Corn (sweet corn)Dhokla

When I was watching a cooking show on TV I saw a similar kind of recipe...They haven't show how to prepare,but ingredients was shown.So I felt this is one interesting recipe which we can also prepare for the kids.In the place of normal Dhokla if you try this,,,every one will feel different and yummy....so this is my try to make a different recipe..for kids as well as adults...




Ingredient:
sweet corn 2cup( i have used frozen)
Rice flour 1/2 cup(use more 1/4 if required)
Yogurt(curd) 1/2 cup
fresh ginger 1 inch finely chopped
fresh coriander finely chopped 3TBSP
fruit salt or baking soda(i have used baking soda)
lemon juice 1TBSP
salt to taste
green chilly finely chopped 2(or as per spice)
cooking oil 3-4TBSP


(In the ingredients I have shown sugar powder in a spoon,which I have not mention in the recipe,,because I used the sugar powder but as sweet corn only is having good sweet taste i don't suggest all of you to use the sugar)
Preparation:
Roughly blend the corn(don't make smooth paste).In mixing bowl add this corn,curd and all other ingredients(except oil) ,mix everything well and make a thick batter..

apply 1/2 tsp oil on the bottom of the pan and pour the batter, level it and keep covered for 1/2 hour.



Now keep the pan in steamer and steam it for 15-20 mins(can also cook in pressure cooker with out Waiter).Once done take out the pan and keep aside to cool down for 15min then cut in any shape you like,as the dhokla's will be square i have used the same shape.
Heat tava(used to make pancake) sprinkle 1tsp of oil now keep the steamed dhokla one by one,cook both side till the brown spots appears(press them in between so that it should cook inside properly).The yummy Dhokla is ready to serve..



Serve hot with tomato sauce..I am sure ,Kids will love this in any time...



If you are preparing for kids don't use green chilly,use crushed or powdered black pepper 1/2 tsp.

Akki Kare(Rice with cucumber savory)

Tulasi Pooja is coming...I thought of doing some savory this time...Anyways sweet will be prepared on the day of pooja..So here is my rice savory recipe..which is purely learned by mom and preparing it for the for the first time..I hope all will like it...My family liked it very much.



Ingredients:
Rice 2 cup
White cucumber 1 grated
salt 1/2tsp
Oil for deep frying
water




Soak the rice in water 1-2hours. Drains out the water from the rice and transfer to a blender.half blend it,now skins of the cucumber and also remove the seeds and make small small pieces add in the blender.Blend them together and make smooth batter(cucumber itself is having more water so add water only if needed),pour the batter in to a heavy bottom pan,add salt,stir and keep it on the gas stove.

Turn on the heat(medium flame),keep on stir the batter nicely until this become like dough(it will absorb the water contents and will become dry)then turn of the heat and let it become cool.

Once it is cool ,apply oil(cooking oil or coconut oil)on your palm and knead it to make soft dough.




Make big big balls and fill in the savoury press(use the same chakkuli press and use the plate shown below).



Heat oil in frying pan.Either you can press the dough directly in to the oil(once the oil id hot) or press it in a plate and then transfer carefully in to the frying pan(in to hot oil).But while doing like this you should be very very care full,otherwise you will end with burning your hands. So be care full whichever method you use.




Then cook it both the side till it turns to light brown(it will take some 5-10 to cook properly).once done, take out from oil and keep on kitchen tissue.....







Once the oil has been absorbed, break them and serve with a cup of tea...



once it is cool store in air tight container.Can be kept more then a month...
