Yummy Instant Vada's :)

Hi Guys,

Being Indian's Vada's are something each one of us loves to eat and Here goes the easiest recipe for them.

Ingredients:

1 cup channa dal
1/2 cup toor dal
1 onions chopped into v small pieces
2 chillies cut into small pieces
1tsp salt

Soak  the channa dal and toor dal in water for a minimum of 1 hour and then Grind the channa dal and toor dal coarsely.  Just use 2-3 tbsp of water if needed while grinding as the paste should be thick and not flowing. Once the paste is ready  add onions, chillies and salt to it and mix well. Now make small rounds of the thick paste and keep aside. Heat oil in a kadai. Oil should be medium - High hot ( I put my stove in no.7) and once oil is hot, put 3-4 rounds at a time if it's a small kadai and for bigger ones you can put upto 7-8 rounds. Keep flipping the vadas in the oil upside down till you see the brown crust forming. Once you see the brown crust being formed reduce the stove to medium ( I used no.5 in my stove) and continue flipping for next 3-4 mins untill Golden Brown colour crust gets formed. This way the inside of the vada also gets cooked properly. And here we have hot vada's ready to be served :D . Serve with ketchup or any pickle. 

Yummy Chicken 65 :D

Well, I always tot that this would be a really tough thing to make but its actualy v easy tho its a little time consuming.Here goes the steps to this delicious recipe

Preparation time:10 mins
Cooking time : 40 mins

Ingredient required for Marination:
500gms Chicken cut into small cubes
lemon juice
Ginger Garlic Paste
1/2 Spoon Salt
1 spoon Chilli Powder
3/4 spoon All purpose flour
1.5-2 spoons Corn Flour
1 egg.

Ingridients for Talimpu
4 Spoons Oil
1 spoon mustard and cumin seeds
1 spoon Ginger Garlic paste
Lots of chillies to taste
4-5 tbsp Chinese Chilli Sauce
Red colour
Little Spic powder
Pinch of Tumeric powder

Preparation:

Marinate the chicken for atleast 1 hour with all the ingridents mentioned for marination.There is no particular order required.and the more time you marinate the better it is. Heat the oil sufficiently. Put your hand over the pan to see if you can feel slightly hot heat waves. Once done , Start putting chicken into the oil. Dont overcrowd it. For each batch it takes around 15 mins. Keep a plate with tissue spread on it so that you can put the chicken pieces taken off the stove immediatly on the plate and the excess oil would be absorbed. Use a spoon which has holes to take the chicken from the oil pan so that excess oil gets dropped there itself.Repeat till you finish the chicken pieces.

Now heat 4 spoons oil and put cumin and mustard seeds in it and once they start dancing , immediatly put spice powder , pinch of tumeric powder, one spoon ginger garlic paste and chillies split into half from center. and fry them and now put in the 4-5 tbsp chinese chilli sauce ( which I dint in my recipe as I dint have it but it definatly increases the taste) and  a spoon of colour and wait for 30 seconds and add in the fried chicken and mix it well and put off the stove and let it rest for 2 mins and then have a blast with it.

To make this a quick snack you can just fry the chicken pieces over the weekend and store them in the fridge.. everyday or whenever you would like to eat during that week ... just toss them in the talimpu and munch ..... it would hardly take 5 mins but v tasty. :)

Aloo Pyaas masala

Time taken to cook this recipe : 15 mins.

1 big Onion :cut into small pieces
3 medium Potatoes :cut into medium size pieces
3 medium Chillies
2tbsp Salt
1 tsp Curry Spice powder
pinch ofTumeric powder
1tbsp ginger garlic paste

First step is to Microwave the potatoes.Dont forget to add 1tbsp salt to the water before starting the microwave. If salt is not added potatoes taste bland and will not be able to take any flaour from the curry spices. Most of the microwaves have an option of vegetables in which we can select potatoes .Meanwhile, When the potatoes are getting cooked in the microwave,heat two tbsp oil and add curry spice powder , tumeric powder , ginger garlic paste and chillis and put the onions and fry them. Once onions are fried sufficiently add chilli powder to taste and 1tbsp corriander powder. Dont add salt now to this masala as we have added salt to the potatoes being cooked in the microwave. So Adding the salt after mixing the masala with potatoes would be better.

Once the potatoes are microwaved, take a piece of potato with a fork and eat it.If its is cooked i.e. if the potato is soft to bite and you can eat it v easily , potatos are now ready. Take the potatos from the microwave and add it your onion masala and mix it completely. And now check if the salt is enough or add to taste. keep the lid closed and put the stove on for 5 more mins and then put it off.

Tasty Alu pyaas masala curry is now ready to be served
