I messed up the butter mixture by melting the butter. It is better to keep the butter in a spreadable consistency to prevent it from flowing out while cutting. Even with the messy filling, the rolls turned out...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/cinnamon-rolls.html/feed 2 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/slow-cooker-rice-kheer.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/09/slow-cooker-rice-kheer.html#comments Thu, 08 Sep 2016 02:07:33 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=22622 Today is a simple, but delicious recipe that pretty much gets done on its own in the slow cooker. All you have to do is add the ingredients and walk away. Come back to a totally addictive dessert that makes guests think that you were slaving for hours at the stove .

Back home, we make adai with drumstick leaves usually. I do not get drumstick leaves here and kale is my closest substitute. Onion gives a nice crunch to the adai and kale blends in perfectly. Adai-Aviyal is a perfect combo.

From my artisan bread recipe, “You make the dough by mixing all the ingredients (no kneading) and let it sit for 2 hours.
