India is well known for it's chaat items. The taste of chaat items varies among different states. Sev puri is famous in the streets of Mumbai. My favourite chaat item which can be easily prepared at home and is a very healthy dish. Everybody loves this and can be served as a appetizer, evening snack or as a substitute for meal.

  • The 2 types of chutney prepared can be stored in an air tight container in a refrigerator and can be used for other purposes also.
  • You can use pani puri's puri,sev puri's puri or even papdi.
  • The garnishing can be adjusted as per the taste.
  • Chaat Masala is used for better taste.

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.
