Spicy crisp Chicken puffs with mixed vegetables.

Ingredients:
Pastry Sheet - 1
Chicken - about 1 cup
Onion - 1 medium
Mixed Veggies - about 1 cup
Coriander/Cilantro Leaves - few sprigs
Lime/Lemon Juice - 2 tbsp
Garlic - 4 big cloves
Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
Cumin Powder - 1 tsp
Kabab Masala or any spice mix - 1/2 tsp
Cayenne Pepper/Red Chili Powder - 1/2 tsp
Green Chili Paste - 1/2 tsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Salt
 Oil

How to bake Chicken and Veggie Puffs:
  • Thaw the pastry sheet as per instructions or for about 45 minutes.
  • Dice chicken into bite size pieces. In a mixing bowl, add lemon juice, coriander powder, cumin powder, kabab masala, cayenne pepper and little salt. Mix all the ingredients well and add diced chicken. Let the chicken marinate for about 2 hours or more.
  • Preheat the oven at 375 degrees F. Bake the marinated chicken for 7 - 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 7 - 8 minutes or till chicken is cooked. Alternatively, you can cook chicken in a pan on a stove top as well. After the cooked chicken cools, dice it into smaller pieces.
  • Finely chop onions, peeled garlic and coriander leaves. Finely chop the veggies of your choice - cabbage, green beans, capsicum/bell peppers and carrots. You can add green peas, lima beans as well.
  • Heat about 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add onions, garlic, black pepper powder and salt. Sauté till onions turn soft. Now add onions and saute at low flame till veggies are cooked. Turn off the heat when the veggie stuffing turns dry. Add cooked chicken and cilantro. Mix all the ingredients well and let the stuffing cool.
  • Cut the pastry sheet into 6 equal parts or as you desire. Place the stuffing on all the 6 parts in the center and seal the edges with few drops of milk or water. Brush the top of the stuffed pastries with egg wash or milk.
  • Preheat the oven at 400 degrees F. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or oil. Place the stuffed pastries on the baking dish and bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Enjoy crisp Chicken Puffs with ketchup.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
