TRIBUTE TO JAYASREE–AVAL KOZHUKATTAI

    
     Some times we could not believe certain facts suddenly. Especially, if it is a sad news. I was in the same state when I came to know one of our blogger friend, Jayasree who blogged at Experiments in Kailas kitchen passed away from this world. She was one of few bloggers I know right from the days I started blogging. She never failed to write comment on each post of mine, I too even if I miss few  posts, I go back to the archive and make sure I write comment to her posts. I have not interacted with her personally but I had a great respect towards her. I always admire her traditional recipes she had posted in her blog. For few days I was feeling so bad and she is still in my memories and will be for ever. And I took this opportunity to post one of her lovely post,when Lataji and few other fellow bloggers came up with the idea of posting tribute posts for her.

I tried her Aval kozhukattai she had blogged here. This is a very healthy steamed snack/tiffin or even a breakfast or dinner. Very flavourful and easy to make and tastes awesome! Do try this out for your family and you will agree with me.

To temper

Mustard 3/4 tsp
Urad dal 1 tsp
Channa dal 1 tblsp

Method

  1. Use thick variety of aval for best result. Powder the aval coarsely in a mixer. Use juice/inch option to carefully do this evenly. avl1
  2. Heat a pan with oil and temper with the items given under “to temper” table.Add water, salt and bring to boil. avl2
  3. Add the powdered aval and mix well. cook till all water gets absorbed and the mixture resembles upma. Will take 2 minutes approximately. avl3
  4. Switch off the stove and add grated coconut and mix well and cool down. avl4
  5. Grease an idly plate and make kozhukattais out of the aval mixture and steam it for 5 minutes. avl5
     Serve hot with any chutney or sambar. It tastes as such very nice as a snack. So you can enjoy it as tiffin with tea/coffee too.

Those are few touching words you have coined there Raji.
We are all in this togetnher, and miss her badly, still cannot believe that fate can play such tricks.
I am pretty sure that these aval kozukkattais will feature in our breakfast menus often. They are healthy and filling at the same time.

Each time when i see her pic in a post for her and even still sometimes i see her pic in fb popping up i can't believe she is not there anymore. Even though we have not see her it is such a surprise how close we feel to each other in the blog world.

Aval Kozhukattai. They looked like the Undrallu so dear to Ganesh, but I find that they are made of atukulu ( rice flakes ) . Ilike atukulu, maramaralu, ( puffed rice), Futana dal , green chillies , salt, pieces of onion and green chillies mixed together with a dash of lemon juice to make adelicious chat. Need to try your Aval Kozhukattai.

Jay said...

She was a wonderful person and Am a follower of her blog. May her soul rest in peace and God give her family courage and strength..!

Hi Raji,
I tried this aval kozhukattai as dinner on new year's eve. I chose this, as i had to prepare dinner, that should be simple, less time consuming and easy to prepare as i go home from office. This one exactly matched my requirements and i got good appreciations from my huby and in - laws too. Thanks again.
