BRIOCHE PARISIENNE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE

I found this recipe in Sousoukitchen blog. I have to say it is perfect brioche. You will need to be very patient as this dough needs to rise for 19 hours!

1/4 cup (30 g) dry milk
1 teaspoon dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 salt
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup (60 ml) warm

Kumbilappam/Vazhanayila Appam/Chakka Appam/Steamed Jackfruit Dumplings

Kumbilappam made with Vazhanayila

Kumbilappam is another authentic dish from Kerala.The main ingredient of this recipe is Chakka pazham(Jackfruit). Jackfruit, jaggery ,rice flour and some fresh coconut are mixed together to prepare the dough. It is then wrapped in Vazhanayila (this aromatic leaf gives a special flavour to the appam) in Kumbil(Cone) shape. That's why the name kumbilappam! The flavour of jackfruit and aroma of the leaves together gives a great taste to this dish.

Here goes my mom-in-law's recipe for kumbilappam.

Ingredients:

Ripe Jackfruit Bulbs(chopped finely) - 2cups

Jaggery(scraped) - 1 cup(adjust according to your taste)

2 Make a smooth paste of jackfruit pieces without adding any water.

3.In a big bowl add jackfruit paste,jaggery syrup and coconut.Mix well with your hands.

4.Add rice flour little by little and make a smooth dough.It should not be too thick or too loose.

5.Now take the leaf(Vazhana leaf or banana leaf) and make cones with it and fill the dough inside.

6 Bend the top of the leaves and press inside to cover the top.Use toothpicks to keep the leaves closed.

7Steam it around 30-45 minutes or till its done.

Here is some pics of kumbilappam that i made with banana leaves.

Notes

1 You can prepare this appam with Chakka varatti /jackfruit jam as well.Add some rice flour and grated coconut to the chakka varatti.Rest of the method is same as above.
