Farali Aloo Tikki | Farali Aloo Pattice | Vrat ki Aloo Tikki

By -

One of the most famous and by far my personal favorite amongst the street foods of India is the ultimate crispy and karaari Aloo ki Tikki. Absolutely crisp on the outside with often a spicy filling inside made with chana dal or moong dal and served along with spicy mint-coriander and sweetened tamarind-jaggery chutneys, the aloo tikki is definitely a foodie's delight. 

It's been almost 2 years that I did not happen to eat this lovely snack recipe from the streets of Delhi as I was dealing with quite a number of health issues and also being covid so much around, was avoiding the street food. Having said that, I did make the Stuffed Chana Dal Aloo Tikki just a couple of weeks back at home and thoroughly enjoyed it to my heart's content...if you also want to make the exact similar street style Aloo Tikki recipe, do check it out here....

Now as you know how much I am fond of the Aloo Tikki, I even tried its farali version that can be had in fast and I must say, this too was a treat for my tastebuds. Crispy exterior with a slightly sweet, tangy and spicy filling made with assorted nuts, some khoya/ mawa, raisins and desiccated coconut powder, that taste of the tikki was absolutely beautiful and well-balanced in terms of its flavour profile. Navratris are just around the corner and if you too are planning to make something special for your Vrat or upwas, do check the recipe below....I am sure you are gonna love it.... I enjoyed this tikki with green coriander and peanut chutney....you can pair it with any chutney of your choice.

METHOD

  • In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients mentioned under Filling section above. Mix everything nicely, it should resemble a dough. 
  • Try to make the filling little on a spicier side to balance out on the sweetness.
  • Pinch out small lemon sized portions from the filling, shape into balls and keep aside.
  • Now, in another mixing bowl, combine and knead all the ingredients (except oil) mentioned under the Outer Crust section above.
  • This mixture should also come like a non-sticky dough. You may use a little more arrowroot powder to get the right consistency.
  • From this dough too, pinch out equal lemon size portions and shape into balls.
  • Taking one outer crust ball at a time, tap it a little and flatten on your palms. Place a ball of the stuffing made earlier in the center of the flattened portion. Now gently start gathering the sides and seal the filling nicely inside.
  • Tap a little and shape into a tikki/ cutlet. Continue with all the dough balls.
  • Roll each tikki into arrowroot powder again. Dust off the excess.
  • Heat up the oil in a kadai on medium flame. Gently slide in the tikkis 3 to 4 at a time in the medium hot oil and fry on medium-high flame until golden from all sides.
  • You can also shallow fry if you wish too.
  • Serve hot with any chutney of your choice.

Idli is one of the healthiest Indian breakfast options by far. These soft, pillowy and melt-in-mouth lentil cakes are traditionally made by fermenting rice and urad dal batter overnight; however, the entire process could be quite cumbersome and involves a little amount of planning ahead.

Bhatura is a leavened, puffed deep fried bread made from Maida or All Purpose Flour. A popular recipe from the Punjabi cuisine, it is mainly served with spiced chickpea curry such as Pindi Chholey and Amritsari Chholey . Traditionally, bhatura is made using fermented dough, which is rested for minimum of 6 hours and has a peculiar tang to it. However, when you are short of time and crave for this delicious Chole Bhatura combo, these instant bhaturas come to your rescue. Quick and easy to prepare, they use Eno Fruit Salt as the leavening agent and trust me, that lends the bhaturas with that perfect crispness on outside and perfect fluffiness on the inside.

Burani Raita Recipe | Spiced, Garlic Flavored Yogurt

By -
Image
Burani Raita is a famous Indian accompaniment to spicy biryanis and pulaos. A Hyderabadi specialty, it uses some thick yogurt that is mixed with few pounded cloves of garlic and some basic spice powders like red chili and roasted cumin, which lend it that much-needed hint of spicy kick. Not to mention, when it comes to making the Burani Raita, it is no more than a five minutes process and makes for an ideal side dish to go along with any kind of rice preparation or even chapati & sabzi combination. Ideally, this utterly flavorful and aromatic raita only has to it, some pounded raw garlic, however, I have given it a slight twist by topping it with some fried garlic bits and some red chili oil for extra flavoring. This step is totally optional and you can skip it altogether by sticking to the traditional way of making it. So, not wasting any time further, lets move on to the recipe....

Dhaba Style Besan ki Phulki wali Kadhi

By -
Image
Kadhi is a popular delicacy from the Indian cuisine that is made using gram flour and yogurt as a base. Having said that, the recipe of this luscious and beautiful curry differs from region to region and from every household to household. Coming from the Punjabi family, for us, Kadhi Pakoda has always meant a sour and spicy kadhi, which essentially has the soft onion or palak/spinach fritters dunked into the luscious gramflour-yogurt gravy. And I guess, most of the Punjabi households make the kadhi in a similar manner...  However, if you have ever had kadhi at a dhaba or a street-side restaurant, you would have noticed that the pakodas added in the kadhi doesn't make use of onions, spinach or any other vegetable.  The pakodas are more like phulkis (plain and soft gramflour dumplings), which are spiced with just a handful of spices and some ginger for the rustic flavor. Despite of that the kadhi is simply delectable and the spicy tadka with whole lots of crushed dhaniya seeds ma
