Chicken Ghee Roast

-
I had no idea how good this item was. We had first tasted this in a restaurant at Bangalore called Coast to Coast and we became a huge fan of it. We always wanted to eat more and more even though we were full. When I got married and moved to Singapore i felt bad as I was not able to have any more ghee roasts. So my husband bought some ghee roast ready made masala from a shop in mangalore. I prepared it once but was not satisfied. Therefore, I collected the ingredients information from the wrapper and some ingredients that my mom had suggested and few extra of my own. Finally after several tries now my husband has become a huge fan of my ghee roast and says that it is better than the restaurants one. My next goal is to make everybody eat this and allow them to decide if it is really that great !!. You try it and let me know :)

 NOTE : One can also try this with vegetables like baby corn,  baby potatoes. mushroom and any other vegetables of your wish instead of chicken. Gives you almost the same taste.
NOTE : Number of chilies depend on how spicy they are. I am using 12 as mine are not very spicy

Phenori / Sweet Satta

-
Image
Phenori also called as Sweet Satta is a sweet dish prepared during special occasions specially during Diwali. My mom always used to  prepare it during Diwali and we kids used to finish all within a week. Personally, I am not a sweet lover but I can't stop eating Phenori. They are so yum, crispy and tasty. The procedure to prepare it looks difficult but is really not so. Try preparing little at first so that you get an idea how it tastes or how much difficult it is. NOTE :  Sugar Syrup can be used instead of Sugar powder. Phenori should be fried properly else they will become soft. You can sprinkle chiroti rawa  or rice flour to make them crispy. Roll from center to the side. All the layers should be clearly visible. And avoid the centre from getting thin. The number of layers can be 3,5 or 7. The oil/ghee to fry should be medium hot and not too hot. Preparation Time : 30 Minutes Cooking Time : 5 Minutes Total Taken : 35 Minutes Ingredients: Ma

As kids, we used to wait to go from Mysore to Bangalore on train only for the sake of this Maddur Vada. It is very simple to prepare with basic ingredients available at home and also very tasty. NOTE :  Can add 1/2 Cup Fine Semolina / Chiroti Rava / Suji if needed. Can add 2 tbsp Jeera if needed. A pinch of hing is optional.
