After the rip-roaring success of the Serve It - Fried event (with 117 entries), here we are with the next theme for the Serve It - Series. The theme for this month is "Steamed". If frying makes everything taste better, Steaming is nothing less compared to it. There are authentic recipes in every cuisine which are steamed.
Steaming makes the food healthier and the amount of nutrients lost is very minimal compared to other methods of cooking. Steaming is when the food is cooked in steam or water vapour. It should not be confused with boiling, where the food is dropped into hot water. It is also different from double boiling, where the food's contact to the steam is undesired e.g. melting chocolate.
Here is the list to give an idea on examples of steamed foods...
When Idli, Idiyappam, Puttu(Pittu), Sevai, Kozhukattai (Modak),Momos, Dhokla, Paruppu urundai etc.,. makes the predominant Indian Steamed Foods, Dumplings, Dim Sum, Manapua, Shumai (Siu Mai) are few examples of the Oriental foods. However steamed vegetables and fish are always made in all cuisines.
Here are the guidelines for the event:
1. You may send in any entry that has been ‘Steamed’. Not to be confused with boiling/double-boiling/bain-marie method of cooking. Please do not link entries which are pressure cooked with water. If using the pressure cooker for steaming that is OK.
