Egg Puff

-
Egg Puff!!!! who doesn't  love these. Be it in college canteen or at street stalls outside office, I have always loved these. These are easy to make and yummy to eat. When I was in Bangalore, coming back from office I would always pick some snack for me and my dear roommates and we would enjoy it together. Sometimes it would be samosas, bhaji and sometimes it would be puffs. Depending on the day of the week it would be either egg or vegetarian. 

Today I would be sharing the easy recipe of egg puffs.

Ingredients:

  1. Egg: 2 boiled
  2. Puff Sheets: 4
  3. Onion: 1 small cut into thin slices
  4. Green Chili:: 1 finely chopped
  5. Salt to taste
  6. Chat masala: 1 tbsp
  7. Chicken/Mutton Curry powder: 1 tbsp
  8. oil: 1tsp


Procedure:

In a pan heat the oil.
Add the chopped green chili and sliced onion.
Add a pinch of salt and as the onion gets translucent add chicken/mutton curry powder.
Cook this mix till all the masala is nicely cooked. It would hardly take 2 mins. Be careful, as the masala is all dry it might burn.
Let the spice mix cool down. and divide into 4 parts
Cut the boiled egg into half.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and add 1 part of the spice mix on top of the egg (all the action goes on the yolk side of the egg ). 
With the onion side down place the egg  on a puff sheet and close by joining the 4 corners. Before closing the corners wet the corners using some water.
Finish making all the puff and put it in the refrigerator of 4-5 mins
Bake it at 450 F for 15-20 mins.
you can see the puff sheet turning golden brown and thats when its all done.
Enjoy it with sweet chutney.



You can always increase the number of eggs depending on how many people you want to entertain.
1 egg makes 2 puffs. 2 puffs is a great serving for an adult.
The puff sheets can be bought from the grocery stores. People do make them at home but it takes a lot of work. So I prefer to buy the frozen ones. These are handy. You can quickly fix a nice snack for your family.

Do try this delicious snack and let me know.

Till then Happy Blogging.

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-
Image
I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t

As a kid one thing that made me go gaga was aloo bharta with rice. My Grandma makes the best aloo bharta ever. Every year we would go to our village for the summers and among all the running around, swings and swims in the family pond one thing that I miss the most is my grandma's aloo bharta. Its like the ultimate comfort food.  There is actually not much to the recipe but still it just makes me feel loved and cared. Ingredients: Potatoes: 2 large boiled with the skin Green chillies: 2-3 chopped finely Dry Red Chillies: 2 chopped Onion:1 large chopped Mustard Seeds: 1/2 tsp oil: 1 tea spoon Salt to taste Procedure: Peel the skin of the potatoes and mash well with no lumps. Take the oil in a pan and heat well.traditionally mustard oil is used but Tanmaya does not like the taste of it so I use normal vegetable oil. You can always use mustard oil, it will for sure enhance the taste. Add the mustard seeds and red chillies, as the mustard seeds stop splutt
