Hi Friends,

Who can say NO to Pakoda/Fritters? I haven't seen anyone who don't like them, variety may varies. Some like potato fritter, some onion, spinach, cauliflower etc. But there are times i find leftover pakodas laying in the bowl and thinking to use it up. I remember few years back when first time i made pakoda side dish. It tastes so different. I loved it so much. Now i never worry if some leftover pakoda are there. This dish can be made of any kind of pakoda/fritter like potato, spinach, bread pakora etc. Its so quick and easy also. My kids loved it so much. Hope you will like it too.

Ingredients:-
Pakoda/fritter (any) - 2 cup
Onion- 1 medium 
Tomato-1 medium
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Garlic- 6-7 pods
Cumin seeds-1 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/4 spoon
Water- 3 cups or as needed
Salt- as per you taste

Method:-

Take all your ingredients
Puree onion+tomato+ginger+garlic together

Heat 2-3 tsp oil in a pan or kadai

add cumin seeds and let them crackle

throw in pureed onion+tomato+ginger+garlic

cook for few seconds 

add salt and turmeric powder

let the oil separate

see oil oozes out 

add water

let it come to a boil

now add your pakoda

let it simmer for few seconds

its done within a 1 or 2 minutes

 Its ready to serve

YUMMYYYYY

You can serve it Roti/Naan/Rice 
or anything you like 

Notes:-

1. You can take any pakora/fritter for this recipe. Basically the idea was to use leftover pakoras.
2. You can puree onion tomato garlic ginger separately also. But as pakoras has its own flavors so its not required to do this to get the flavors.
3. You can some chat masala or amchoor powder to the gravy to make it more flavorful but i liked the pakora taste so skipped any other masala.

Hope you will like it

Quick Plain Samber/ Instant Plain Sambar/ Sambar in Hurry

Quick Plain Sambar/

Instant Plain Sambar/

Sambar in Hurry

Hi Friends,

Sambar a staple side dish of South India. I have grown up ordering my all time favourite Masala Dosa with sambar and coconut chatni. As that time i was not much aware about other food and even didn't had any taste for another food like Chinese etc. So when i started preparing this delicacy myself. I found that it has so many varieties and tastes. You can add or omit whatever you like will not miss the real taste. You can make it authentic & laborious way or very simple and easy way. If i am having time then i make it authentic way but sometimes (out of laziness) or in hurry i make it this simple say. There is not much difference but still you can differentiate between both varieties. I made it few day back and served it with some steamed rice and my kids enjoyed it a lot. Its very quick and easy recipe.You can make it within 30 minutes even if you are out of your favorite veggie stock. Hope You will try it and like it as i did.

Ingredients:-
Arhar Daal- 1 cup
Onion- 1 medium chopped roughly
Tomato-1 medium chopped roughly
Ginger - 1 tsp chopped
Garlic- 1 tsp chopped 
Sambar Powder- 1 tbsp
Red Chilly Whole- 4-5
Cumin seeds- 1/2 tsp
Coriander Seeds- 1/2 tsp 
Red chilly pdr- 1/2 tsp
Hing/esfotide- one pinch
Water- 4 cups
Salt- as per your choice

Method:-

Take all your ingredients

Add one tbsp oil in a cooker

Throw in red whole chilly and asfotide

all spluttered

then cumin and mustered seeds

ginger garlic

add chopped onion and tomato

Mix well and cook for few seconds

Add washed daal

salt and red chilly pdr

sambar powder

mix and cook for one minute

see oil oozing out

now add 3 cups water and cook up to three whistles on medium flame

all done

cook for another few minutes if you want it thicker

I like this consistency

SERVE WITH ROTI OR RICE 

Notes:-

1. You can use other veggies also like carrot, pumpkin, peas, bottle guard etc, saute them with onion and tomato. I wanted to make it plain so skipped veggies.
2. You can adjust the consistency of sambhar, you can use less water to make it more thick, or use 1 cup less water to make it thick.
3. You can skip ginger garlic and onion if you don't use them.
4. Use of spices is purely your choice. You can increase or decrease the quantity as per your choice.

Hope you will like it

Sesame Potato Masala

Hi Friends,

Potatoes play a big roll in regular North Indian cooking. Our most of the veggies are incomplete without it. Potatoes are so versetile you can make anything for starters, snacks, main dish, side dish, accompaniments and whole lot of stuff out of it. Even if it stands alone it will never ever disappoint you. Make dry or gravy with potatoes it will never disappoint you. I like them so much as if you dont have any veggie in your hands then only potatoes can make wonders. Fry them and you potato chat/wadges/french fries are ready to munch upon. Boil them and make kofta/tikki add in rice and make pulao/biriyani means list is endless. 

If i am not in mood to make something elaborated for my lunch box them i make simple potato pulao (recipe coming soon) or make Potato Roast, chettinad Aloo, Spicy Aloo etc. Today morning i tried one forgotten recipe. I saw this recipe somewhere and forgot about it. Today morning while i saw some sesame seeds laying on the shelf i decided to try this new dish which came out so tasty. I pakced it for my kids lunch and gave some for their breakfast with parantha. They enjoyed it a lot. Sesame seeds gave a nice crunch to it. Do try this guys i am sure you will enjoy it.

Red Chilly Pdr-1/2 tsp
Turmeric pdr- 1/4 tsp

READY TO SERVE OR PACK

Here they goes in kids lunch box

Notes:-

1. You can make this side dish without onion & tomato also.
2. Adding sesame seeds will give them the nice crunch while eating so don't skip them.
3. You can make big pieces of potatoes but then it will take more time to cook and you have to keep en eye on it as we are not adding any water and they can burn easily
4. Making small pieces of potato saves so much time i made 1 inch long pieces. Smaller pieces lesser time to cook.
5. You can add chopped green chilly if you like.
6. Keep them stirring in between so that potatoes don't stick to the bottom. 
7. You can garnish it with coriander leaves. 

Hope you will like it
