    Hi everyone :hello:

    First of all, thank you all for sharing delightful recipes. Here is my contribution to this thread

    Ragi Laddu:

    If you want to eat some healthy snack in the evening, this recipe is for you. It's very quick and easy to prepare.

    Ingredients: (15 to 20 laddus)
    • Ragi flour - 1/4 kg
    • jaggery - 150 gram
    • cardamoms powder - 1/2 spoon
    • Ghee - 80 gram

    Method:
    • Keep the pan on the sim and roast the ragi flour
    • Roast until you get the nice aroma
    • Then add ghee in the ragi flour
    • Once the ghee melt then start to mix with flour
    • Keep roasting for 5 to 7 min
    • After being a 5 to 7 min roasting, taste bit of flour. If you get a crunchy taste, move to the next step otherwise keep roasting.
    • Switch off the gas stove and add cardamoms powder and jaggery
    • Mix it very well
    • Next, wait till the mixture become warm
    • Then take the mixture and begin to shape the laddus
    • once finished, store it in an airtight jar and serve

    Note: If any lump formed in the mixture, break it

    Thank u for ur response. I am asking for pickle and not pachadi. I already googled it before asking. It is also called Karam just like cauliflower Karam. I can simply ask my mother in law ( my mom doesn’t make it but I’ve seen it in several places ) but I don’t feel comfortable asking her

    Hey, I asked about this recipe to my neighbour, she told me how to do this.
    • First, keep the flame simmer and roast mustard seeds, methi seeds and dry red chillies separately in a dry pan.
    • After roasted, let cool well.
    • In the meantime, cut Tindora into small pieces and add it into a dry bowl.
    • Grind the above-roasted ingredients in a mixer-grinder.
    • Add all the powders, salt and garlic paste one by one into the sliced tindora and mix till everything gets blended well.
    • Add gingly oil and give a good stir to ensure all the ingredients coat the tindora pieces well.
    • Finally, add lemon juice.
    This recipe can be served instantly and will taste better the next day.

    Dondakaya vellulli Karam
    Slice dondakaya into roundles or strips, deep fry and keep aside. Add vellulli Karam and toss well...this can be eaten immediately with rice and dal.
