 tbsp dill leaves, ½ tsp Eno fruit salt and mix gently.

Once the batter turns frothy, pour in a greased idli plate.

Steam for 15 minutes, or until the idli is cooked well.

Finally, enjoy Sabudana Idli with chutney and sambar.

 

*For dill leaves, consider tarragon, parsley, or fennel as substitutes. Tarragon's licorice flavor complements dill well in seafood and dressings. Parsley, especially when combined with celery leaves, offers a similar fresh, herbaceous flavor. Fennel fronds mimic dill's feathery appearance and can be used as a garnish.

Savory Clafoutis With Corn and Swiss Chard

 Clafoutis are baked French pancakes, usually filled with sweet cherries. This savory version calls for corn, Swiss chard and leeks instead of fruit, and includes plenty of Gruyère for a salty depth. It will emerge from the oven puffed and golden, then quickly deflate. Fear not, it still tastes wonderful after it flattens out, though for the best presentation, try to time it so your guests are at the table when it is ready. Serve it for brunch or a light dinner with a tomato salad on the side, if you’re making this in tomato season. In winter, sliced oranges drizzled with olive oil and salt are nice, too.

 Ingredients

• ¾cup whole milk
• ¾cup crème fraîche- a thick cultured cream-Combine buttermilk and heavy cream in a non-reactive container. Cover and allow to rest at room temperature until thickened to desired texture, about 12 hours.

Stir in corn, garlic and a pinch of salt; cook until garlic is fragrant and corn is tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chard leaves a handful at a time, and cook until they are wilted and tender, about 4 minutes. Season the mixture with ¼ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
