    Shallow-fried Thayir Vadai - perfectly soaked.

    Recipe:

    This is Amma’s recipe for Bonda Morkuzambu. I shallow fried it, soaked in milk & made Thayir Bonda. After tasting it, I feel, this proportion is used by the chefs, in weddings & big functions, where thayir vadai is served!! The taste is just the same & the recipe is fool-proof. One big advantage is, even if the dough becames slightly loose, no worries! They have to be dropped for shallw frying only as bondas & not patted into vadais!

    Wash & soak for 45 mtes:

    Urad dhal - ¾ cup

    Tur dhal - ¼ cup

    Drain well for minimum 30 mtes.

    Grind red chillies + green chillies + hing + curry leaves & salt with minimum water & keep ready.

    I used FP for grinding the dhals. First don’t add water & thereafter with a teaspoon. When uniformly ground, add the spice paste, give a run & remove.

    Shallow fry in Paniyara Chatti in little (only) oil. I kept it covered for uniform cooking in minimum oil. You can use the mini-oothappam pan with equal ssuccess.

    Flip & cook.

    Keep hot (not boiling) milk & ready.

    From the paniyaram/mini-oothappam pan, transfer the bondas to the milk.

    By doing this, the bondas get a richer taste (of milk) and the little oil absorbed is drawn out by the milk.

    When well soaked, strain completely (do not squeeze) & transfer to a serving dish.

    Top with churned thick curds to which ground green chillies + salt are added. What you add to the curds is your preference.

    Throw away the oily milk.

    Chill & serve.

    Jalepeno-Cheese Croquettes - an excellent starter!!

    This recipe is best with jalepeno peppers. We don’t get them here & so, I substituted Bajji chillies without deseeding them.

    For the outer covering, make a dough with:

    Potatoes - 3 medium, boiled, peeled & mashed

    Cornflour - 2 tsp

    salt

    Filling to stuff inside:

    Grated cheese & grated paneer - each ¼ cup

    Finely chopped capsicum , finely copped onions - each ¼ cup

    Chopped chillies - ¼ cup

    Italian Seasoning & Paprika - each, 1 tsp

    Oregano - ½ tsp

    Salt

    Make small balls with filling & stuff inside the potato mixture.

    Deep fry or shallow fry, as I have shown.

    Serve with a mixture of tomato sauce+chilli sauce with Italian seasoning sprinkled over.
