Ingredients
8 Large Shrimps/Prawns
½ Teaspoon White Pepper powder (or black pepper)
¼ Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Egg
Oil for frying
Salt To Taste
1 Teaspoon Mustard Sauce
A Dash of Red Pepper powder
For Dipping Sauce
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce

To Make Dipping Sauce
Combine soy sauce, vinegar, chopped green onion, and sesame seeds in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.
For The Shrimps 

Shell the shrimps, devein, butterfly cut shrimps wash and pat dry with a paper towel. Score the shrimp on both sides so that it won’t shrink when cooked.

Put the shrimp on a large plate, belly side up and side by side without touching each other.

Season the shrimp with mustard sauce, salt and white pepper over top, evenly. 

Coat the inside of the shrimp with flour.
Heat up a pan over medium flame. Add little cooking oil to the pan.
Beat an egg with a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Dip the shrimp into the egg and place it in the pan. Repeat this with the rest of the shrimp but don’t crowd them in the pan.

Cook for a few minutes until the bottom of the shrimp turns a little light golden brown, pressing down slightly with a spatula every now and then. Turn them over and cook another couple of minutes until both sides are light golden brown. Place them in a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Serve with Dipping Sauce. Enjoy!!

Dahiwale Aloo Ki Sabzi/Potatoes In Yogurt Sauce#AlphabetChallenge

Dahiwale aloo is nothing but potatoes in yogurt gravy.  This  is a very creamy and flavorful gravy.  Its quick easy and tastes delicious.

Ingredients
For the  Aloo 
10 - 12 Peeled Baby Potatoes
½ Teaspoon Cumin seeds
½ Teaspoon Mustard seeds
½ Teaspoon Onion seeds
½ Teaspoon Fennel seeds
¼ Teaspoon Asafoetida
2 Bay leaves
3 Cloves
1 Stick Cinnamon
A Sprig Curry leaves
1 Green Chilly - slit
2 Teaspoon Red chilly powder
1½ Teaspoons Coriander Cumin powder
¼ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Cup Yogurt - whisked
2 Tablespoons Ghee
Salt to taste
For The Garnish
2 - 3 Tablespoons Coriander leaves - chopped

Method  
Heat the ghee in a kadai/pan,  add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, onion seeds, fennel seeds and asafoetida. When the seeds crackle, add the bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon, curry leaves and green chilli and sauté for a few seconds.
Add the potatoes, chilli powder, coriander-cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt and sauté till the masala coats the potatoes evenly. 

Add ½ cup of water and bring to a boil.
Add the curds and bring to a boil while stirring continuously so that the gravy does not split.

Garnish with the coriander. Serve hot as a side dish or have as a main course meal with rotis, naan or paratha.
My Notes

As this gravy cools, potato will absorb some of it, so serve hot. If serving later then add a little more water and make a thin gravy. By the time you reheat/serve, you will still have some gravy left.

Masala Chai Mousse Bundt#SundayFunday

It's a soft, fluffy mousse cake spiced with masala chai spices and made with biscuits. It's a perfect tea cake.

Cup Measurement = 200 ML

Ingredients
For The Tea
200 ML Water
2 Tablespoon Masala Chai Tea Leaves
2 Cardamoms
4 Teaspoons Sugar
200 ML Milk
For The Mousse
32 Glucose Biscuits - grind to a powder
100 Grams Digestive Biscuits - grind to a powder
¼ Cup Melted Butter
1/3 Cup Fresh Cream
½ Cup Milk
1½ Cup Whipped Cream
1 Large Egg
¼ Teaspoon Baking powder
½ Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
¼ Cup Milk
1 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoon Chocolate Chips for the topping
Method

In a deep pan on medium heat, add water, lemongrass, mint leaves and let it boil for 5 to 10 mins, then add cardamom powder, sugar and tea leaves and let it boil again for 10 mins, add more water if the water level goes down, then add milk and let it comes to a rolling boil 3 to 4 times, then take it off heat and strain to get a clear tea.

In a shallow pan, heat cream for 3 to 4 minutes, then add glucose biscuits, it will firm up, not to worry, add the tea and stir to break all lumps, then add in milk and keep breaking the lumps, once the mixture is nice and clear take it off heat.

In a bowl take the powdered digestive biscuits and mix in butter, mix until all the biscuit powder is mixed with butter. In a round ring mold place the biscuit butter mixture, flatten it out and then freeze until ready to use.

In a bowl, add the whipping cream using an electric whisk, whisk the cream until they form stiff peaks, then add cooled tea-cream mixture and whip until they have completely incorporated. Beat in the egg, baking powder and essence then add the milk and oil and continue to beat. Pour this into a greased small bundt and sprinkle a the chocolate chips with a spoon lightly swirl it and bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for 25 -30 minutes (I found that it was browning too much on top after 14 minutes so I tented it with a foil). This took excalty 30 minutes, if you insert a tooth pick,  it will come out a little wet since I added chocolate chips. 

So check for doness when the cake starts to leave the sides of the pan. Cool and enjoy!!

Air Fryer Small Sourdough Sandwich Bread#SundayFunday

Wanted to try baking bread in a airfryer, seen so many reels, so tried it and it turned out fantastic. No need for a dutch oven now you can bake bread in a airfryer too. Such an easy way to bake bread.

Ingredients
3 Grams Salt
110 Grams Water
33 Grams Active Sourdough Starter
170 Grams Bread Flour or All Purpose Flour
Method 

Combine active starter, salt, and warm water in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the flour, then knead lightly until a shaggy dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap (or aluminum foil) and let the dough rest at room temperature for bulk fermentation, about 6-8 hours.
For the first two hours of the bulk ferment, try to do 3 – 4 rounds of stretch and folds. Start with the first one at least 30 minutes after mixing the dough.

Flatten the dough into a rectangle, and gently fold about 1/3 of the dough from one short edge over toward the center, then repeat with the opposite edge so they overlap a bit. Rotate the dough 90 degrees, then gently roll it up. Finally, shape it into loaf.
Place the dough in a proofing basket lined with a lightly floured tea towel. Cover with a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning, preheat your air fryer @ 180°C for about 5 minutes.

Place a piece of parchment paper over the basket, and gently turn the basket upside down to release the dough onto the paper.Place the bread in a baking pan.

Score the top of the dough with a sharp knife or razor blade.
Reduce the temperature to 160°C. Place 3 -4 ice cubes. 

Place the pan in the basket. Bake it for 20 - 25 minutes. 

When baked remove the bread from the pan, 

turn it and bake for another 5 minutes @ 180°C for 2 - 3 minutes 

or until the bread starts to brown at the bottom.

Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Cool & slice, see how soft and airy the bread is.
