Kolambi Bhaat -Type 2(Prawns Rice)...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Prawns Dishes, Pulavs N Biryanis, Rice Dishes, Seafood Recipes

Kolambi(Prawns) bhaat or rice is very popular in konkan area.Its mainly rice cooked in prawns and coconut milk.Same dish can have few different ingredients and bit different taste when it varies across area and people.I had earlier posted one more version of this rice which you can find here.This recipe had a green coconut paste which was used to add taste in it and was mildly spiced.Wherelse this version includes more spices and also green peas.I like both the methods, both are tasty in their own way.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups basmati rice
1 cup shelled and cleaned prawns(small or medium size preferred)
2 cups fresh coconut milk
2 big onions sliced
3/4 cup green peas
1 table spoon ginger-garlic paste
2 tea spoon chilli powder
2 tea spoon garam masala
1/2 tea spoon cumin powder
1 tea spoon corainder powder
2-3 table spoon lemon juice
1 tea spoon turmeric powder
5-6 fresh curry leaves
2 table spoon corainder leaves chopped
oil
salt

Whole Masalas:

4-5 cloves
6-7 peppercorns
2" cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
1 star anise

METHOD:

Apply turmeric, salt and 1 table spoon lemon juice to prawns and keep aside for 15 mins.Soak rice in water and drain and keep aside for 20 mins.Heat oil in a vessel and add all the whole masalas and saute for 2 mins.Add curry leaves and saute for 30 seconds.

Now add the sliced onions and saute till light brown.Add the marinated prawns and saute for 3-4 mins and add green peas.Stir and add ginger-garlic paste and mix well.Cover and cook for 3-4 mins on low flame.

Now prawns and peas will be cooked.Now switch off the gas and add coconut milk and mix it well with the prawns mixture.Put on the gas and add chilli powder,cumin powder,coriander powder,garam masala, salt and remaining lemon juice.

Stir it well and add 2 cups of hot water. Close it and cook till the rice is cooked well and water is fully absorbed.Check in middle and add little more water if water is dried up and rice is still not cooked.This dish will have bit sticky rice grains and not seperated grains as in our biryanis.

Garnish with corainder leaves and freshly grated coconut and serve hot.

NOTE:If you do not find small or medium size prawns and want to try with big ones,cut them in small pieces and use.

Prawns Tortilla Quesadilla...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Evening Snacks, Mexican Dishes, Non-Veg Recipes, Prawns Dishes, Seafood Recipes

I am in mood of trying some mexican dishes this days so i decided to make this quesadilla.A Quesadilla is a mexican snack food made of cheese and some other stuffing on a folded corn or wheat tortilla and cooked until the cheese melts. The word comes from spanish, and literally means "cheese tortilla".Sometimes its also called as "tortilla pizza". I decided to make some different stuffing for it, different from the regular veg stuffing, so i made it using prawns and eggs and it tasted very nice on its own.I also wanted to make those tortillas bit spicy so i added some italian herbs and chilli flakes, which enhanced its taste and flavour more.When i made quesadilla using it, it tasted more good along with cheese.I was very happy on my try:-))

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup grated mozerella cheese

oil

For Corn Tortillas:

1 cup maize flour

1 cup all purpose flour(maida)

1 tea spoon oregeno

1 tea spoon paprika(chilli flakes)

pinch of baking powder

pinch of turmeric(optional)

2 tea spoons butter

salt

For Stuffing:

1 cup cleaned prawns

2 eggs

2 cups spring onion chopped

1 cup onion chopped finely

1 tea spoon pepper powder

2 tea spoon chilli flakes

1 tea spoon oregeno

1 table spoon soya sauce

2 table spoons tomato ketchup(optional)

pinch of sugar

salt

METHOD:

Mix all the ingredients of tortilla and add enough water and kned it into a firm and soft dough.Keep it aside for 30 mins.Marinate prawns in salt and turmeric and keep for 1 hour

For the stuffing, heat a pan and add little oil. When its gets heated add soya sauce and stir . If soya sauce is added at this stage,its gives a nice aroma and taste and also its raw smell goes. Stir it for 1-2 mins.Now add the chopped onions and saute for 4-5 mins.

