A spicy version of sweet and sour vegetables.
Cooking Time : 10 min.
Prepration Time : 10 min.
Serves 4.
Ingredients
10 cauliflower pieces cut in thumb size
1 capsicum, sliced or squared
10 baby corn (parboiled)
1 medium size carrot sliced thumb size (parboiled)
10 french beans (parboiled), sliced and cut thumb size
a pinch Ajinomoto powder
3 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
1/2 tsp hing
2 teaspoons finely chopped green chillies
1 teacup tomato puree
2 teaspoons cornflour
half glass water
2 tablespoons oil
salt to taste
Method
1. Parboil the vegetables and you can use the remaining stock as plain clear soup added with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan on a high flame. Add the ginger, hing and green chillies and stir fry over a high flame for a few seconds.
3. Add the vegetables (stock/remaining water removed) and Ajinomoto and cook for a few minutes.
3. Add the tomato puree.
4. Mix the cornflour in 1/2 cup of water and add to the vegetables.
5. Add the salt and cook for a few minutes. If you like, add a pinch of sugar.
6. Serve hot with steamed rice or just as dish on its own to our dear Lord Krsna and enjoy the prasadam.
Ingredients:
1cupsesam seeds (white)
2 tbl spn roasted, peeled and halved peanuts (ground nuts)
1/2 cup jaggery
1/2 tea spn cardamom powder
Ghee
Method:
Wash the sesame seeds in water. Drain the water and spread the seeds on a clean kitchen towel for about 15-20mins(they need not dry completely). Roast them on a medium flame till they start popping and nice aroma comes out of them. Take them off heat.
Heat jaggery with 2 tbl spn water. Traditionally it is made with molasses(the black colored liquid jaggery, do not add water if you are using molasses).
Keep the heat on medium, because jaggery gets burnt very easily.
Take little water in a plate and add a drop of the jaggery in it. The jaggery should sit like a drop without getting diluted. That shows it has reached the required consistency.
Now add the sesame seeds and peanuts. Mix well. Take off the heat, add the cardamom powder. Mix again.
Take a big spoonful of the mixture on a clean plate (this is to help in easy cooling) & keep the remaining tightly closed(this mixture gets hard very soon, so need to keep it covered all the time).
Apply some ghee to your palms and make small balls of the mixture from the plate.
PS: Once the mixture is cooled, you cannot make the laddoos, so you need to work fast when it is still hot. Be careful not to burn your hands (the mixture at this stage is really really hot). Taking small portions on a plate helps to manage small portions at a time.
If the mixture cools off fast, then, heat it again for sometime till it melts and repeat the procedure.
If you cannot manage to make the laddoosdue to lack of time or patience, just spread the mixture on a plate greased with ghee, then cut them into desired shapes.
happy makar sankranti to all!
