Baked Poha Cutles

Mostly on Fridays, I try to make Chat dishes. So One Friday, I wanted to make chole tikki. Made Chole and was wondering which tikkis I should go for it. I wanted to make poha cutlets for long but didn't wanted to shallow fry so I baked it, It was nice and crunchy and was perfect with my chat. Enjoyed it with spicy, tangy Ragda pattice and we all enjoyed it. you can shallow fry this too.

Ingredients :

3 potatoes boiled and mashed
1 cup washed and rinsed poha (flatten Rice Flakes)
1/2 tsp. each cumin seeds and mustard seeds
1 small onion finely chopped
1 tsp. red chili powder
1 green chili finely chopped
1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
salt to taste
lime juice to taste
2 tbsp. oil
2 tbsp. finely chopped coriander leaves

Method:

Boiled the potatoes and mash it in a bowl.
Wash and clean the poha in container and keep it aside.
Heat a small pan and add oil in it. Add mustard seeds when its popped, add cumin seeds, when it changes the color, add onion and cook till its pink.
Add red chili powder, green chili, turmeric powder and salt. Mix it nicely.
Take it away from flame and add that masala to potato mixture.
Add poha in it too. Add lime juice and coriander leaves and mix it nicely.
Preheat the oven at 400 F.
Make all your tikkis / cutlets as per your desired shape.

 spray the baking dish with oil and put the cutlets in it.

When done making it, bake it till nice and brown on both sides about 20 minutes or so.
Enjoy hot with chole or ragda pattice.

 I have fire in the down of the oven so I cooked it on low side to make it nice and crunchy but if you have broiler, do it that way.

Well it is mango season all year around when you have nice can mango pulp. I made this cake in May for one our get together and totally forget about this to post it  but better late than never. So I made this from one of my very good friend, Kanan's  recipe. Her recipe always comes out as per her click , no matter who makes it and I am a big fan of her recipes. I have tried few of her and loved by everyone. So I made this and everyone loved it too,I made cardamom and cream cheese icing which gives nice flavor almost like srikhand. so lets get to baking.

1 and 1/4 cups AP flour
1 tsp. baking powder

In a bowl , add dry ingredients and in another bowl, wet ingredients.

Now add dry ingredients in wet little by little and mix it.

 Pour the batter into pan and bake it for 30-40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Let it cool completely, then take it out from pan and  then also leave it out for 2-3 hours to cool it from inside.

I leave it for good 3 hours.
Now its time to start making icing.

Mysore Rasam

Since I started to make rasam, love to play with different kind of it. When I made it, it was full blown summer but can not control to eat this. AC was on and We were enjoying this delicious meal. I made pesarattu with achari  masala filling, sambhar, this rasam, coconut chutney , ginger chutney. I use ready made rasam powder but if you have home made that's best. I love all Mysore delicacy you know, specially Mysore rava masala dosa is my favorite so when I saw this recipe I have to make it. I altered it from Tamarind water to tomato puree, because my mom has knee problem and that sour is not good for her. Its very common in  our parents so this is a nice variation from tamarind to tomato. But if you have no problem with tamarind use that one.

Ingredients :

1/4 cup tuvar dal (yellow pigeon peas)
1/2 cup water
2 small tomatoes chopped and make puree with 1 and 1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
few curry leaves
salt to taste
2 tbsp. Rasam powder
lots of fresh chopped coriander

For tempering :

1 tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp. cumin seeds / jeera
1/2 tsp. mustard seeds / Rai
2 red chilies dry
1/4 tsp. hind
2 finely chopped garlic

Method:

Pressure cook tuvar dal with 1/2 cup water till its nice and mushy.
Switch off the heat and allow it cool.
In a pan, add tomato puree with 1 cup of water. Here you can use tamarind with 3 cups of water.
Add curry leaves , turmeric and salt and rasam powder to water.
Bring it to boil till raw smell of tomato goes away.
Heat the small pan for tempering, add oil and add all ingredients one by one and mix it to tomato mixture.
Switch it off and add coriander leaves in it.
Serve hot with dosa, idlis, pesarattu, rice.
