Ingredients:
1/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 Cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3 Tbsp Custard Powder
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1/4 Tsp Baking Powder
1/4 Tsp Cooking Soda
1/4 Tsp Salt
3/4 Cup Milk
1 Tbsp Instant Coffee Powder
Oil or Butter as required...

Method:
I've used a electric beater to whisk these eggs fluffy. This step is important as the waffles turnout fluffy. Use a balloon whisk or a electric beater.

Separate the egg yolks and whites first.

Add the white to a mixing bowl and whisk to form soft peaks.

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar and add to the egg white gently fold and combine or gently whisk.

Sift the coco powder, custard powder, flour, baking powder and cooking soda reserve.

Add all the dry ingredients to the eggs gently fold and combine.

Add the milk and instant coffee powder whisk and form a batter. Allow the batter to rest for few minutes before preparing the waffles this baking powder and cooking soda will activate and form a fluffy batter.

Pre-heat the waffle maker till the green light turns on. We can apply few drops oil or butter to grease the plates. Prestige waffle maker doesn't require any oil or butter.

I gently whisked the batter once and ladled the batter in the waffle plate allowed it to sit for a minute before closing the lid. Placed the lid and safety lock allowed the waffle to cook until the green light is on.

We can flip the waffle and cook on the other side.  Flipping and recooking the waffle we can achive a crispy texture and fluffy center.

Once the waffles were cooked I trimmed all the edges and generously applied nutella and sandwiched the waffles drizzled chocolate sauce and served it warm...We absolutely enjoyed this treat 😊

Sunday Brunch: Chicken Seekh Roll Recipe

Bangalore's trademark kabab rolls are from fanoos restaurant located next to Johnson Market. Chicken rolls was a popular dish in 90s. After group studies we used to walk down brigade road and head towards johnson market just for these rolls. I wanted to recreate something nostalgic. Back then we did not use mayonnaise in rolls, it was just coriander or mint chutney, occasionally they used to prepare mango based mint chutney.  

Chicken Seekh Roll Recipe 

Ingredients:
300 Grams Chicken Mince / Keema
1/4 Tsp Shahi Jeera / Black Cumin
1/4 Tsp Cumin
1/4 Tsp Turmeric Powder
1 Tbsp Kitchen King Masala
1 Tbsp Coriander Powder
1/4 Tsp Pepper Powder
1/4 Tsp Chaat Masala Powder
1 Tbsp Dried Fenugreek Leaves
4 Black Peppercorns
1 Inch Cinnamon
2 Cloves
1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Mint and Coriander
1/2 Onion Finely Chopped
1/2 Onion Sliced
3 Finely Chopped Green Chilies 
2 Whole Green Chilies
1 1/2 Tbsp Ginger and Garlic Paste
3 Tbsp Oats
Ghee and oil as required 
Salt as per taste.

For Rolls: Kerala Parotta, 2 Sliced Onion, Mint and Coriander Leaves, 2 Tbsp Chaat Masala, Mint Chutney...


Method:
Ready to use chicken mince always contains lot of moisture. Once defrosted drain excess moisture and reserve only the chicken mince in a mixing bowl.

Heat a wok with 1 tsp oil on medium flame. Add the sliced onions, two whole green chilies, shahi jeera, cumin seeds, kitchen king masala, peppercorns, pepper powder, turmeric powder, fenugreek leaves, chaat masala, 2 cloves, coriander powder, 2 tsp mint leaves and coriander leaves fry for few minutes

Add 1 1/2 tbsp ginger and garlic paste fry for a minute and add 1/4 cup water stir well and place on high flame. Once the moisture has evaporated add to a mixer jar and grind to form a smooth paste, we can add 2 tbsp water to grind masala into smooth format.


Marinate the chicken with finely chopped onion, finely chopped chilies, mint, coriander, and ground masala paste, mix well and allow to marinate for 15 minutes on the kitchen counter itself.

Grind the 3 tbsp oats and combine in the chicken, cover and allow to marinate. Just before frying the chicken, add salt as per taste mix well then start forming seekhs.

To form even seekhs wet your hands with water or apply oil. Take lime size portion of chicken, gently roll and form sausages place it on a plate. prepare a bunch of these and reserve.

