Onion Fritters / Onion Bhaji – Vegan

Quick and easy vegan recipe of crispy Onion fritters also known as Onion Bhaji in Indian cuisine, mainly served as a snack or starter before a main course. Its also sometimes named as pakora (fritter) which are deep-fried in a batter of chickpea flour.

I make this quiet often when we want to munch on snacks and this is quick to prepare during weekends. Most of the recipes call for many ingredients for Onion Bhaji and I made it super-quick for minimal prep and time in the kitchen.

Preparation time : 5 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients

Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Onion – 1 medium, thinly sliced

Chickpea flour/ Gram flour / Besan – 1/2 cup / 70 g

Rice flour – 2 tbsp, for crispness

Water – 25 ml if required

Red chili powder – 1 tsp (optional)

Salt – 1/4 tsp

 

Directions

1. Peel and wash onion. Cut into thin slices.

2. Add chickpea flour or besan, rice flour, salt. Mix and coat together using your hands or spoon. It will turn sticky as onions release water while mixing. Do not add water yet until well mixed for half a minute.

Flower Crab – Curry (Mangalorean Recipe)

I have been wanting to make these crabs for so long but always had something else planned for the weekend. I have never cooked crabs nor had the slightest idea what should be done if the crab is alive, neither did my husband. I told my husband: “My job is to cook the crab yours is to kill it” (fair enough right? 😜). So, on Sunday we finally managed to wake up a bit early with excitement to get fresh crabs from the wet market near us. Hoping they were still available at the market we happily found them at one of the stalls I intended to buy from. I was expecting the crabs to be alive but they were slightly cold when touched, mostly frozen when transported from the port I believe, tied with rubber bands not moving. Husband: “My job is done!” with a grin. We let the person at the stall pick the crabs for us as he was better at picking the fresh ones, 4 huge crabs for 22$.

The process of cleaning crabs takes less than 15 mins for 4 crabs. Prepare a curry paste and let the crabs cook in the spice paste for 20 minutes. You must definitely give it a try by referring to pictures below 👏. Happy cooking!

IMG_8209

3. Remove the gills (spongy brown stuff) on both sides of the crab. I didn’t know those were gills until after I cooked them and realized they were inedible.

Gills_IMG_8198

4. Using kitchen scissors ✂ cut the walking legs (with hair) and discard.

5. Remove the entire claw of each crab (to make space in the cooking pot).

IMG_8211

6. In the end give it a through rinse to remove all the inedible stuff. If your container doesn’t hold the crab body, cut them into halves.

The crab is all ready to be cooked now.

 

1. Prepare the curry paste by adding all the ingredients in a blender. Grind to a smooth paste with water.

2. Heat oil in a wide deep-bottomed container. Add the curry paste and 1.5 cups of water for consistency along with 1 tsp of salt.

IMG_8218

3. Add the crabs to coat with the paste enough to stick to the crabs. Cover and cook on medium-high heat for 20 minutes.

IMG_8219

 

In 20 minutes they are done! It reminded me of mom making this for us when we were kids.

IMG_8224

We served them in separate plates with a bowl of rice 🍚. Used our hands and teeth (or crab Cracker) to bite and suck the juices. They tasted delicious and flavorful 😋😍. When they are hot juices ooz out as you break them apart and the flesh can easily be sucked out.

IMG_8229

 

Even if you have never tried cooking crabs. This is still the BEST recipe for a beginner. I hope you enjoyed reading though the fun process of how to clean and cook a crab in this post.

 

Cook’s tip:

*For left over crabs store it in an airtight container in the freezer. Since seafood tends to go bad soon it’s best not to store it in the fridge.

Coconut Shrimp Fry

It’s been far too long since I’ve deep-fried food and had a crazy craving for some seafood. Shrimp fry with a lovely twist of coconut and breadcrumb mix was a great treat.

Coconut Shrimp Fry 🍤 has a delicious coating of sweetness and light crunch. Although I had fresh grated coconut I wanted to try out the dry desiccated coconut 🥥. It’s available in most supermarkets especially when fresh coconut is not available locally.

For the two of us it was a good amount of shrimps as a side. I prefer buying fresh shrimps than the pre-packed peeled ones as I am always not too sure how fresh they are.

