1/2 tea spoon jeera powder
1/2 tea spoon chat masala

For Salad :

1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
2 table spoons of chopped corainder
1/2 cup shredded capsicum
salt
chat masala

Other Ingredients :

4 wheat flour rotis cooked
3 table spoons low fat eggless mayonnaise
1/2 cup green chutney (Grind to fine paste pudina 1/2 cup, coriander 1 cup, 2-3 green chilis ,tamarind pulp 1 tsp,garlic 4 pods,ginger 1/2",fresh coconut 1 tbsp,chat masala,sugar n salt with little water)
oil

METHOD:

Mix all the ingredients listed under marinade. Cut the onion into 4 quarters and then separate each layer.Now take a big bowl and add the paneer cubes,chopped capsicum & onion. add the prepared marinade over them and mix it properly with the paneer n veges. Keep aside for 15 mins.

Take satay sticks or skewers and prick one piece of capsicum, then one paneer cube then one onion pieces and so on. Continue this pattern till the end of stick. Similarly prepare such tikka sticks.

Now heat a flat griddle and sprinkle 2 tea spoons of oil all over it. Put each satay stick over it and sprinkle little oil over them and keep on turning them after 1-2 mins. After 4-5 mins when they are almost done take each satay stick and hold it over naked flame and keep on turning and roasting it till little black patches appear on the onion, paneer and capsicum.This gives the paneer tikka the perfect tandoori flavor. When the tikkas are done remove them from fire and keep aside.

Mix all the veges listed under salad in a bowl and sprinkle little salt and chat masala over them. Take a roti and spread the green chutney all over it on one side. Then above it spread 2 tea spoons of mayonnaise .Sprinkle the shredded veges salad all over it. Then place one paneer tikka stick over it and carefully separate the stick from the panner cubes and let the paneer cubes be in a line over the roti. Carefully roll the wrap and prick with a toothpick.

Serve immediately.

Preparation Time : 15 mins

NOTE : You can even shallow fry the wrap in butter after its done if u like it more crispy.
Instead of wheat flour roti you can also use maida roti. I have used a healthy option here.

Achari Paneer Tikka...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Kebabs N Rolls, Paneer Dishes, Starters

I am a big fan of tikkas and kebabs and trying them with different flavours is a very interesting task.So i made this "Achari Paneer Tikka" recently by using achar masala(Pickle spice powder) and some regular ingredients.Pickle is a must with food in many regions of India , so why not use it to make some other tasty dishes.This is a very quick,easy and tasty starter.I added whatever spices i found to make it more spicy but it will get its main taste from the achar/pickle spice powder.You can use any achar/pickle powder for it.I have used a homemade pickle spice powder, but if you do not have homemade achar/pickle powder you can even use readymade pickle spice powder as its very easily available in stores.

INGREDIENTS:

250 grams paneer (cottage cheese)
2 capsicum
2 tomatoes
1 cup yogurt
1 table spoon of homemade/readymade achar masala(Pickle spice powder)
1 tea spoon chilli powder(optional)
1/2 tea spoon turmeric powder
1 tea spoon amchur powder(dry mango powder)
1 tea spoon cumin powder
1/2 tea spoon chat masala
1/2 teaspoon sugar
salt
oil

METHOD:

Put the yogurt in a muslin cloth and tie a knot.Hung it for 1 hour so that all the water drips down from it.Cut the paneer intoone inch cubes.Similarly cut capsicum and tomatoes in one inch square pieces.

Take the hung yogurt in a bowl.Add chilli powder, turmeric powder,cumin powder,amchur powder, chat masala and achar/pickle spice powder,sugar and salt to it.Mix it well so that the spices get distributed evenly.Add the amount of spices according to your taste.Add 2 tea spoon oil also and mix.Marinade is ready.

Now take the paneer cubes and chopped tomato and capsicum pieces in a big bowl.Add the marinade mixture to it ans mix it well..Apply the marinade gently to the paneer cubes or else they tend to break.

