Chole Bature Recipe

Chole bature, a spicy Punjabi recipe. A famous breakfast option in North India. Do not forget to have a glass of lassi with Chole bature. Its an awesome combination!! I have already shared the bature recipe with you. Today I am going to share the chola recipe.

Ingredients :

1. Kabli chana (chickpeas)- 1 cup
2. Salt to taste
3. Onion- 2 large
4. Tomato- 1
5. Red chilly powder- 2 tsp
6. Ginger-garlic paste- 1 tsp
7. Cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
8. Coriander seed- 1/2 tsp
9. Coriander powder- 1 tbs
10. Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
11. Hing- 1/4 tsp
12. Bhuna garam masala- 1/2 tsp
13. Tamarind paste- 1 tsp
14. Butter- 1 tsp(optional)
15. Oil- 4 tbs

Procedure:

Soak the kabli chana in water for at least 24 hours. Keep changing the water in between. Now in a pressure cooker add the washed kabli chana , some water and little salt. Pressure cook the kabli chana on medium flame until 4 to 5 whistles come. Remove the cooker and let the steam evaporate. 

Meanwhile Chop the onion roughly. Keep some (2 tbs) chopped onion aside. Heat 2 tbs oil in a kadhayi and add chopped onion , chopped tomato and crushed coriander seeds. Let them fry on medium heat until the onion turns lightly brown. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down. Blend the onion-tomato mixture in a mixer grinder. 

Heat remaining oil in kadhayi and add the paste. Keep frying the paste on low flame. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes. Add all the remaining masala powder and keep frying the paste. When the paste turns little dark, add the boiled chana to it. Mix well and let the chana get fried with the paste for 3 to 4 minutes. Add some water and cover the kadhayi. Let it cook over low flame. After 5 to 6 minutes, add salt and tamarind paste to it. Mix well. Cook over medium flame till the water dries up and reach the expected consistency. I prefer the kabli chana gravy to be mildly thick which is perfect with some paratha or puri. Adjust the salt level before turning off the heat. Add the scoop of butter to it and serve it hot with bature (for recipe click here). Sprinkle the chopped onion on top of it.

Paneer Pulao

Its one of my favorite pulao recipe. Its favorite because it takes such less ingredients and at the same time it tastes so yummy. A complete lunch item with a simple raita and some pickle.

Ingredients :

1. Long grain rice- 1 cup
2. Salt to taste
3. Oil- 4 tbs
4. Cumin seed- 1/2 tsp
5. Curry leaf- 7 to 8
6. Spring onion (chopped)- 2 tbs
7. Tomato (chopped)- 1/2 cup
8. Paneer- 1 cup
9. Green chilly- 2
10. Garlic- 2 cloves

Procedure:

Soak the rice in water for half an hour. Meanwhile make small cubes of the paneer. In a pan heat 3 tbs oil and add cumin seeds to it. When the seeds start crackling, add the curry leaves. Let them get fried for few seconds. When they change the color, add the paneer cubes and fry them on medium flame. Add the green chilly, chopped garlic and sprinkle salt. When the paneer cubes start turning brown add the spring onion and tomato. Just fry it for a couple of seconds or a minute and turn off the heat. Do not over fry the tomatoes as they will start to melt. 

In a separate pan heat 2 tbs oil and add the drained rice to it. Fry the rice till the water evaporates. Add some water. The water level should be just at the same level of the rice. Add some salt and cover the pan. Let the rice get cooked over medium flame. 

When the rice is almost done, turn off the flame and add the paneer mixture to the rice. Mix well and serve the rice hot.

Peas Kachori ( Matar ke kachori)

Have you ever gone to the small road side shops to eat hot kachoris during a cold winter morning? Is not that a great experience? Hot kachoris directly from the kadhayi to your plate and a sip in the special chai!! I just love it. Kachori have always been a hot favorite for breakfast in our family. The day I make kachori, it seems we are having a picnic!! Here comes my special peas kachori recipe for you.

