Jalapeno Popper

-
Jalapeño  Poppers are stuffed jalapeño fitters. The origin is unclear, but they are most likely an Americanized version of the classic Mexican dish, chile relleno.
There are extensive variations using ground meat, mushrooms, bacon, or crab, and cooking methods such as baking or grilling.
Because I prepared it for the Diwali party I wanted to keep it all vegetarian. So here is my version of vegan jalapeño poppers.

 Ingredients:

  1. Jalapeño: 16 whole
  2. Potato: 1 large Boiled
  3. Feta cheese: 1/4 cup
  4. Butter: 2 tbsp
  5. Spring Onion: Finely chopped ( Only the green part)
  6. Salt: as per taste (just remember the feta is a salty cheese)
  7. Pepper: as per taste
  8. Bread Crumbs: 1/2 cup
  9. All Purpose flour: 1/4 cup
  10. Water: 1/4 cup

Procedure:
Wearing plastic gloves, slit the jalapeño peppers in the middle with paring knife. Carefully remove seeds and white membrane. Leave the stem attached.
Peel and grate the boiled potato into a bowl.
To the shredded potato add the feta cheese, butter, salt and pepper and mix well till the butter is completely melted and mixed throughly.
Check for taste and add the chopped spring onions and mix well.

Stuff peppers with mashed cheese potato .
Meanwhile, mix all purpose flour and water in small bowl to make a wash. Place crumbs in shallow pan.
Drop stuffed peppers in the wash and toss in the bread crumbs to coat.  Place on sheet pan. Repeat with all peppers. When all peppers are coated, set aside for 15 minutes to set up and dry.
Arrange them in a single layer on a buttered baking sheet and broil at high for 5 mins on each side or till the coating is crunchy.

 Remove it on a serving plate while hot and serve with any dip of your desire. It is a real nice combination of sweet creamy taste of the mashed cheese potato and hot kick of the peppers.
This was a great hit with my friends during the Diwali bash.
I hope you and friend enjoy this during all the holiday get togethers coming your way.
Till then happy blogging.

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-

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
