Make this recipe in rainy day#aloopakora#aloo bhajji In winter time, especially during rainy periods, nothing can beat eating hot pakoras with chai. Aloo pakoras, also known as potato bhajji or aloo bhajji are a popular snack made with potatoes, besan (gram flour) and spices. These are crunchy from outside, soft from inside with the taste of potatoes and spices. It is quick to make, almost all ingredients are available in our pantry and are delicious to taste.
#mudita’skitchen#recipeon👇
Ingredients
2 cup besan (gram flour)
1 tsp Carom seeds (ajwain)
2 tsp green chili paste (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp ginger, garlic paste
2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
1 tsp turmeric powder
3 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
Chaat masala - for garnish (optional)
Oil for frying
5 medium size potatoes - Half boiled, cut into slices, (Preferably boiled into a pot to avoid becoming super soft).
2 tbsp chopped cilantro (optional)

Method
Take a bowl and add besan (chickpeas flour), ajwain and 2 tsp salt. Mix and add I cup water, mix slowly, keep adding more water to make a mix with thick consistency. Keep aside for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Take another bowl and add potato slices, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp red chili powder and cilantro.
Add 1 tsp red chili powder, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder and green chili paste to besan batter and mix.
Add oil to a wok and put on medium heat. Wait for oil to get heated.
Add one potato slice and dip into the besan batter and drop in heated oil. Repeat till the oil surface in the wok is full and not too crowded.
Flip at regular intervals and fry until golden brown. Remove on a paper towel.
Serve immediately with green chutney and chai.

Note:
Batter should have thick consistency and mix well to make crispy and fluffy pakoras.
When you drop batter coated slices in oil, do not touch them for 20-30 seconds, to make fluffy pakoras.
Store in the fridge for upto 2 days. Air fry or heat in the oven for 5 minutes at 375 F before serving.
Potatoes can be sliced without boiling but I like half boiled potatoes.

#daalkachori#aloosabji#taste#easy#mudita’skitchen daal Kachori is a very satisfying meal. When daal, flour and vegetable combonde then it is a very great feeling recipe on 👇🏾

Ingredient
Make
12
1 cup Urad Daal (can be found in Indian stores)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp fennel seed - crushed
1 tsp Garam masala
1/2 tsp amchoor powder
Salt to taste
1 tsp ginger - finely chopped
1 tsp green chilli - finely chopped
1/2 tsp hing
2 cup oil
Method
To make the dough, add salt to the flour and mix. Then add the oil and mix. Finally, add 1 cup water and knead until the ingredients are combined. If required add more water, and make a hard dough. And spread oil on the surface. Cover the lid and rest for about 15 minutes.

Stuffing

First soak the dal for 6 hours. Grind the dal, but not all the way to a paste. After that, put the pan on the stove and add about two tbsp of oil. Add the hing, ginger, and the green chilly. Mix the dal and the ginger mixture in the pan. Keep at slow heat for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously. After that, add dry masala, red chilly, coriander powder, amchoor powder, garam masala, salt and fennel seed. Cool the stuffing for about ½ hour.

Take the dough and divide it into equal sized pieces, about the size of a golf ball. Take each one and stuff with about 1 tbsp of dal in the same way that parathas are stuffed. Before rolling the dough, leave it alone for about 2 or 3 minutes.

Then, roll the kachori. If the dough is sticky when rolling, dust some flour onto the dough or brush on some oil. The kachoris should have a diameter of about 3 inches. Then, start frying. Start at slow heat. Pour the rest of the oil in a frypan. When the oil starts smoking, then put the kachoris in and deep fry both sides. Fry all kachoris in the same manner. Your kachoris are ready!

Serve with pickle and tea or aloo curry at hot or room temperature.
Note : if you want the day before to make dal stuffing, make it and keep in the fridge, and use it for about a week.

#lemanpickle#oilless#mudita’skitchen, Most of the pickles in the market are made with oil and have a thick layer of oil, which helps preserve the pickle. I like my lemon pickle made without any oil. I used an old family recipe that has been passed down by my grand mom. The beauty of this pickle is enhanced by the "no-oil" factor and can be stored for years#recipeon👇🏾

Ingredients- 6 lemons (12 if they are smaller)
½ Cup salt
¼ Cup red chilli powder
½ Cup sugar
3 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp methi seeds (Fenugreek seeds)
1 tsp black mustard seeds
¼ tsp hing powder (Asafoetida)
Juice of 1 lemon (2-3 if smaller)
Large glass jar, approx 2 liters or ½ gallon

Method

Take a sharp knife and cut the lemons, 1 lemon is 8 piece
Then, take a fry pan and add methi seeds, mustard seeds and hing, then roast on slow heat for about 3 minutes.
Now, grind above into powder
Take a big wide bowl and mix salt, red chilly, sugar, turmeric powder and methi powder(mustard,hing) prepared above
Add lemon pieces to the bowl and mix so that spice coats all the pieces
Transfer the bowl content to the jar. Make sure jar is totally dry without any moisture
Mix and add lemon juice.
Close the lid and mix the lemon with spice
Now, keep in the sun for about 15 days - 30 days depending on weather and sun intensity till lemos are tender. If required, add more lemon juice
Pickle is ready to eat. Store it in an airtight container. Will last 1 year or more depending on conditions.