Ingredients :

1. Peas- 1 cup
2. All purpose flour- 1 and 1/2 cup
3. Salt to taste
4. Nigella seeds- 1/2 tsp
5. Oil- 2 large tbs
6. Water
7. Coriander seeds- 1 tsp
8. Dry mango powder- 1/2 tsp
9. Coriander powder- 1 tsp
10. Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
11. Red chilly powder- 1/4 tsp
12. Roasted cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
13. Cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp
14. Oil to deep fry

Procedure:

Boil the peas in a little salted water until one whistle. Let them cool and mash. Now in a bowl add flour, salt, nigella and 2 tbs oil. Mix everything well so that oil reaches every corner. The texture of the flour will change. Now add water slowly (very little at a time) and keep mixing the flour. For a nice dough, the water quantity should be perfect. Try to gather the dough and roll it till it turns elastic ( in Bengali this is called "thasa", it is an important part as this process helps the dough to achieve elasticity). Cover the dough with a wet cloth and keep aside for 15 minutes. Do not refrigerate the dough, as that will harm the texture of it.

Heat a pan and add cumin seeds and the roughly ground coriander seeds. When they start crackling, add 2 large tbs oil and all the masala powders. Let the masalas get fried for a minute. Add the mashed peas. Now for the mashed peas, I will suggest to mash them with hand. This will prevent the peas to be mashed up excessively by grinder. A little coarse peas stuffing tastes good!!

After adding the peas, mix well and let the mixture get fried for few minutes. When the mixture starts to stick to the bottom of the pan, add little water. This will help the flavors to mix. Add salt and fry the mixture for another 5 minutes. The mixture should turn brownish. Turn off the gas and let it cool down. If you stuff hot mixture in the kachori, they will tend to trap air and burst while deep frying.

When the mixture is ready, roll the dough for few seconds so that it regains its texture. Take medium size balls from the dough and roll it into 3 inch roti. Stuff a decent amount of the peas masal in it and cover the stuffing from all the end. Press between your palms to give the kachori a nice shape. Also make sure the ends are closed well or else while deep frying there will be a disaster!!

Heat oil in a large kadhayi. When the oil is ready, add the kachoris three to four at a time and fry them on medium flame. Turn the side of the kachori. 

When the kachori turns light brown, take them out and drain the excess oil. Serve the hot peas kachori with some cold curd and tamarind sauth.

Do participate in the ongoing baking event Bake with your heart!! This sabudana khichdi is a time saver recipe and surely kids gonna love it as snacks.

Ingredients:

1. Sabudana- 1 cup
2. Potato- 1
3. Curry leaf- 6 to 7
4. Cumin seed- 1/2 tsp
5. Mustard seed- 1/4 tsp
6. Black pepper powder- 1/2 tsp
7. Salt to taste
8. Cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
9. Red chilly powder- 1/2 tsp
10. Tomato- 1/2
11. Green chilly- 2
12. Oil

Procedure :

Soak the sabudana in water for 3 hours. After every one hour change the water. Boil the potato and peel the skin. Cut the potato in small pieces. Now heat a pan and add cumin and mustard seeds to it. After few seconds when a roasted smell of cumin will come, add 2 tbs oil to it. Add chopped curry leaf. Let them fry for a minute and add sliced green chilly. After a minute or two, add the small pieces of potato to the pan. Let the potatoes get fried properly. Sprinkle salt, pepper, cumin powder and red chilly powder. Turn the potato pieces carefully otherwise they will get mashed up. Add some more oil if needed. When the potato starts turning brown, add the drained sabudana and chopped tomato to the pan.

Keep stirring the sabudana or else it will stick to the bottom of the pan. Add some more salt if needed. Fry the sabudana in the masala for 4 to 5 minutes, keeping in mind that they should not stick to each other. When its done, serve it hot with your choice of chutney or pickle.I love to have it with a sweet and sour tamarind saunth.

