BM #1 - AAE - Day 22 - Kothimbir Vadi | Coriander Patties

By
Hellllooooo.... I am proud to say I completed Week 3 of my blogging marathon. I am happy :-) I have also organized my blog a little and created a recipe index. It looks cool, isnt it?

Sharing with you today a simple yet authentic Maharashtrian snack called Kothimbir Vadi. The use of Goda masala in this recipe gives it the distinct taste. Goda Masala is a very unique masala prepared in Maharashtrian households. Its blackish brown in colour and every house has a unique way of preparing this. You can read more about Goda Masala here.


Serves 4

 Ingredients:
2 cups gram flour (besan),
1 cup chopped coriander,
2-3 green chillies, (more if you like spicy)
5-6 garlic pods,
1/2 tsp turmeric powder,
1 tsp goda masala or shahi garam masala,
1/4 tsp asafoetida,
1 tsp white sesame seeds,
Salt as per taste,

For tempering:
2 tsp oil,
1 tsp mustard seeds,
8-10 curry leaves,
1 tbsp grated coconut,
1 tbsp chopped coriander,


Method:
  1. Grease a 1 inch depth plate with oil and set it aside. You could use a bowl with a flat surface or a steamer vessel also.
  2. Make a fine paste of chillies and garlic and set it aside.
  3. In a big bowl add the gram flour, chopped coriander, chilli-garlic paste, turmeric powder, sesame seeds, ghoda masala or garam masala, asafoetida and salt and mix well.
  4. Add little water at a time and make a thick batter. The consistency should resemble the dosa or cake batter.
  5. Put the batter into the greased plate or steamer vessel and steam for 10-15 mins until skewer inserted comes out clean.
  6. Allow it to cool. Cut into squares and arrange it in a serving plate.
  7. Heat oil for tempering. Add the mustard seeds. Once it crackles, add the curry leaves and pour this tempering into the arranged plate. 
  8. Garnish with grated coconut and green coriander and serve warm.

Another variation to the same dish is once you cut it into pieces, you could deep fry it in hot oil. Remove on a paper towel and follow the steps of tempering. Serve hot with green chutney. I choose the steamed version as its more healthy and makes a light snack.

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 ...

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...
