Fruit Sundae

Hi Friends,
Giving fruits to your kids is such a tough task for all of us.. I face the same problem with my son but now I found a solution.
Serve fruits with ice cream. Ice cream is my son's favourite, so I add fruits into it....


Ingredients:
Chopped Fruits of your choice ( I used pineapple, apple, pomegranate, banana, orange, kiwi)
2 scoops of vanilla ice cream or any other ice-cream of your choice
2 tbsp butter scotch sauce (you can use chocolate and strawberry sauce too)
For Garnishing :
Chopped dry fruits (almond, raisins, cashew-nuts, walnuts)
1 cherry

 Method:

  • Take a glass, pour little bit of butter-scotch sauce.
  • Now add chopped fruits in the glass.
  • Put 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream then again butter-scotch sauce.
  • Now 1 more scoop of ice cream.
  • Sprinkle chopped dry fruits on the ice-cream. 
  • Decorate it with a cherry on the top.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy your FRUIT SUNDAE.

Hi Friends,
Earlier I posted a recipe of Paneer Frankie, this time I am back with soya mattar kathi roll or wrap.
Kathi roll is basically made up of paratha having veg or non-veg stuffing inside. For me it is the easiest form of giving roti/paratha to my son while he is busy in playing. 


Ingredients:

1 cup maida (all purpose flour)
1/2 cup wheat flour
Salt

To assemble :
Green pudina chutney/ tomato ketchup
Sliced onion
Shredded cabbage

Grated Carrot
Low fat mayonnaise
Chaat masala



Method:
  • Mix maida, atta and salt, knead into soft dough using water. Keep it aside for 30 -40 mins.
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal portion and roll out into thin rotis.
  • Cook each roti on medium flame. Keep them aside.
  • Take a non-stick pan ...brush it with oil and put each roti in the tava.
  • Cook on low flame. Remove from fire.
  • Divide the stuffing (Soya Keema Mattar) into 4 equal portion.

To assemble:

  • Take the roti, apply mayonnaise and green chutney/tomato ketchup.
  • In the centre place sliced onion.
  • Put soya keema mattar mixture on the sliced onion.
  • Put shredded cabbage on soya mixture and sprinkle chaat masala on the cabbage.
  • Roll up the roti to form a roll.
  • Wrap lower part of each roll in a foil paper. This will help you to hold the roll easily.

for this weekend ...Enjoy the pulav with veg raita and mint chutney.

I pack peas pulav for my son in his lunch box, he loves it and calls peas pulav as BALL RICE ....Funny.




Ingredients:
1 cup Basmati Rice 
1 1/2 cup peas (Frozen/Fresh)
2 medium size onion (Finely Sliced)
1/4 tsp ginger-garlic paste (optional)
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste

1/4 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp pepper powder
Few fresh coriander leaves (finely chopped)
1" cinnamon stick
2-3 cloves
1-2 green cardamom
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 bay leaf
                        

Method:
  1. Wash and soak rice for 30 mins . Keep it aside.
  2. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pressure cooker, add cloves, bay leaf, cardamom, cumin seeds and cinnamon stick 
  3. Add onions, saute till it turns transparent.
  4. Add ginger- garlic paste, mix well and saute for 2-3 mins.
  5. Add basmati rice, peas , cumin powder, garam masala, salt and pepper powder. Mix well, cook rice for 2-3 mins on low flame.
  6. Add water. Mix well. 
  7. Close the cooker with the lid and give 2 whistles.
  8. Remove from the heat, open the lid once pressure drops.
  9. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve it with Raita and Green Mint Chutney.

Note: If your are cooking pulav in heavy bottom vessel then the ratio must be the double.
1 cup of rice : 2 cups of water.

If you are cooking Pulav in the pressure cooker then ration must be the same or little more.
1 cup of rice : 1 cup or 1 1/4 cup of water.
