Welcome!!!!
Welcome to this site which is a collection of some of my favourite things that I enjoy and love to do.
To start with,here are some receipes that I enjoyed cooking and eating as well. Most of the items, I learnt from my Mother in Law who is a very good cook. She has a golden touch, whatever she cooks is very delicious.
I enjoy Reading books on cooking, gardening and non-fiction. I will try and put some of my gardening experiences later on a different blog.
Sitar is something I have longed to learn, but will try my hand when I get to buy one for myself. I love listening to Ravi Shankar, Chandrakantha, David, Roop Verma...
Mixed Vegetable Patties
Ingredients
2 tablespoon(s) oil
4 onions finely chopped
2 cup(s) mixed vegetables (cauliflower, beans,carrots) chopped fine
½ cup(s) green peas parboiled
2 big potato(es) boiled and chopped fine
2 small beetroot(s) boiled and chopped fine
salt to taste
1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
2 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh coriander leaves
oil for shallow frying

2 tablespoon(s) grated coconut
4 green chilli(es) finely chopped
1 small onion(s) chopped
4 flakes garlic(s) chopped
1 teaspoon(s) ginger chopped
2 clove(s)
1" piece of cinnamon
2 tablespoon(s) coriander leaves chopped
salt to taste
Method |
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions on medium heat for about 3 minutes or till they become transparent. Add the ground paste and fry for about 2 minutes or till aromatic and the raw smell has gone.
- Mix in the chopped mixed vegetables and green peas. Stir-fry on high heat briefly till the vegatables are well coated with the paste. Cover and cook on low heat whilst stirring at intervals for about 4 minutes or till they are half cooked.
- Add the boiled potato and beetroot. Sprinkle salt to taste and mix well. Cover and cook on low heat whilst stirring for about 4 minutes. Let cool. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped fresh coriander leaves. Shape the mixture into patties.
- Heat a griddle and grease it with oil. Place 4-5 patties on the griddle and fry on each side (drizzle some oil while flipping the patties) till both the sides are golden brown. Fry the remaining patties in the same way.
TIPS:
- Beetroot makes the patties very colorful and is nutritious too!
- Chillies can be increased or decreased as desired.
