FUN COOKING: Raita & rice

Raita is an Indian side dish of yogurt and it is made with various vegetables and leaves. Here below I am writing the recipe of kathal/jackfruit raita.:

Ingredients

1/2 cup of jack-fruit pulp

2 cups of curd

1 tbsp of chopped mint leaves

1 tsp of chopped mint leaves
1/2 tsp of sugar

¼ tsp of finely chopped green chili

½ tsp of garam masala

½ tsp of roasted cumin powder
1/4 tsp of black pepper powder

½ tsp of cumin seeds

Pinch of heeng

Salt to taste

½ tsp of oil

Method

1. 1. Smear oil on hands and knife.This step is very necessary to tackle the problem of latex or sticky and milky substance.

2. Take the raw jack fruit which is available in the market for making sabzi etc. Peel it and cut into pieces. While cutting, peel its seeds too with knife. If it is tender then no need to peel it.
3. Now take this kathal into pressure cooker with 1/4 cup of water and little salt. I boiled it in hawkins pressure cooker. When it comes on full pressure and first whistle comes, keep the flame on sim for1 minute. Now remove from heat. We need completely cool boiled kathal. When it gets cooled, mash it with the back of big spoon.
4. After that beat the curd in a big bowl. Add kathal pulp, chopped mint leaves, sugar, mint leaves, green chili, and salt. Mix properly.
If oil free is making then add cumin seeds poder and garam masala and mix. Oil free kathal raita is ready. Next steps written below is with little bit oil. That is completely optional

5. Heat the oil in a ladle. Add hing and cumin seeds . Let it crackle till it stops itself. Add this to the raita.

6. Now add garam masala and cumin powder.
7. Kathal raita is ready to serve.
Enjoy Healthy Cooking!!!

Khichadi is considered a light, healthy and comfort dish. It is very good to have it while stomach is upset. It is prepared by mixing green moong dal and rice for patients, though it can be made with other dals too. Today I have prepared it in microwave with multi stage + delayed cooking. Delay start cooking is very convenient function. With this feature, we can prepare food, even we are not at home or busy in other work. Here below is the whole process how to prepare khichdi with these functions and without(in simple microwave) too: Read carefully both the ways:

Ingredients
3/4 cup of mixed rice and green moong dal
salt to taste
1 tsp of turmeric powder
pinch of asafetida
1 tsp of cumin seeds
1 tsp of oil
1 tbsp of grated ginger
onion and tomato (optional)
Method
1. Wash the mixed dal and rice few times with water.
2. Take the dal and rice with 2.5 cups of water in ceramic pot . Its lid should be hole in it.
3. Add the salt, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, asfetida, ginger and oil. If using onion and tomato can be added too now. It is optional. Here I am making simple khichadi without it.
4. As we are making it in multistage cooking +delayed cooking . So keep it in microwave on turntable and close the door of microwave.

5. Now first of all clock should be set on exact time.
6. First we have to set power level and time (multi stage) as we needed different different power level and time for cooking it. Therefore, press power level, it will show 100% . Programme it for 3 minutes on 100% power. Now again press power level to 50 %. and set the time 2 minutes. Now again press power level to 30 % and set time for 15 minutes. Thus, we programmed 20 minutes time in total.
100%--------------3 minutes
50% ---------------2 minutes
30%---------------15 minutes
7. Now after setting power level and time press the clock icon to set the desired time for delay cooking. I wash the dal and rice at 9 AM. At least 2- 3 hours should be soaking time. So I set the time for delayed cooking 11.30 AM. Then to confirm the time press the go/start icon.
8. After setting the time for delay cooking, microwave oven clock will show the present time as usual.
9. At exact 11.30 cooking is started. After 20 minutes, khichdi is ready.
10. Now let it be in the microwave for 2 minutes as standing time.
11. Now take out the pot from the microwave and stir. Again cover it with lid till time of eating.
Khichdi in Simple Microwave
1. Wash dal and rice and soak it for 3 hours.
2. Put these soaked dal and rice in a ceramic pot with salt, turmeric powder, ginger, asafetida, cumin seeds and 1 tsp of oil.
3. Place the pot in microwave and cook it for 3 minutes on 100 % power.
4. Now again cook it on 2 minutes on 50 % power.
5. After that cook it on 30 % power for 15 minutes.
6. Now let it be for 2 minutes inside after cooking for standing time.
7. Now take out the pot and stir and cover the lid till the time of eating.
8. Healthy khichdi is ready to serve. It tastes great with ghee, pickle, curd, papad, and raita etc.
Tip
No need to stir in between in both ways.
