Cabbage Carrot Pakkodas

Pakkodas or Pakodas are fritters made with different vegetables like Cabbage, Carrots, potato, onion, cauliflower etc or boiled eggs or chicken dipped in a batter and deep fried. Usually Pakkoda batter made with besan/chickpea flour but we can make it more healthier and tastier by using wheat flour, rice flour,oats flour, ragi flour,flax meal etc. In this  recipe I used besan flour and wheat flour.

INGREDIENTS:

Cabbage, thinly chopped or shredded – 1 cup

Carrot, washed, peeled and shredded – 1 cup

Onion, thinly chopped – 1 no, medium sized

Chopped coriander leaves/Cilantro – 3 Tbsp

Green chillies, finely chopped – 3 nos

Ginger – 2” piece ( crushed)

Garlic – 2 Pods (crushed)

Oil for deep frying

INGREDINETS for BATTER

Chickpea Flour/Besan flour – 1/4 cup

Wheat Flour – 1/4 cup

Fennel  powder – 1/4 tsp

Meat masala – 1/2 tsp

Red chilly powder – 1/2 tsp

Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp

Turmeric Powder – 1/8 tsp

Asafoetida – 1/4 tsp

Warm water – 1/4 cup

Salt – to taste

METHOD:

In a medium sized bowl, add shredded cabbage, carrot, onion, chopped green chillies, crushed ginger, garlic, coriander leaves and a pinch of salt. mix everything well with your clean hand. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.

In another medium sized bowl, add all the ingredients for batter and mix everything well.

Now add the cabbage carrot mixture to the prepared batter and mix well. check for the salt. Add enough water to the ingredients.  The consistency of the batter should be thick.

Leave to stand the batter for at least 10 minutes, during this time the mixture will fully absorb the moisture.

Meanwhile, heat oil for frying in a medium sized pan. This temperature should be below smoking point.

Scoop out a spoonful of the thick batter and place it carefully in the oil.

Repeat the same with each spoonful batter, but allow a second or two between each one and place each spoonful of batter 2” apart.

Fry each Pakkoda for about 3 to  4 minutes in medium heat , or until cooked right or bottom side become golden brown, then turn them over carefully to fry on the other side, for another minutes.

Remove well fried pakkodas with slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.

Repeat the process of frying pakkodas with remaining batter and drain each pakoda batches with paper towel.

Serve immediately your delicious, spicy Cabbage Carrot  Pakodas  with salad garnishes, lemon wedges and chutneys or simply enjoy Cabbage Carrot  Pakodas with hot Tea or Coffee.

Strawberry Milk Shake

INGREDIENTS:

• Strawberries, hulled – 2 Cups
• Fat free Milk – 2 Cups
• White Sugar – 3 Tbsp
• Vanilla essence – 2 drop (You can use a pinch of cardamom powder instead of Vanilla essence)

METHOD:

Easy way to cut up strawberries that is also fast:

1. I used to place Strawberries  in a colander and rinse them with cool water.  Then spread the strawberries in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or layers of paper towels and pat them dry.
2. Now start by picking off the green tops from every strawberry. Just try to get most of it off.
3. Cut the tops off the strawberries with a knife. Don't cut the nice red part, just cut the raw, green or white part off. (To make juice or milkshake or smoothies, it is not necessary to cut the strawberries)
4. Slice each of them lengthwise to get  2 equal parts.
5. To easily cut strawberries,  turn each strawberry upside-down onto the freshly cut top. Now, cut right down the middle. Turn the strawberry around and cut down the middle again to make quartered strawberries. Repeat for each berry.

• In a blender combine strawberries, milk, and sugar. Blend until smooth.
• Pour the milkshake out into the chilled glasses and garnish with strawberries. Slurp immediately!
