Plantain chocolate cake.......the easy way.

My Coorgi friend Aman used to make this cake....it is so simple and easy. All you have to do is put all the ingredients in a mixie and give it a blend and pour it into a greased tray and bake it. I had sprinkled some chocolate chips on the batter before putting it into the oven. Green ripe plantains is a must for this cake (I have not tried with yellow ones). It takes a little longer than the usual time to bake other than that it is an easy-to-make-no-fuss-cake.

Ingredients:
Green ripe plaintains (pacha pazham): 3.
Oil: 1/2 cup.
Cocoa powder: 3 tbsp.
Maida: 1-1/2 cup.(200 ml cup)
Eggs: 2.
Vanilla essence: 1 tsp.
Sugar: 1 cup.
Soda powder: 1 tsp.
Little water or milk

Chocolate chips for garnishing.

Method:
In a mixer grinder, grind sugar first. Add chopped plantains and the rest of the ingredients and give it a blend add little water or milk in between. Pour it into a greased tray, sprinkle chocolate chips and bake.

Just out of the oven!!!

Note: It took almost an hour to bake this.

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy.
