AirFried Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos

Hello foodies! Hope all is well in your world. Holy month of Shravan is here. Vegetarian Airfried appetizers are quite common these days in my kitchen. If cheese is your favorite, you will love these AirFried Cheesy Jalapenos.

Ingredients:

Jalapeno Peppers - 4

Spring /Green Onions - 2 sprigs

Cream Cheese - 2 tbsp

Mexican 4 Cheese - 2 tbsp

Paprika - 1/2 tsp

Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 tsp

Garlic Powder - 1/4 tsp

Salt

Cooking Spray or Oil

How to AirFry Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos:

Wash and dry the jalapeno peppers. Cut jalapenos in halves. Discard all seeds. Sprinkle little salt, mix and set it aside for 2 hours or overnight in a refrigerator. Salt softens the jalapenos and reduces the spiciness/heat of the peppers. You can skip this step.
Finely chop green onions, both white and green parts.

For stuffing, in a mixing bowl add chopped green onions, cream cheese, Mexican 4 cheese, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder and salt. While adding salt, keep in mind that all cheeses have salt.
Grease Airfryer tray with cooking spray or oil.
After 2 hours or more, jalapenos will become watery because of salt. Discard the salt water. Stuff jalapeno halves with cheese stuffing and place them on the greased Airfryer tray.

Airfry Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos at 370 degrees F for 4 minutes. Cook for another 2 minutes at 400 degrees F. Cook more or less depending on how soft you want the jalapenos to be.

Enjoy Cheesy Jalapenos as is or with any dip you like. Until next time, stay safe.

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.
