Hot corny wadas with spicy chutney






Corny wada with spicy chutney

Ingredients:
4  Big size Corns (Bhuttas)
2 Table spoons of Moong dal/ Chana dal ( I have used both in  equal quanity)
1 spoon fennel seeds (Saunf)
1 spoon salt
3 green chillies
20 Curry leaves ( Meethi neem)
Onion: 1 medium sized
Fresh Corriander chopped :2 spoons full
Oil for frying

Karvanda Chutney:
1 bunch Coriander
4 Green chillies ( u can reduce if u want a bit bland)
1 medium sized Tomato
5-6  cloves of Garlic
1 spoon of Cumin seeds
5-6 Carissa Caranda (Karvanda)
Salt to taste


Method:
For Chutney: Mix everything and grind it into a fine paste. I gave it a desi tadka by grinding it on a traditional Indian Grinding stone ( seel-batta). 
For Wadas:Soak the dal for 3 hours. Mix all the ingredients and grind it in a grinder by adding a little bit of water. U’ll get a fine paste. Chop the Onion and coriander finely and mix everything in a bowl. Make medium or small sized wadas and deep fry them till they are golden brown in colour. Serve it hot with spicy green chutney… A healthy snack for all age groups.Make this while it rains….U’ll love  the special effect!!

Richy rich Halwa

Yummy and sweet wheat flour halwa is very easy to make with very less ingredients. It is loved by people like me who have a sweet tooth..My Kids adore it.........sharing it with all....very simple and a easy make.


Ingredients:
Wheat Flour: 1 small bowl
Sugar           : 1 small bowl
Water           : 1 small bowl
Ghee            : 1 small bowl
Cardamoms  : 2 peeled and crushed
Dry fruits     : Cashew nuts, almonds, raisins according to ur taste

Heat the pan with ghee. Put it on a low flame. Add wheat flour. And keep roasting it. Till it becomes golden brown in colour. Mind it, please don't icrease the flame otherwise the taste will get spoilt. It takes some time but result will be outstanding. Simultaneously  on the other burner, mix water and sugar and heat, till it boils. Once the flour is golden brown add the boiling sugary water to the flour and immediately start mixing vigourously as we do for upma...for otherwise lumps will be formed. Add dryfruits and cardamom powder. Serve Hot.....yummmm  This much is best for 4 people!!
