Moru Kachiyathu/ Seasoned Buttermilk




It’s the 11th night of Ramadan and at this point we all yearn for some traditional comfort food. One such comfort food for my husband is choru (cooked rice), mooru kachiyathu (seasoned buttermilk), sides like thora maanga (dried pickled mango), varavu (stir fried veggies) and Fried Fish. 

This is one combination that is not only comforting, but is soothing to the tummy. Yogurt/ buttermilk can enhance your gut health which can prevent digestive issues. 

A tradition that my Father in law has to have for suhoor😄 that being said, this is my MIL’s recipe. Though it may sound complicated, it is the easiest and the most heart warming Suhoor dishes.

The seasoned buttermilk gets done so easily and cooking the rice and storing in casserole helps for suhoor, also marinate the fish and prepare the stir fried veggies. There you go! You have a wholesome meal which is light on the tummy too.


Ingredients:

  • 360 ml Buttermilk/ Laban
  • 1 tbsp, cleaned White Rice/ pachari
  • 2-3 Shallots
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut 
  • Salt
  • Curry leaves

Instructions:

  1. In a mixer grinder add in all the ingredients except for salt and curry leaves.
  2. Grind to paste and pour the buttermilk mix to an deep earthen pot. 
  3. Now keep the earthen pot over medium flame and keep stirring, till the moru/ buttermilk starts thickening from the sides. (Make sure you don’t stop scraping the bottom of the pot and mixing simultaneously, as the moru or buttermilk can easily get burnt) 
  4. Finally add in salt as required and curry leaves, mix well and switch off the flame. ( Make sure not to allow the buttermilk to boil, or else it might curdle)
  5. Serve moru kachiyathu with rice and your favorite sides like thora manga, varavu, and fish fry. Ahh! Wholesome food ❤️

 Breakfast Cheddar Biscuits



Since it's the vacation season, kids are always at home, and this makes a great garb and go breakfast idea when you have made plans with your family. These biscuits when paired with some veggies and fresh juice, makes a great breakfast meal. These buscuits comes together very easily, no effort at all, I guarantee. 

The aroma that sits in the house is just, aaaah, sooo good. Well, of course, you have butter as the star ingredient. You can make them ahead and store it in the frezeer, so that you have something ready for your kids snack time. These are much similar to buttermilk biscuits that are my favorite, Popeyes biscuits. The crisp from the scallions are just so good. If you can get hold of some shredded cheddar cheese, do try this recipe. If you have made ahead, and frozen them, thaw the biscuits in the refrigerator overnight and bake them for 15 minutes and have it warm, and enjoy. 😋

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cup All purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder 
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Black pepper, crushed
  • Salt, as required 
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup Scallions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions:

In a large bowl add flour, baking powder, baking soda, black pepper and salt.
Work the cold butter into the flour, using fork/finger until crumbly in texture.
Add in the chopped scallions and cheddar cheese, mix well.
Now pour the buttermilk, little at a time and bring to a dough until not too sticky or too crumbly.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter top and kneed well, just until the dough comes together.
Flatten into a rectangle shape and fold the short sides overlapping each other and press down and flatten and repeat the process again.

Now flatten a little and using a dough scrapper/knife , cut the dough into 6 equal squares.

On a baking paper lined sheet, place a little cheddar cheese just before placing each biscuit. The cheese comes underneath each biscuit.
Brush the biscuits with melted butter and bake the biscuits in a preheated oven at 210 deg C for 15 minutes until golden brown.
Enjoy with semi boiled eggs and fresh fruits and juice for breakfast! 😋😍

Southern Buttermilk Biscuits AKA Popeyes Biscuits


Bismillah. 

And here I am finally doing what I really wanted to do; creating an impression on the taste buds using recipes from all around the globe. 





Being a big fan of the biscuits of POPEYES , a fast food restaurant chain, since childhood I and my siblings used to devour their buttermilk biscuits which were crunchy on the outside yet soft and pillowy on the inside which was filled with so much aroma that we used to actually buy it, sit and smell the biscuits for a good 2 minutes. Yeah I know it sounds crazy, but after you bake some of these I'm sure you would get what I am trying to convey. Since childhood, I used to wonder if we could bake these little softballs at home. Which indeed I did and oh boy did I get the expected results? Whoa, I was astonished and very happy that it came out so good. Better than what I expected it to be. Alhamdulillah.  



And so, I am proceeding to share a small piece of my childhood, which I hope and believe my dear readers would try and recreate; the famous SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS.
Go on, TAYST IT!


ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  •  50 grams of Butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  •      
  •  

                                 

How to Make It

Step 1
Combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt; stir well. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender/ a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually add buttermilk, stirring until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not over mix as overmixing can cause the dough to bake to a bread like texture.




Ready to bake!
Step 2
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 10 to 12 times. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness; cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter. Or make small balls out of it (I actually prefer the ball shape), because it resembled the real Popeye's biscuits. Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with a baking paper. Brush some buttermilk on the top of the biscuits for that extra crunchiness, and they are ready to bake. Bake at 400°f for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm.




Note: 
*If you do not have buttermilk on hand, you may take 1 cup of milk and 1 tbsp of white vinegar and give a little mix and allow it to stay for 5 minutes; your homemade buttermilk is ready to use.
