Chocolate Candy Bar

I wanted to make a short crust pastry which had a chocolate topping on it, so I searched Google and I finally landed in Edible Garden Toblerone Candy Bar and instantly I knew I had to make this. But what about the Toblerone??; living in Calicut (kerala) and that too on the outskirts of the city has this kind of disadvantages. So Toblerone is out of the list and I finally made up my mind to top it with chocolate sauce and sprinkle it with caramelized nuts (fortunately I had some leftover). I love to alter a recipe to my taste and availability of ingredients in my kitchen. This sure was a huge success with my kids.


Ingredients:
Salted butter: 1 cup (room temperature)
Powdered sugar: 2/3 cup.
Flour: 2 ¼ cup.
Homemade chocolate sauce: 1 cup.(scroll down for recipe)
2 tbsp: caramelized cashew nuts.

Method:
1. Cream butter and sugar.
2. Put in the flour.
3. Mix with finger tips until it resembles bread crumbs.
4. Press firmly on to a greased tray with the back of a spoon.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 min or until the top turns light golden brown.

While this is in the oven, let’s make the chocolate sauce.
I cup sugar.
½ cup milk.
3 heaped tsp of cocoa powder.
3 tsp of butter.
Vanilla essence: 1or 2 drops.

Put sugar and cocoa powder with milk into a pan and mix it nicely (there should not be any lumps or you can sieve the cocoa powder in). When it starts boiling put in the butter and stir well till it coats the back of the spoon nicely. Pour it over the pastry while still hot and sprinkle some caramelized nuts and let it cool and cut into squares.

Verdict: The pastry is very crisp and the caramelized nuts gave the surprise element in it. Overall, this is an easy-to-bake recipe and perfect for a beginner.

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
