BREAD PIDI KOZHUKKATTAI

Though we are having varieties of breakfast recipes with us, still early in the morning all moms have a question what to make for breakfast.

I was making the normal pidi kozhukkatai or it is known as upma kozhukkattai, and few slices of left over bread was there with me.  The tuvar dal paste was bit excess with me so  I thought of trying this bread pidi kozhukkattai and it turned out very tasty and yummy.  I never expected that this will a hit.

  Since it is quite tasty, I am sharing the recipe with you all.

As usual, we can serve this with moru kootan, sambhar and any kind of chutney.

Let us look at the recipe now:

Ingredients:

4 slices	Brown bread
1/4 cup	Tuvar dal
2  -3 nos	Green chilli
Few	Curry leaves
Small pc	ginger
	salt
Tempering:
2 tbsp	Oil
1 tsp	Mustard seeds
1 tsp	Urid dal
Generous pinch	Asafoetida
2tbsp	grated coconut

Method:

Step 1

Wash and soak the tuvar dal for 30 minutes. (Alternatively, you can do this process and keep in fridge – Wash and soak the tuvar dal and dry it completely.  Just crush it and store in airtight container in fridge.  Green chilli can be crushed and added at the time of making the kozhukkattai.)

Grind together, the dal, green chilli, ginger, curry leaves coarsely, keep aside.

Step 2

Make the bread powder by hand.  Add the tuvar dal mix in the bread and the coconut.

Heat oil in kadai.  Add the mustard seeds, when it splutters, add the urid dal. When it turns brown, add curry leaves, asafoetida and put in the bread crumbs.

Mix well the above till it forms a dough.  If  need be sprinkle, little water not much.

Step 3

Heat water in a steamer.  Pinch out lemon size balls and smoothen the same and steam cook for 5 minutes.

Bread pidi kozhukkattai is ready to serve.

How to serve:

Serve hot with chutney, sambhar and morukootan.

NOTE:

Best tastes when it is served hot.  instead of water, you can add bit curd for binding if  need be.
