Kadappa - A Tongue Tickling Sidedish!



Kadappa1


Idly and dosa are awesome comfort food as well as neutral in taste. They are so versatile that you can spice it up with any side dish as per your choice. Kadappa is my first and best choice for idly and dosa. :)


Ingredients:

Moong dhall - 3 tbsp
Potato - 2
Onion - 2
Coconut scrappings - 4 tbsp
Poppy seeds - 1 tsp
Ani seed - 2 tsp
Cloves - 2
Marathi Mokku (dried flower pods) - 1/2 flower
Garlic - 10 pods
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Green chillies - 6
Salt - for taste


Kadappa


Method:

Cook moong dhall, potato and onion and keep it aside. Grind all the other ingredients in a mixie adding some water to it. Now take the the ground paste in a bowl and add the cooked moong dhall, potato and onion to it and let this boil for ten min. Once done, simmer the stove and add lemon juice to it and mix well.

Kadapa is ready to eat. Serve it with hot idly or dosa. :)


Kadappa2

Decoration: I used mini idlies to decorate around the kadappa.

    The kadappa looks very inviting and it will be something new to try out with idlis. What is the marathi.mokku..sorry I forgot the name of the spice, but hopefully you can give me a name that I will understand.

    Thanks to all. :)

    Pari: I really dont know a better name for the marathi mokku. Its a kind of dried flower.

    Do take a look at this link. The flower shaped spice in the pic is marathi mokku.

    I think children can use these mini idlis decorated at the sides. :)

    The kadappa looks good when inside your decorations. I think it is not a side dish it is a center dish. :)

    This dish is amazing,,,, my wife was supposed to write a comment ,,,,, i hacked her account and writing this comment... :)...

    This kadapa dish was really great and finger licking tasty...!!!!!! :) :)....

    though it tasted like a combination of vadagari( chennai's staple side dish) and rosted chick pea kurma it's taste was tantalizing...

    I love it ....

    Yummyyyyy......
