Olya Naralachi Karanji / Fresh Coconut Nevries#Alphabet Challenge

We East Indians make this for San Jao Cha Sann/St John feast, which is celebrated on 24th June the proper day or the coming Sunday. 

This is must in my family, my mother and grandmother used to make this every year,  I too make this since my husband loves them. This year I decided to take step by step pics, here is my family recipe. You can add more sugar if you want, but for us the sweetness was just right.

This Karanji is  also a traditional Maharashtrian sweet,  usually made  for festive occasions like Diwali and Ganesh Chaturthi.  

Olya means fresh, naralachya means coconut,  karanjya is turnovers or nevries,  which means fresh coconut karanji. The shelf live of these are just 3 - 4 days,  for a longer shelf-life you may use dry or desiccated coconut and sugar. 
I, prefer making karanji using fresh coconut for a superior taste. Making these, is quite a time consuming task, but,  if you love these, all the effort is worthwhile. This is one of the most easy recipes, do try preparing karanji this way and let me know how it turned out. 
Makes around 9 - 10  Nevries /Karanjies - depending on the amount of filling inside. 
Ingredients
For The Filling
1 Cup Packed Fresh Grated Coconut
¼ Teaspoon Heaped Cardamom pods
3 Tablespoons Heaped Sugar
A Pinch of Nutmeg powder
15 Cashewnuts - chopped
1 Tablespoon Golden Raisins/Kismis
1 Teaspoon Ghee/Vegetable Shortening

For The Covering

2 Cups All Purpose Flour

1½ Tablespoon Heaped Melted Ghee

¼ Teaspoon Salt

For Frying 

Vegetable Oil as required
 Method

For The Filling

In a pan / kadai take ghee, coconut and sugar. Cook on low heat till  melts and the mixture comes together, add the raisins, cashew nuts, cardamom  and nutmeg powder and continue to cook the mixture on low medium heat for a 2 minutes stir continuously, since tends to burn quickly, so do not stop stirring at any given point of time. Once the mixture is dry  take  off the heat and set aside to cool completely.

For The Covering

In a thaal/bowl mix  flour, melted ghee and salt, mix well.  Add water as required and knead to a soft, pliable,  smooth dough.  Keep it covered in a moist cloth  for 25 to 30 minutes. 

After 30 minutes, knead the dough again slightly and make small round balls.

Take one small dough ball. With the help of a rolling pin, roll it flat (same as the size of a poori)

Place a spoonful of the coconut jaggery mixture in the center

Dip your finger into the water and apply on the edge of half the poori. Flod the other edge of the poori, press the edges well to seal the filling inside.
Be sure that no air bubbles remain inside. The edges should be tightly sealed or the filling may ooze our during deep frying.

Press the edges using the back of a fork  or a cutter to give it that  design.  Place the filled karanjis on  a plate and cover with  a damp towel to avoid drying. 

Heat oil for deep frying in a kadhai or deep pan.
Slowly fry the karanjis on low flame till golden brown. Remove on paper towel and let them rest for 20 mins. When cooled down, store in airtight container upto 3 - 4 days. If refrigerated, it can be stored for a few more days.

Enjoy.. these are delicious, I am sure you can't stop at one or two!!

Fried Surmai Fish With Surmai Chinchoni#FishFriday

This is without coconut and oil. In this recipe the 'chinch' or the sourness comes from tamarind. This is tangy and lightly spicy curry. This can be had with steamed rice or Hand Breads (Apas) -East Indian.

I had purchased a small seer/surmai fish, cut two slices of the fish for frying and remaining used to make a curry.
Serves 2
Ingredients
3 -4 Pieces Seer Fish / Surmai
500 ml water
1 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Tamarind paste

For the Masala Paste 
8 - 9 Dried Red Kashmiri chillies
5 Big Cloves Garlic - roughly chopped
1 Teaspoon Heaped Cumin seeds
1/2 Teaspoon Turmeric powder
2 Teaspoons Rice - washed
For the Fried Fish
2 Slices Seer Fish / Surmai
2 Tablespoons Of The above ground masala
Salt to taste
1 Tablespoon Lemon juice

Oil as required for frying
Method
Soak red chillies in hot water for 1 hour. Drain and grind with remaining masala ingredients to a smooth consistency, gradually adding 3-4 tablespoons of water, or as required.

Wash fish and set aside to drain. 

In a pan or mud vessel (which we East Indians call it a treezal), add the ground masala, tamarind paste, water and over low flame, let this boil for 10 to 15 minutes. 

Adjust the consistency of the gravy and sourness accordingly, then only add the fish. After 15 minutes add fish and bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 7 - 8 minutes or until the fish is cooked. Serve hot with steamed rice and the fried fish.

For the Fried Fish

Wash and pat dry the slices of fish and then mix the salt and lemon juice to the ground masala. Apply this well to the fish and keep it aside for 15 minutes. Then fry it in a cast iron pan with a tablespoon or two of oil, till done on both sides.

Wasabi Prawn On Air Fryer Sweet Potato Roundles#FishFriday

Japanese are very artistic when comes to the  serving  their food.  Wasabi prawns traditionally are deep fried, topped with the sauce, super delicious. As you bite into these appetizers you will feel the sweet and crispiness of the sweet potato, spicy, sharp taste of the horse radish and the tingling flavor of wasabi mayo. 

They are blast of flavors in your mouth and you will not be able to stop at one or two, you'll stretch your hand to have more, that, I can assure you. So prepare more that you can imagine if you are making these for a party.

I have used Wasabi Mayo that comes in a tube which is a prepared paste. Do try these you will love them.

Ingredients
150 Grams Cleaned Prawns- tail shell intact and de-veined
3 Tablespoon Corn Flour 
1 Teaspoon Red Chilly Powder 
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice 
½ Teaspoon salt
Oil required for deep frying

For Serving
Wasabi Mayo
Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chips

Method 

Wash and pat dry the prawns. In a bowl mix the lemon juice, salt, corn flour and red chilly powder well. Add the prawns and toss them well so that they are coated with flour. Keep them aside for 15 minutes.

Heat the oil in small deep frying pan when hot, add only two prawns at a time and fry them for just two minutes on each side ( if you over fry them they will become rubbery and dry out, they will not be juicy) . So fry them in batches. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep aside on a kitchen towel to drain the excess oil.
For serving

Arrange the sweet potato roundels in a serving plate, squeeze a teaspoon of the wasabi paste, place the prawns as shown in the pic. Pick and enjoy, makes perfect Amuse Bouche.

Serve warm with the wasabi dressing.

My Notes

Drain the prawns properly. They should be ''dry'' and not dripping in water when you begin. It is best to leave it in a colander for 10 minutes which will allow the water to drain and then pat it dry with kitchen paper before starting to fry.
