Potato Tornado

Hello, my Foodie Fellas.......hope you all are doing fine and not getting frustrated due to the COVID situation. We all need to stay positive and enthusiastic to overcome the current situation. I know it's very easy for somebody to sermonize things but very difficult to follow. But believe me, if you get yourself involve in something then you'll be much more relaxed. It can be anything starting from doodling, painting, cooking, reading, singing, dancing and the list goes on......These are the things which we have kept aside and became busy in our day-to-day activities. So, take out some time and rejuvenate yourself.

We as adults are not only the ones you are going through all this but our kids are also under the same umbrella. They too are at home all the time. It's a very usual thing that they can get frustrated reason being staying at home for the last 3-4 months. 

One thing that can keep them happy in this situation is good food. Treat them with their favorite dishes every now and then to keep them happy and motivated. Today's recipe is Potato Tornado or Spiral Potato French Fries and we will be making them without a machine. This can serve as a great tea-time snack and will make your kid happy whenever they're a little demotivated. So, let's begin with the recipe:

Potato Balls/ Potato Lollipops

As we have started a new series where I'm posting the replicas of our favorite food items which we get in our favorite restaurants like McDonald's, Dominos, Pizza Hut etc. I have already shared some recipes like:

• Chicken Nuggets
• Egg Tawa Burger
• Pizza McPuff
• Veg Pizza

You can click the links to read more about the recipes. Today's recipe is a variation of Chicken Balls. I have tried to make it vegetarian by using Potatoes. Therefore today's recipe is Potato Balls. This is a very healthy recipe as you can add or subtract any veggies as per your or your kid's liking. You can also add cheese to make it more appealing to your naughty toddlers.

So, without any further ado, let's begin with the recipe:

No Cheese, No Yeast, No Oven Veg Pizza

Hello, my Foodie friends........As you know I have started a new series where I'm sharing some fast food recipes which are available at our favorite food joints or restaurants like McDonald's, KFC, Domino's, etc. I have already shared some recipes like:

• Chicken Nuggets
• Egg Tawa Burger
• Pizza McPuff

Today in this blog post, I'm sharing the recipe for Pizza. I have made this Pizza during the lockdown period in India when we were having very limited resources available with us moreover, most of the items weren’t even available be it online or offline. I wanted to document this recipe because it is one of those exotic dishes which needs so many things like cheese, yeast, and oven which are not necessarily available in every household always.

I have made this Pizza without cheese, without yeast, on the gas stove, and using veggies that were available with me. I should say my 3-year-old son inspired me to make this recipe. Actually, he was missing Domino's too much and was craving for Pizza since long. I made this one especially for him and that smile on his face was so satisfying.

Do give this recipe a try and trust me you won't regret eating this one. This Pizza tastes as amazing as the one made with all the ingredients. So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:

Samosa

Hello, my foodie friends....... I hope you all are doing good and following the lockdown guidelines. These days we all are staying home and experimenting with the food which we used to relish outside or the famous street-side delicacies. My all social media handles are filled with the posts of Pani-puri, Jalebi, Rasgulla, Dhokla, Samosa, and whatnot. 

We all love Samosas, isn't it but amid this lockdown neither we can go out nor we can enjoy the outside food. However, this lockdown cannot stop us from enjoying and relishing something homemade. Anything homemade is always better than store-bought or having them at street-side stalls or restaurants. Making Samosa is quite tricky. It involves 3 main steps:

• Kneading the dough
• Preparing the filling
• Making the Samosas
• Frying the Samosas

I have made Samosa a number of times with different kinds of fillings like potato, cauliflower, chicken, paneer, etc. But perfected this recipe after many years. Making Samosas requires a lot of patience because kneading the dough requires lot of muscle strength and then frying the samosas requires a lot of time.

This Samosa recipe is just perfect to enjoy with your evening cup of tea. I have shared some important tips and tricks to make the Perfect Samosas. So, stay home and enjoy these Samosas with your family. Let's begin with the recipe:

Potato Cheese Nuggets

             

Hello Friends..... I hope you all are doing fine and enjoying the last few days of the winter season. How was your winter season this year? I relished it completely and indulged myself and in some of the winter delicacies like

• Koraisutir Kochuri/ Peas Kachori
• Dum Aloo

You can find all these yumilicious and lip-smacking delicacies on my blog just click the links and enjoy. 

Today's post is about Potato Nuggets. We all love nuggets, isn't it? Whether you're an adult or a kid we can resist ourselves from having those cheesy and gooey nuggets. Whenever we urge to have nuggets we either go to any restaurant or get some store-bought nuggets. HOW ABOUT MAKING POTATO CHEESE NUGGETS AT HOME? I have already shared the recipe of Chicken Nuggets earlier. You can check it out here (click here).

Making Potato Cheese Nuggets is very easy and hassle-free. You can even make and freeze them in batches and use them as and when needed. They also serve as an excellent appetizer if you have some unplanned guests coming your way or you have any party at home.

So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:

Panner Poppers

              

Paneer is such a versatile ingredient that whatever you make out of it, it will make you lick your fingers. Whether you make appetizer, main course or dessert out of Paneer it fits in each course so well. 

Today I'm going to make an appetizer from Paneer and i.e. Paneer Poppers. They serve as a great snack or appetizer. It's a complete party pleaser and can be enjoyed in any party, picnic or even in any grand occasion. 

Paneer poppers are everyone's favorite. You can add lot of veggies to make it healthy. There can be many variations to these paneer balls like cheese paneer balls, veggie paneer balls and the list goes on.

You can serve these Paneer Poppers to kids if you want to add veggies to their diet. I'm sure they will thoroughly enjoy them. 

Crispy Onion Rings

            

Onion Rings is a very easy snack item and it is great for any occasion. You can enjoy them with all your friends and family members. Kids love them too. 

Perfect onion rings should be super crispy, have some spice and heat to it. You can adjust the spice level and heat according to your liking.

These onion rings are made with very basic ingredients and you can easily make them at home within a very short span of time. These onion rings are even better than any restaurant because most of the restaurants use frozen onion rings. 

Give them a try and let us know your feedback.