Preparation time: 15 minutes(excluding marination & peeling)

Cooking time: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients

Shrimps medium large – 500 g (with shell), peeled with tail intact

Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Marinade

Coconut milk – 250 ml

Red chili powder – 1 tbsp

Coriander leaves – 3 stems, finely chopped

Oregano – 1 tsp

Salt – 1/2 tsp

 

Coating

All-purpose flour – 1 cup or as needed

Egg whites – 4 small, lightly whisked

Desiccated coconut (dry) – 3/4 cup

Breadcrumbs – 3/4 cup

 

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the coconut milk, chili powder, oregano, salt, coriander leaves. Add the shrimps soaked in the mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

After an hour, discard the marinade.

marination for shrimp fry with coconut milk and spices

2. Place flour in one plate, egg-whites in another with a pinch of salt and in the third place the coconut and breadcrumb mixture (equal portions of both).

Coat the shrimps first in flour, remove excess flour. Dip it in egg white and then coat it with coconut-breadcrumb mixture.

3. In a large deep-frying pot, pour enough oil at a depth of 2 inches. Heat at a temperature by testing the oil.

Fry in batches, add coated prawns to hot oil turn side in 2 mins and fry until it changes color or cooked through. Do not overload the pot while frying.

Pork Recipe- Mangalorean Pork Bafat

I’m not sure why I have been hesitant on posting pork bafat recipe. Mostly because its commonly prepared by Mangaloreans, and I believe most people would know how to prepare it as it is a favorite among all Mangaloreans. However, some have their own special recipe so I thought of sharing this recipe my mom’s way and it’s always a great start to a new dish.

This recipe has been passed down for generations. Some call it pork bafat others Pork curry, and we at home call it “DUKRA MAAS” in konkani (Dukor – Pig  and Mass – Meat). You must have noticed while browsing through my posts some recipes call for Bafat powder. It is a ready-made powder which I got along with me to Singapore. Being brought up in Mangalore its a traditional Sunday ritual prepared by Catholics with its main features being the combination of vinegar and pork often served with a ‘pao’ (Idli / Dosa / Sanna) that is made from fermented rice of Konkani cuisine.

We get different types of pork meat in Singapore which is less fatty compared to the Mangalorean pork meat (best!). Hence, this pork recipe is more of a gravy than a curry. The fat imparts a great flavor to the dish which is why it must have some fat content. At home we sometimes prepare this in a claypot. As you follow through one of my posts on Claypot recipe cooking pork for longer gives it a unique taste. It gets more flavor the following day. So make sure you spare some for the next day.

Preparation time: 10 -15 minutes

Cooking time : 45 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

Cubed Pork belly and lean meat – 1 kg (500 g each), I prefer less fat. Can also include bones

Onions – 3 large, chopped into 1/2 inch size

Garlic – 1/2 pod/bulb, sliced lengthwise

Ginger –  1 inch, finely chopped

Bafat  powder – 2 tbsp

Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp

Vinegar – 2 tbsp

Salt – 1/2 tbsp

Cloves – 6 

Bay leaf  – 7 (optional), fresh if available, washed  and cut into halves

Directions

1. Cut the pork into cubes. Wash once and add it into medium deep-bottomed container. Prepare the onions, garlic and ginger.

2. To the washed meat, add the rest of the ingredients such as: bafat powder, turmeric, vinegar, salt and cloves along with chopped onions, ginger and sliced garlic. Mix and combine together with your hands to coat spices to the meat.

If you have bay leaf you can add now. We usually have fresh ones at home in our backyard but I haven’t used it here.

Pork Recipe ingredients | Pork bafat | Delicious Sweet Aroma

3. On medium heat let the meat cook for 40 – 45 minutes covered. Check in between 2 or 3 times and mix. Water oozes out from the onions so there would be no need to add any water.

After 30 minutes, check for salt. Add if required.

Pork Recipe | Pork bafat | Delicious Sweet Aroma

4. Turn off heat when the pork has cooked. Serve with rice or bread. You can even have it as a side with beer.

Pork Recipe | DUKRA MASS or Pork bafat | Delicious Sweet Aroma

Cook’s tip:

*Do not add any water to this recipe. The onions release water as it simmers.

*If it gets too spicy add vinegar. The more the fat the more bafat powder you will need for spicing up the dish. The more leaner the meat less bafat powder is required depending on personal spice and same goes for black pepper pork.
