Ragi munagakku rotte, Ragi Drumstick leaf Thalipeeth using grated carrot

Today's recipe Ragi drumstick leaf Thalipeeth using grated carrot which is very tasty and healthy. It is also known as Ragi pindi munagakku rotte in Telugu, Ragi muranga keerai adai in Tamil and Ragi nugge yele Thalipeeth in kannada. Thalipittu / Thalipeeth is famous Karnataka breakfast. It is very crispy, tasty power packed with lots of minerals, proteins. We can have it with any pickles or chutney's or simply with curd. I love to have it with hung curd 😋. We can also have it as evening snacks for kids after coming home. 



 The ingredients like drumstick leafs, grated carrot.. which we add in it are all healthy. We also add fresh grated coconut or small coconut pieces which adds good crunchy taste to thalipittu and also good for health. Adding  grated carrot is optional but to make it protein rich I add it.

** If drumstick leaves not available skip it, add remaining then it will become Ragi Thalipeeth 😄. 

** You can skip green chilli add only red chilli or can add green chilli paste too. 

**Do not prepare dough too thick, if you feel you dough is dry add some water and mix it. 

** If you feel your dough is too sticky then add some flour. 

** Adding rice flour is optional but it gives good crunchy taste. 

** Take care while spreading sheet on stove it may catch fire easily. 

** Apply oil to sheet/ cover everytime  while preparing thalipeeth, so that it won't stick to cover/ sheet while spreading on stove. 

** serve hot to  get good crispy taste. 

** Chew thalipeeth well otherwise you may get digestion problem. 

** Other variation is  you can fry onions, drumstick leaves, carrot in some oil and then add it in flour continue the same process.

Baby Corn Fritters, baby corn pakodas(bajji), How to prepare baby corn fritters for starters

Baby corn fritters are very tasty and easily prepared starter/ snack recipe, which is loved by all age people.  I was searching for sweet corn in Wednesday market @Jolarpettai. Then I saw bunch of fresh baby corns, I was bit confused in preparing batter. Then  Sangeeta Sethi di, #VegFoodies fb group friend helped me in preparing batter  for this fritters. It came our very tasty and crispy. Thanks alot di for helping😍.  We can have this fritters with  Green chutney or with tomato sauce/ ketchup. Prepare this healthy snack for your kids in this summer they will enjoy it. Point to remember is if you prepare fritters like bajji's(By dipping in thick batter) it won't stay crisp for long time. 



  Using maida in preparing batter will keep fritters crispy for long time. Instead of maida I used gram flour, rice flour and corn flour in 3:2:1 and fried in low to medium flame. I like the crunchy taste of baby corn when fried so I did not boiled it.

4) Now sprinkle salt, red chilli powder, 1 tsp of gram flour/  corn flour on baby corn. 



5) Coat the above well to baby corn and let it marinate till we prepare batter. 



6) Heat oil to deep fry fritters on low flames and take a bowl add gram flour, rice flour and corn flour. 


7)  Add all the spices turmeric, red chilli, salt, cumin powder one after other. 


8) Mix the above by adding little water  and then add finely chopped coriander and curry leaves. 



9) Add some more water and mix the batter. Batter should not be too thick or think.

Some batter was left so chopped 1 onion roughly and prepared onion pakodi's with that 😋. 




Note

* If you are comfortable with using maida then use 4 tsp of maida and 2 tsp of corn flour according to the quantity of corn u used. 
*Adjust red chilli according to your taste. 
* You can also add garam masala. 
* The color of fritters depends of the spices we add. 

Tips

** If you do not like raw smell of baby corn you can boil it for 3 to 4 minutes and drain water. 
** You can also add ginger garlic paste in batter if you like masala flavour. 
** If corn flour is not available then no problem add rice flour in place of it. 
** You can cut baby into 4 pieces  to get more crisp fritters. 
** You can also cut into small pieces according to your taste. 
** If you do not like it in bajji form then cut baby corn in 4 strips(thin)  just coat batter on the baby corn and drop in oil. 



** You can skip coriander and curry leaves, but it gives nice aroma and taste to fritters. 

** If you want more crispy use bread crumbs, after dipping corn in batter roll it in bread crumbs and then deep fry.
