Kachori Chaat

By
Last weekend we had a fest in our apartment. They hold this every year and encourage residents to participate and display their creativity. It gives everybody an opportunity to showcase their talent and also make some quick bucks.

My neighbour and me decided to put up a samosa-kachori stall along with tea and coffee. We just picked up the samosas and kachoris from a local vendor and prepared the tea and coffee at home. The idea of participating was just for sheer experience and fun.

Lets not get into the success of the stall, the less we talk about it the better. We were left with a lot of kachoris is all I can say :) After distributing a lot of them to the security guards and maids, we were left with a handful of them.

I decided to make some kachori chaat the next day for breakfast.  

Kachori Chaat 

 Ingredients:
2 hot kachoris,
1 cup fresh curd, beaten well,
1 tomato, finely chopped,
1 onion, finely chopped,
2 tsp coriander leaves, finely chopped,
1/4 tsp red chilli powder,
1/4 tsp chat masala powder,
2 tbsp green chuntey,
2 tbsp sweet imli chutney,
Some boondi or sev,
Salt to taste, if needed

Method:
1.) Place the kachoris in a serving plate. Make a hole in the center of the kachori.
2.) Pour a generous amount of beaten curd all over the kachori.
3.) Put green chutney and sweet imli chutney as per taste.
4.) Now sprinkle chopped tomatoes and onions all over.
5.) Sprinkle chat masala powder and red chilli powder.
6.) Put boondi over this and sprinkle the chopped coriander.

Kachori Chaat

I didn't have time to prepare sweet imli chutney, so I didn't add it. However it adds a lot of flavor.

We all had a good time relishing this classic street food right at home!!!

I'm sending this to Street Foods Event hosted by Tomato Blues.

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...
