Tuesday, July 5, 2011    Paladai is a very thin crepe made out
of rice. This looks similar to the skin of milk.That's where it
derived its name from.This is a very popular dish among the
muslim population of kanyakumari district.This can be served
with any gravy, but I prefer it with nonvegetarian gravy. I want
my vegetarian friends to try and enjoy this dish at home; so I
omitted the egg when I made it today. But the traditional recipe
has egg in it.  1 cup Basmati rice, washed and soaked in hot tap
water for half an hour 1/2  cup thick coconut milk 1 egg (I
omitted this today, but the traditional recipe calls for it)
salt to taste   Grind the rice to a very fine batter (along with
egg if you are adding one). Add coconut milk and salt.The batter
should be very thin (the consistency of buttermilk). The batter
does not need to be fermented. It should be made right away.
Heat a non stick frying pan, pour a ladle of batter and swirl it
all around to thinly coat the edges and the middle of the pan.
It will take
