No Vijaya dear I have given the Camera for repairs. God is not interested in my participating I think. He must be thinking when all the youngsters are posting such yummy recipies give them a chance to share them . He must be saying to himself noone of your age are taking part here , so he must have made my camera not to work. If camera works then I will be tempted to post
[h=1]Hello my Dearests ILs.... 7th day of Navratri: Dedicated to Goddess Kalratri[/h]The seventh manifestation of Mother Durga, worshipped on the seventh day of Navrartri, is Goddess Kalratri. She has a dark complexion, tousled hair and a valor posture. Having three eyes that shine intense and bright and dreadful flames originating from her breath; she is often depicted sitting on a donkey as she rides on “Gadarbh”. She is admired with name “Kalratri” because she represents herself as a death of “Kaal” appeared like a dark night for demons. She is also addressed with the name ‘Kali Maa’ Mantra :- The Devi Kalratri is worshipped with the chant of following Mantra: [COLOR=inherit !important][FONT=inherit !important][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=inherit !important][FONT=inherit !important]या देवी सर्वभू*तेषु माँ कालरात्रि रूपेण संस्थिता।[COLOR=#5EABDF !important]1[/COLOR][/COLOR][/FONT] नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नम:।। Kadala poli (nuts patties) Ingredients: Ghee/oil, to fry poli/holige for outer layer/dough: 1 cup Maida/Chiroti rava a pinch of Salt 1 1/2 tsp ghee, melted 1/3 cup Oil, to soak the dough Water, to mix the dough for filling: 1 1/4 cup Groundnuts 1 cup grated Jaggery Method: for outer layer/Dough: Mix flour(maida) or chiroti rawa with a pinch of salt and ghee and add water to it and knead in to a very smooth dough. The consistency of the dough should be very loose than the regular roti dough, this is the most important step otherwise you will not get softer polis.You can add a pinch of turmeric powder to the dough if you want. Now place this dough in a deep vessel and pour oil over it until the dough is completely soaked in oil. Let the dough rest for a minimum of 1 hr and upto 2 hrs. Drain the excess oil and use it for other purpose. for the filling: Dry roast groundnuts until they turn slightly crispy and has some black patches.Taste one groundnut and check whether it is roasted completely or not.Let them cool.Rub your palms thoroughly on the groundnuts to remove their skin and separate the peeled skin and groundnuts. Grind roasted and skinned groundnuts to a powder in the mixie and then add grated jaggery to it and run it again to get a uniform mixture.The mixture might become sticky which is fine. Pinch a small amla sized dough(the amount of dough should be half the quantity of the filling you take) and flatten it a bit using your hands and place one ball of filling and seal it properly from all the edges like how we do for parathas.Now flatten it slowly with hands to get 5" diameter circle. Now fry it on both sides applying ghee until light golden in color. Pour the ghee over it, do not try to spread ghee over the poli while frying it. Do not fry it for long time, it will make the polis bit hard so quickly remove it from stove when you get to see the brown patches on it. Repeat the process and make all patties like this..
