Sauted Lima Beans





My next Sundal recipe is Sauted Lima beans or Mochakottai sundal. Lima beans have a delicate flavor and compliments a lot of dishes. They are rich in protein and fiber and this sundal can be quite filling.
Serves: 4

  • Onion - 1 Chopped
  • Ginger – 1 cm piece
  • Green chillies, 2
  • Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
  • Urad Dal – 1/2 tsp
  • Curry leaves , a few
  • Turmeric – 1/4 tsp
  • Asafoetida - a pinch
  • Salt, to taste
  • Oil for tempering
Method
  • Wash the Lima beans 2-3 times and soak it overnight in plenty of water. When cooked Val beans have a slightly bitter taste hence you need to wash it very well
  • Drain the water, wash well and cook the Lima beans in a pressure cooker adding enough water to submerge the Lima beans. Cook for 3-4 whistles. Keep aside.
  • Chop the green chillies and ginger into fine pieces
  • Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds. When the seeds splutter, add the chopped Onion, Urad dal, curry leaves and sauté for few minutes. Add the Asafoetida, ginger and green chillies and sauté for few more minutes

  5. In a pan, add butter.
  6. When the butter melts, add cumin seeds. When they sizzle, add the chopped onions.
  7. Saute the onions till they become translucent. Now add the ginger-garlic paste.
  8. Saute till the raw aroma of the ginger-garlic paste disappears.
  9. Add chopped green chilies and fry for half a minute.
  10. Add the tomatoes and fry them till they become soft and mush, till you fat releasing the sides. About 6 to 7 minutes on low to medium flame.

Choco Brownies!!!!

You’ve probably eaten your fair share of brownies, but did you know there are two distinct types of the delicious chocolate-y squares? Here’s our recipe for a five-ingredient version made with nothing but salted butter, sugar, flour, eggs, and cocoa powder.
As for those two versions.
On the one hand, you’ve got brownies made from melted chocolate. Chocolate, if you were curious, is made from cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, and usually some added sugar. To recommend them, these brownies have an incredibly dense, fudgey quality. Everyone loves them.
On the other hand, you’ve got brownies made from cocoa powder (like the ones you’re about to drool over). Cocoa powder is cocoa liquor stripped of its fat. You know it as the stuff you mix with milk and sugar to make hot chocolate every winter. As a result, you’ve probably got some in your pantry right now. When you use cocoa powder, you’re the one who applies all the fat and the sweetness to your brownie formula. Despite the fact that cocoa powder looks dry, you can make exceedingly moist brownies with the stuff. Let’s go!
Pull these five ingredients from your pantry or fridge:
Five-Ingredient Brownies | Blue ApronBrownies1
Use a bit of the wrap from the butter to grease the pan. Make sure to get the bottom and sides.

Five-Ingredient Brownies | Blue ApronPut that aside. Now whisk together flour, sugar, and cocoa powder.
Five-Ingredient Brownies | Blue Apron
In a separate bowl, you’ll whisk together the melted butter and eggs. Pour that mixture over the dry ingredients and fold them together. Batter! That goes into the buttered pan.

Five-Ingredient Brownies | Blue Apron
If you’re into it, you can scatter the top of the brownies with flaky sea salt. The bits of salt bring out the full flavor of the chocolate.

A thin knife stuck in the middle of the brownies will tell you if the batter is cooked. Here’s how: check to see if there are crumbs on the knife; if there are more than a few, pop the brownies back in the oven.
The cooler the brownies are, the easier they will be to cut into squares.  Cooler brownies will yield a nice clean cut. But, it’s not so easy to wait, so it’s craggy lines for us today.

And here’s what happens when you make a big brownie pile and start eating the chocolaty goodness, little bite by little bite…

Bread Cutlet Chat


I remember Amma making Bread Pakodas, funny how I never came around posting our yummy Bread pakodas. When Amma gets to make Pakodas, she has an array of vegetables and other things for pakodas, bread being an integral part of it. She also does bread bajjis that i have done before.

Interesting how stuffing this makes it so delicious for kids. To make it more healthy, I pan fried these pakodas, though two were deep fried. Bread absorbs so much oil that it's just so hideous. And shallow fried pakodas tasted just as well.

For Masala :
3 medium potatoes boiled peeled and finely chopped (this will make 2 cups of chopped potatoes)
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
1/8 teaspoon turmeric (haldi)
1/4 teaspoon mango powder (amchoor)
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1 green chili finely chopped adjust to taste
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (hara dhania)
1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste

Method:
To prepare stuffing:
1.Boil potatoes. Peel and mash them using a masher.
2.In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds.
3.When seeds start to splutter,add green chillies and curry leaves.Saute for about 10 seconds.
4.Now, add green peas. Saute them for about 2 min.
5.Then add the mashed potatoes and crumbled paneer.Saute for a couple of minutes again.
6. Add all the dry spices now and mix really well.
7.Garnish with cilantro and in a 2-3 minutes turn off the heat. Let it come to room temperature.


For Bread:
Soak the bread for few seconds in water n squeeze gently.
On one of the slice, spread the masala,
 fold it and  press well for it to get sealed. Deep fry them in oil..
This itself is a snack.. But to make it as chaat, cut deep fried stuffed bread into pieces.. Add veggies as you need.. I added Cucumber, Onion, chopped cilantro, yoghurt and lime juice..

  • Follow with the chopped onions and mix it around and immediately add the sweet corn kernels.

  • Mix for a couple more minutes and switch off the stove.
  • Transfer to a mini food processor or a mixer and add the 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.  The bread crumbs allow the flavours to mix in and acts as a binding agent. Keep the remaining bread crumbs for dredging the tikkis before you fry them.
  • When they are almost well pulsed add a smal bunch of chopped corriander leaves, the lemon juice and the chat masala.
  • At this point add the boiled potatoe ( optional) and mix it in.
  • When they come together to form a homogenous mixture , empty on to a clean dry bowl.
  • The mixture has to be thick and not sticky. If you feel there is still moisture left over, add a little more bread crumbs, but adjust the salt accordingly.
  • Using your palms, make out little patties , dunk them in to the bread crumbs and shallow fry them on  your dosa pan.
  • Optionally, you could deep fry them in oil.
  • Make a serving base of  micro greens, finely julienned cabbage and carrots and add a dash of lemon juice and chat masala for that extra crunch.
  • Place warm cutlets over the salad base and enjoy with a side of Tomato Ketchup or Sweet Tamarind Chutney.
