five Ugadi Festival Recipes are not just yummy in taste but add a sense of
belonging to one’s that make them with the heart and soul. Without further ado,
let’s move onto the recipes for Ugadi.
- Tamarind Rice: One of the much awaited
recipes for Ugadi, the tamarind rice is simple and easy to create. Here’s
what you need to do - Heat oil in a deep fan on medium flame and add
mustard seeds to it when hot. Let it sizzle. Then add dried red chillies
and curry leaves. Next add some peanuts and tamarind water. Let it simmer
for a minute or two before you add haldi, salt, jaggery and freshly ground
spices and condiments. Cook it till it produces a paste like consistency.
Add cooked rice to this mixture and cook for another 10 minutes before you
serve it to your friends and folks.
- Butter Murruku: For fans of deep fried
items, Butter Murruku stays special. And if you are up for ugadi festival
recipes, then why not try out some easy-peasy butter murruku. Here’s what
you would need to buy from an Indian
Grocery Store for your home-made
personalized murrukus: Rice Flour, Fried Gram, Besan, Soft Butter, Water,
Asafoetida, Cumin / Sesame Seeds and oil.
- Medu Vada: Every south Indian food
lover’s 1st choice is a south indian snack like Idli and Medu Vada. And to
prepare some yummy Medu Vada, you need to start by soaking urad dal
overnight. Then turn it into a paste the next day (if watery, add some
urad dal flour or semolina to the mix). Next, add herbs, spices, onion,
water and salt - as per your need. Put oil in a deep pan (kadai) and let
it heat up. Next, add waters on your hands and start making round doughnut
shape (with your thumb and palm) and put them in the oil. Let it fry until
golden brown and then you are done!
- Payasam: For the Vermicelli payasam,
you will need ghee, dry fruits, milk, sugar, cardamom powder, and sugar.
You can easily find it at an online grocery delivery stores and have them delivered at your
doorstep. To make it, heat a pan on medium flame and add ghee. Next add
cashew nuts and raisins and saute until it turns golden brown. Next, add
vermicelli and stir for another 2 minutes. Once done, add milk, sugar and
cardamom powder. Let it simmer on low flame until cooked completely.
Even though these
dishes may not sound lavish or have a rich origin, they somehow manage to
capture the true essence of the festival through these lip-smacking Ugadi
