Chermula BeignetsIt is said that fritters are of Saracen origin and that they were brought to the West by the Crusaders. These crispy fritters are usually made with the left-over chermula mariande for fried fish. They are so tasty, though, that they are worth making on their own to serve with drinks or as a starter. If you are going to serve them with drinks, drop the batter into the hot oil by te

Allasandalla Vada or Bobbarlu Vadalu, are the fritters made with Black Eyed Pea. These fritters are so yummy that you get hooked to it, once you taste it.

I mostly remember loving the Alasandala kura, which my avva(grandma) used to make for us specially, when we visited the

OMG...someone, anyone, PLEASE grab Robin Wright, give her a couple of shakes and a hard slap across the face while shouting "Snap out of it!" or perhaps buy her a clue?Robin, sweetheart, baby... you are not Princess Buttercup and Sean Penn is not Wesley....hell, he aint even Spicoli....if one tenth of the stories told about his whoring, drinking and abusiveness have merit, then WTF?

Its mystifying how much flavor herbs can add to cooking and recipes, without even being one of the main ingredients! But some herbs like Fenugreek(Methi),Cilantro, Mint, and Basil are known for their distinct flavor, and can carry a dish entirely by themselves. Methi Pakodas(Fenugreek Fritters), aslo known as "Methi na Gota" in Gujarat, are one such fried food that is sure to please your palate. These fritters are made by combining Methi with coriander, besan, curd and spices, and are really easy to make. They require no special preparation, so it can be an ideal meal for the days when elaborate dinners are off the table. Fenugreek is used both as a herb (the leaves) and as a spice (the seeds, and has lots of medicinal properties.The yellowish-colored methi seeds are frequently used in the

I love apple fritters! Here's an easy recipe that you can make at home.If you don't have soy milk, you can use orange juice instead.

Salt. Does this word get your stomach growling? Get your mouth salivating? Lips smacking? Make you want to just ‘dig in’? Probably not. But could we live without it? Most definitely not. Doing some brief research on this dietary mineral not only “schooled” me on its lengthy history, but it also made me majorly appreciate [...]

And now for something completely different!After all that healthy raw food, how could I resist coating my entire kitchen with a nice layer of sunflower oil? I mean, sometimes, we've all just got to say to ourselves, "Yep... SO taking a shower after this."I've always been a huge fan of banana fritters. Well, actually, deep fried bananas in any sort of fashion. Jeremy and I used to get bananas that were rolled in coconut before being put into an egg roll wrapper for deep frying, but I've got to say I like these better. The batter is made with almond meal and minced dried coconut, which gives it more substance than if I had just used a fine flour. Also, the tangy orange blossom honey cuts the grease a little bit, and gives it a kick, which is really nice. The mint butter is a very nice finish

Didn't You Used to be Famous?It is a rather slow news day...the perfect time to remind you that at one time the Aging Disco Diva graced the covers of every fabulous magazine in the world...well, alright....in my dreams....but that counts.Drudge is a slug without a shellDrudge, the sludge, put (IMHO) Price Harry in great danger by reporting that he was deployed in Afghanistan. Harry is the royal who, thank goodness, looks NOTHING like the horsey set on his *wink-wink-wink* father's side.Whatcha think? I just don't see the resemblance....but as always, I digress.... I was impressed with Prince Harry's desire to do what he perceived as his patriotic duty and annoyed that someone was willing to put him in greater danger to garner a few more website hits.The Defense Ministry announced Friday t

Posted by Cookin' Dad at recipegoldmine.com 8/8/2001 9:59 am I tried these last week and they were very tasty, especially just after they came out of the fryer and were dipped in sugar. The only change I made was dipping the fritters in regular sugar with a bit of cinnamon. Thanks for a tasty recipe! Regards, Cookin' Dad P.S. The orange juice and orange rind added a nice, unique touch.

It is fairly common to use vegetables to make fritters, but rarely have I come across fruits dipped in batter to make warm and fluffy bhajiyas!! So after Fried Banana, I was a bit pleasantly surprised to find a recipe for Pineapple Fritters. The name intrigued me enough to give it a shot, and I found it to be a nice variation to eating fruits by themselves. We enjoyed it with Strawberry dipping sauce, and I think you would love to try this recipe too!!(image courtesy indianfoodforever.com)IngredientsCanned pineapple rings (or chunks) - Fresh pineapples are great too!1 cup all-purpose flour2 tsp baking powder1/4 cup milkOil for fryingSauce2 cups fresh or canned strawberriessugar - to taste (optional, only for a sweet tooth!)2 tbsp fresh creamMethodUse the medium-sized pineapple rings.

Rice is a very staple diet for people in any region, be it Asia, USA or Europe. The beauty of these grains is that they can be cooked and savoured in various forms. Eat it alone, or combine with other ingredients to make a delicious meal! Easy to cook, easy to eat, and equally easy to use the leftover rice to make something unique the next day! I wonder what we'd ever do if it were not for RICE!! Its the perfect saviour when you are in a hurry and need to cook something really fast. And that's exactly what motivated me to try this dish that I describe below: "Bhaat na Bhajiya" (local dialect) or Rice Fritters; tasty, simple and very filling. My husband and in-laws love this so much, they often ask me to make more rice during the day so that the leftover rice can be used to make these in the evening!!:)Ingredients 2 cups Cooked rice 1/2 onion 1/2 capsicum 1/2 potato 1/2 cup Spinach or Methi (fenugreek) leaves1/2 cup chickpea flour (besan)1 1/4 cup yoghurt1/2 tsp baking soda2 tsp salt2

So, how do you like your shrimp fritters ? What is your secret technique for a mouth-watering recipe ? Mine would actually be the hybrid of the traditional Malaysian all time favorite shrimp fritters, known as "Cucur Udang" and the Indian "Vada".I was actually thinking of just fixing the Malaysian Cucur Udang, which is a concoction of shrimp, fresh cut green chilis, bean sprouts, and chopped green onions mixed in a plain floured fluffy batter and deep-fried to a crunchy perfection. But then I was also craving for some of Asha's assortment of winter munchies, especially the variety of vadas and pakoras recipes.So basically all I did was substitute the vegetables from the Cucur Udang recipe with "chana dal" flour, aka yellow gram flour, slap a fancy Super Bowl related name to it and voila! The "Colt"-en Shrimp Fritter is born.When preparing the batter, make sure it is not runny, otherwise it won't stick to the shrimp when you deep fry the fritters. The batter should be stirred to a smo

I cook this once in a blue moon when we are all sick of eating the usual vegetable and meat dishes. It's like a snack to go with beer…Ingredients: 2 pair of fried fritters, cubed ½ bowl of squid paste Salad Sauce: ½ bowl of salad cream 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon condensed milk 1 teaspoon lemon juiceHow to do it:Mix all the ingredients of the salad sauce and set aside. Spread some squid paste on 1 side of the fried fritters. Deep fry the fried fritters with the squid paste till golden brown. Pour the salad cream on the fried fritters and mix well. Serve. My hubby likes this but he compliant that the fried fritters are too big for him to chew properly. Man … why can't he finish in 2 bites instead on 1? Okay lah. I will take note.Note: If you can't get squid paste, you can make your own. Remove the skin, head and the soft bone from the squid. Leaving only the main part. Mince it and mix with some cornflour. There you have it. And it taste better then the ready made one.
