Suya/Grilled Beef Skewers#EatTheWorld

Sierra Leone-style beef skewers (also known locally as Kebab or Suya). Suya is tender beef threaded on a skewer and then baked or grilled to perfection in a tantalizing spicy peanut sauce. Suya, a very spicy street food that's popular in western Africa.

This is my take on Suya, grilled beef skewers from West Africa. Sirloin steak is marinated in a quick and easy marinade that is extremely delicious and perfect for cooking on the grill. They’re ideal for snacks, summer picnics, or even a main or side dish.

Serves 8

Ingredients
1 Cup Salted Roasted Peanuts - skinned
1 Tablespoon Paprika powder
2 Teaspoons Onion powder
2 Teaspoons Ginger powder
1 Teaspoon Red Pepper flakes
1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
2 Tablespoons Tomato paste
1 Teaspoon All Spice Powder
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
1 Teaspoon Salt or to taste
1 Kg Beef Undercut /Sirloin Steak- cut into 2 inch cubes
Method
Place peanuts in a food processor, process until it starts to become a paste. Add paprika, onion powder, ginger, pepper flakes and garlic powder, pulse until combined.

Pat dry the beef with a kitchen towel to remove any moisture.
Place beef in a large bowl or shallow dish. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Add peanut mixture and tomato paste mix well and toss so that each cube of meat is coated with the spice mix. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours or overnight.
Soak the skewers totally submerged in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning. Drain beef, discarding marinade.

Thread beef onto wooden skewers. 

Grill, covered, over medium-high heat until beef reaches desired doneness, 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. 

Garnish beef skewers with sliced onions, lime wedges, green onions, chopped coriander leaves, and chopped peanuts if desired.

Naturally Fermented Appam Using Homemade Toddy#Alphabet Challenge

Traditionally, appams are fermented with a local alcoholic drink known as toddy, since we do not get toddy in my city decided to make this from scratch at home.
Making naturally fermented appam with homemade toddy (or kallu) these are perfectly soft, lacy pancakes. You can check the different appam recipe posted below.

Cup Measurement 250 Ml
Makes 25 - 26 Appams
Ingredients
2 Cups Idly Rice
1 Cup Grated Coconut
4 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
100 to 125 ML Water
To make the Fermented Coconut Water / Toddy
175 ML Coconut Water
1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
Method

Add a tablespoon sugar into the coconut water ,mix well . Close well and keep this water in indirect sunlight for 3 days Do not keep it direct sunlight. I kept this in morning at 9 am till 4 pm in indirect sunlight. Then kept at room temperature on my dining table for a day or until fermented. It stays well in the refrigerator for 4 - 6 weeks.
For Making The Appam

Soak rice for minimum 6 hours or overnight and drain all the water the next day. Wash it once in fresh water and drain that water too.
Keep aside 3 tablespoon of the soaked rice. In the remaining rice mix rest the coconut and keep aside .
First grind the 3 tablespoons of rice with water and make a fine paste. Pour this into a sauce pan, add 300 Ml water and mix well. Cook it on medium low flame stirring continuously, till is form a thick and shiny dough. Let it cool completely.
Grind the remaining rice and coconut mix with 2 - 3 tablespoons fermented coconut water to fine paste. I ground it in 3 batches. Now add the cooled rice paste along with a little of the ground rice coconut paste and blend it well so that it is incorporated. Add this paste to the remaining ground batter, wash the mixer jar with water, pour this to into the batter and mix very well with your hands for 2 - 3 minutes. Leave it to ferment overnight in a warm place. 

It takes 14 - 16 hours to ferment this batter, keep this in a warm place. Once the batter is fermented - the batter will be bubbly and frothy. Add salt and mix well. Taste for sugar, add if necessary. 

Make appams in a appam pan or you can make them on a tawa too. 

Enjoy with Avail or Stew. 
My Notes

Egg Appam can be made with this batter, just break an egg on top when the appam is nearly ready cover with a lid and let the yolk set.

See here for the other two method that the Appam are made Palappam - With Idly Rice - Vegan & Gluten Free

Vegan & Gluten Free Trinxat#EatTheWorld

Trinxat is staple Andorran side dish of boiled, mashed potatoes and cabbage, fried until crispy, typically served in the cold winters as a hearty meal. I have made a vegan version of this Trinxat. Tradionally Trinxat is made with fried bacon and then fried in the reserved bacon fat. If your want to make a non vegetarian version then add 3 - 4 slices of crispy fried bacon and then make pancakes. I have added chopped scallions greens and parsely to the pancake. 

Makes 3
Ingredients
100 Grams Shredded Green Cabbage
150 Grams Potatoes - peeled & cut into chunks
2 Cloves Garlic - minced
1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Parsley
1 Tablespoon Finely Chopped Scallion Greens
½ Teaspoon Salt or to taste
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper powder or to taste
Method

Shred the cabbage and cook in salted water along with the potatoes, skinned and cut into large chunks. Cook until the potatoes are tender.
When tender, drain all the water very well. Return the pot along with the garlic and turn on the flame on to low. Let it steam so that any excess moisture is evaporated. When still warm, mash the veggies with a potato masher, add in the scallion greens, parsely, salt and pepper to taste. Using a mould for individual servings, press this mixture into the mould.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry, on medium low flame, for approximately 5 minutes each side or until golden brown. Remove the mould and flip the pancake and cook until golden brown.
If you want to make one big, just use a skillet, pressing the mixture into the skillet , then flip over once golden brown. Cut into servings. 

Enjoy with a sauce of your choice!! This was a very simple dish, but tasted really good.
