Chhena Sabzi

Chhena, or curdled milk is something each one of us has seen in the kitchen, when the milk has not boiled properly, or curdles due to some other reasons. Usually, it is considered as spoilt milk, but, it is very healthy and proteinaceous like paneer. This recipe uses up that curdled milk into yummy lip-smacking curry. You will love the taste, especially when the chhena ball melts in your mouth and leave you craving for more. It can be made into many curries, but I will first post the basic, healthy version of it. I learnt it first from my school friend. Rosy! A BIG SHOUTOUT to you, THANKS A TON for this recipe. The entire credit of this recipe goes to you.

Ingredients:

Chhena/Curdled milk - 2 cups ( For 2-3 people)
Maida- 3 tsp
Baking powder- Half tsp
Potato- 1 medium
Onion- 2 medium
Ginger-garlic paste- Half tsp
Tomato - 1 medium or 2 small
Refined oil- For deep frying 
Mustard or refined oil- 2 tbsp (For cooking)
Curry powder- 1 tsp
Chilli powder- Half tsp
Turmeric powder- Half tsp
water- 1 cup

Lighting the stove:

Take about 2 cups of chhena and let all the water drain out of it.

Now, add around 3 tsps of maida and half tsp of baking powder to it and mix well.

Make small balls from it and deep fry them. If the balls break in oil, it means it needs a little more maida. Take them out when they are golden and slightly brown.

Also fry a few potatoes and keep them with the chhena balls.

Now, heat oil in a kardhai and fry thinly sliced onions for 1-2 mins.

Add ginger-garlic paste and fry till onions are golden brown.

Add curry powder, turmeric powder, and chilli powder and mix well.

Add the chopped tomatoes and 2 tbsps of water and cook till tomatoes turn mushy.

Fry for 1-2 mins more and add the fried chhena balls and potatoes.

Mix well and fry for 1 min. Then, pour 1 cup of water.

Cook covered for 1-2 min and sprinkle coriander leaves.

Serve hot with rice, phulka, paratha or zeera rice.


Sorry guys, I don't have all the photos with me now. I promise to update them soon.

Kurkure Burger

Yes, my friends. You have read the title right. It is a burger with kurkure. It is a very simple idea which suddenly came to my mind a few days back, and it is so easy and so yum that it definitely needs to get out to the world. Bachelor alert ! A high recommendation for at least a try. Kurkure lovers ! You are gonna get addicted to this. 

So, here we go.

What we need:

Burger bun/Pav bun Just any kind of bun -1
Mayonnaise - 2 dollops - 2 tablespoons
Kurkure - A small 5 Rs pack will do. Any flavor- I used butter masti, other flavors will be yummier.
Tomato sauce for serving


No lighting the stove for this, Just arranging :

Slice the bun from the centre.

Put one dollop of mayonnaise on each inner side and spread it nicely.

Place kurkure on the mayonnaise such that no space is left, and then some more. 

(Optional: You may add some onions and tomatoes if you want, but not necessary. I didn't add.)

Place the upper slice of bun on it firmly.

That's it ! The kurkure bun is ready for breakfast, snack or even dinner. Serve with tomato sauce.
