Protein Rich Pav Bhaji and A Product Review

Pav Bhaji is a famous fast food dish of Maharashtra. In general, bhaji is prepared with mashed potatoes and other vegetables. I replaced potatoes with chickpeas and peas in this recipe. You can check the bhaji recipe with potato and other vegetables here.

Chandrika Pav Bhaji Masala is mildly flavoured with all the spices. The masala really gave a nice aroma and colour. As the masala already contained chillies and pepper, I didn't use any extra chilli powder. If you want it to be more spicy, you can either add chopped green chillies or red chilli powder.

Ingredients :

1. Chickpeas - 1 Cup (Soaked and Cooked)

2. Peas - 1 Cup (Cooked)

3. Onion - 1/2 Cup (Finely Chopped)

4. Tomato - 1/2 Cup (Finely Chopped)

5. Bell Pepper - 1/4 Cup (Finely Chopped)

6. Carrot - 1 (Grated)

7. Cauliflower - 1/4 Cup (Finely Chopped)

8. Ginger-Garlic Paste - 1 tsp

9. Chandrika Pav Bhaji Masala - 2.5 tsp

10. Salt - Needed Qty

11. Coriander - 1/4 Cup (Finely Chopped)

12. Oil - 1 tbs

13. Lemon Juice - 2 tsp

Procedure :

1. Cook chickpeas and peas together.

2. Take half the quantity of cooked chickpeas and peas.Blend till smooth. Keep aside.

3. In a pan, add oil and Saute onion till soft.

4. Now, add ginger-garlic paste to the onion. saute till the ginger-garlic paste turns golden brown.

5. Add tomato, chopped bell pepper,cauliflower, grated carrot cooked chickpeas and peas. Mix them all together with salt.

6. Add, a cup of water and Chandrika Pav Bhaji Masala or any Pav Bhaji Masala you have.

7. Cover the pan with lid and let the contents cook well.

8. After about 15 minutes, add chickpeas and peas paste to the contents in the pan.

9. Wait till the contents get thickened with occasional stirring. Add lemon juice.

10. Garnish with chopped coriander.

11. Serve hot with toasted pav buns.

They sell the PavBhaji Masala at reasonable cost (100 gms for $2.50). The masala is really fresh and prepared in home-made style. They do ship their products all over US and you can order through their website.

Yogurt Rice and A Product Review

Last week, I got these eco-friendly disposable plates from Marx Foods for doing a review. The first thing I noticed about the plates is their pretty perfect shape. They sent me hexagonal plates and round plates. I was taken by the pretty look of the plates. These elegant looking plates are made from naturally discarded sheaths of the leaves of the Adaka palm tree which are actually collected from the forest floor. These palm plates are really firm. Marx Foods sell plates at the cost of $33.50 for 25 pieces and $77.25 for 100 pieces. These pretty, firm, eco-friendly plates are best for any party.

When I first saw the round plates from Marx Foods, I was reminded of the thonnai (handmade cups made out of dried plantain leaves), which is used to serve prasadam like Sakkarai Pongal, Ven Pongal, Sundal and Yogurt Rice in temples. So, I decided to take pictures with one of these dishes. I prepared yogurt rice and here is the recipe for Yogurt rice.

Ingredients :

1. Rice - 1 Cup (Cooked)

2. Milk - 3/4 Cup (Boiled and cooled)

3. Butter - 1 tsp

4. Yogurt - 1/2 Cup

5. Mustard - 1 tsp

6. Ginger - 1/2 tsp (Grated)

7. Carrot - 1/4 Cup (Grated)

8. Green Chilly - 1 (Finely Chopped)

9. Salt - Needed Qty

10. Oil - 2 tsp

11. Curry Leaf - A few

12. Grapes/pomegranate - 1/2 Cup

Procedure :

1. Mash the rice with salt. Add butter and yogurt. Mix well.

2. Now, add milk, grated ginger and carrot. Mix completely.

3. In a pan, heat oil Splutter mustard. Then add curry leaves and green chillies. Fry for a second.

4. Add this to the rice.

5. Add fruits like pomegranate/ grapes.

6. Serve with pickle.

I kept the yogurt rice in the palm plates for more than 30 minutes and to my surprised, there was no leakage at all. I'm satisfied with the beautiful looking, leak proof palm plates. In another plate, I kept plantain fry/roast (will be posting the recipe soon) and I was able to reuse that plate with just wiping it off with damp kitchen towel. So, the plates/bowl from Mark foods can also be reused if dry dishes were served. Though, the cost of the plate may sound high, I personally felt, they are worth for the money paid.

Red Kidney Bean & Mint Biryani and A Product Review

Chandrika Masala company is based out of Texas. They prepare all flours & masala in a hygienic way. They also offer variety of healthy products for people who have high allergies or diabetes, cholestrol. I feel that this is a boon to people like us living here in US. They sent me a pack of Biryani Masala to do the review. I prepared this Red Kidney Bean and Mint Biryani using their masala. We really loved the flavour of the masala.

Ingredients :

1. Basmati Rice - 1 Cup

2. Onion - 1/2 Cup (Chopped)

3. Tomato - 1 (Chopped)

4. Mint Leaves - 1/2 Cup

5. Green Chilly - 3 or adjust to you taste

6. Red Kidney Bean - 1/2 Cup (Soaked and Cooked)

7. Ginger-Garlic Paste - 1 tsp

8. Chandrika Biryani Masala (or any Biryani or Garam Masala) - 1 tsp

9. Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp

10. Salt - Needed Qty

11. Oil - 1 tbs

12. Coriander Leaves - 1/4 Cup (Finely Chopped)

Procedure :

1. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan. Fry green chillies and mint together. Cool, grind and keep aside.

2. Add remaining oil in the pan. Fry ginger-garlic paste till golden brown. Add onion and tomato. Fry till onion turns golden brown.

3. Add cooked Red Kidney Bean, Chandrika Biryani Masala, Turmeric Powder and Salt. Mix well.

4. Now, add the ground mint and green chillies. Mix everything together and keep the contents in medium flame for 5 minutes. Put off the flame.

5. Add washed basmati rice. Mix well and cook in rice cooker.

6. Garnish with coriander leaves.

7. Serve hot with raitha and chips.

In general, I used to add whole spices along with garam masala in Biryani. But this time, I just avoided all those spices and used Chandrika Biryani Masala alone. Just a teaspoon of this Biryani Masala did the job of all the whole spices and the Biryani filled our whole house with nice aroma. Chandrika Biryani masala is a perfect blend of spices like Fennel, Nutmeg, Mace, etc... Also, I felt that the cost of the masala is not too high. They offer 100gms of Biryani masala for $3. They sell masalas in neat packs with proper label. Personally, I'm satisfied with their Biryani masala and hope to try out few products from them soon.