Heat a wok or pan with 2  tbsp ghee or oil, gently place the prepared seekh and fry on low flame. turn the seekh every two minutes and fry till all sides turn golden brown in color it took me approx 15 minutes to cook the seekh till well done.

In the same pan or wok place the seekh on the side forming a well in the middle. Place the hot coal in the middle cover and allow to smoke. place the flame on lowest setting for 10 minutes. once the chicken seekhs have smoked remove and discard the coal.
Heat a tawa on medium flame. Fry the required amount of layer parottas. For every parotta place four seekhs top with mint chutney and sliced onion, garnish with mint and coriander leaves and chaat masala roll and serve these chicken seekhs as hot as possible...Enjoy 😊

Breakfast Series: Hyacinth Beans/ Avarekalu / Mochakkai Masala Cheese Toast


Hyacinth beans / cowpeas / avarekalu / mochakka / vaal / lima beans...has a very special stance in Bengaluru, why? There are many coined stories around bengaluru associated with the beans. Here's a famous story, we've heard as kids how the name bengaluru existed. 

Story: “Bentha-kaal-uru,” in Kannada language literally translates as “town of  boiled beans.” Legend has it that Veera Ballala II, a famed king of the Hoysala dynasty, went astray during one of his hunting expeditions and stumbled upon a run-down dwelling with an old woman in it. Much to his delight, the woman served him some customary boiled beans. Contented by the offering and the hospitality he received, the Hoysala king named the place “Benda-kaal-uru,” which caught on over time, finally leading up to the name Bengaluru or Bangalore.

According to Hindu customs here in south Hyacinth beans is widely used during festivals many traditional families follow this ritual of  preparing the beans as offering to god. 

From September to march we have a steady supply of fresh hyacinth beans which we process and use it in stir fries and in place of dhal. Many families would also dry the beans and store it in airtight container until use.

Bengaluru  residents enjoy these beans to the fullest and for the past eight years a local condiment store located at VV Puram /food street of Bangalore hosts the largest varieties of Avarekalu dishes at a 10 day dedicated food festival for avarekalu. One can find chinese to baked goodies and even ice creams consisting of hyacinth beans, the protein rich festival is a must visit if your in the city between last week of December till first week January. 

I've always enjoyed the combo of baked beans and bread my thought was to incorporate these beans instead of baked beans inside a toast. We enjoyed the flavors and taste of the beans and sandwich it was a perfect match. Here is a Toast recipe to this city of Boiled Beans aka Bentha-Kalu-Ooru aka Bangalore aka Bengaluru.

Let's Prepare the Filling:
Heat a wok with 2 tsp ghee on medium flame.

Add all the dry spices and fry on low flame setting for few seconds.

Add finely chopped onions, curry leaves, grated ginger and chilies and fry for a minute.

Add the hyacinth beans and 1 1/2 cup water stir well and add salt stir cover and cook on medium flame until mushy.

Once the beans has cook and if there is moisture place on high flame allow the moisture to evaporate.

Remove the cooked beans from flame.



Let's Toast:
Spread the cheese spread on both the slices of bread.

Spread the hyacinth beans masala in a even layer, place a cheese single and other slice of bread.

Prepare a bunch of these sandwiches and reserve before toasting.

Heat a tawa on low flame spread 2 tsp oil and place the prepped sandwich one at a time and fry till golden brown on both sides we can apply extra oil to fry the sandwiches.

Once the sandwiches have fried slice in half and serve with ketchup or mint chutney or mayo...Enjoy 😊 


Tip: We can hull the hyacinth beans and cook it with just salt and freeze it until use.

Hyacinth beans can be used instead of dhal in many recipes.

Hyacinth beans can be used in soups as thickener 

We can avoid cheese spread and cheese in this recipe and use mint chutney instead.

Ragi bread, Multi millet bread and even Methi bread taste excellent in this recipe.

Since the beans masala is not soggy the bread remains crispy we can pack for school, office or picnic lunch. 

The bean masala itself stores well. Place it in a airtight box refrigerated until use...


This recipe serves 2 to 3 adults. Vegans can avoid all milk products and use soya based vegan products.
