Clay-pot Recipe, Kadgi Sukhi (Mangalorean food)

Raw Jackfruit Dry / Kadgi Sukhi in Clay Pot

Clay-pot recipes are one my families ancient ways of  cooking. My granies backyard has a separate open fireplace to cook food in clay-pots. My mom still cooks food in clay pots in granies kitchen. The food prepared in them are one of the tastiest than when prepared using other utensils.

Having lived abroad some foods can never replace home food. During my recent visit to Mangalore, I had enjoyed having cooked raw jackfruit prepared in clay pot (as we always do!). After I got to know that, this fruit is one of the fruits unknown to most people, I made sure I took a picture of it this time.

Home grown Jackfruits | Delicious Sweet Aroma

It varies in size. Since this fruit is very sticky, once cracked open, its a good idea to oil your hands and knife  before cutting. It’s an excellent vegetarian substitute for meat because of the fleshy inside. The skin of unripe jackfruit must be peeled first, the rest is chopped and then used to prepare savory dish with spicy chili paste. Young jackfruits also used to prepare curries, pickles and other dishes.

Spicy Banana Pepper Fritters

These Hot Chili Peppers which are commonly known as ‘Banana Peppers’ is named because it resembles the shape of a banana. It is 6-inch-long pepper, mild hot because of its seeds.

These banana pepper fritters are easy to make in less than 30 minutes. My husband wanted it spicy so I haven’t removed the seeds in my recipe. If you cannot take the spice, I recommend slicing the pepper vertically through the center and removing the seeds before coating with the chickpea flour.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients

Vegetable oil for deep frying

Banana peppers – 7 (spicy)

Chickpea / Gram flour (Besan) – 1 1/2 cup

Kashmiri Red chili powder – 1 tbsp

Salt – 3/4 tsp

Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp

Water – 3/4 cup

 

 

Directions

1. Prepare a paste by adding all the ingredients: flour, chili powder, salt, turmeric. Add 3/4 cup water and mix to form a thick paste. Add more water if necessary, the batter must be thick.

Goli Baje Recipe

Hubby loves Goli baje’s, sounds funny, haha..Well, I came to know more of his tastes after getting married to him. And I love making them occasionally.

Goli baje (in Tulu, Indian cuisine) is a deep-fried tea-time snack popular in Mangalore-Udupi region. It is also known as Mangalore bajji or Mangalore bonda. Yes, my posts are often from Mangalore, being a Mangalorean myself they are served locally in restaurants for breakfast or evening tea along with a dip called chutney made of Coconut, coriander or others. Goli Baje’s have a unique taste with a smooth exterior and a spongy interior that suits well during the monsoon season. After few trials and errors I learnt the precise measurements to obtain a good texture. The texture also depends on the fermentation time and thickness of batter before frying. I have provided the precise quantity of all ingredients. The coconut-coriander chutney was just a perfect dip to enjoy it.

Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus 2 hrs fermenting time

Cooking time : 20 minutes

Makes: 25 – 30

 

Ingredients

Vegetable oil for deep-frying

Plain Flour / Maida – 1 cup / 150 g

Gram flour/Chickpea flour/Besan – 4 tbsp / 25 g

Yogurt – 1/2 cup / 160 g (thick)

Water -1/2 cup

After fermentation:

Ginger paste / fresh ginger – 1 tsp, chopped

Cumin seeds – 1/2 tsp

Green chili – 1 tsp / 1 small, chopped

Grated coconut – 2 tbsp

Caster sugar – 1 tbsp

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Baking soda – 1/2 tsp

Coriander (optional) – 1 tbsp, chopped

Warm water – 4 tbsp

 

For Coriander Chutney / Coriander Sauce (A dip that goes well with Goli Baje)

Fresh coriander/ Cilantro/ Chinese parsley- 25 g to 40 g, washed and roots removed (depending on quantity required)

Fresh grated coconut – 1/2 cup or as required (also, depending on quantity)

Salt – 1/4 tsp

Fresh ginger – 1 inch thick, small

Green chili – 3 small

Seasoning:

Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp

Red dried chili – 1 (if available)

Mustard seeds – 1 tsp

Curry leaves – 1 medium strip, washed & dried using towel (can use frozen)

Water as required for thickness

 

Directions

1. In a large bowl, to the the sifted plain flour, add chickpea flour, yogurt. Mix. Then add 1/2 cup water until well combined with no lumps in the batter.

2. Cover and set aside the batter in a warm place at room temperature for minimum 1 1/2 – 2  hours (I kept it for precisely  2 hrs). Even if it’s a little longer the better.

3. After 2 hrs: Add ginger, cumin, green chili, coconut, sugar, salt, baking soda (you can add coriander now if your using). Mix and add water to form a thick batter until there are no lumps (not too runny). Set aside for 5 minutes.

