Sunday Chats - 5


Hello and hope you all had a wonderful week! Though mine was pretty bad! was down with a really bad chest infection and fever and body-ache.

But, this cake made me better and cheered me up pretty fast. Yesterday, I became a year older and my kids surprised me with this at night. Really, birthdays does make you very special; even if you are ill and such pure tender love will make you glow inside out. And believe, me I really felt so good more than I felt in about 3 days!

These days, my hubs tell me that I am very clumsy (well, that is not my fault entirely; its the ageing factor that is to be blamed, ha!) I dropped my clutch purse a couple of times while walking in the city along with my credit cards, drivers licence etc etc .....and since poor hubs was behind me; he picked it up and later gave me and warned me to be careful....but the same thing happened again in the next couple of days. Being a soft spoken person (I am the loud kind; opposites attract, wink! wink!) he again gently reminded me that I am being clumsy and to take care of my belongings.....like any wife I also, smiled and said ya, I will.....and guess what he got me for my birthday.....A Sling Bag! and that really made him a happier person as now he need not worry about myself losing my clutch purse. His thoughtful gift will make my hands free and my belongings safe while I walk about the city.  I don't know whether it is my children's brain behind this or entirely his.

Talking of birthdays and cakes; have you tried my pressure cooker cake  yet?? Frankly, I was astonished at the texture of the cake when made in 8 inch round pans. The cake was so soft yet sturdy, sort of pound cake-like and for my birthday, I had promised my children that I will bake for them in round pan and maybe frost with chocolate butter-cream, but then sometimes things does not go the way I plan; but do end up in a better way like the cake above in the picture.

Thank you for the love and support you give me.

Have a wonderful week ahead!

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
