How about giving a virtual treat to your blogger friends. dedicating the dishes personally for our blogger friends. Ten days back I saw my Dear friend Shriya of http://www.spicytasty.com/ comment for Raw Mango Pulihothara..where she stated that she wanted to taste it. The above plate is thus for shriya to have her Virtual Treat. iam waiting for you dee..come soon for a virundhu.

Well about this dish..When i was pregnant..My husband used to buy several Raw mangoes for me..But i never felt of tasting them. To my surprise in my last trimester..i suddenly over turned to mango side. The above dish was tried by me in those days..near about a year back.

My Recipe will be an outlaw from the rules for Mango Rice.. But i assure you it tastes so good.

Required:
1. Rice -2 cups(Rice should be cooked with less water than the usual level of water)
2. Grated Raw Mango- 1/4 cup
3. Grated Carrot-1/4 cup
4. Onion-1
5.Red chilli's-5
6.Mustard-1/2 spoon
7.Chana Dal-1/2 spoon
8.Turmeric powder-1/4 spoon
9. Peanut-2 spoons

Method:
Mix 4 spoons of oil with the rice and let it cool for some time. this makes the rice dont stick with the other. Now In a kadai..add 2 spoons of oil and heat it. add mustard seeds..when it pop up..add chana dal and let it turn golden colour. now add red chilli's, peanut's and curry leaves. roast them well and add sliced onion's. fry it well. add salt and turmeric powder and mix well. now add Grated Raw Mango and Carrot. let them cooked in slow flame for about 2-3 minutes. now add rice and mix well.

Serve it hot with mixture.

shriya hope you like my Virtual Treat.

This chutney can be prepared in a jiffy..if you have roasted peanuts. it is the best combination for hot idlies and rasam rice. This is my most comfort food. shortly Iam addicted to its taste.

I was thinking what could be the name reason of the word cutlet.


here comes the meaning for it:


(i) A thin slice of meat, usually veal or lamb, cut from the leg or ribs.
(ii) A patty of chopped meat or fish, usually coated with bread crumbs and fried; a flat croquette.


ohh..people have substituted potato for meat. can anyone suggest a name for potato cutlet(ordinary vegetarian cutlet).


Peanut Cutlet:

Recipe Source: Foodie's of Timesnow News channel.

speacilaity of this one is...this is OIL-FREE cutlet.

hopefully we can call it as sinless cutlet.


Ingredients:


1. Potato-3(Boiled and Mashed)

2. Corriander Leaves/cilantro-1/2 cup(cutted into pieces)

3. Green Chilli's-2

4. salt-as per your taste

5. Peanut( a handfull.....blend it in mixer..it just looks like bread crumbs)


Method:


Add corriander leaves, salt, chopped green chilli's to mashed potato and mix well. shape it in coin form. now apply the crushed peanuts on both sides of coin shaped potato. fry them in hot tava. need not use oil..since oil from peanut is sufficient for it to get roasted down.


it fills your tummy also satisfies your taste buds.
