Notes about Recipes in this book

• Seared potato cakes with masala chickpeas (Chowk ki tikki)

  • Ganga108 on September 03, 2024

    Yum. I made a wet curried base by sauteing the onions and chilli, adding some liquid with the tomatoes, and the other ingredients. Brought to a simmer. Once warmed through, removed from heat and added lemon ju and chaat masala. I liked this saucy base and tomato chutney with the potato cakes. (The left-over base was excellent mixed with cubed, cooked potatoes the next day.) A kachumber (simple Indian salad) is nice on the side. NOTE that the potato cakes are smaller than might be expected (to get 12) if using medium to large-medium potatoes. You might like to add another one or use large potatoes. The ingredients have "2 Tblspn vegetable" - I presume this to be vegetable oil.

• Kadhai-spiced mushrooms on toast

    I used the flavourings in this dish to create a spice flavoured ghee, and brushed it over flat mushrooms before roasting. Delicious!

• Assamese stir-fried mushrooms with egg-fried-rice parcels

    There are a lot of separate steps in the recipe, but they weren't very difficult or very time consuming. The end result was very nice, my omelettes were too small to make packages. I used 100 g dry rice to make the 250 g boiled. That was more than enough to fill 4 omelettes.
