Virgin Mojito Recipe - Mocktail Recipes

Virgin mojito recipe - how to make virgin mojito - easy mocktail recipes.

Mojito is a Cuban cocktail and is basically alcohol based drink which has fresh mint leaves, lemon, and sugar. I have posted "the original mojito recipe on my youtube channel" and this mocktail is for those who do not favor alcohol in their drink. Yes, mocktails are soft drinks which does not have alcohol but is substituted with fruit juice, fruit purees, pulps, syrups etc.

Mocktails are alcohol free and can be enjoyed by kids as well as adults. Mojito is made with muddling mint leaves with sugar and lemon wedges. Granulated sugar acts as a exfoliater when it rubs with the mint leaves and release the essential oils and for this reason I would suggested to muddle or lightly squash the mint leaves with the granulated sugar and the lemon wedges in the glass you are serving. Though this recipe serves one; you can double or triple the recipe; but the rule is to muddle the three in the glass.

I would not suggest using simple syrup (equal amount of sugar and water is boiled to make a syrup) instead of the granulated sugar nor lemon juice instead of the lemon wedges. The flavor of the lemon rind when muddled along with the sugar brings out the essential oils...and that is the secret to the worlds best Mojito.

If you are serving for a party or for a large crowd; muddle (mash) everything in the "punch bowl" not in a stone grinder or in a mortar and pestle.

For your easy understanding I have made a video when I made this; also instead of ice cubes, I used crushed ice and club soda...yes, but very homemade!

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
