Beans Paruppu Usili – one of my favorite ways to enjoy French Beans.

Beans Paruppu Usili recipe was shared with my by one of my subscriber and I was so glad I tried it. Watch the full video of this recipe below.

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

I am so thankful to Vinaya for sharing this recipe with me and all of us. Her explanation is so clear and helpful. Let me tell you this, Im not very well versed with cooking traditional South Indian recipes but thanks to Vinaya, I was able to enjoy Beans Paruppu Usili at home.

Vinaya also shared a Peanut Mysore Pak recipe and again, thanks to her I was able to make this legendary dessert at home. That recipe is also included in the video above. Or you can read it below.

Ingredients

Gram Flour – 1cup

Peanuts – 1cup

Coconut – 1cup

Sugar – 2cups

Water – 1 1/4cups

Ghee – 2cups

Steps to make the recipe:

1. Roast and grind the peanuts (grind in whipper mode or else it might release oil).

2. Grind the coconuts into fine grainy powder.

3. Sieve besan powder to avoid lumps while cooking in ghee.

4. Pour water and add sugar for melting. Wait for one string consistency and then add the besan powder.Mix everything well.

5. Add the peanut powder and shredded coconut and mix up everything well. Keep 2 cups (as mentioned in the ingredients section) of ghee and keep pouring the ghee into the mixture until it becomes thick

6. Make pieces when the mysore pak is little warm, or else it will be difficult to cut it .

I was able to meet Vinaya and try these recipes thanks to #YourSecretRecipe which is a section on my Youtube where I share my subscribers’ recipes. You can check out more of these below:

Street Food Recipes – Dabeli, Chowmein and more

FOOD Recipes

September 14, 2020

In this blog I’m sharing some street food recipes that are some of my favorites.

Check these street food recipes – Dabeli, Chowmein, Corn Bhel and Falooda. Click the video link below for detailed recipes.

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

Hope you saw the video for detailed street food recipes.

For me Dabeli is a very underrated street food. I feel it doesn’t get its due. I personally love Dabeli. A good butter Dabeli is unbeatable – delicious potato filling that has an amazing sweet and sour flavor; Pomegranate seeds that add a nice crunch and feel and buttery pav. With all of these whats not to like!

On the contrary, Chowmein is something that I found overrated. But the more I made this one at home, the more I realized that a dish bursting with flavor can be so simple to put together. I still need to enjoy a lot more of the Delhi Chowmein, but in Mumbai I remember having one at Chowpatty which was exceptional. You can check that out in the video below.

Corn Bhel is my take on a healthier version of Bhel. I have eaten it out in Mumbai, but I personally prefer the one I make at home. Again simple to make and very high on taste.

Falooda is something that is perfect for Mumbai weather, that is perennially hot and humid. Its cooling, soothing and oh so delicious! In the video above, I have shared a lighter version of Falooda – less cream, no ice cream and yet so satisfying. Do try it if you are looking for a refreshing pick me up.

Make these delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies in a pan!

In this video, I’m sharing a recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies, made without an oven. Watch the video to understand how I made these in a pan.

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

Im making these with chocolate but if you prefer plain ones, then skip the cocoa altogether. Either way your going to need peanut butter, Using about half a cup of it here. then we have a quarter cup of cocoa powder. a spoon of vanilla extract. a heaped table spoon of regular butter, one and half cup of whole wheat flour, half a cup of powdered sugar and a tea spoon of baking soda and 3/4th cup of milk. and here we have all the ingredients ready. you can even replace the whole wheat flour with maida here. so first throwing in the butter. and the sugar next. and mixing these two. it helps if the butter is a little softened already. And I’m using Amul butter. if you can then use unsalted or you can even use ghee. and now this is mixed and ill be adding the peanut butter in. And now mixing it as well. Once this is mixed in nicely im adding the vanilla extract and mixing it well. And then goes in the flour and the cocoa powder. And also the baking soda and mix all these together. Then add milk and finally i go in with my hands and this is the dough here ready . Then this goes in the fridge for about 20 minutes. and in the meantime, preheat the pan so this is a nonstick pan and im brushing it with oil and using a wrapping paper and lining it – you can use butter paper or parchment paper. And putting the lid of and letting this heat up on a low flame for about 15 minutes. Now the cookies can be rolled into these balls and flattened slightly. I’m not making these too big since i want them to get cooked evenly. and then we just place them in the pan. I’m also topping them with some chocolate chunks- this is just chopped up dark chocolate. These get ready in about 20-25 minutes.

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

This Coffee Chocolate Cake is just so spongy by itself and with this Mocha Buttercream Frosting, its even more delicious! And I made this without oven or eggs. I love the combination of coffee and chocolate together – firstly both taste so good and secondly its just such a comforting combination.

Coffee Chocolate Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup yoghurt / curd / dahi

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4th cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons instant coffee

1 teaspooon cocoa powder

pinch of cinnamon

1 1/2 cup of all purpose flour / maida

1 teaspoon baking powder

First mix the yoghurt and baking soda together in a big bowl and keep it aside. This mixture will rise. Then take powdered sugar and vegetable oil and mix it together. Then take coffee, cocoa and cinnamon and add some hot water and make it into a liquid consistency and add this to the sugar and oil mixture. Then sieve maida and baking powder together and add it to the sugar, coffee and oil mixture. And finally add the yoghurt mixture in as well. Mix it enough gently to only remove lumps and then grease a nonstick pan and let this cook for about 45 minutes to an hour. You need to place another pan underneath the cake pan so it doesn’t get heat directly.

Mocha Buttercream Frosting recipe

Taking about one and a half tablespoon of instant cofeee and adding really hot water and mixing it so that the coffee granules completely dissolve in it. Next using regular salted butter / Amul butter and adding it to the coffee mixture. Next add 1 table spoon of cocoa powder and about 4 table spoons of powdered sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract. And just mixing everything together. Blend it well, you can even use a hand blender or electric beater and then this is ready.

This recipe is quite easy and with minimal prep you can get a coffee chocolate cake ready. Do try it and let me know how it works for you.
