I wanted to make some sweet in the last minute for my 3rd Anniversary... but dint want to make the usual Rava Kesari!!
I saw this recipe in Sharmi's Passions, to make kesari out of Aval/ flat rice. I just made a little changes in the procedure, used milk instead of water to make it super rich and ta da!! Made my anniversary special dessert for my hubby... in about half an hour. And it was too yummmy!! I can't forget the taste!
Now to the recipe for you:

Whenever I make a sidedish for roti/chapati/phulka, i always go by the traditional recipe of onion tomato base, grinding them to a paste, some masala powders and the gray is as usual. I was very skeptical of trying any sweet tasting gravy, as our tastebuds are accustomed to spicy main dish. This time I decided to try something very rich, royal and malai based... Usually I am stingy in adding cashews/ghee/milk/full cream to my dish. Always had a notion that they are not healthy for everyday cooking. I was a bit generous this time to try this recipe out... Methi Malai Mutter. (Recipe inspired from Sharmi's Passions) It has both the goodness of Methi leaves and sweetness of green Peas. I am sure I can make this item for any family get-together dinner next time. :) It turned out yummy and my hubby loved it a lot... he did not leave any traces of the gravy in the pan :P
So lets move on to the recipe...

After coming to Bangalore, I got familiar with a lot of Karnataka special dishes like Akki rotti, chiroti, jowar roti, kara bath, chow chow bath, vangi bath.... etc. But I never dared to try the Karnataka staple food - Ragi Mudhe, nothing but big Ragi balls eaten with sambar here. Out of these Akki rotti is my hubby's favorite and he also likes to try his hand in making them at home with me :) Akki rotti is an Indian style rice flour pancake.. you can either make it plain or add grated vegetables to make it more crunchy and healthier.
