SPICY DRY CHICKEN
SPICY DRY CHICKEN - VIDYA NAYAK SHENOY
( Spl thanks to Shireen Sequeira for her blog )
Ingredients:
1 kg chicken
15 dry red chillies deseeded * see notes
1 medium ripe tomato (about 1/2 cup pieces) pulp/seeds removed
3 small-med onions sliced (about 1-1/2 cups of slices)
1 inch (about 2 teaspoons) ginger grated
2 fat cloves of garlic (about 1 teaspoon) grated/chopped
2-3 tsp vinegar (adjust to taste)
salt to taste
Method:
1. Cut the chicken in medium sized pieces, wash and drain well (if you have the time marinate it in 1 tsp salt and keep aside).
2. Transfer the chicken into a big pan and add about 1/4 cup of water and salt (if you have not marinated it with salt before). Boil the chicken till it is cooked but not very tender (or it will begin to shred if overcooked).
2. While the chicken is boiling fry the onions in a non stick pan till golden brown. Take care not to burn them. Remove and keep aside.
3. Powder the chilli skins without using any water (use a dry grinding jar) to as fine a powder as possible. Keep aside. Next, grind the tomato and keep aside. Rinse the grinding jar with approximately 1/4cup of water and retain this water.
4. Once the chicken is boiled, remove the pieces onto a plate and retain the stock.
5. In a large frying pan heat some oil and lightly fry the chicken pieces till they turn golden on all sides.
6. Reduce the heat (or remove the pan briefly from the heat) and add the ground chilli powder - if the pan is too hot there are chances that the powder will burn and cause the dish to taste bitter, so be careful. Add in the ginger and garlic and mix well till all the pieces are coated well with this mixture. Fry on a low heat for 2 mins.
7. Now add the fried onions, ground tomato paste and vinegar (start from 1 teaspoon and increase it - the sourness required depends on how sour the tomato is). Mix everything well and add the chicken chicken stock in parts if you like it dry. Cook with the pan uncovered till the gravy thickens.
If you want some gravy, add the stock in one go, simmer and remove from fire.
8. Serve hot with rice or chapathis
Notes:
For a moderately spicy chicken I used 8 kashmiri and 4 bedgi chillies (a total of 12 chillies). If you like it spicy use just one variety of chillies. Remember that Kashmiri chillies give a great colour but are less spicy than the Bedgi/Byadge/Kumti chillies. A combination of both is simply great, so I would recommend using a combo.

Tandalache Ukadiche modak
Tandalache Ukadiche modak - Namitha Tickare
How do we do it :-
For the outer covering:-1 Heat 1 cup of water with 1 tsp of ghee and ½ tsp of salt. After the water comes to a boil add the rice flour, stirring continuously so that it should not form lumps.
2 Cook for 5 mins, covered and keep aside to cool a bit.
3 Knead into soft dough (mix little water with a tsp of oil and have it besides you). If needed your can sprinkle that water and knead the dough well.
4 Cover it with a wet cloth and keep it aside.
For the stuffing :-1 Mix the grated coconut and the grated jaggery. Heat in a pan, till the jaggery dissolves while stirring continuously so as not to burn the coconut.
2 When the jaggery dissolves add the cardamom powder and keep aside to cool.
How to proceed :-
1 Take the dough and pat it into the mould in both the sides and press it. This will remove the extra dough. From the hole beneath put the stuffing inside and then cover the opening with a little dough.
2 Open the mould and remove the modak and keep on a greased plate which is to be steamed.
3 Repeat the procedure to make as many modak’s.
4 Keep the plate in a steamer and steam for 10 mins or till done.
5 remove from gas and keep it to cool for 10 mins. Then remove and serve with ghee.
Handy Tips :-
If you don’t have the press you can also prepare it in hands. Make a small circle of the dough, applying ghee to your palms. Keep the stuffing in the centre of the circle and close the dough while making a peak on the top.I've finished NT's 18 festive rcps,out of which only 8 r posted here. Rest already done
Out of that, 4 already in
So only 4 to go
Now I'm starting VNs's Non veg rcps...Some of which might be in

Maadi (Arbi) Bharta..With Curds - Rajashree Acharya Kamat
Recipe:
Maadi is of 2 types, the bigger one is of the size of a Keerlu & the smaller ones are tiny roundels. We get the smaller ones here & I've prepared it from the same.
Since Maadi grows underground, here we get muddy Maadis. So preferably, wash them under running water & clean all the mud. Then pressure cook till tender. (Generally I do it till 2 whistles.But it might vary acc. to the size & quality.) When cool, de-skin the cooked Maadi & mash them. Add 2 slit green chillies & mash them a bit too. Add a decent amt. of curds or even thick Buttermilk. Add some tamarind & squeeze it into the curds so that the tangy flavour is increased. Add salt to taste. Prepare a tempering of mustard seeds, Hing & curry leaves & put it over the dish. Mix it properly & the Bharta is ready. U can serve it with curry rice or with anything u love.
