Hello people,
This time,I've tried baking my first pie(sweet potato) & it turned out pretty well...so here goes the recipe :)
Ingredients :
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour (maida)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup milk
- 1 store bought pie sheet (9")
Directions:
- Boil the potatoes till they become very soft. Drain the water,peel & keep aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Take a bowl & mash the potatoes along with the butter till it becomes a fine paste.
- To this mixture,add sugar,vanilla extract,cinnamon,flour & eggs. Mix well till there are no lumps in the batter. To this,add milk & mix well.
- If the pie sheet is frozen,thaw it at least 30 mins in advance. Place the pie sheet in a 9 inch glass pie plate(grease it with butter/cooking oil before placing the pie sheet) & pour the batter in it.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until done.(check the pie with a toothpick,if the toothpick comes out clean,the pie is done.)
- Remove the pie from the oven & let it cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for 1 hour & serve. (You can serve the pie with whipped cream,if you are not concerned about calories :D )
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Sabudana/saggubiyyam - 1 cup (soak it in water for 2-3 hrs & rinse off the white residue)
- 1 medium sized potato
- 1 medium sized onion - finely chopped
- 2-3 green chillis - finely chopped
- 1 bunch of coriander leaves - finely chopped
- 2 tbsp rice flour
- 1/2 tsp chilly powder (or to taste)
- salt - to taste
- 1 sprig of curry leaves (optional) - finely chopped
- 1 tsp chat masala (or to taste) - optional
- oil - to fry
Directions :
- Rinse off the soaked sabudana to remove the residue & keep aside.
- Grate the potato & squeeze out the moisture from it. Place the contents in a bowl.
- To this,add the finely chopped green chilli,coriander,curry leaves,red chilli powder,salt & the chopped onions.
- Now add the drained sabudana and the rice flour.Mix well. You can also add the chat masala now(optional) & make it into a soft dough.
- Take a small dumpling sized portion of the dough & press it in your palm,it should resemble a vada :)
- After you make a couple of them,fry these vadas in oil. Make sure the oil is hot,as these vadas tend to absorb oil if they are on a low heat.
- Once they turn golden brown,remove them from the oil & place them on a paper towel.
- Serve them hot with any pickle of your choice,but i prefer mint/coriander chutney with them :)
Hello people,
Today being Vinayaka Chaviti,I've decided to publish my first post (im a lil sentimental about these things :P). Ok,now coming to the first dish that I'm posting today,this is my mom's version of undrallu. There are a million ways to make this dish & every person has a different ingredient that they use,but in the end,all of them taste delicious...which is what we all want, don't we!! Now,the ingredients & the directions to make this amazingly simple,yet delicious dish are as follows............
Ingredients :
- Rice - (uncooked/raw) 1 cup
- Chana dal - 1/4 cup
- Jeera - 1 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Water - 2 cups
- Oil - 2 tsp
- Ghee - 1 tsp
Directions:
- Give the rice a rough grind in the blender till each grain breaks into 2-3 pieces. Sieve the coarsely ground rice to remove any fine rice flour from it.
- Soak the chana dal for 30 mins in water.
- Take a vessel,heat the oil & add the jeera to it.
- Once the jeera splutters,pour 2 cups of water,salt to taste & bring it to a boil.
- Once the water is boiled,add the broken rice,channa dal and mix it well. Make sure no lumps appear. Let it boil for 1 minute
- After 1 minute,you will still have some water left in the rice,dont drain it....Put this vessel in a pressure cooker & let it cook.(3 whistles/10 minutes depending on the type of your pressure cooker).
- Once done,remove this vessel from the pressure cooker & place the contents in a big bowl.Let it cool for a few minutes,add ghee & roll them into dumplings.
- This dish can be served hot & cold and tastes best when served with coriander chutney.
