Prawns Puff
When I was india I had
done lot of R&d to prepare the Puff. I tried it couple of times but it
didnt become fluffy. It was very messy too. So for a while I thought lets try
to use the readily available Puff Pastry Sheets out here in the market. The
outcome was amazing. But I would be happy the day I get this outcome when i can
make those sheets too :)
Ingredients
1 Cup Prawns
1 Tomato
2 Onions
4 Garlic Cloves
1 Spoon Corriander
Powder
1 Spoon Red Chilli
Powder
1/4 Spoon Garam Masala
1/4 Spoon Jeera Powder
1/2 Spoon Black Pepper
Powder
A pinch of turmeric
powder
1 Egg
Salt to taste
Oil
Method
- Take out the pastry sheets from the fridge and keep
them aside to thaw.
- In the mean time, heat the oil and add finely chopped
onion to it. Cook till onion is translucent
- Add finely chopped tomato in it and cook till tomato is
almost done.
- Add prawns and garlic to it and cook for couple of
minutes.
- Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala,
jeera powder, black pepper powder and salt to taste. Cook till oil
seprates out.
- Add corriander powder to it and again cook for a minute
or two. Keep aside
- Pre-heat the oven to 400F
- Grease the baking tray.
- Cut each baking sheet into 3 vertical and 2 horizonal
pieces to give you 6*2 = 12 pieces. On each piece of the sheet add in the
prawns mixure and fold it and keep it on the baking tray.
- Beat the egg, dip a tissue in it and spread the egg
over the puffs
- Bake in oven at 400F/200C for 15 minutes and your puffs
should be ready to serve.
Notes
I used medium sized prawns so that I dont need to cut them and neither are they
too small to recognise and loose their taste in the masala.
Also I used the egg to get the golden brown effect of the puff as mentioned on
the puff pastry sheet box.
Melon Lassi
Couple of weeks back I tried this unique experiment. I had one old melon sitting in the fridge so was curd, so thats what lead to this recipe.
Ingredients
1 Melon
6 Cup Curd
5 Spoon Sugar
A pinch of Vanilla Essence
Salt to taste
Method
- Chop the complete melon into small piece
- Keep aside few pieces for garnishing and grind rest of them in the mixie to make the juice.
- Strain the juice and add it to curd.
- Add sugar, salt, vanilla essence and again mix in the mixie
- Garnish with the melon pieces and serve chilled.
Notes
I used sweet thick curd, and didnt need to add any water because the melon juice was enough to lighten the curd to Lassi
