Air Fried Toasted Ravioli

Hey everyone! How is winter treating you guys? Snow in Texas is long gone. We are blessed with lovely weather these days.

As you all know, I have a picky 10 year old who still eats mess free finger food. Today's Toasted Ravioli is another favorite item added to my kid's lunch box menu. Such semi homemade delicacies are a life saver for me. Feel free to share your time saving recipes.

Ingredients:

Frozen Ravioli - 10

Corn Meal - 1 cup

Spanish Paprika - 1 tsp

Garlic Herb Seasoning - 1 tsp

Egg Beaten - 1

Cooking Spray or Oil

How to cook Crispy Toasted Ravioli in an Air Fryer:

Grease the air fryer tray with cooking spray or oil.
In a bowl, beat an egg with a pinch of salt.
In a big plate, add corn meal, garlic herb seasoning and paprika. Mix well. Feel free to use any seasonings of your choice.
Add one frozen ravioli in the egg wash. Coat it well and then add it to the corn meal plate. I use a pair of forks to coat the ravioli with the corn meal crust.
Repeat the same for each frozen ravioli and start arranging them on the greased tray. Spray some more cooking spray or oil.

Cook the corn meal crusted ravioli in an air fryer for 3 - 4 minutes. Flip the ravioli and spray more cooking spray if you like. Cook the other side for another 2 - 3 minutes. I cooked the ravioli at 400 degrees F. Cooking times may vary based on the kind of ravioli you use. I used cheese ravioli.

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.
