Hello from my part of the world!!!!!!!!!

School holidays are over and my boys are back to school from today. Celebrating the last day of their holidays with an unusual Ambode recipe from my hometown. I have tweaked in a little by adding multigrain powder  and banana blossom that makes the amobode more crispy ,crunchy and tasty.

1 Tbsp  Fresh Ginger finely chopped

Salt to Taste

2 Tbsp Multigrain Powder ( refer to notes)

Salt to taste

Oil for frying

Method:

Soak channa dal for about 2.5 to 3 hours.

Remove the tough reddish leaves  and florets of the banana blossom one by one.Beneath these leaves there is a row of delicate yellow-tipped florets that can be removed and immediately soaked in butter milk  to avoid discoloration and bitterness.The florets are part of a tedious cleaning process.Pluck the matchstick-shaped pistil and soak the cleaned florets in butter milk again.

Grind and make a fine paste of Coriander ,jeera ,ginger ,green chilli and red chillies .Tranfer this mixture to a wide bowl. Now Coarsely grind channa dal and add it to the chilli coriander mixture. Now add hing, salt , multigrain powder , chopped florets and mix well. Add a tbsp of sizzling hot oil and mix well. Take a small quantity of mixture ,shape it into a round flat patty and deep fry until both the sides are golden brown.

Serve with any chutney or sauce of your choice. I enjoyed them with curd rice.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Notes :

1. Clean the florets properly and ensure to remove the pistil. Immediately soak the cleaned florets in butter milk to avoid discoloration and bitterness.

STUFFED MANGO PANCAKES

Hello !!!!!!!

Work has kept me busy and away from blogging for sometime. Hope you are all looking forward to my latest recipe.Today i will be sharing a very popular dessert from HongKong. This yummy dessert is so light and refreshing  that it will leave you craving for more.This dessert is actually a thin pillow shaped crepe stuffed with whipping cream and mango chunks.It tastes absolutely divine and is so easy to to make it at home.My boys went gaga over this dish.I just loved the elastic and moist pancake with mango chunks.

Recipe for Stuffed Mango Pancake:

Ingredients:

(1Cup =240 ML)

1 Cup Fresh Milk

1/3 Cup Unbleached All purpose Flour

3 Eggs lightly beaten

1/4 Cup Custard Powder (Plain)

10 Gms melted Butter

For Stuffing :

1/4 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1/2 Tbsp Icing Sugar

300 ML Whipping Cream

3 Mangoes peeled and cut into chunks

Method:

Take a mixing bowl. Pour the milk in the bowl. Now sift the flour ,icing sugar and custard powder into the bowl.Whisk all the ingredients untill it is lump free and well combined.Add the lightly beaten eggs and melted butter to the mixture. Mix well. Now sieve this mixture in order to remove the lumps if any. Custard powder gives a nice yellow colour to the pancake.

Heat  a non stick pan over low heat. Pour  mixture using a ladle and swirl it to form a thin disc (just like  you make dosa). Once the air pockets appear on the top remove the pancake and allow it to cool .It is to be cooked only on one side.Repeat this procedure for the balance mixture.

In the meantime whip the cream and whipping cream till you get stiff peaks. I have added a tsp of icing sugar to this mixture.

Now lay the pancake on a flat surface .Smooth side will be facing down. Add a tsp of whipped cream in the centre of the pancake.Place a mango chunk on the top.Wrap the filling from all the four sides to shape like a pillow. Place the folded side facing down and chill these pancakes for about 30 minutes before you serve . This will keep the whipped cream stiff.  My boys could not wait so i had to serve it immediately.

 

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
