Weekend Lunch Menu is always bit loaded than the normal days menu. Usually i ask my hubby dear to decide the menu, Potato curry was a must in yday menu card. Got this recipe from Srivalli, the Super blogger and the brain behind the MEC Event. The dish was a super hit. Thanks Srivalli for a wonderful recipe. I have modified it a bit, srivalli has used garam masala, i substituted it with some ginger-garlic paste. The rest i followed what she has given.
Ingredients

5 Medium-Sized Potatoes
4 nos Baby Corn
1 large Onion
1 tsp Ginger-garlic Paste
2 tsp red chilli powder
Curry leaves a fist
Hing a pinch
turmeric powder a pinch
Oil , mustard seeds, cumin seeds for the seasoning

Method

Wash and Peel the Potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Take them in a Microwave Safe bowl, add enough water and Cook @ high for 10 minutes. The Potatoes will be half-cooked, this is great for getting roasted potatoes :), mm yum, yum.(somebody is on a diet :))
Take another Microwave safe dish, add 1 tsp of oil and MW high for a minute, add mustard seeds, cumin,hing and curry leaves and MW high for another minute. When they crackle, Add onions and MW high for 2-3minutes, take out and stir in between to avoid burned onions.
When the onions are sauted well, add Ginger-garlic paste and corn and MW high for 3 minutes then add Potatoes add Chilli powder, turmeric and salt and another teaspoon of oil and MW high for 5 minutes, take out and stir in between. Check if the rawness of the chilli powder has escaped, else MW high for another

Spiced Corn Cake/Corn Dhokla – Day 7, Blogging Marathon #4

April 24, 2011
17 Comments
Today is the last day of the 7 Day Marathon, tired of Sweet bakes, wanted to bake a spiced cake. Decided to make Corn Dhokla, i have tried the normal steam version, this time i wanted to try baking it. It came out good, but took about 45 minutes to get out of the Oven. My Hubby’s Verdict, Baked Version tastes better than the traditional Steam-Cooked Dhokla.:)

Ingredients
1 Cup Corn (i used frozen)
1 cup Semolina/Sooji
2 Green Chillies
1 tsp ginger juliennes
1 sprig curry leaves
1/2 Cup Yoghurt

1 tsp Fruit Salt
1 tsp lemon juice

Salt to taste

Method

Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease the muffin pan. Blend Corn with Green chillies, ginger, curry leaves and yoghurt to a smooth batter. Transfer it to a bowl, add Semolina and mix well. Add Salt, at this stage.  Add fruit salt  and lemon juice and give a gentle stir. Fill the batter up to 3/4th of the Cup and Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cooking time, differs from oven to oven. Do the Skewer Test to confirm the done-ness of the dhokla. 
You can even try reducing the temperature to 150C and cook for some more time. This way, may be the top would also stay soft.  Let it cool a bit in the pan.Transfer it to a Serving Plate. Add a tadka of mustard seeds and hing.  Serve Warm with Mint chutney.

Quick Corn and Paneer Subzi

January 5, 2011
14 Comments
This Recipe is from Tarla Dalal’s Paneer CookBook. It was so Easy and Quick to make. If you have sudden Visitors and  want to surprise them with a Delicious Paneer Recipe, you can Trust on this!!!!

Ingredients
1 cup Sweet Corn Kernels (i used frozen)
1 cup Paneer
1 cp onions, sliced
1/2 cup Capsicum, sliced
1 cup tomatoes, sliced
1 tsp roasted cumin powder 
1/2 tsp chilli powder
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste

Method
Heat oil in  a pan and fry the onions. Add the sweet corn and capsicum and cook for atleast 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and fry again.  Add the cumin powder, chilli powder and salt.  Mix well and cookj for 1 minute. Add the paneer and cook for 3-4 minutes. Serve Hot.

Freshly made Paneer, might add more taste to the dish. I have used Store-brought frozen paneer/Cottage Cheese. While using frozen paneer, soak the paneer in Hot water for 5-10 minutes to soften it. Use freshly made Cumin Powder, it definitely brings a lot of taste to the Dish. Before adding oil to the pan, roast the cumin seeds and use a mortar-pestle to powder it. If you dont have M-P, Keep it on Paper and Crush it with  Rolling Pin!!!!
