Paddu Recipe | How to make Paddu | (Guliyappa recipe)

Hi friends, Thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is paddu. It has so many names like paniyaram, guntaponganalu, paddu or guliyappa, appe. Paddu is a South Indian breakfast recipe. Paddu is made with leftover dosa batter. Paddu or paniyaram is a very easy and simple dish any one can make. But we need to have the skillet. The paddu skillet has slots in it. I already posted ponganalu recipe in the website. Paddu skillet image is also posted in that, click the link to have a look of the skillet. I have a stone one so I use it, but non-stick paddu maker is also available online. I picked the paddu recipe from my SIL Chandra. This is also made with dosa batter only but we have add to some soaked chana dal, coriander and green chillis also. My mom also used to make it like the same way only. I like paddu as it takes very less oil.

Sabudana Khichdi Recipe | How to make Sabudana Khichdi

Hi friends, Thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is sabudana khichdi recipe. Sabudana or saggubiyyam as we call in Telugu is starch extracted from the roots of tapoica and processed into pearl like spears. Sabudana contains a high amount of carbohydrates, making it a fast energy booster. The khichdi is an Indian dish made from soaked sabudana (tapioca pearls). It is the dish of choice when an individuals observe a "fast" during Shivratri, Navratri, or any other Hindu religious occasion. It is typically prepared in Indian states of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat. In major towns like Mumbai, Pune, Indore, Bhopal, Jaipur and Nagpur, it is available as street food and is widely eaten throughout the year. Normally in Telugu states we do not eat anything that is cooked during fasting. So we consider it as a special dish and make it on a special occassion. I learned it from my sister in law who is a Marathi. The recipe needs a lot of coriander leaves but I add very less as my family members do not like it. If you like you can add it. We always love have sabudana khichdi recipe non sticky and without potato.

Thampeta Recipe | How to make Thampeta Recipe (Orange Burn)

Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website and youtube channel. Today's recipe is Thampeta recipe.
Thampeta (తంపెట), I really don't know how the name came. Those who can read Telugu can read the word given in the brackets. Others pronounce it first 'th' should be like 'Th' in 'theme', 'am' should be like 'um' in 'jump' or 'umbrella', 'pe' should be like in 'pen', and final 'ta' should be like in 'TOUGH', TURBINE.

Thampeta Recipe
Now about the fruit. It is called Citron or Oranges or Narinja in Telugu. According to google it is also called rough lime. We get them only in in Krishna, Guntur, Godavari and Prakasam districts of Andhra Pradesh state in India. Rather I have seen them only in those parts. These are available during winter season only. The fruit is sour in taste. Ripen fruit tastes sweet. The citron fruit skin has got lot of wrinkles or crease on it. Unlike sweet orange and lemon the skin of citron fruit is thick and also green in colour. Inside the fruit it appears like any other citrus fruit.
Now about the recipe. This recipe needs very less ingredients. And also it takes very less time to make. It goes very well with hot piping rice and a spoonful of ghee. Each half portion of the fruit can be shared among two people. Those who eat spicy food can take one half portion.
