Corn cheese patties

A receipe post has been more than overdue and i am giving a convenient excuse of the monsoon not allowing me to purchase varied ingredients and also dampening my spirits to experiment too much in the kitchen.

 This receipe is an inspiration from a similar receipe on tarladalal.com.

 Corn cheese patties (makes 10 +):

 Ingredients:
Corn 200 gms (boiled)
Potato boiled 1 (optional)
1/2 Capsicum - chopped finely
1 tsp Green chillies - paste / chopped finely
1 tsp Cumin powder (jeera powder) - optional
1/2 Lime juice
handful of corriander (dhania) leaves (optional)
Salt to taste - i guess i overdid it this time :-(
Rice flour 1 1/2 cup (or as required)
Cheese (in cube / tube)
4 to 5 tbsp oil for shallow frying

 Method:

 Coarsely grind the boiled corn such that some corn kernels can still be seen. In a mixing bowl, add the ground corn, mashed boiled potato, chopped capsicum, chopped green chillies, cumin powder, lime juice and salt.

 Then gradually add the rice flour so that a dough is formed. There is absolutely no need to add any water.

Chop some cheese cube slices - i have tried to cut down on the cheese consumption by chopping one cube into about 12 slices - neat, eh ? You may want to cut squares or rather use cheese from a tube (currently very popular in our house).


Take about 3 tsp oil in a small bowl and keep it handy to grease your palm for making the patties. Make equal rounds of the corn mixture. 


Take some corn mixture at a time and shape it in whatever shape you would like the patty. Next, put one cheese slice and then fold the mixture around it to encase the slice.





Shallow fry these patties. Please note that you may prefer to deep fry them too - and it will not need any further ado in terms of a cornflour batter etc. Since there is rice flour in it, the deep fried version will turn out crispy too.






Serve along with some corriander (dhania) and mint (pudina) chutney for a delicious evening snack or use this receipe as a kids tiffin idea.

Write in with your suggestions and comments, i eagerly look forward to your feedback. Do keep visiting receipesnmore.blogspot.in for receipes and more...........

Part IV - Bhutan - rightly called the last Shangri La

Concluding Post on Bhutan Day 6 and 7 June 10th and 11th, 2013: Tiger's Nest - Paro - Haa Valley - Thimpu Ugyen Phendyling Resort begins it's restaurant at 5 a.m. in the morning - so those wanting to trek up to the Tiger's Nest Monastery can catch breakfast early. We, however, decided that filling our tummy might make the trek difficult. So we had a cup of tea and some cracker biscuits and left at 6.45 a.m. for the base of the trek. I regretted this decision after an hour :( We had packed some biscuits and some canned juice which we had later. We reached in 15 minutes and then had to wait for another 45 minutes because w e wanted to hire a pony for our daughter - and there was a lot of discussion amongst the guys hiring out horses / ponies about who we should hire from and how much money we should be charged. Our cab driver had given us an idea and we paid Rs.600 (this was the rate we saw others paying too). There was also the question of a caretaker along wit

Sponge Gourd/ Turai/ Ghosavli - Sweet and Sour Curry Receipe

Image
Sponge Gourd or the hindi name for it Turai / marathi being Ghosa(v)li is not the number 1 favourite vegetable on anybody's list of favourite foods. Personally speaking it is a love hate relation with this veggie - if it's made horribly it cannot be ingested but if the curry is yummy, it's falling in love again. It is always my attempt to make something fresh and delicious out of this gourd. There is ofcourse, the tempting fried version called "bhajiya's" (aka tempura style) - dipped in gram flour and spices and then deep fried until golden. But this curry is a healthier take on this humble vegetable - sure to make you want to eat some more... Ingredients for sweet and sour sponge gourd (turai/ ghosali) curry: 1/4 kg. Sponge Gourd /Turai / Ghosali 50 gms. Cottage Cheese / Paneer (optional) (substitute for paneer is a handful of roasted and coarsely ground peanuts - i like paneer any time) 1 medium onion 2 small pieces of kokum  (or 1

...this time in Goa...

Mario Miranda inspired wall tiles at Infantaria, Goa We had a beach trip planned for quite some time and what better place than Goa, eh ? Goa gets quite hot and humid right from February. It's officially summer from April since hotels reduce their tariffs. But we discovered that summers in Goa can be good fun too - provided you have air conditioned (ac) accommodation, you venture on the beach in the early morning or late evening and you go to market places after 5.30 p.m. While at the beach, the sea breeze keeps the weather pleasant. The Beach We wanted to check out South Goa this time so we booked at Cafe Del Mar at Palolem Beach - they have ac huts by the beach. The huts were basic, had all necessities like running water, hot/ cold shower, european toilet, mosquito netting for the bed, a tv, a cupboard, etc. A mini veranda with 2 chairs and a stump of a stool along with a cosy hammock surely added to the appeal. (as a traveller i am fussy 5 out of 10 times ; but if
