Kothimbir vadi Kothimbir vadi
#CookClickKothimbir Vadi is a savoury Maharashtrian dish made using coriander leaves and besan. Savoury vadis are a type of fritters, where the mixture is first steamed or cooked and then either shallow fried or deep fried.One more type of famous vadi from this cuisine is the aluvadi, which is made using colocassia leaves and besan. These are first steamed and then shallow fried. Similarly another famous method of preparing kothimbir vadi is to prepare a very thick roll of the ingredients and steam it. It is then cut into slices and shallow fried.The method I have used here for the Kothimbir Vadi is the other one, where the mixture is cooked and set into a tray before being cut into pieces and deep fried! In this method, we get vadis which are crisp from the outside and soft inside. -

Mutton Haleem Mutton Haleem
#Post14 - This is a very popular Hyderabadi dish during the holy month of Ramadan. It can be prepared with either mutton or chicken. But now a days, you come across vegetarian haleem too. Traditionally it is slow cooked for many hours on an open flame. But I tried the simplest method - Pressure cooking method. It is quite a rich dish with loads of dry fruits and ghee, but it is equally nutritious as it contains various types of lentils and oats (traditionally wheat is used). This delicacy is served with a dash of lime, fried onions, chopped coriander-mint leaves and dry fruits. #goldenapron

Fried Rice with Dried Shrimps and Frozen Veggies Fried Rice with Dried Shrimps and Frozen Veggies
Indonesians call dried shrimps "ebi". In my opinion, one of the best ebi here can be found in a city called Medan. Along with teri Medan, ebi Medan is famous for its versatility and umami flavor. I like to soak it a bit in the water, but some prefer to use it as is. Ebi can be used in fried rice, fried noodles, soup, sambal, and a bunch of others.I used black and regular rice for this fried rice (1:5 made in rice cooker) so the steamed rice is purplish in color.
