Veggie Bonda for Blog Hop

Hello Friends,


With new year, our Blog Hop has changed a little. Now we will be doing it just once a month and the same pair will cook from each other's blog than a difficult schedule to remember. Thanks Radhika for all the effort in making these changes and maintaining it. Kudos Girl !!! Please do check what everyone is cooking.


This month, I am paired with Neetz of Kitchen Express. She has a wonderful blog with too many delicacies to choose from. But, when I was choosing, I picked these Veggie Bonda, just because they looks delicious and I had some leftover dosa batter handy :) Thanks Neetz for this delicious recipe.


What I changed was instead of deep frying them, I made them like paniyaramas using my pan, in order to try to eat little healthier.


Veggie Bonda Paniyaram Style (Crepe Batter Fritters)


Ingredients
Dosa Batter -  4 cups
Rice Flour  -  2 tbsp
Carrot - 1 cup, grated
Onion - 1 cup, medium sliced
Curry leaves - 3 twig leaves
Cumin Seeds - 2 tsp
Salt - as per taste
Preparation

  • Very simple, mix all the ingredients together.
  • Heat Oil in a pan (enough to deep fry) or heat up a paniyaram pan and spray with a little bit of oil.
  • If using deep frying method, take a spoonful and drop them in hot oil slowly and fry till golden brown and drain them on paper.
  • If using paniyaram pan, pour a spoonful (depending on the pan size) in each hole and let it cook on both sides till golden brown.

Serving
Serve hot with your favorite chutney. We enjoyed them a lot.


That's all for now. Take care till next post.

Banoffee Pie for Sweet Punch of January

Hello Friends,


I am here after another long gap. But, I am here with a wonderful Banoffee Pie recipe that was picked as this month's Sweet Punch recipe. It is a wonderful English Dessert.


I got to tell you how daunting it looked first and then how really easy it was to make. It was like just assembling everything, if you use pre-made Dulce De Leche. Of course, I chose to make my own Dulce De Leche, but a short-cut way explained very nicely by Aquadaze. She has listed a couple of ways of making it and me being me, I picked the easiest one. Actually, I made it at the last minute and did not have time to do the original authentic way of cooking condensed milk for 3 hours, which I will surely try the next time.


Without further ado, here is the recipe and enjoy the pics that go with it. Sorry, I didn't get a pic where it looks overall or a slice pic, but hope you like these. 


Banoffee Pie
Recipe Resource: Swapna's Cuisine




Ingredients
Dulce De Leche - 1 can (14 oz.) - I made it using Aquadaze's Microwave method.
Digestive Biscuits - 2 cups, Marie or Parle G (like I used), powdered
Butter - 2 tbsps, melted
Banana - 3 medium ones, sliced
Whipped Cream - 2 cups (whip 2 cups of heavy whipping cream with desired amount of sugar, and that should be good enough)
Chocolate sauce or chips or cocoa powder - to drizzle at top for garnishing
Preparation

  • Arrange all items before hand and it will be easy to assemble
  • Mix powdered biscuits with butter and make a nice crusty dough and spread it as a first layer on the pie dish (I chose to bake this @ 350 F for 10 min.)
  • Once the crust is @ room temperature, spread the layer of Dulce De Leche
  • Now, arrange banana slices in any way you want. I added 2 layers of banana
  • Cover the whole thing with desired amount of (or all of) whipped cream.
  • Now, decorate it the way you want. In my house, none of the boys like chocolate, so I just went white with little grated chocolate.

Serving
Cut it into slices and serve it chilled.


That's all for now. Take care till next post.

Corn Meal Rava Dosa for Blog Hop

Hello Friends,


Again late for my Blog Hop entry this week. I was paired with Anu of Anu's Healthy Kitchen. Please do check what other bloggers cooked for this one by clicking on the link of Blog Hop.


Wanted to pick something different and my eyes spotted this. I am like wait, a dosa out of corn, that sounds interested. And, so here I am with her Corn Meal Rava Dosa.


For those who do not know, dosa is a crispy crepe that is made usually with rice and lentil batter. A very gluten free recipe for someone who cannot enjoy usual crepes.


I couldn't believe how normal or regular dosa like it came. My son couldn't tell the difference and neither could I. Same crispiness as if you used rice in it. So, without further ado, here is the recipe.


Corn Meal Rava Dosa
Ingredients
Urad Dal (skinned split black gram) - 1 cup
Idli Rava (cream of rice) - 1 cup
Corn Meal (white or yellow) - 2 cups
Eno Salt - 1 tsp
Baking Soda - 1/2 tsp
Salt - for taste
Oil - for cooking dosas (and not to be mixed in the batter)
Preparation

  • Soak Urad Dal for 3-4 hours and grind it to a smooth paste.
  • Add idli rava and corn meal to it, mix well. 
  • Add water to bring it to dosa or pancake batter consistency.
  • Let it sit overnight or for about 8 hours before you use it.
  • Now, add the rest of the ingredients (eno, salt and baking soda) and mix well.
  • Add more water, if needed.
  • Heat a non stick pan.
  • Take a spoonful or 2 of the batter, pour it on the tawa and spread it in a circle till it is nice and thin.
  • Sprinkle or spray little oil on the sides and on the dosa itself.
  • Let it cook on both sides for about 30 seconds or till golden brown or the texture you prefer.
  • Enjoy !!!

Serving
Serve it with any sambar or chutneys you like. Make them crispy or soft per you liking.


That's all for now. Take care till next post.
