Royal Icing

Royal Icing is a nearly flavorless icing that dries to a hard candy-like finish.Its a favorite of professional cake and cookie decorators.This is just a mix of powdered sugar and raw egg whites but due to the risk associated with raw eggs , its safe and easy to use the recipe using meringue powder.Meringue powder is a fine, white powder which are made form egg whites .Its available in most cake decorating and party stores . Plain royal icing is flavorless , so its better to add some kind of flavoring when we make the icing .This recipe makes about 3 cups of royal icing.


INGREDIENTS


4 cups powdered sugar
3 tbsp meringue powder
1/2 tsp extract (vanilla , almond etc)
6 tbsp water












DIRECTIONS

[2] After decorating, it takes many hours or even overnight for the royal icing to harden completely.

[3]If icing is too thick , add a bit more water . If too thin , add some more powdered sugar .

Kappa Vevichathu (Boiled Tapioca)

HOME | INDIMOM RECIPE | PRINTER FRIENDLY

Kappa (Tapioca) has been promoted from a poor man's food to the star of family feasts in Kerala.Being a Tattukada ( small road side shops) delicacy, everyone crave for Kappa in one form or other . My family makes kappa with ground coconut . But this time I decided to try something different. Tapioca diced , boiled , mashed and then lightly seasoned makes a simple and satisfying meal.Everyone has their own favorite accompaniment also. Kappa-Meen or fish curry , Kappa-Beef , Kappa-chicken, Kappa-pickle , Kappa-mulkaku chammandy or chilli chutney,Kappa Biryani - lots of choices.

Tapioca is a native of South America and the word is derived from a Brazilian language.This mainly starchy root , is treated and dried and is used in cooking.Tapioca in US market is usually the dried variety that looks like small white spheres . That is used in tapioca pudding . In my place , Kerala , we also get this dried version which is called 'chowwary' in Malayalam.Normally we used to make porridge out of it by adding milk , usually recommended for sick stomachs.Tapioca starch or flour is used as a thickening agent . In India , tapioca is sliced thin and deep fried to make tapioca chips also.

INGREDIENTS

1 kg tapioca diced
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
3 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp black mustard seeds
5 shallots or small red onions,sliced
4 dry red chillies
few curry leaves









DIRECTIONS
  1. You can use fresh or frozen tapioca. Most of the time when i buy those wax coated root from the market , I will have to throw away half of it .So these days I rely on frozen tapioca (yucca root) bags. Thaw about one kilogram tapioca or yucca root .
  2. Bring a large pot of water to boil.Dice the tapioca and add to the pot with tumeric powder and a generous amount of salt.Drain and mash it well using a wooden spoon .
  3. Heat the oil in a pan.Splutter mustard and add shallots and saute till they are brown.Add dry chillies and curry leaves . Finally add the cooked tapioca into the seasonings and mix well . Serve warm with pickle or red fish curry.

Get Set Go

Back when I was a little girl , I never liked to do anything in the kitchen.I grew up in a middle class family and I used to feel sorry for my mother who had to do all the houseworks by herself. Infact I studied hard all through those years just to make sure that I can buy some help and have a cooking-cleaning free life . Then I happened to marry a man who works in Unites States and moved here . Now even those works my mom never used to do , I have to do. But somewhere along the line , I started to enjoy cooking and started my culinary experiments. My recipebox got full with notes, my laptop got full with recipes ;then I started to look for a software that can organize all my notes and recipes.I couldnt find a good tool that could help me .The result of my frustration was my website www.INDIMOM.com. Favorites from me and my dear ones. This blog will be featuring the best of indimom recipes.Thanks to you all for your blessings
Yours truly
