9. Stick all four sides by squeezing the wet edges of both slices together. Take care not cut the bread slices
10. Repeat the same rest of the 6 slices too. So now you have 4 sets of sandwiches.

Thari Kanji/ Semolina porridge

When I was working in Trivandrum soon after the college days, along with friends, we used to stay at a rented house. Every evening, we used to buy vegetable, milk, curds, fis etc on daily basis as we didn't have a fridge there.. (Can't imagine living without a fridge now..). And we cooked each night wonderful dinner with rice, curry, thoran and at times with fish or chicken too.. Sonia was the expert in fish cutting and frying.. mmm... beautiful days from past...So coming back to thari Kanji, it was one of the very common breakfast item for me and Kavya on most of the busy mornings. And almost all days had busy mornings, we had to apply kastoori manjal to increase our complexion, we had to gossip about everyone around us, we had to select the dress for office...etc etc :D
Thari Kanji is a very quick, easy to cook breakfast with mild sweet taste.  It is one among the many yummy Nombu thurakkal ( breaking Ramzan fasting) dish as well. It is considered to be good for lactating mothers too.. My mom used to make this for me every day after I gave birth to my lovely son..

2. Semolina/ Rava, roasted - 2.5tbs

Note:

• When rava is cooked, its solid white or cream color will change to a bit transparent
• Thari Kanji is not a very sweet dish, it should be mildly sweetened

Method:

1. Heat 1.5 cup milk in a saucepan
2. Add cardamom and saffron if you are using it
3. When milk is hot, add rava and  stir so that there is no lumps formed
4. Once the rava is cooked, add sugar and mix well
5. If porridge  is too thick, add little more milk, if too thin, add 1/2 to 1 tsp more rava and cook it.
6. Switch off the flame and enjoy it warm

Cherupayar thoran/ Green gram stir fry

Cherupayar thoran is a traditional Kerala dish which goes well with rice or Kanji/ Rice porridge. I think each house hold have their own recipe for thoran, basically any thoran has the main ingredients plus shredded coconut, coconut oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, green chilli and shallots..

1. Cook cherupayar in a pressure until it is cooked and drain it. It must be soft when pinched, but retain its shape. We don't want a mushy thoran :). It took 5 min in pressure cooker for me
2. Crush coconut, green chilli, shallots and cumin seeds using a mortar and pestle or use a blender and pulse few times. We are looking for coarsely crushed mix
3. Heat coconut oil in a pan
4. Splutter mustard seeds in it
5. Add dry red chilli, garlic and curry leaves to it  and give a toss. (Be careful while doing this as the oil is hot)

Sughiyan/ Green gram bean sweet snack

Sughiyan is a fried sweet snack made with green gram dal/cherupayar. It is a typical Malabar evening snack and my Dad's favourite. We never used to make this at home as me and my brother was not fond of it during our childhood. I think I have tasted it only once or twice before. Since Ramzan is coming up, I was looking for nombu thurakkal snacks and Sughiyan caught my attention. And, since we are relocating soon, I wanted to finish off all those grocery items in my kitchen store.

The below recipe yields sughiyan with a crispy outer shell and soft and delicious inside. It has that earthy taste from green gram dal, sweetness from jaggery and wonderful scent of cardamom.

Ingredients:

1. Green gram dal /Cherupayar- 1 cup
2. Jaggery - 150gm
3. Cardamom - 1 
4. Salt a pinch
5. Coconut, shredded - 1/2 cup
6. Flour - 1 cup
7. Turmeric powder or Yellow color - a pinch/ 1 drop ( optional)
8. Ghee/ clarified butter - 1 tbs
9. Oil for frying
10. Cashews and raisins - 10 each ( optional)

Note:

• This recipe give 10 medium sized Sughiyan
• Don't over cook green gram dal. Dal should be soft when pinched but it must retain its shape
• I have made sughiyan even without using optional items. It still tastes as good
• Turmeric or yellow color is added to get yellow color of the batter. It doesn't impact the taste
• Using unniyappam chatti for frying helps to retain the ball shape without breaking. And also helps to reduce the frying time and wastage of oil

Method:

1. Cook green gram dal in a pressure cooker till cooked. Don't over cook the dal. We don't want to mash it to paste. 
2. Take out the seeds from cardamom and powder it
3. Heat ghee in a pan.
4. Fry cashews and raisins in it
5. Add cardamom and coconut and give it a toss
6. Melt jaggery in half a cup of water and strain it through a fine mesh to remove dirt
7. Mix cooked green gram , salt and jaggery to the coconut mixture and cook it till the liquid is almost dried up
8. Switch off the flame and keep it for cooling
9. When it is still warm, make lime size or small balls out of it
10. Keep it in fridge
11. Take flour in a deep bowl 
12. Mix with a pinch of salt
13. Add water, around 1 cup to the flour and make a lump free batter
14. The batter shouldn't be too thick or thin. Consistency should be similar to dosa batter
15. If you are using turmeric or yellow color, add it to the batter now. I didn't use both 
16. Now heat oil in a kadai or unniyappam chatti
17. Dip each ball in the batter and fry it in medium flame
18. All sides of sughiyan should be fried well

Hot fried sughiyan with hot tea or coffee on a cool rainy evening with your family..mmm

Pidi / Rice balls in coconut milk

Pidi is a dish made with rice flour and coconut milk and usually served with chicken or meat curry. I think it is a traditional dish of Jacobites in Kerala.  I heard about Pidi for the first time from my friend Susan. Susan is one of my best friend. We studied together in 11th and 12th std and then for Engineering at Kothamangalam. Her house was close to Kothamangalam college.  During all my study leaves, which is usually 1 month, I go home, Calicut, for the first few weeks, after that I used to stay at Susan's house for atleast 1-2 weeks. :) Those were some memorable days in my life which I always cherish, company of one of my best friend and her wonderful parents + delicious food cooked by her Mom...Good old days..
So coming back to Pidi recipe, here it goes.

Ingredients:

1. Rice flour (fine)- 1.5 cups

4. Switch off the flame
5. Once the flour is almost mixed with water keep it closed till the dough is cooled enough to be touched with hand (it should still be warm)
6. Knead the dough with hand well and make small balls out of it.
7. Heat 2.5 -3 cups of coconut milk in a sauce pan. (if using coconut paste, make thin coconut milk using 3 tbs of coconut milk paste = 2-3 cups of thin coconut milk)
8. Once the coconut milk is about to boil, add pidis/ rice balls in to it. (don't stir). All balls must be fully dipped in coconut milk. If needed, add more coconut milk
9. Cook pidis in low flame for 5 minutes.
10. Give careful stir in between so that pidis don't stick to the bottom and also the stir should not break the pidis
11. Once the coconut milk consistency is thick enough for your liking (some like it thick like me or you can leave it thin too )and pidis are fully cooked through ( took around 15-20 minutes for me), switch off the flame.

Note:

• Pidis can be served with chicken curry
• You may add 1-2 tsp of sugar to the coconut milk to add slight sweetness to the pidis,  this is optional
• I have used Nirapara pathiri podi for making pidi
