Potato Patty/Kids Special Party Snacks

Potato Patty/Kids Special
Party Snacks
Hi Friends,
After a long time i tried something very tasty and crispy. After a long series of modak and ladoos now i am concentrating more on snacks as since long i haven't tried new recipes. Yesterday i bought a packet of Tortilla as this time i wanted to check the taste and texture or store bought one. I planned to make a wrap with it but did not wanted to make regular aloo tikki as filling. So tried this patty which came out yummy. 
These are very easy and tasty patties. You can make them time ahead for party or enjoy as on the go snack. Just coat them in cornflakes and store them in zip lock or airtight container. Whenever you want to enjoy them take them out and fry. In fridge you can keep them for 2-3 days and in freezer you can keep them for 2 weeks. Thaw them for some time and fry. So here is the recipe. I hope you will like it and try it at home and let me know the results. 

Ingredients:-

For Patty
Boiled Potato- 3 medium
Paneer/Cottage cheese- half cup crumbled
Corn Kernel- 2 tbsp
Onion- 3 small or 1 medium
Mint Leaves- 1 tbsp
Cornflour- 1 tbsp
Roasted cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp
Chat Masala-2 tsp
Chilly powder- 1 tsp or as per your taste
Salt- as per your taste

For Coating
Cornflakes- 1 cup
All purpose flour/ Maida- 1/2 cup
Water - as need to make batter
Oil for frying 

Method:-

First we will boil the corns
if using frozen just thaw them
Take 2 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt in a pan 

when it will start boiling add corn kernels

it will be done within few minutes

drain them

chop onions

peel potatoes 
and you are done with basic preparations

Now take boiled potato in a bowl 

start mashing them with hands or use masher

all potatoes mashed

now crush paneer/cottage cheese same way

mix it roughly, no need to mash it altogether

add chopped onion

boiled corn kernels

roasted cumin seeds

all spices 

mix them well

here comes corn flour, mix it well

lastly throw in mint leaves and
 make a not so smooth dough 

for shaping patties grease your hands with oil

take a ball size portion 

You can make any shape 

all done

take ingredients for dipping and rolling

add water in all purpose flour/maida

make a smooth batter, 
thinner then pakoda/fritter batter 

take cornflakes in mixer or grinder

grind it

take out in a plate

both things are ready

Now take your patty 

dip in the flour batter

coat all sides and take out

now place it in grinded cornflakes and 
sprinkle & cover all sides 

do same with other patties and 
put in fridge for 15-30 minutes

now heat oil in a flat pan or you can use tawa

place your patties and cook on medium heat

turn and cook from other side too

done

hmmmm it was mouth watering 

bursting with flavors

I used these patties to make wrap and enjoyed with Mojito, 
both recipe coming soon

Notes:-
  1. All ingredients have their own role in this recipe. Still if you wish you can omit corn, onion as per your wish. 
  2. Adjust spices as per your wish. You can use use amchoor powder instead of chat masala.
  3. To increase the spiciness you can increase chilly powder or use chopped green chilly. 
  4. Instead of crushed cornflakes you can use breadcrumbs to coat the patties. 

HOPE YOU LIKE IT

Kids Special 
Hi Friends,
Sometimes you are so lazy or unwell that you want something quick and easy. But when it comes to kids lunch box you are supposed to be more cautious to choose menu which should be quick and healthy. Last night i was having some beets which i wanted to finish off soon. Then again by co incidence i bought a jar of different flavors of mayonnaise. Third co incidence was that by daughter asked to pack sandwich in the lunch box and all three co incidences turned out in a very healthy sandwich. Only drawback was that when i sent my brother for bread then only last packet of white bread was available. So went ahead with that. So if you want to more healthy then use brown or multigrain bread. 
It was so quick, easy and at the same time very healthy. I packed it for myself also. It was too yummy. You can not believe that it needs very few ingredients, takes hardly 10 minutes to make this sandwiches. You can make them for parties too. Prepare everything at night and assemble and serve at the time. I would i ask you to try these sandwiches as it is a great way to feed your kids beets which kids normally avoids because of its taste. So friends now to the recipe.


Ingredients:-

Bread Slices- 6 (brown/multigrain/white)
Beetroot-1 medium
Onion- 1 medium (optional but recommended)
Butter- as required (i skipped it)
Mayonnaise- 3 tbsp 

Method:-
Take all your ingredients

Chop onions in small pieces

grate beets

mix both of them in a bowl

now add mayonnaise  

mix them well

take a bread slice
here you can apply butter but i avoided (see notes)

apply generous amount of beet mayonnaise mix

cover with another slice

cut

Serve

see vibrant colour of beets
Notes:-

  1. Use brown bread or multi grain bread for more healthier version. The time i went to grab the bread this was the only option so i grabbed this one. 
  2. I will suggests you to avoid butter if you are packing sandwiches for lunch box specially for kids as after lunch kids drink water and greasy things like butter can cause cough. If you don't agree with me then go ahead as per your wish.
  3. You avoid onion completely. I added it for some crunch and it worth trying this combination. 
  4. You can chop beets too but i thought that kids might not like beets in chunk so grated them. You can grate onion also. 
  5. You can use any of your favorite flavored mayonnaise also. 
Hope you will like it