When the onions are almost done add the prawns and let them get cooked for 4-5 mins.Saute them frequently.When they are cooked well, add chopped spring onions and mix well.Now add salt, pepper powder and chilli flakes. Saute for 2-3 mins.

Beat eggs in a bowl along with little salt and add it to the above cooking mixture, stir for 2 mins after adding them so that the eggs coat the veges mixture well and get cooked for some time.When eggs mixture get cooked well add little more pepper powder and spinkle pinch of sugar. If u adding tomato ketchup add at this stage and mix well and cook for 1 min. Remove from flame and keep aside.

Now take lemon size balls of the above dough and using a rolling pin roll out thin rotis like of our normal chapati size. First you place a raw tortilla in a plate, now take the above stuffing mixture in the centre of tortilla, leave 1 inch edges and fill the rest with the stuffing in center, next spread the 3 -4 table spoons of grated cheese, wet the edges of tortilla with water, place another tortilla on top and press the edges with the help of a fork.I have shown the pic below of raw quesadilla.

Pre heat a tawa, place the above quesadilla on tawa, roast the tortilla pizza both sides on medium heat only with little oil. The cheese inside must melt.Turn it carefully. If you want you can add some more oil on both sides of the pizza, while frying. Fry till its cripsy on both sides.

Remove when done. Cut in slices using a pizza cutter.Serve hot with salsa.

Prawns Stuffed in bell pepper and Snake Gourd...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Evening Snacks, Prawns Dishes, Seafood Recipes, Starters

This recipe is a very uncommon combination but is very tasty. I love this from my childhood.It was a common dish at my place. In this both snake gourd as well as bellpeppers can be used to stuff prawns mixture. I have put the pic of both.With snake gourd it gets a different taste with mild flavour of snake gourd and if stuffed in capsicum its gives different taste of capsicum. Both combinations have their own special taste. Normally i do not eat any dish made from snake gourd, as i do not like it. But i just love this dish. Its so tasty that people who do not like snake gourd will also enjoy it.Its a very good starter recipe .

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 cup cleaned medium size prawns

4-5 small size green bellpeppers

1 snake gourd

1 1/2 cup onions chopped finely

3/4 cup chopped tomato

2 green chillis chopped

2 table spoon chopped corainder leaves

1/2 cup besan

1/2 tea spoon chilli powder

1 table spoon lime juice

1 tea spon turmeric

2 tea spoon garam masala

salt

oil

METHOD:

Cut the snake gourd in round pieces, may be 2 inches in length.Remove all the inner seeds and pulp. Make them hollow like pipes.

Take each capsicum and chop its one end, not the end near stem but the opposite one. A hole of 1 n 1/2 inch is developed. Now remove all the seeds from it and make it hollow.Cut is always made to the end opposite stem as it makes it easier to remove the seeds.

Apply salt,lemon juice and turmeric to prawns and keep them for marination for 20 mins.

Now Heat a pan. Add 2 table spoon oil in it.Fry onions in it till soft and light brown. Then add tomatoes.Saute till they become soft.Add green chillis.Now add the marinated prawns. and cook them for some time till they are fully done. Now add salt, garam masala and mix it properly. When the whole mixture is done garnish it with coriander leaves and remove from flame. Let it cool for some time.

Now take bowl. Add besan to it. Add little salt and chilli powder.Add little water and mix it well till it forms a thick paste. It should not be thin batter.

Now take one capsicum. fill it fully with the prawns stuffing. Now seal its open end with the besan batter.Repeat the same with the remaining bell peppers.

Now take one snake gourd piece. Fill it with the prawns stuffing. Seal its both edges with the besan mixture. The mixture must be thick, it should not fall when applied.

Heat a pan. Add oil and shallow fry them on all sides till they are done.Remove them on paper to absorb oil.They can also be deep fried but i avoid it as it consumes more oil which is not good for health.

Or they can even be cooked in microwave.Brush oil on each one of them and cook them on convection mode for 10 mins and 5 mins on grill.

Serve them hot.

NOTE:I have used small size bellpeppers as they are good to stuff as well as cook. While eating also no need to cut and serve, they can be serves as whole.

If medium size prawns are not available, cut big size prawns in pieces and use.

Preparation Time:30 mins.
