BeetRoot Fruit and nut
Yepp !!! its weekend again and i decided to do experiments on a vegetable i never touch ...may be even you...guess what ????
Huhh its beetroot. I hate it for its taste but its coloue awsomeee!!! natural coloring agaent mind blowing .
Its really healthy also.Hence didnt want to miss its positives. So i want to use its colour with banana's taste .Hence, have a look at the below recipie ...which steals your look .
Will upload its pic soonn...pls keep following.
Things required:
Beetroot -1
Riped Banana- 1/2
Maida 2 cup
sugar 1/2 cup (according to taste)
salt-1/4 spoon
Baking powder -1/4 teaspoon
elaichi powder -1 spoon
Nuts (1 cup) -Cashew ,Badam,Raisins
butter-1 spoon
Milkmaid (optional,but i used to enhance taste)-2 spoons
Vanilla icecream ( small size) - optional
Preparation :
1.Peel the beetroot,cut into small pieces and boil for 5 - 7 mins
2.Now turn off the stove ,let the beetroot pieces turn cool
3.Finely ground Sugar and elaichi powder to fine powder.
4.Now add the cooled beetroot pieces to the sugar and elaichi mix and grind again
Now this gives result to a pinkish flowing beetroot puree with sweet sugar and elaichi essence.
5.Now take the all purpose flour in to a bowl,add baking powder,salt and mix well
6.now add riped banana crushing it nicely and add butter now to blend well
7.Then add the beetroot and sugar mixture and then the milkmaid
8.Blend the mixture well and now add the nut pieces
9.Now my idea is to steam this mixture,so i used an idli cooker
10.place this mixture with the help of spoon in the idli moulds and close the lid and turn on stove
11.Turn off the stove for just one whistle ( ont keep it for long),it looses taste.
12.Open the cooker and u will get stunned seeing the beetroot fruit and nut in dark pink colour.
13.Now remove it carefully with help of a spoon and u vl wish to touch it again and again
Now u can serve it hot and chill it in freezer and serve it also.
If u hav vanilla ice cream available,try this:
1. Take a nice long glass and put a layer of vanilla using scoop
2.then add our beetroot fruit and nut prepared above as the second layer and then again icecream layer
3.continue like this with a layer of chocolate sauce in between if you are a chocolate lover
4.Finally end with a scoope of vanilla again.
5.leave it for some time and then have it.
Heaven stands in front of you,i bet....

Kotthimeera kabab / Kothmeeri ki wadi ( marathi)
Very delicious, you have to believe.
I was just having lunch asusual with my friends at office located in pune,one of my friend brought this wadi and just shared it to eat
and my god !!!!! irresistible.
I couldnt stop from asking her whats the name of the recipie and asked her to get the procedure to prepare it from her mom.
Moreover my husband is fondd of kothimeer and soo couldnt stop from googling it also.hence got it in a marati web site and prepared it in my style.
hence now its in front of you.
Lets start...
Things required:
1. kotthimeera - 1/2 bunch ( cut in to small pieces)
2. senagapindi-basen - 2 cups
3. Salt - acc to taste
4. Chilli powerder - acc to taste
5. Haldi - 1 spoon
6. Oil (optional) - for deep fry
1. Take a bowl ,put the chopped and washed coriander, mix with all the other ingredients with some water to gain a medium consistency ( not too thin)
2. Now we need to steam this mixture so that it comes into shape of a cake.
I used my idli cooker for that.In place of idli batter i just kept this coriander-besan paste.
Hence in 10 mins i could get my paste in shape of idlis.
3.Then we need to just cut the idli's into desired shape ( vertical stripe cuts give a nice look as in pic)
4.Now heat the oil for deep fry in a pan and deep fry our vertical cuts here.
5.Take them out onto a absorbing kitchen towel or a nice news paper ;) until some oil is absorbed and now serve hot with tomato ketch up
and i bet you will reach heights of happiness.
You can also shallow fry with out oil at cost of 10-15 mins more.In that case ignore Point #4 over here.
Iam happy i could share this recipie.its a different and tastyy snack.
