Bringing in the new year with a last minute get together of friends. Here's a starter you can make fast with a lot of flavour and taste on offer. How you ask? There are three variations I offer that you can make in the same style of cooking. Saves time like how!
Kurkuri basket!!
Sounds quite appetizing already? The kurkuri basket will have a few vegetables, potatoes, paneer etc in their best that is crunchy form. and guess what? you can make a non veg platter for the same as well.
Ingredients:
1 cup each of boiled and mashed potato, sweet potato,
1 cup grated paneer
1/2 cup chopped mint and corainder leaves (dhaniya and pudhina patta)
1/2 cup of onion- optional
some chopped green chillies- as per taste
1 tsp cumin powder (jeera powder)
pinch of aamchoor powder (dry mango powder)
salt to taste
for the batter:
1/2 cup of all purpose flour (maida)
1/3 cup of poha (flattened rice)
Method:
Bring together potato,onion,chilli and dhaniya along with jeera, aamchoor powder and salt and make into small balls. You can do combinations of your choice with mixing sweet potato with mint leaves and paneer with a bit of other chopped veggies and potato and give them any shape you like.
Now, in a flat dish combine the maida and a little water to make a smooth but thick paste.
Now dunk the potato, sweet potato and paneer balls in the paste and then roll them in the poha properly in order to get a good crunch!
Deep fry the balls until golden brown.
Drain extra oil on a tissue and serve in a cute basket with chutney and dips of your choice. I like the basic ketchup pretty good as an accompaniment.
Aint this a cool thing to do? you get three flavors in one go and they are something hattke from the conventional pakoras. Maze lo!!