4. Heat a container with oil on medium-high. Drop a pinch of batter, if oil is hot enough it will form bubbles around the batter and sizzle.

5. Take tablespoon of the batter, scoop it in your fingers and drop it in small amount into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd. In a few seconds flip to brown on the other side. Fry in batches.

Once they have turned brown, drain them on paper towels using a stainless steel slotted spoon (reduce heat to low while removing to prevent over browning). Serve hot with fresh coriander chutney.

Coriander chutney: Preparation time – 7 mins to 10 mins

1. In a blender add coriander leaves, coconut, ginger, salt, green chili and a little water. Blend until smooth paste.

2. Heat oil in a small deep bottomed, stainless steel container on medium. Add mustard seeds, it’ll start splitting.

4. Now, add the coriander paste from the blender. Mix and let it boil over low heat. Add water depending on your choice of consistency for thickness.

Storage of Chutney:

+Store in an airtight container in the fridge or can also be frozen. Must be used within 2-3 days if stored in the fridge.

 

Note:

*I haven’t used coriander in the Goli Baje batter.

*If you do not have coriander for the chutney, substitute it with additional coconut to prepare a coconut chutney.

*While removing the goli baje from oil after it has turned brown, reduce heat to prevent burning.

*If the batter is too water you can add more plain flour/maida.

 

 

I would love to know how it turns out for you. Thank you for visiting 🙂

Moist Scrambled Eggs

I think most people know how to prepare an egg even for a beginner. If there is nothing else to eat in the kitchen counter, eggs are good enough to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I haven’t posted any breakfast recipes with egg and the idea of making a scrambled egg that is moist and creamy was the perfect choice for a healthy breakfast with whole-grain-bread that I wish to share.

My hubby would never get tired of having this every morning for breakfast. And the best part is seasoning the bread topped eggs with black pepper for extra flavor. The texture of fluffy, soft, moist and buttery flavor is totally satisfying.

I have not posted any step-by-step pictures here, forgive me for my first post without detailed pics. I believe you can still make a great moist scrambled egg with just the instructions provided below.

Preparation time: 3 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

Slices of Whole grain bread – 4
Eggs – 4 large
Unsalted Butter – 2 tbsp / 2 small cubes
Milk – 2 tbsp
Fresh Chives – 2 tbsp, finely chopped
Salt as per taste
Pepper

 

Directions

1. Whisk eggs, milk, fresh chives and salt in a medium bowl.

2. Melt butter in a large frying pan. Add egg mixture.

3. Cook, stirring, over low heat until creamy for 5 minutes. Transfer immediately onto a plate.

4. Serve them on bread or toast. Sprinkle with pepper.

Takes 35 – 40 minutes max. I cannot tell you how much I loved the taste of it after tossing the fried chicken in the sauces. Make sure you do not use salty soya sauce. Chicken bites makes a great side for two. You can double the portion for more servings.

Diamond cuts (Tukdi)

I’m quiet surprised that I’m making another snack for Christmas. After my Sweet curls recipe this is my second recipe on Christmas goodies. I prepared this yesterday and I loved the way they turned out.

Diamond cuts or Tukdi (we call it in konkani at home) is a traditional snack. It’s still a favorite snack to munch on while at home. They are crunchy, fluffy and hollow. It is made in different varieties, sweet or biscuit flavored. I made a small batch of it and the recipe is very easy.

Have a joyous Christmas 🎄🎅

Preparation time: 1 hour

Cooking time: 30 mins

Utensil : Pizza cutter/biscuit cutter

Roller pin

 

Ingredients

Vegetable oil for deep frying

Unbleached All-purpose flour/Maida + extra for dusting – 250 g

Unsalted butter (soft)- 2 tbsp

Chickpea flour – 25 g

Salt – 1/3 tsp

Water – 1/2 cup or as required for the dough ( *EDIT), room temp

 

 

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, add all-purpose flour,  chickpea flour, salt, butter. Mix together with your hand. Add water in parts and knead until you get a soft elastic dough. It’ll tend to be sticky at the beginning, keep kneading until it becomes smooth.

Step1_IMG_5912

2. Prepare a rolling surface, dust the surface with flour. Take a small portion of the dough and form a ball. Place it on rolling surface and sprinkle some flour again. This will help prevent sticking.

Step22_IMG_5941

Now, using a rolling pin, roll the dough thin (not too thin or thick).

 

3. Using a small biscuit roller/pizza cutter, cut the flour vertically with 1.5 cm spacing between each line. Then, cut them in horizontal direction that shape it into a diamond form.

Carefully transfer them, by using a knife edge to slide them onto a flat plate without disrupting it’s shape.

