My Grandma’s specialty dish, one dish that I crave often and enjoy to the core…<\/p>\n
Chakkoli is a popular dish in my mom’s hometown Thrivuvithamcode in TamilNadu.<\/p>\n
I had already posted the recipe for making Chicken Chakkoli<\/a>,<\/strong> in which chicken is added along with the rice dumplings and then cooked with the coconut gravy. However, this dish tastes better and is traditionally made with shrimp. One of the dishes my grandma makes whenever I visit her. I don’t make this that often, I make this when I get the irresistible craving for it and that’s when it tastes even better.<\/p>\n There are different ways of making this dish and has different names too. This dish is made in Kerala and in some parts of Tamil Nadu. Some of the names of this dish are chakkoli, thakkidi, kunji pathal etc. In my family, this dish is known as chakkoli and is made either with shrimp or chicken. Most dishes taste delicious when served warm, but this dish tastes better when it sits for a long time, and the next day it gets better.\u00a0 The rice dumplings in this dish resemble to gnocchi which is made of potato dough. The only tiring part is making the rice dumplings, well it’s not that tiring; make this when you have your friends and family around, making this is more fun when you have more people around \ud83d\ude42 Absolutely delicious dish, and one of my favorite dishes.<\/p>\n