Take some satay/skewer sticks.Take one stick and thread alternate layers of marinated capsicum, paneer cube and tomato.Repeat it with the other sticks.

Heat a tawa/griddle with little oil or a stone griller or tandoor and grill it for 2-3 mins on each side till done.

Serve hot.

Yummy Vegetable Manchurian Rolls...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Evening Snacks, Indo-Chinese/Chinese Dishes, Kebabs N Rolls

This vegetable manchurian rolls is a very tasty and filling snack...if ur a manchurian lover you will definetly love them...I love making this snack often as its quick , filling and tasty snack.

INGREDIENTS:

4 long bread rolls
1 1/2 cups Shredded cabbage
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup very finely chopped caulifower florets
1/2 cup chopped spring onion greens
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
1/2 cup + 2 tea spoons cornflour
1/4 cup maida(all purpose flour)
2 table spoons soya sauce
1 table spoon tomato ketchup
1-2 tea spoons green chilli sauce(optional)
1-2 table spoons finely chopped garlic
1-2 table spoons finely chopped ginger
2 tea spoons finely chopped green chillis
1 tea spoon vinegar
1/2 tea spoon sugar
salt
oil

METHOD:

Take a bowl and add shredded cabbage, grated carrot and finely chopped cauliflower florets.Add salt and 2 tea spoons soya sauce in them and mix it well so that its evenly coated with it.Now add the corn flour and maida in them and bind them well.

You can add more maida and cornflour if required but remember the ratio of quantity added should be 1:2 i.e cornflour should be double of maida.This gives the required crispiness to the balls when fried.Bind the mixture properly and do not add even little water as if water is added the balls will absorb more oil while frying.

Shape them into marbel size firm balls and deep fry them in hot oil till golden brown and crisp.Remove them on absorbing paper and keep aside.

Now to make the sauce heat little oil in a pan and add the chopped onion and saute it till soft then add the chopped ginger, garlic and green chillis and saute for 2 mins. Add the remaining soya sauce , tomato ketchup, vinegar and stir well.Now add salt and sugar and cook for 2 mins.

Mix 2 tea spoon cornflour in 3/4 cup water and mix it well.Add it to the cooking mixture and stir well.Cook till it thickens.You can add little water if required to get the required consistency.Add the spring onion greens and the fried manchurian balls.Close and cook for 3-4 mins.Manchurian is ready.

Slit the bread rolls without cutting through, apply a thick layer of the gravy from the prepared manchurian.Arrange 4-5 balls from the manchurain gravy and close the roll and serve while its hot.

Tastes best when served hot.

TIP: If you have some leftover cooked noodles you can even add them while mixing the manchurian balls mixture.They bind the balls very well and balls become more crispy.

1 cup thick yogurt(low fat)
1 tea spoon tabasco sauce

3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tea spoon oil

METHOD:

Soak the red kidney beans is water for 7-8 hours.Then pressure cook them using green chillis and salt.Keep aside. Kned the dough using all the ingredients.Keep it aside for 1 hour.

For hot sauce first soak the dry long red chillis for 2 hours in water and then boil them for 5 mins and grind to a fine paste.Heat a pan with little oil and add chopped tomato.Saute it for 2 mins till they becomes soft.Then add tomato ketchup and saute for 20 seconds.Add chopped garlic and again saute for 1 min.Add salt and the red chilli paste and cook for 2 mins and remove from flame and keep aside.

Eat it like this or heat a griddle and add little oil.Fry it on all sides till brown and crisp.

NOTE:I have used dry long red chillis for hot sauce which are less pungent and give a nice taste and red colour.They are local chillis here and the variety is called as "begdi".They are different and more spicy then the kashmiri chillis.If you do not get them use regular red chillis but according to your taste.

Make a paste using little flour and water to seal the roll.Take a cooked pancake and spread the filling in the center and tightly roll it into a roll.Seal the edge with the flour paste so that it does not open up.

Heat a tawa and add little oil.Carefully put the sealed roll on it with sealed side down and shallow fry it.When one side done, turn and let the other side get browned.Now add little butter and let the roll get brown and crispy.Cut the rolls.

