Cabbage Broccoli Kabab


You may notice that the last recipe I posted used Cabbage too.. Its because, this is left over from the last week's Cabbage :) I had lot of left over Broccoli too.. So last evening I decided to make a mix vegetable out of it but it was only when I actually started making it I thought this would make great Kababs. They are really tasty and very easy and quick to make. I made them in half an hour.

2 Cups Cabbage
3 Cups Broccoli
1 Tomato
1 Spoon Oregano
1 Spoon Jeera
1 Spoon Mustard
1 Spoon Chaat Masala
1/2 Spoon Red Chilli Powder
1/2 Lemon
1 Spoon Coriander Leaves
1 Spoon Pudina Leaves
2 Spoon Maida
1 Spoon Rice Powder
A Pinch of Asafoetida
1/4 Cup Cashews
Salt to taste
Oil

Method
  • Heat half spoon of oil and add in tomato puree.
  • Add in oregano and red chilli powder and cook till completely done. Keep aside.
  • In a pan, heat another spoon of oil and let mustard, jeera splutter. Add in Asafoetida.
  • Add in Broccoli chopped into small pieces and cook with constant stirring till broccoli is almost done
  • Add in finely chopped cabbage, pudina leaves, coriander leaves and cook till cabbage turns light brown.
  • Add in earlier cooked tomato paste, lemon juice and salt to taste and cook for another minute. Take off heat and let it cool down.
  • Add in maida, rice powder and chaat masala. Mix well. Make balls with these mixture and press them between palms with a cashew.
  • Heat pan and add 2 spoons of oil and cook on both sides till they are brown.
Notes
I even had tomato paste ready for I had made it for Rice Bowl last week. I had made double quantity and had used half of it. Its a great item to store in fridge for quick flavoring

Entry to Cakes, Cookies and Desserts

While following different blogs on my reader i somehow stumbled on Anjali's blog about the event on cakes, cookies and desserts. I haven't participated in any event as yet, but with my recent post on Mango Mousse Cake and the compliments I had been getting for this cake, I wanted to share it with more audience. I want more people to try it out and see how easy it is to make this delicious cake and hence for the first time, I have decided to enter into this event.

Puri for SPDP (Shev Batata Dahi Puri)


Since we came here, we weren't able to get the puris for making SPDP - Shev Batata Dahi Puri which is among favorite chaat items for Ajoy. Using paani puri's puri for SPDP doesn't seem right and I am sure it wouldn't taste as good either. So I decided to give try making these puris. Tried few times and now I think I have got the recipe right which gets best results, and is certified by many friends who had chance to taste :)

Puri for SPDP (Shev Batata Dahi Puri)
Ingredients
1 Cup Maida
2 Spoon Rawa
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
Oil
Salt

Method
  • Mix Maida, Rawa and salt together.
  • Add in melted butter and mix well.
  • Add in 1/4 cup water and knead soft dough.
  • Grease the dough with 1/4 spoon oil and cover and keep aside for an hour.
  • Make round balls and roll them thin and big. Cut using cup or cookie cutter into small round shapes.
  • Heat oil and fry the puris on both sides over medium flame till light brown on both sides. Take out on kitchen towel and let it soak oil from puris.
  • Heat oven to 350F/175C and bake the puris in it for 10 minutes.
Notes
I have noticed that if you roll the puris thin then they wont bubble up and that's how you want them for SPDP.
Also I baked the puris again because that make them crispier, that is any rawness and moisture left after frying goes away and puris.
