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:-

Boiled Potato- 3 medium

Paneer/Cottage cheese- half cup crumbled

Corn Kernel- 2 tbsp

Onion- 3 small or 1 medium

turn and cook from other side too

bursting with flavors

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.

Coconut Modak/

Coconut modak with Raisins Filling/ 

Ganesh Chaturthi Special/

Kids Special

Hi Friends,

After making so many recipes to offer Prasad to Ganesh ji, on the last day i wanted to make modak for him. As i tried earlier also coconut ladoo with condense milk that were super delicious but i was not satisfied with the color and shape. I wanted real modak shape in white color. So i chose coconut and used my new bought mold (which i bought only for Ganesh ji :). 

I was quite happy to see the results. Modak came out so tasty. It was shining white with a dash of kesar. I added the nice crunch by using normal granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar. I loved them and i hope Ganesh ji also like it. 

Ingredients:-

Coconut grated/shredded- 1 cup

Milk powder- 1 tbsp

sugar- 3/4 cup

Milk- half cup

Ghee- 1 tsp

Cardamom- 4

Kishmish-2-3 tsp for filling

Method:-

Gather your ingredients

take a wide pan or kadai and add ghee in it

heat it on medium flame

now add shredded or grated coconut

 start roasting it

within a minute it will be done

now throw in milk powder

and sugar

all added

now crushed cardamom seeds

and at last the milk

mix everything well and keep on stirring

within a minute it will be done

grease lightly your modak mold

i have use a ice cream scoop for measurement, you can take any spoon  

take a scoop of dough

put it on the hand

flatten it a bit

keep few raisin pieces

close from all sides 

roll it

now put it in the mold

close the mold

remove extra dough which came our from sides

open it

Yeeeeeeeah

i was delighted to see my modak 

all done

small dough left at last so i made this small peda

all modak dotted with kesar

Ready to offer Ganesh ji

modak offered to Ganesh ji before his visarjan

Notes:-

1. Milk powder will do binding, gives texture to modak, but if you want to skip it then you can go ahead but then taste and texture will be different.
2. Instead of cardamom you can try kesar/saffron.
3. You can make them round shape too but on the last day i wanted to offer white modak so i used the mold and shaped them as modak.
4. You can use other dry fruits for filling but i think raisins makes the perfect filling. You can make them without filling too. 

HOPE YOU LIKE IT
