Ennai Katharikai

I have already posted a recipe similar to this but that dish is called katharikai katta which is served as an accomplishment for biriyani by the Ravuthar community people of Coimbatore , Salem , Tirupur , Erode ( kongu belt ) and Palghat . This is an dish very own to my hubby’s place . My mother -in – laws recipe is a bit complicating and a long process. I used to follow her recipe till a few years back. Once lunch was sent over from my hubby’s cousin brother’s house . As usual it was biriyani with its accomplishment’s . They had sent ennai katharikai also which tasted so very yum and tickled all our taste buds. I immediately called and got the recipe which was a sensational recipe bursting with mouth watering flavours . So easy to what i followed ( my mother – in -laws recipe ). From then on , stuck to this recipe . A slight sweet element in a Savoury dish heightens the flavours and creates a balance . In total this dish is a symphony of sweet and savory. My classmate Christine Coulton had come from Canada to visit me on a holiday and stayed at my place for a week. Took maximum care to entertain her in all means. She loved the Ennai katharikai I served her ( my mother- in – laws complicated version ) she took note of the recipe then and there . She did give the recipe a try and it was a great hit at her home. After a few months , she did call to get the recipe again as she lost the previous recipe note . By then I got to know the easier recipe version and told her this recipe instead. Though not convinced enough she took note and made it on a Sunday. she called me and said , she made quite a lot thinking to freeze half for later use but every thing just vanished in minutes on the table , following with high praise.