Cut the chicken in small pieces and add all the ingredients of marination and keep it for 7-8 hours in refrigerator.

For pickling veges add sugar to vinegar and heat it till it gets slightly warm and add the sliced beet root pieces , carrots and green chillis.Keep overnight.Because of this the veges will have very nice and different taste, even the chilli will become less pungent.

To make yogurt sauce whisk the yogurt well and add salt, garlic paste and lemon juice and whisk it again to form a smooth sauce.You can even pass it and squeeze through muslin cloth to become more fine and smooth.

For salad mix sliced tomatoes, onions ,salt and pepper powder.Add tahini and yogurt and mix well.

Now finally to cook the chicken you have two ways either you can apply olive oil and grill it in oven or you can cook it in pan.I used pan to cook.Here add little olive oil in a pan and add the marinated chicken pieces and let them get cooked on medium flame for 20-25 mins.Be sure not to overcook it. If chicken becomes a little dry, add a few drops of water after every 5 mins throughout cooking duration, this is very important step so that chicken remains moist and gets cooked well.

Now finally to assemble the shawarma.Cut the pita breads in two halves.Apply tahini sauce at one side and yogurt sauce at other side on the pita bread pockets.Add the hot chicken pieces ,salad and vinegar dipped veges.Drizzle yogurt sauce in middle and serve immediately.

NOTE: While cooking chicken pieces i had added 1 tea spoon tandoori masala to make it more spicy.Its not in the traditional recipe.

If you do not get pita bread you can use normal bread also.

If you get very thin pita bread then you can even wrap all the things with it like a frankie.

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Kebabs N Rolls, Middle Eastern Recipes

As i am trying some middle eastern recipes this days, this is my first recipe. I made falafel.Falafel is a fried ball or patty made from spiced chickpeas and/or fave beans. Originally from Egypt, falafel is a popular form of fast food in the Middle East. It is mostly served alone as a snack or in bread called as pita bread along with salads, pickled vegetables and hot sauce, and drizzled with tahini based sauces.I made this falafel and made a frankie from them. Its taste was nice and different.We must try some different cuisine for a change sometimes.

INGREDIENTS:

For Falafel:

1 cup chickpeas

2 table spoon lapsi rava(wheat semolina)

1 table spoon besan

3/4 cup chopped corainder leaves

1/2 cup finely chopped onions

1 table spoon butter

METHOD:

Soak the chickpeas in water for min 7-8 hours.Now grind chickpeas along with lapsi rava, besan,green chillis, garlic,corainder,cumin powder,corainder powder,pepper powder,parsleyand baking powder.Add very little water while grinding, it should form a very dry course paste.Keep the mixture covered for 1-2 hours.Then mix raw chopped onions, salt and sesame seeds in it.

To make the dough for frankies mix wheat flour,maida,salt,butter and baking powder and kned it using cold water.Keep the dough for 30 mins.

Make small balls of the prepared chickpeas mixture and flatten them on hand.Deep fry them till golden brown and crisp.Falafel are ready.You can enjoy them wid tahini sauce also.

Now to make frankie, make rotis of the kneded dough.To make salad mix cabbabe and onion and add salt and lemon juice.Keep it for 10 mins and them add pepper powder.

To make the frankie, first apply tahini sauce to the roti, then add fried falafel in line as shown below.Add salad.

Role into a tight role and seal.Frankie is ready.

NOTE: This dish is not mush spicy, as middle eastern dishes are not as spicy as our indian dishes.If you can want you can add some spices to your choice to suit your taste.

2 tea spoon sesame seeds(til)

salt

butter

METHOD:

Prepare the stuffing according to the recipe.

Take a bowl and add maida. Add curd, salt, sesame seeds and mix well. Add water to get a required consistency for the batter.It should be like dosa batter.

Heat a tawa and add butter. Take little batter in a laddel and spread it like a medium size dosa. When its done from down, put the stuffing on it and roll it on tawa only. Since the top side of dosa is not cooked directly it will help in sealing it.
