    Street Style Spicy Corn Recipe - Step by step pictures  

    For this spicy corn recipe you'll approximately need 1/2 cup of cooked corn kernels. You can either boil your corn in pressure cooker or cook it in microwave. I have cooked the corn in microwave, on it's high power for 3-4 minutes. If you're cooking corn in pressure cooker, cut it into half and cook it for 2-3 whistles in medium flame. You can even cook the corn kernels without cob in a sauce pan with some water.


    After cooking, remove the corn kernels from corn cob. I am doing it with my hands, you can also run a knife near the cob to remove off the corn kernels. Take corn kernels in a bowl and add 3/4 tbsp. of softened butter.


     Now start adding all the spices starting with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder and 1/2 teaspoon of chaat masala.


    Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice for that tangy flavor and add some finely chopped coriander leaves. 


    Now gently mix all the ingredients with a spoon. Always make sure whether the butter is mixed properly or not. Serve this spicy corn with a wedge of lemon.

         A cutlet or tikki is a healthy appetizer generally made with any kind of minced vegetable or meat combinations with some added spices and can be enjoyed with any dip of choice.

        In a tikki, since everything is minced, you have the flexibility to add whatever vegetable you like, to make it more healthy as well as interesting. Here in Chana Dal tikkis I have used some boiled Chana dal and potatoes. Chana dal is a very good source of protein as we all know, and if you want to add any other veggies you can add it.

    CHANA DAL TIKKIS - Step by Step pictures

    Take 3/4 cup of Chana dal in a bowl and add 1 cup of water. Let the Chana dal soak in water for 1 hour, since we are gonna cook it. This step is totally optional, You can even cook the dal without soaking but it'll take some more time to cook.


    After 1 hour drain the water completely with a strainer and add the dal in a pressure cooker. Add 1 cup of water and cook the dal in medium flame for 2 to 3 whistles. After cooking, let it cooldown completely.


    Now add the cooked dal in a mixer jar and grind it by adding some water. Don't use too much of water here, use 1 or 2 tablespoons. You can grind it in a way you like your patties to be, either finely or coarsely.


    After grinding, transfer the paste into a bowl and add 2 boiled potatoes. Mash the potatoes well with a spatula and add in some salt, 1 tsp of red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder and 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala. Add 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs, to make it easier for making patties. You can even add some more bread crumbs if needed.


    Combine everything together well  with your hands to make it as a smooth dough. All the spices should be mixed up evenly with potatoes and dal.



    Now take small portions of dough and start shaping patties. Grease a hot tawa with some oil and place the shaped patties on tawa. Add some more oil for patties to cook them evenly. Shallow frying makes the patties healthier to eat, but if you want to deep fry them you can always do it.


    Cook the patties on both sides till they turn nice golden brown color. Turn them gently using two small spoons or spatulas. Serve them hot with any dip of your choice.

    Mango kulfi - Step by step pictures

    Clean a medium-sized ripe mango and with a peeler remove off the peel completely. With a sharp knife, chop the mango into cubes and take them in a blender jar.



    Now take 1 cup of full-fat milk in a saucepan. Continuously stir it on a slow flame until the milk reduces into half. Let the reduced milk cool down completely before adding it with mangoes. And here I would like to give you a simple tip if you want to make this recipe even easier without cooking, you can add in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of full fat cream instead of reduced milk.


    Now for sweetness add in some condensed milk. Here you can't replace this with any other sweetener since this is gonna impart a sweet milky flavor in your kulfis. Add it as much as you want, depends upon the mango used and blend everything together into a fine puree.


    You can choose your favorite nuts, chop them finely and add them in your kulfi molds. After adding nuts, add the blended kulfi mixture.


    Sprinkle some more chopped nuts on top and put on their lids. Place them in the freezer for 12 hours or until they're completely frozen.
