BM #1 - AAE - Day 24 - Anda Papdi Chaat | Egg Snack

By
Papri Chaat, Paapri Chaat or Papdi Chaat , is a street food and a popular snack.  Papdi refers to crisp fried dough wafers made from refined white flour and oil. In Papri Chaat, the papris are served with boiled potatoes, boiled chick peas, chilli, yogurt and tamarind chutney and topped with chaat masala and 'sev'. Papdi is the key ingredient of Papdi Chaat.  The popular dish is often eaten from travelling food vendor stalls.


With a growing kid at home, I have to come up with different variations to the same food. My son is not very fond of eggs. But we know that its very important for the children. Egg is a great source of protein and its important to consume it atleast twice or thrice a week. So I try to come out with something different everytime. I had read this dish on the menu card of a restaurant a few months back. I had this at the back of my mind. Today I decided to try it out for evening snacks.


Serves 4

 Ingredients:
20 pieces papdi's, (I picked up readymade ones from a local vendor),
4 boiled eggs,
2 tbsp plain mayonnaise,
2-3 tbsp onion, finely chopped,
2-3 tbsp tomato, finely choppped,
2 tbsp red chilli sauce,
1 cup sev,
Green coriander for garnishing,
Red chilli powder as per taste,
Salt as per taste,


Method:

  1. Finely chop the boiled eggs and put it in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add mayonnaise, chopped onion and tomato, red chilli sauce, salt as per taste and mix well.
  3. In a serving plate arrange the papdi. Take a good spoonful of the egg mixture. 
  4. Put sev on top of the egg mixture.
  5. Garnish with green coriander.
  6. Sprinkle some salt and red chilli powder and serve immediately.


If you are unable to find readymade papdi's, replace it with Monaco biscuits or any other salted biscuits. It would taste awesome. Works very well with Cream Cracker biscuit also. This is a great dish to be served in parties as a starter too.

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...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

By
As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...
