Green Chillies - 2
Veg Oyster Mushroom Sauce - 1 tsp
Oil to fry
Salt to taste.
Oil to fry
Salt to taste.
Method:
Take 2 1/2 cups of water in a pan. Bring it to a boil and add macaroni to it. Boil it for 10 mins. Once it is done, drain the water and pour cold water over it. Drain again and keep it aside.
Heat oil in a wok. Add onion and green chillies and stir fry it. Then, add carrot first and then capsicum. Add 1/2 cup water to it and let the vegetables cook for a while. Once the water is evaporated, add the macaroni, Veg Oyster Mushroom Sauce and salt and toss it gently for two minutes.
Tips: Do not over cook the vegetables , esp capsicum, as Chinese recipes have vegetables stir fried and not cooked completely. Do a salt test as the sauce will have salt by itself, so adjust the salt accordingly.

As soon as you hear the term "Ulli Dosa" , you get reminded of usual onion uthapam. This is a very easy to make version of that, but with a "naadan" touch to it.
This is again one of the few delicacies of my mom which she inherited from my amma-amma, her mom. This used to be my mom's favorite during her childhood days. This should be made with the naadan ari in a cheenachatti to get that authentic flavor.
When asked to name the dish, she replied instantly that they use to call it cheenachatti palakaram. Maybe, there are other names to this dish. Foodies are welcome to give the name of this , if they know exactly wat it is called in Kerala.
Now, lets get started with..... "Cheenachatti Palakaram!!!!!!"
Ingredients:
Raw rice/ Kachcha chawal/ Pacharisi/ Pachari - 1 cup
Pearl onions/ shallots - 10 nos.
Green chillies - 2 or according to the taste
Coriander and Curry leaves
Salt to taste.
Method:
Soak the rice in water before two hours. Drain water and add chopped shallots, green chillies, coriander and curry leaves, and salt. Mix well and grind it into a coarse paste. Very less water is used in making the batter. It is recommended to use a cheenachatti, but beginners can use a normal tawa. Do a salt test and adjust the salt if necessary. This cannot be spread on the tawa like a dosa, as the batter does not follow like the normal dosa mix. Hence, spread it slowly in the form of a circle and add little oil to the sides.
It is very important to cook it with a closed lid over it, as pachari tends to become white when cooked in an open tawa.
Then, follow the normal procedure of making a dosa.

This one is a VANITHA-EXCLUSIVE from my mom. I never thought oats can taste so good. Earlier I had it seldom in the form of porridge, as it had a bad effect on my taste buds... just kidding... Oats is one of the high fiber content cereal grain know to remove cholesterol. It has unique anti-oxidants that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, enhances immunity, and stabilizes blood sugar. I have only mentioned a few of its benefits. This is the best to be included in breakfast, as our day would start with a healthy alternative.
This recipe will be a favorite form of oats for all ages as otherwise it is difficult to have, despite its good health quotient.
Ingredients:
Oats - 100 gm
Mustard - 1tsp
Dry Red Chillies - 1
Channa Dhal - 1tsp
Large Onion - 1
Green Chillies - 2
Beans - 4
Carrot - 1
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Salt - to taste.
Water - depending on the quality of Oats
Method:
Chop onions, vegetables and green chillies. Heat oil in a skillet and allow mustard seeds to splutter. Then, add channa dhal to it. When it is roasted add dry red chillies. Then add chopped onions and green chillies, and fry till the onion is golden brown. Add the vegetables along with some water, and let it cook for a while. Now, add oats to it along with necessary oil and salt. Cook till the water evaporates and the mixture thickens.