Basil Sausage fry

Time has changed. Its 10:30 in the morning here, and back there in India its around 10 at night. I guess my blogging timing has not changed yet. Hubby is off to work, there is a lot of stuff that I have to do right now, but I am not feeling like to do anything. Being a little lazy. After a long time I got some time to spend on my blog. The blog , which is a part of my happiness. When I look back, I can see how I used to be so excited everyday when I used to get any word of appreciation from my fellow bloggers. It was a regular thing to show all of them to my hubby and get more appreciations from him :) ....so now when I can't be that much active in the blog for a while, I feel there is something missing in my daily chores.

So today's special menu is Basil sausage fry. For this recipe use fresh basil leaves and you will see the wonder in the recipe. For vegetarians I would suggest try it with paneer cubes and make the paneer cubes a little large. I am sure you will love it.

Ingredients:

1. Basil leaf- 15
2. Salt to taste
3. Chicken sausages- 5 to 6
4. Dark soy sauce- 1 tbs
5. Black pepper powder- 1/2 tsp
6. Coriander leaf- 5 to 6
7. Olive oil- 2 tbs
8. Tomato ketchup- 1 tsp
9. Mayonnaise- 1 tbs
10. Oil to fry

Procedure:

First prick the sausages with a fork and keep them aside. In a large mixing bowl add salt, soy, pepper and olive oil. Mix it well. Make a paste of basil leaves and the coriander leaves together. It should not be a fine paste. Just a rough grinding will do. Now add this paste to the mixing bowl and the chicken sausages. Mix them well and keep in the refrigerator for a day. This will help the sausages to absorb the marinade.

Now heat oil in a flat surface non stick  pan. Since we have already added oil to the marinade, you can either skip adding more oil to the pan or can add a little at the beginning. When the oil is hot, add the sausages and pour the marinade over them. Fry them in medium flame so that the sausages turn brown quickly. Then reduce the flame to low and keep frying each side of the sausages. Sometimes the basil leaves will stick to the bottom of the pan and can cause a burning smell, don't worry and fry your sausages properly. It will take around 5 to 7 minutes. 

When done, place the sausages in a plate and serve with a dip of mayonnaise and ketchup. Enjoy the freshness of the basil and the tender sausages.

Bhindi Besan Fry

A crunchy fried bhindi....can be served with a hot cup of tea or with some hot rice daal. I love to eat it alone because of its little sour taste. Do try this recipe, it takes only few minutes to cook.

Ingredients:


1. Bhindi (Lady's finger)- 15 to 20
2. Besan (gram flour)- 1/2 cup
3. Cornflour- 2 tbs
4. Vinegar- 1/2 cup

5. Red chilly powder- 1/2 tsp                          
6. Dry mango powder- 1 tsp
7. Ginger-garlic paste- 1 tsp
8. Salt to taste
9. Cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
10. White pepper powder- 1/2 tsp
11. Oil to deep fry

Procedure:

Cut the ends of the bhindis and slice along the length. In a large bowl mix besan , cornflour, salt , chilly powder, mango powder , cumin powder , pepper and ginger-garlic paste.  Mix everything well. Add the vinegar slowly and mix every time. Make a paste of it. This paste should not be too watery or else it will not coat the bhindis well. 

One can also make the paste using water instead of vinegar. But vinegar gives a nice sourness to the coating and it binds really well. Now dip the bhindis in this batter and heat oil in a kadhayi to fry them. The oil should be medium hot for frying the bhindis. If it is too hot , the coating will start getting burnt before the bhindi is cooked from inside. After frying keep them on paper napkin to soak excess oil and serve hot bhindi besan fry.

