Sweet Corn Fritters

Today I bring to your dining table, the taste of The United States of America. Its a common breakfast dish served in the States. Nope...its not pancakes. They do have some other amazing stuffs too other than pancakes and maple syrup. :) Its "Sweet Corn Fritters"!!

This cooked breakfast is a taste of America - a delicious, different way to start the day. Just try it if you want a little change from your usual omelette. :)

Ingredients:

4 eggs (beaten)
1/2 medium red onion (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp dijon mustard (optional)
200 gm sweetcorn (I use the tinned one)
2 tbsp chopped parsley (can use coriander leaves)
2 tomatoes (thick round slices)
salt & pepper for seasoning
cooking oil to drizzle

Method:

Heat your omelette pan & drizzle some oil into it. Let it become medium hot.
Using a fork, combine all the ingredients mentioned above except tomato slices in a large mixing bowl. Season well with salt & pepper.
Create a small or big fritter by putting 2 generous ladle of the mixture into the pan. If all the corn is in the middle of the fritter, gently spread the corn kernels out to its edges.

(Stir the mix between each spoonful. or the corn will settle down at the bottom of the bowl).

4. Cook the fritters for a minute or two or until the egg has set enough to turn the fritters over. Cook the other side too. Remove the omelette to your serving plate.

5. In the same pan, pop the tomato slices & heat through on both the sides for a minute each side.

6. While serving each fritter, top with 2-3 slices of tomato & sprinkling of fresh herbs if you want.

Your simple, quick, easy breakfast is ready in minutes.

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta...

Dahi Vada / Thayir Vada (Lentil fritters soaked in chilled spiced yoghurt)

The name "Dahi Vada" itself makes my mouth drool. The soft, spongy vadas immersed in a chilled spicy, creamy yoghurt just melts in your mouth like an ice-cream. It looks oo like an ice-cream...Kind of Chocolate sauce drizzled over large Vanilla Ice-cream scoops. YUM!! There is so much going on, in a single bite that your taste buds will have an explosion of sweetness, saltiness, spiciness, all at the same time but yet you will be able to tell, what taste is coming from where. For my blogger friends who are not from India, let me tell you what exactly Dahi Vada is. "Dahi" means yoghurt in Hindi & "Vada" is the lentil fritters. These fritters are deep fried & then soaked in a spiced chilled yoghurt & then topped with a sweet chutney or sauce. This is one of the popular accompaniment or a delicacy prepared in an Indian cuisine. Both North & the South Indians prepare this dish but with a slight variation. Some like the yoghurt mo...

Light Lunch - Vegetable Soup

My last few days at Chesterfield, home alone, cherishing all the happy memories of the last 4 years. Spent whole day flipping through the photographs with a hot mug of Coffee relaxing on my recliner. I was in no mood to cook but then getting hungry is human, so I had to visit my kitchen to see what could be made. I decided to go light today so made use of all the remaining veggies (to clear off the fridge) to make a healthy Vegetable Soup. I finished off making a warm, healthy, filling soup for my lunch just within half an hour & went back to my couch only to get more lazy. Sometimes its good when you do nothing at all!! ;) Ingredients: 1/2 of medium cauliflower (cut into florets) 2 medium carrots (peeled & finely diced) 1 cup of fresh or frozen peas 1 medium potato (finely diced) 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed) 25 gm butter salt & pepper to season Method: Melt the butter in a pressure cooker. Now add the crushed garlic & the chopped ...
