NEVRI

Nevri is my most favourite Christmas sweet. Also called as 'Sweet Karanji'.

 These are deep fried pastries, made with all purpose flour & stuffed with delicious sweet  rava- coconut- dryfruit mixture.


The crispy crunchy outer crust & sweet nutty filling is  loved by most of us. 

Recipe:

Ingredients for the dough:

A

  • 1/2 kg all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp hot oil
  • Salt to taste. 

Ingredients for the filling:

B

  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1 cup Bombay rava
  • 1 cup dry grated coconut
  • 1 cup chopped dry fruits

C

  • 1/2 cup roasted sesame seeds
  • 2 cups sugar powder
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder. 

Oil is needed for frying

METHOD:

Step 1


Kneed the dough using all the ingredients mentioned under A.

Step 2


Prepare filling. 
Heat ghee & fry all the ingredients mentioned under B on a low flame, till you get good aroma.  Slightly cool. 
Add the ingredients under C & mix well. The filling is ready. 

Step 3:


You can prepare either a single poori or a large chapathi & cut it into small poories using a round plate or mould. 

Step 4:


I have used Nevri mould. Place the poori on the mould, apply water on the edges, place the required filling mixture in the centre. Fold & press the edges. Remove excess batter to have clean nevri shape. 

Step 5:


Nevris are ready to fry. 

Step 6:


Heat oil, Fry  prepared poories in batches on a medium flame flipping both sides. 

Step 7:


Delicious, crispy nevris are ready. Cool completely and store in an airtight container. 


Enjoy the crispy crunchy nevris with your loved ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional

Coorgi Pork Coorgi Pork is the iconic pork dish from Coorg region.  It's spicy, tangy, aromatic & so yummy! Here is the Youtube Video for this dish: This is the most loved and appreciated dish in my house. I usually serve this as a starter/ appetizer with drinks.  The main ingredient which gives authentic taste to this dish is the coorgi masala powder, which is mentioned in the recipe.  The bright blackish colour and the unique taste comes from the souring agent called " Kachampuli" which is a coorgi vinegar.  This semi dry dish goes well as a side dish with any meal or as an appetizer/starter. This authentic coorgi dish is served in almost every single restaurant in Coorg region with super delicious rice roties.  Recipe is easy & simple if the coorgi masala is prepared well in advance.  Try this delicious recipe.  Recipe: Ingredients: 1/2 kg pork 2 chopped onions 7-8 flakes of garlic ( chopped) 1/2" ginger ( chopped) 2 tsp kachampuli Salt, little coriander