Sabudana Vada / Tikki

After a long time I am writing a recipe post here. Sabudana tikki or sabudana vada , a known recipe during fasts in North India. It is a very easy recipe yet very tasty. My mom used to make sabudana payasam which I never enjoyed that much but this fried recipe of sabudana is a super hit in my kitchen :)

Ingredients :

1. Sabudana- 1 cup
2. Potato- 2 large
3. Green chilly- 2
4. Cumin seed- 1 tsp
5. Dry mango powder- 1/2 tsp
6. Chaat masala- 1/2 tsp
7. Black salt to taste
8. Red chilly powder- 1/4 tsp
9. Black pepper powder- 1/4 tsp
10. Salt to taste
11. Roasted cumin powder- 1/2 tsp
12. Oil to deep fry

Procedure:

Soak the sabudana in water for an hour (the water level should be a little more than the sabudana level , not more). This will help the sabudana to puff. Do not let the sabudana to puff too much, that will make them too soft. Boil the potatoes and remove their skin and keep aside. Now chop the green chilly. In a large bowl mix mashed potatoes , sabudana , green chilly and rest of the masala powders. Mix them well without mashing the sabudana too much. Now heat oil in a kadhayi to deep fry the tikkis. 

Take lemon size balls from the mixture and press them gently to form tikkis. Let the tikkis rest for 10 minutes in refrigerator so that they bind well. When the oil is ready, add the tikkis one by one and fry them on medium flame. Turn the tikkis and fry the other side until they turn brown. 

Tips: 1. To get a super crunchy surface keep frying the tikkis on low flame for a longer time that will make the potato layer crunchy.

2. Serve the tikkis with some curd and tamarind saunth.

3. After taking the tikkis out of refrigerator wait for them to come down to room temperature otherwise while deep frying they might burst.

(Big) Baby's Day Out-Dallas Zoo experience

Few days back when I was in Austin, I saw the movie Baby's Day Out. It was not the first time that I saw the movie, but it is such a beautiful movie, that every time I see it , I find it totally adorable. So that is why my today's little trip is called (Big) Baby's Day Out!! Here it goes:

It is a lovely bright morning outside. When I removed the curtain of my hotel room at the 18th floor, I could see the farthest bridge outside clearly. There was no cloud at all. What a great day to go out for a small picnic!! So we reached the Dallas Zoo at 11:30 a.m (it is open daily from 9:00 am to 4 pm). As soon as you come closer to the zoo , a huge 60 plus ft statue of giraffe will greet you at the entrance of the zoo. Buy your tickets ( its $ 12 per person for adults) and you are in!! Now take the map in your hand  and the day is yours. We decided to go for the large animals first and hence we took the tunnel towards the Wilds of Savana. And from here starts the colder part of the zoo.

The small penguins were looking sooo cute......and one of them was really photogenic...it was giving pose to everyone whoever was clicking :). Then come the big elephant waterhole.....the jumbos were busy in mud bathing there. In the same enclave you will see lots of giraffes, ostrich (I saw a dancing one!!), zebras. Your little one will surely feed the giraffe.....its just 4 to 5 lettuce leaves for $5!!(ouch...:P). Feeling hungry? Go to the Serengeti grill and enjoy your lunch while looking at the sleeping lions (they slept most of the time , only twice or thrice one or two woke up and roared looking at the delicious foods). It is a restaurant with top to bottom glass enclave at one side which is next to the lion habitat. So you will see rush to this restaurant most of the time. The best time is around 1:30pm when most of the people will be on their way to different cages. You can also bring outside food and drink if you want.

Do go for the monorail experience. It is $3 per person and is open till 3:30 p.m. You will take a round tour of the Wilds of Africa and will see few parts which were inaccessible ( at least we could not find out any way to go there). The views were really breath taking. And at one point you will have to go through a small water falls (don't worry, you will not get wet).

There I am

We did not find anything special in the children park. But I could see how the children were happy there playing on their own. The dark room of reptiles was horrible.....all the snakes....uff. 

At 4:00 p.m. , we went out of the zoo with a happy big smile on our faces just like the small kids. It could not have been better than this. I loved the zoo and we relived our childhood again.
