Potato Rosti#EatTheWorld

Rostis (or properly spelt rösti), has it origine from Switzerland, they are typically  pan fried in a skillet then cut up to serve as a side dish for a meal.

Serves One
Ingredients
500 Grams Potatoes
¾ Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Black pepper powder
Desi Ghee or Clarified Butter as required

Method

Grate the raw potatoes using a standard box grater.
Squeeze out the excess liquid by grabbing handfuls and squeezing out as much water you can then transfer to a bowl.
Mix the potatoes with a tablespoon of melted ghee or butter or clarified butter, if that’s what you’re using), salt and pepper.

Heat a a tablespoon of ghee in a skillet lightly, and spread all the potatoes on it don’t pack it down tightly. We want FLUFFY on the inside! It will seem quite thick but once it cooks down to it will flatten.

Cook for 12 minutes on medium low to make the underside golden or till the strands to cook through until soft and bond together enough to be sliceable without falling apart. This is the reason it’s best not to rinse the grated potato – because it removes much more starch than just squeezing out excess water. This results in “slippery” potato strands, rather than bonding together.

It takes longer than you think to become golden because residual water from the potato leeches out and that needs to evaporate – which also sort of “steam-cooks” the inside – before the underside goes golden and crispy. 

Flip! When the underside is golden (use a rubber spatula to peek), using a round wooden board with a handle or a plate. Slide the rosti back in, uncooked side down and cook for a further 12 minutes or until you can slide a knife through the centre easily. 

Slide the rosti onto a serving platter or cutting board. Cut into (large!) wedges and serve immediately! My hubby enjoyed this as a complete meal.

My Notes

If you like your Potato Rosti crispy instead of soggy, and deep golden instead instead of burnt, don’t skimp on the fat. If you want ultimate flavor, use clarified butter/ ghee like the Swiss do instead of butter or oil.

Dalgona Coffee#SundayFunday

My hubby sent me a link on what's app, make this for me. It's was Dalgona Coffee. He is not a coffee drinker, but, still got excited to see this foamy coffee and wanted to taste it, full filled his farmaish😄!!

Dalgona coffee is a whipped coffee.—it started as a Tik Tok trend and has now exploded all over the internet as the trending drink of the moment. It's actually a Korean origin recipe. Is it worth the hype? Only one way to find out, is to make it!! My hubby verdict worth the hype, tasted too good!!

If you've got instant coffee, sugar, and water on hand, you can make this. It'll go by faster if you have a electric hand mixer (don't use an immersion blender - it just doesn't work, I tried it). A regular whisk, will do, you just need a powerful arm, and a good dose of patience and endurance and you'll be rewarded with a nice tall glass of cold, creamy whipped coffee. 

This recipe makes enough dalgona fluff for one serving. It's delicious, chilled and foamy! This coffee is just like Frappe or Indian Cappuccino, served upside down.

Serves One
Ingredients
2 Teaspoons Granulated Sugar
2 Teaspoons Instant Coffee
2 Teaspoons Water
For Serving
Ice, as required
Milk, as required
Method

In a medium bowl, combine sugar, coffee, and water. Using a electric hand mixer or a whisk, vigorously whisk until mixture turns silky smooth and shiny, then continue whisking until it thickens and forms stiff peaks(it takes just 2 - 3 minutes). (If whisking by hand, it will take 8 to 12 minutes to get to optimal fluffiness).

Fill a glass most of the way full with ice and milk, then dollop and swirl the whipped coffee mixture on top, mixing before drinking, if desired.

So fluffy, creamy.. super delicious!!

Fluffy Omelette#Foodieextravaganza

We all make this basic egg omelette at home with some slight here and there variations but this recipe would help you make an epic classic fluffy omelette which kids and your family are just going to simply love it! . This fluffy omelette works well as a main course for brunch or breakfast along with sausages, veggies, and toast! To make this omelette it's the technique is what matters the most.

Serves One
Ingredients
2 Large Eggs - yolk & whites separated
½ Tablespoon + ½ Tablespoon Butter
Salt & Black Pepper powder to taste

Method

Separate the egg whites and the egg yolks in two separate bowls.

Whisk the egg yolks until they become homogenous and pale in color. Add in the salt and black pepper powder, mix it well. Set aside.

Transfer the egg whites to a large bowl and whisk with an electric beater until they start to become fluffy and continue to whisk till they triple in size and become white with soft stiff peaks.

Carefully fold the egg yolks into the egg whites until fully incorporated.

Heat a medium nonstick frying pan with ½ tablespoon butter, pour the egg mixture, cover the pan with a lid. Cook over medium low flame until bottom of omelet has set, about 4 - 5 minutes and the omelette puff's up. 

Then lift up the sides of the omelette and drop the remaining ½ tablespoon of butter underneath and rotate the pan so that butter spreads to all sides of the pan. Cover the pan and cook for another 3 - 4 minutes, or until the top of the omelet has set (to check if its cooked or not, touch the upper surface of the omelette, if they are done they won't stick to your fingers). Remove the pan from the heat.

Fold the omelette onto a plate and Enjoy!

My Notes

This Omelette is like a souffle.. it does sit down as it starts cooling.
