Pepper Sev ~ Miriyala Jantikalu ~ Milagu Sev

Hi friends,

  How are you all? Hope everyone doing good 😊. Hope you all enjoyed Diwali with your family members.  As i told i was busy in taking care of my hubby, so i was not able to post new recipes. By God's grace he is recovered 🙏 , now i am back with new innovative recipes 🤗 . Once again Happy Diwali 🎆🎇.

         I prepared Pepper Sev and Besan Ladoo for Diwali. So thought to post pepper sev recipe today. At first i tasted this Pepper sev @ chennai railway station. It tastes good so i gave a try few days back Mr.S too liked it 🤗 . Having pepper in this autumn and winter seasons is good for health.  Pepper is good remdy for cough and cold as it  contains antioxidant and antibacterial properties.  

      Pepper sev is very easy to prepare and we can store it for long time. Do you remember your hostel days .. These muruku, janthikalu and sev saves us from having hostel food 💁🏼. Also we can carry it for long trips. This pepper sev/milagu sev/miriyala janthikalu is very crispy with peppers pungent taste and aroma. Today i am using black crushed pepper to prepare this pepper sev.  

Let's start recipe...

                Pepper Sev

Preparation Time :  10 minutes  
Cook Time : 15 minutes
Serves : 1 bowl
Category : Snacks
Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Main ingredients : Pepper       Author : Aruna

Ingredients

Besan/ Bengal gram flour/
Shanagapindi                        - 1 cup

Rice flour - 1/2 cup
Crushed black pepper - 2tsp
cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
salt - as per taste
Hing - 1/4 tsp
Butter - 11/2 tsp
Oil - to deep fry

                                               
Instructions to prepare Pepper Sev

1)  Crush black pepper and keep it aside. Sieve bean flour. 

& rice flour in a bowl.

2) Now add salt, turmeric powder, crushed pepper, cumin seeds, hing into bowl. Mix everything well.

3) Sprinkle some water on the above flour and mix it.

4) Add melted butter to the above and mix well, by adding little amount of water.

5) Give the above dough consistency.

6) I used gun model presser with shown model plate.

7) Divide the dough into two parts  like shown below and keep it into mould.

8) Take a Kadai add required amount of oil to deep fry. Check oil heat by dropping small amount of dough into oil. If it raises immediately, then slowly press the gun(muruku press)  by moving it into circular motion, maintain medium-low flames.

9)  Fry the above pepper sev both sides till it changes color and it becomes crisp. Approximately it will take 4-5 minutes fry the above miriyala janthikalu.

10) Repeat the above process for remaining dough  and keep it in a bowl. Fry pepper sev in medium low flames to get janthikalu crispy and crunchy.

Yummy, tasty and crunchy pepper sev is ready 😋😋.

Note

◆ You can add red chilli powder to get more spicy pepper sev. 

◆ You can also add garlic paste in the dough. I added hing as I do not like the raw smell of garlic. 

◆ Maintain the flour ratio properly ( 1 besan : 1/2 rice flour) to get crunchy pepper sev. 

◆ Maintain the medium low flame while frying pepper sev to get good taste and color. 

◆ You can also add hot oil while mixing dough to get more crispy janthikalu. 

◆ Keep dough smooth like Chapathi dough.

 Tip

● Store the pepper sev in air tight container, so that pepper sev will be crispy for long time. 

● Semi crush the black pepper  before adding into dough. Otherwise you can't press muruku set smoothly. Pepper will stuck into wholes. 

● Be patience while frying pepper sev, do not keep flames high to fry janthikalu quickly. It will change the color dark. 

● Close the lid or cloth on remaining dough, so that dough will be smooth. 

● If you feel dough became hard, sprinkle little amount of water and mix it till dough become smooth.

Gummadikaya majjiga pulusu, Kumbalakai majjige hullu, Pumpkin buttermilk curry

Today's recipe is Kumbalakai majjige huli in kannada, Gummadikaya majjiga pulusu in telugu and the name i decided in english is  Pumpkin buttermilk curry 🤗 . The pumpkin which i am using today is in orange color. In telugu we call it as gummadikaya, in kannada as Kumbalakai, in Tamil as parangikai. Today's recipe is No Onion No Garlic for upcoming Dussehra festival . We use to get pumpkin in all seasons when we are in Odisha( Talcher  & Khurdha were we stayed), each piece for 10/- 😃.  After coming Jolarpet (Chennai) i found it in market yesterday for first time. There are number of varieties in pumpkin, white pumkin, yellow pumpkin..  But we both like  this orange colored pumkin alot. Recipes which we can prepare curries,fries, halwa and many more recipes with pumpkin.

      We can prepare this huli by adding channa dal, rice etc., but this is plain and simple way which I use to prepare regularly, this majjiga huli is less spicy and goes well with rice.
