CHINESE BREAD POCKETS

தமிழில் காண :  கிளிக் 

Hi All,
CHINESE BREAD POCKETS! I recently read this recipe from a cook book which my mum gave me during this visit.Though it is deep fried in oil but still it has vegetables so I thought of giving a try for my little daughter.It is very easy to make and also one of the easiest way to make my daughter eat her vegs.
Actual recipe says to dip the toasted bread in water and squeeze but that way I found the pockets absorb more oil during frying , so I altered the recipe a little and here below the recipe for you ,

INGREDIENTS :
Grated Vegs ( carrot , cabbage , beetroot ) - 3 cup ( you can add vegs of your choice).
Onion – 1 no.
Ghee – 2 tsp.
Butter – 1 tsp.
Salt – as required.
Chilli powder – 1 tsp.
Garam masala powder – 1 tsp.
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp.
Bread – 10 slices.
Oil – for deep frying.


METHOD :
  1. Grate vegs to small pieces , chop onion to small bits.
  2. In a pan heat ghee ,add vegs and saute in high flame till vegs cooked , but little crunchy.
  3. When vegs are cooked to crunchy add salt , garam masala powder , chilli powder and saute for a minute till they are mixed well with vegs and raw smell leaves.
  4. Remove from flame and let them come down to room temperature.
  5. In the mean time , cut the brown edges of bread .
  6. Heat butter in tawa and toast the bread slices in both sides till golden brown.Remove and cool down.
  7. Once bread slices cooled down , place 2 tsp of sauteed vegs in middle of bread .
  8. Place another bread slice over the vegs placed bread and seal the edges using wet finger.
  9. Dip your fingers in water and press edges of both bread slices till they seal properly.
  10. Likewise stuff vegs in bread and seal them.
  11. Heat oil in wide kadai , when oil reaches piping hot , gently drop the bread pockets in hot oil and fry for one minute in both sides ( 1 minute is enough for each side).
  12. Remove from flame and serve hot with ketchup.
    HAPPY COOKING!!

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
