Vegetable Spring rolls with Indian Flavors

These are the delicious rolls, that are crisp out side and soft inside. The filling inside the spring rolls can be made to our taste. I like Indian flavors so I prepared it in Indian style.here re the few tips for making the perfect spring rolls. Adding more spices will destroy the taste of the spring roll. Less amount of spices including salt will make you to enjoy the beautiful and unique flavor of a spring roll. Do not stuff your spring roll with lots of stuffing mixture, just add a spoon full, it should be good. While rolling a spring roll, roll it tight so that no spaces are left inside the filling. While frying it try to fry it on a medium heat so that the inner part also gets cooked.

Ingredients: Serves:2 Serving size:3 Spring roll sheets: 6 Cabbage finely chopped-1cup Tofu shreaded-1/4cup(optional)

Carrot shredded-1/2cup Onion finely chopped-1/2cup Spring onion- chopped-5 Grated potato-3tbsp Ginger paste-1tea spoon garlic paste- tea spoon Cumin powder-1/2tbsp pepper powder to taste Salt to taste 1tbsp of maida/all purpose flour mixed with 2tbsp of water-to stick edges(You can use egg wash if you wish) oil-1tbsp Oil for frying spring rolls Method: Heat oil in a pan and add all vegetables and cook by closing the pan, keep stirring them in between. when the vegetables are 80% done add ginger, garlic, cumin powder, salt and pepper powder. Addition of soy sauce is optional, if you would like to add 1tbsp should be enough. Mix all the ingredients well and cook in the open pan, allowing all the moisture to escape. The filling should look dry, if there is still any moisture left, keep stirring and cook it on medium flame till it becomes dry. Now take the curry and allow it to cool. Take the spring roll sheets out of the refrigerator and cover them with a damp cloth, this will help them from drying out. Now take one sheet and put the filling on one corner as shown, roll it tightly and stick the final edge with all purpose flour. Heat oil in a skillet and fry them under medium heat and enjoy with ketchup/tomato sauce. Generally these spring rolls are deep fried, if you wish you can deep fry them either..

Sweet Potato curry Puffs

Sweet potatoes are the excellent source of vitamins and nutrients. These sweet potatoes come in several different varieties viz yellow, Orange & purple etc., Orange sweet potato is some times called as Yam in North America. While browsing in the Internet I found out that it serves as a great food for the type-2 diabetes patients. It will induce the production of insulin to certain extent. Apart from this it contains fiber which is a major health beneficiary.

In India sweet potatoes are had during the long fasting hours for instant energy. In villages I remember my grand mother used to grill them on a direct flame, and later serve by removing the skin and seasoned with salt. These are cooked in many different varieties all over the world. I am presenting you the little Indianised version of a puff pastry. Ingredients Sweet potato-1big Onion finely chopped-1cup Green chili finely chopped-1/2tbsp Curry leafs-finely chopped-10 leaves Salt to taste Pepper powder to taste chat masala-1/4tbsp(optional) or Amchur powder/dry mango powder-pinch(optional) Lemon juice-2tbsp oil-2tbsp mustard seeds-1/4tbsp cumin seeds-1/4tbsp Puff pastry sheet-1 (makes 6 puffs) Method Cook sweet potato with little salt.

Take the pastry sheet out of the pack and wait till it comes to room temperature. Unroll the pastry sheet and cut it into six equal pieces. Place the curry in every sheet and close it. Pre heat the oven to 400F. Mean while place the puffs in the refrigerator for 5min and bake for 20-25min. Till puffs are golden brown. Enjoy these puffs with tomato sauce. .

Pasta with corn in Indian style

Pasta is kids favorite food, the best thing about the pasta is it absorbs the flavor very well, when you cook in any kind of sauce and tastes different even with a slight variation in the recipe. Do you think pasta is good or bad? I did a little research on nutrient facts on pasta and found out that pasta is neither good nor bad. It depends on the way you cook, how often you eat and what kind of ingredients you use in cooking. Now a days different kinds of pastas are available in the market among them soy pasta is the best!!! The other grain pastas are also good, here you can see the information of nutrient facts in a dry pasta, the good thing about pastas is they give you minimum of 8% fiber. Athletes eat pasta when they are preparing for a marathon, this is because the starch in the pasta releases energy slowly and for a long time they do not feel hungry!!!

Potato/ auloo parathaParatha, i'll start drooling by just listening to this name. I tried this recipe several times and failed. Just like the saying try and try until u succeed I tried it many times and this time I got perfect Paratha. In this post i'll give you some tips which will yield a perfect Paratha.

Ingredients ( makes 8 parathas) Potato 2 large boiled Green chili paste 3/4 tbsp 1/2 Onion finely grind Coriander powder 1/2tbsp Cumin powder 1/4 tbsp Turmeric pinch( optional) Salt to taste Cilantro/ coriander chopped 2 tbsp For dough Wheat flour 250grms Water 130ml Salt 1/4 tbsp Oil as required Method First we will see the dough preparation. Take flour in a large mixing bowl and add salt. Mix well. Now add 2 tbsp oil this will Smoothen the dough and mix well such that the entire flour gets coated with a tinge of oil. Now start kneading by adding little water. Keep adding until u get a soft dough. Generally 55% of water is required for the dough. That us if you take 100grms of dough you will require 55ml of

water to knead it. When you knead it perfectly then apply some oil on top of the dough on all sides and rest it for about 15 min. This will prevent evaporation of excess water from the dough and stopes it's surface from becoming dry. For stuffing:

Grate the potato with a large pore grater. You can mash it as well but while mashing we get some clumps which will tear the Paratha while rolling. Grating will yield more smooth stuffing. Now heat 2 tbsp of oil in a skillet and add grinded onion, ginger garlic paste and keep sauting till the raw flavor of onion goes away. Then add turmeric, cumin powder, salt and coriander powder and mix well. While all the ingredients are finely done, add potato and cilantro and turn off the stove. Mix well and allow it to cool. For Paratha Take the dough and knead well once again. Divide in to equal portions of I ping pong ball/ lemon size each. Now flatten the ball and dust with flour on all sides and press with hands on the edges so that it will stretch on edges and stay thin and middle portion remain thick. Now take same size if stuffing as the dough make it in to round shape and place on the centre of the dough and bring all edges of the dough to the top of the stuffing and close it. Now press the Paratha with hand gently to make it like roti and finally roll with chapati roller or pizza roller to make it flat and thin. now heat the flat bottom pan with 1 tbsp of oil spread all over and toast the Paratha on both sides by applying oil. Remove it when it starts browning. Now the Paratha is ready to serve. curd or raitha or any curry will serve as a best dip. But I like to have Paratha without any dip. Hope you like my recipe.

Masala Dosa
Dosa is the fermented batter pancake originated in Southern India. There are many varieties of dosa such as plain dosa, set dosa, paper dosa, MLA dosa, cheese dosa, mushroom dosa etc., my favorite is masala dosa. Just one dosa is enough to fill your stomach. I used to have dosa when ever I was hungry outside. My botany professor used to say, since dosa is fermented it contains very minute quantities of alcohol. That is the reason why you feel drowsy when you have dosa's. So, my dear students do not have dosa before your exam. coming to recipe.

Do not add more water be careful while grinding. Now take the batter in a vessel close the lid and let it say overnight. Place the plate below the vessel, when the batter gets fermented it may overflow. If you place plate beneath it the batter can be collected and used. Next day add little salt and mix well. Add water if required, check for the consistency of the batter, it shouldn't be too thick. If you take spoon full batter and drop from top it should fall continuously. Now the batter is ready we will see the masala preparation.
