Then add soya sause, salt and black pepper, and roast them until the stalks turns half tender and also till the sause glazes the greens.

STEAMED VEG MOMOS

Veg or Non veg, my family loves Momoes💓 First time try ed at home and it was a superhit. Well I am not good at shaping them but seems to be OkToky 😛 My little one too helped me and yaa shez my helping hand of course👧 The stuffing I used is the veggies sauteed in ginger, garlic and soya sause which is stuffed in the thin dough and then steamed. Stuffing can be of any your fav choice. Non veg lovers can use minced chicken instead of veggies. These dumplings are super delicious and filling. I like them to have with schezwan sause 😋

NOTE: For the healthier version, instead of maida, wheat flour can be used ;) The texture might be little bit hard but the flavour tastes equally good.

INGREDIENTS FOR DOUGH
1 cup Maida
1/2 tsp Salt
Water for kneading
Oil for grease

INGREDIENTS FOR STUFFING
 2 Cups Grated veggies (cabbage, carrots and beans)
1 tbsp Spring Onion
1 tsp Grated Ginger & Garlic each
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp Oil

METHOD.
Prepare the momos dough just like we make it for chappaties. Grease and keep it aside covered.
Take grated veggies cum spring onions in a bowl. Heat oil in a pan and add grated ginger and garlic. Now add veggies and soya sause. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the veggies on high flame just for a min and remove. Now the fun part comes. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts. Dust some maida and start roll using rolling pin into a thin big circle uniformly.Make small rounded puris by cutting it using round shaped small lid. Now take a sheet, stuff the filling and start pleating the edges slowly and gather everything and seal it. For more shapes you can view youtube :)

Heat a steamer and arrange momos on the plate. Steam for 15 min under low flame. Serve hot with your fav dip.

JACK FRUIT MANCHURIAN

Gobi Manchurian is always loved by kids and adults. Its a great demand. This time I tried Manchurian from Jack fruit which was just up to the mark :) I tried this when there was a grand feast of the main ingredient Jack fruit at Mangalore. Tasted so many varieties out of which I found this is something more interesting and unique. Its a dry version and makes for a good starters or snacks. I adopted the same method just the way I prepare gobi manchurian. The only thing I did was I steamed the pieces for 5 to 8 min in steamer then followed  rest of the steps same for marination and method. Make sure the pieces of jack fruit is tender.

For the recipe please refer my Gobi Manchurian post here

SHRIMPS IN APPLE GRAVY

One of the most popular ingredients under seafood dishes are shrimps and prawns that are enjoyed in many countries of the world. I love shrimps under different kinds of cuisine. Once we have been visited to Chinese hotel where we had shrimps cooked in pineapple gravy. It was a bit sweet and spicy too. One day I thought of preparing the same recipe with apple instead of pineapple. I am sure whoever like the taste of sour and sweet along with mild spiciness in recipe would love this.

INGREDIENTS.

10 Medium Size Shrimps

1 Apple.

1 Diced red onion.

1 tsp Tomato ketchup.

1 tsp Chilli sause.(optional)

1 tbsp Soya sause.

1 tbsp Lime juice.

1 Green chilly.

3 tsp Chopped ginger.

1 tsp Chopped garlic.

1 tsp oil.

Salt and papper to taste.

Chopped scallions for garnish.

METHOD.

Marinate shrimps and diced apple with salt and lime juice for 15 to 20 min. Apple can be diced along with skin, but here I have removed the apples skin and cut in to small pieces. Meanwhile in a pan heat oil and add ginger and garlic. Fry them till the raw smell is off. Later add diced onions and fry them half cooked. Add chopped chilies, soya sauce and tomato ketchup in the mix and stir it for a while. Finally add the marinated apple and shrimp mixture with half cup of water. Add salt and pepper according to taste. Close the lid and cook for 10 min. Garnish with chopped scallions.

Serve hot with 2 min maggi noodles. Njoy friends.
