Erachi Choru / Meat Rice

Erachi choru is a popular authentic rice recipe of malabar, especially very common between malabar Muslims. I saw some recipes of erachi choru while googling, just like biriyani recipe. Same process, first make meat masala then ghee rice and mix both of them. Actually in malabar we serve biriyani, with rice and masala in separate dish. But erachi choru is a mix of meat and rice, so it has a different appearance from biriyani. Its taste also stands away from biriyani. Its also easy to make. I made this in traditional way. You can use mutton or beef for this recipe. I used beef here.

Ingredients

• Beef : 1/2 kg
• Tomato : 1 big
• Onion : 2 big
• Green Chilly : 5 crushed
• Ginger : 1 inch piece crushed
• Garlic : 6 cloves crushed
• Chilly Powder : 1 tsp
• Coriander Powder : 1 tbsp
• Turmeric Powder : 1/2 tsp
• Garam Masala powder : 1 tsp
• Fennel seeds : 1/4 tsp
• Fenu Greek seeds : 1/4 tsp
• Coconut oil : 3 tbsp
• Salt : to taste
• Basmati Rice : 1/2 kg
• Boiled Water : 2 and 1/2 cups approximately
• Coriander leaves chopped : 1/4 cup

Method

Put the cleaned beef, finely sliced onion, chopped tomato, crushed green chillies, crushed ginger and garlic, all the masala powders, fenu Greek seeds, fennel seeds, coconut oil and salt (enough to meat and rice) in a pressure cooker. Mix well and keep for some time. No need of adding water, meat cooks in its own water.

 Keep the cooker in medium fire up to 4 whistles.
Clean basmati rice and soak for 10 minutes. Drain.
Open cooker lid after steam escapes its own. Add rice into it, mix well. Then add boiled water up to 1 inch top of rice. Check for salt this time and add enough. Close the lid and cook up to 1 whistle. Off the flame and allow to escape steam its own.
Open the lid and add coriander leaves .Mix well and serve it hot with raitha or pappad.

Fried sweet potato chips

It's a bit late that I post , unfortunately my laptop stopped working which had all my blog related materials and I had to put all things together again.

Yesterday it was raining here , we spent so much time looking through our flat's window enjoying the rain outside. 

My Bh took this snap during the morning walk to the beach.

Off to today,s recipe

Ingredients

Vegetable oil, for frying

Sweet potatoes, washed : 2

Chilly powder : 1 tsp

Garlic powder : 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Directions

Cut the sweet potatoes into batons (fry shapes) , then soak them in water for around 45 minutes. This is the important step to make them crispy ! Drain and pat dry. Add chilly powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well and deep fry. Serve with Thai chilli sauce or with any dip of your choice

Jalebi recipe

Ingredients

• Maida / All purpose flour : 1 cup
• Corn flour : 2 tbsp
• Thick curd : 3/4 cup (approximately)
• Cooking soda : 1 pinch
• Ghee : 2 tbsp
• Orange food color : 1/2 pinch
• Oil + Ghee : for deep frying

For sugar syrup

• Sugar : 1 cup
• Water : 1 cup
• Lemon juice : 1 tsp
• Orange food color : 1/4 pinch
• Rose essence / elaichi powder :  a little ( optional )

Method

• Mix maida, corn flour, cooking soda, ghee and food color in a bowl. Add curd and make a thick batter by adding more water. Consistency should be like vada batter. Keep it in a warm place for overnight or until it ferments well. Next day mix well with a ladle. it should be a sticky thick batter of dropping consistency.In another stove, boil sugar with water, food color, until sring consistency.  Then add lemon juice, essence / elaichi, and keep in lowest heat possible.

• In a flat bottomed pan, heat oil + ghee. Level should be very low as shown in the pic. Take a durable ziploc bag with hole, fill with the batter and draw circles in a medium heated oil. Oil should never fume. Also it should be enough to fry the jalebis porous and crisp. So adjust the heat accordingly. Make 3-4 circles per piece and end the circle by overlapping the tip when you end, otherwise the shape wont be good.
• Fry on both sides till crisp and drain it and add immediately to the hot sugar syrup. Let it be dunked in the syrup for 2 minutes at least. After some time, drain it and arrange in a plate.

Notes

•  The batter consistency is very important, it should be thick like vada batter. If its runny, then jalebi will become flat.
• While cooking jalebi, keep flame medium to make it crisp.
• lemon juice prevents sugar from crystallizing.
