Rice flour for Kozhukattai and upma

 

Rice is needed for making many dishes, like sweet savoury Kozhukattai (steamed modaks ) rice upma etc. Store bought flour is very less starchy and too fine to handle. The end result is not upto the required standards. It is recommended to use rice flours specially while making South Indian dishes for the festive dishes. These can be made in advance and stored on shelf for 10 days or refrigerate for a month or 2 and can be stored in freezer for several months. I have stored left over flour in freezer on many occasions and it had worked perfectly for me.

How to cook quinoa

Quinoa is a whole grain that is rapidly growing in popularity due to its many health benefits.

Quinoa contains bitter tasting compounds called saponins, they are especially concentrated in the outer coating of quinoa.

These saponins can be easily removed by rinsing quinoa with water before consumption.

Although producers of most packaging companies have already removed most of the saponins, people may wish to give it an extra rinse before consuming it.

It is easy to incorporate quinoa into the diet. People can use it instead of rice in any recipe. Its small grains cook to tender in as little as 15 minutes.

Quinoa has a subtle nutty taste that makes it a very versatile ingredient. It can play a role in baking or as a breakfast grain. Quinoa also works well in hot side dishes, cold salads, and burgers.

Although people can cook and eat quinoa seeds in a similar way to most grains, the quinoa plant itself is more similar to beetroots and spinach.

RECIPE

Serves: 4 persons 

Prep time: none

Cook time: 12-15 minutes

Tools: Sauce pan

INGREDIENTS 

Quinoa 1 cup

Water 1.5 cups 

Pinch of salt

Oil 1 tsp 

METHOD 

As I am using already rinsed quinoa quality, I will directly add it to the pan and start cooking.

If you're using normal quality, then you will need to rub and wash it several times in clean water.

To the sauce pan with quinoa (on medium heat) add water, salt, oil and let come to a boil. 

Cover with lid and cook on low flame for 7 minutes. Keep stirring and checking in every 2 minutes interval.

Add more water only if required.

Once the quinoa looks soft like a cooked sago pearls, then it means it's cooked.

Use it any of your salad, pulao or a curd rice 😄recipe.