 

4. After your done making diamond cuts. Heat a container with oil on medium-high heat (If your using induction, keep it on 7).

5. Drop a piece to check if the oil is hot. It’l start sizzling and bubbling. Slide the diamond cuts in oil in batches, not to over-crowd them. It will start puffing up. Stir them gently so they get separated. Let it fry for a minute or two, until golden brown.

6. Strain them into paper towel. Pour the next batch until all are done deep-frying.

For updates on posts and recipes to come please follow the Fb page >> Delicious Sweet Aroma

 

 

Note:

*While kneading the dough, if it tends to be sticky add some flour.

*Dust generous amount of all-purpose flour before running the biscuit roller otherwise they stick to the plate which will tend to loose its shape while sliding into hot oil.

Banana Cream Shake

It’s been a while since my last post, but now I’m back. Well, I have been learning to bake and the best way I learn – Bake it yourself! Cooking is fun but sometimes it’s like a laboratory measuring, testing etc. That requires a lot of patience!

So, yesterday I thought of making a refreshing drink. The best part is it requires very little effort and time. All it takes is a few ingredients, blend it together and top with a dollop of homemade whipped cream. While the Greek yogurt adds protein, its creamy and tasty. This is my first topping on a drink and it got me instantly excited. It tasted great! Not too sweet which I always enjoy.

TGIF everyone!

Appliance needed: Electric Blender, Hand mixer

Ingredients

Banana – 2 medium

Greek yogurt – 3/4 cup, (I used farmers union Greek yogurt)

Cold milk – 1 cup

Vanilla essence – 1/2 tsp

Ice cubes as required

 

 

For the whipped cream

Whipping cream – 1/2 cup (keep this in the fridge until you’re ready to use)

Powder Sugar – 1 tbsp (Icing sugar will do)

Whipping cream to make whipped cream topping on banana shake

Directions

1. In a blender, mix banana, yogurt, milk, vanilla essence, ice. Blend until smooth.

2. Remove the whipping cream from the refrigerator. Using a hand mixer whip the cream in a bowl (you can also use your hand to whip: use very very cold cream with a nice whisk).

step2_img_5355

3. Begin whipping initially on low speed at 1 and gradually increase to higher speed. In 2 – 3 minutes time it will form soft peaks.

Pork Wonton Soup Recipe

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4

It’s lovely exploring different cultures through food especially the Chinese food. I like Chinese food a lot and we have a lot of restaurants here that provide incredible food. Chinese wontons are commonly served which made me plan on making them at home as I was curious on how it would turn out.

Did you know that there is a difference between a wonton and a dumpling? I always thought they were the same! As I did some research I got to know the difference. A wonton skin is thinner than dumpling. It has a filling of pork or sometimes shrimp which is boiled and served as a soup whereas a dumpling is steamed, sometimes served with or without soup.

Finding a wanton wrapper was easy for me. At the grocery store it was available in the refrigerator section. If you have trouble finding them at your local grocery store look into the Asian/Chinese stores. They are found in round and square shapes mostly frozen I believe. I used the square wanton wrapper to give a desired shape while filling it with pork mince. Check out the video below if you like to know how to make wantons or dumpling in a creative way if you have the time. Until my next post, have a fabulous week!

Ingredients

Corn flour – 1 tbsp

Chicken stock cube – half

Oyster sauce – 1 tbsp

Spring onions & pepper powder for garnish

For the wonton filling:

Wonton pastry – 20 wrappers

Minced pork – 200 g

Spring Onions – 15 g

Ginger-Garlic paste – 1/2 tsp

Egg – 1

Garam masala powder- 1 tsp (optional)

Water / egg yolk for sealing the pastry

Salt

Directions

1. Add all the ingredients for wonton filling and mix together. Keep water in bowl to seal them (you can even use egg yolk) .Make the dumplings as shown in video.

2. In a pot filled with 2 cups boiling water add the rest of the remaining pork mince and cook for 10 mins on medium or until it boils.

3. In a small bowl containing 2 tbsp hot water ( I used 2 tbsp of soup), stir in the corn flour until no lumps are found. Also mix in the chicken stock cube. Add this to the pot. Add 1 more cup of water.

Corn flour

4. Carefully drop the wontons one-by-one into the pot. Add garlic. Take a tablespoon of oyster sauce and stir in lightly (you can also add the sauce before dropping the wontons).

Let it cook on low heat for 5 – 10 minutes or until it starts boiling.

5. Garnish with spring onions and pepper powder. Serve hot.

Note:

* If you have the wonton wrapper in the freezer. Place it in the refrigerator section for an hour or two before making the wontons. If you plan to make it right away keep it out in a warm area so it gets easier to remove the wrapper skin easily.
