Cooking with Shail

Hey guys! The recipe I am posting today is a perfect recipe for the winters. The piping hot fritters/bhajiya are made using fresh fenugreek and onions and the spices used are ground. It is spicy and soft from center and outside. It is not crispy but a soft ball of taste. Have it hot with tea and some garlic chutney. The ingredients used are very simple and the process is so simple. It makes a perfect evening snack. So lets get cooking..

Ingredients:

Fresh methi/fenugreek leaves (washed and roughly chopped) - 2 cups

Onions (finely chopped) - 1/2 cup

Fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped) - 1/4 cup

Black Pepper (semi crushed) - 1 tbsp

Whole Coriander Seeds (semi crushed) - 1 tbsp

Green chilly (finely chopped) - 1 tbsp

Garlic paste - 1 tbsp

Amchur powder - 1 tsp

Soda bi carb - 1/4 tsp

Gram flour/Besan - 1 cup

Rice flour - 2 tbsp

Salt as per taste

Oil for frying

Water for making batter (approx 1 and 1/2 cups)

Method:

1) In a bowl take the fenugreek, onions, coriander leaves, besan, rice flour, black pepper, coriander seeds, green chilly, ginger, garlic and amchur. Mix it all well. Add the water slowly till it forms into a slightly runny batter. Make this batter little runny to get the soft texture of the fritters. Once all is mixed add the soda bi carb.

2) In a pan take the oil and let it become hot. Keep the flame on medium. Now drop the batter in the oil using a spoon. Let it cook till golden brown.
