It is a very traditional tiffin. It is mostly prepapred in the evenings since it is labelled as a ligh tiffin. It is known as Koozhu in Kerala whereas in TamilNadu it is called morkali.
It is an easy to make tiffin with simple ingredients.
It is an easy to make tiffin with simple ingredients.
Rice flour - 1 cup
Buttermilk - 1 cup
Water - 1 cup
Salt as required
For Seasoning
Oil - 1 tblspn
Mustard - 1 tspn
Chana dal- 1 tspn
Curry leaves- few nos
Green chilly (chopped) - 1 nos
Curd chillies (thayir molagai) - 3 Nos
Take a bowl. Add oil. Keep in MW for 30 seconds.
Add mustard and again keep for 30 seconds. When mustard splutters, add the rest of the seasoning and leave for 1 minute.
In another bowl, make a thin batter out of the rice flour, buttermilk, water and salt. Mix well. Pour the batter over the seasonings in the first bowl.
Cook in MW high for 4 minutes. Stir once in between.It will be cooked well.
If you touch with a wet finger, it should not stick to your finger.
It can be eaten as it is else can be cut in to pieces.
To cut into pieces,grease a plate with oil and spread the kali on it and level it with a spoon. Cut into squares and serve cool with pickle or chutney of your choice.
This can be cooked on stove top also. Now you can guess why I cooked in MW. Yes, this goes to Srivalli for her MEC-Tiffin, the theme for the month of January.
Morkali with curd chilis is my favorite too Jayasree. Very nice sliced cakes :) Viji (Vcuisine)
