Flying Saucer - Toaster Sandwich /Jaffle#SundayFunday

I call this sandwich a Flying saucer because it looks like a disc-shaped flying craft. You give this to a child with this name, he or she will happily enjoy it. This how I use to give this to my daughter when she a little girl and very often she would say Ma make for me flying saucer. If you have leftover potato sabzi then this is even quicker, I make this sandwich with whenever there is leftover potato sabzi. These are also know as jaffle in Australia.
Ingredients
6 Slices White bread
1 Cup Potato Sabzi
100 Grams Butter
Tomato Ketchup to serve
Method
Spread butter on all the sides of bread, spread the potato sabzi on one slice. 

Cover with second slice, place it in the toaster place, put over medium flame, turning occasionally on both side until done ( see pic).

Serve with ketchup.

Keto Dairy Savory Crepes With Almond Flour#SundayFunday

I love crepes for breakfasts, so I made these large crepes for me to enjoy. These crepes are dairy free, these we good to enjoy with sugar free jam.

Cup Measurement = 250ml
Makes 7 Large Crepes
Ingredients
1¼ Cup Almond Flour
½ Cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Cup Egg Whites
¼ Teaspoon Salt
Butter Or Desi Ghee - for brushing the pan

Method

In a large bowl combine egg whites, almond flour, almond milk and salt. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Let rest 5 minutes. Set a 10-inch skillet over medium low flame. Add just enough oil or butter to the pan to lightly coat it. 

Once hot, tilt the pan pour the batter to the pan and swirl or spread into a thin layer that reaches to the edges. 

Cover with a lid. After 2 minutes open and let is cook for a few seconds or until the edges are cooked and can be loosened with a spatula. Loosen all the way around and then lift one edge gently and work spatula underneath (I found it easiest to place the spatula to loosened edge and under the crepe so I could flip it).

Flip and cook on the other side until lightly browned. Remove and lay on prepared baking sheet, then continue with remaining batter. You can layer another piece of parchment on top of the first set of crepes as more come off the pan.

Fill with whatever your little heart desires. You can enjoy these with sugar free jam or with sugar-free Nutella!

Chettinad Mushroom Masala#Alphabet Challenge

Button mushrooms sautéed in spicy Chettinad curry. Happened to taste this dish at a local Indian restaurant, since then wanted to try it out myself. Tried this recipe with my own blend of Chettinad spices and it turned good and it's a superb recipe. Chettinad Masala powders have special ingredients which gives the unique taste to the dish.

Ingredients

To Dry Roast Each Separately
3 Dry Kashmiri Red Chilies
1 Tablespoon Heaped Coriander seeds
¾ Teaspoon Cumin seeds
1 Teaspoon Poppy seeds
1 Teaspoon Split Roasted Gram / Pottukadalai/Dalia
1 Tablespoon Heaped Grated Dry Coconut or Desiccated Coconut
To Grind along with the above Roasted Ingredients
5 Shallots/Sambar Onion
1" Piece Ginger
5 Cloves Garlic
5 Curry leaves
¼ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
1 Teaspoon Kerala Garam Masala
Other Ingredients
200 Grams Button Mushrooms - chopped
1 Large Tomato - chopped
1 Green Chilly - slit
1 Bay leaf
2 Small Piece Dagdful /Black Stone Flower / Kalpasi
5 Curry leaves
1 Tablespoon Chopped Coriander leaves
½ Teaspoon Salt or to taste
3 Tablespoons Oil
125 Ml Water

Method
Clean, chop the mushrooms, cut them into pieces and keep aside. Slice them vertically for a even look.

Dry roast the ingredients separately will each releases an aroma . Let them all cool. Grind all the spices and coconut powder in a spice blender/ mixer and powder them to fine texture. This is your dry masala powder. To this add the small onions, ginger, garlic, curry leaves & turmeric powder to the spice powder and grind to coarse texture. A few pulse in the mixer will be sufficient to chop the onions and ginger garlic. 

Keep this wet masala ready for the preparation.

In a kadai, heat oil and toast the bay leaves, dagdful, green chilly and some curry leaves. Now add the wet masala mixture and fry along for few minutes.

Add the sliced mushrooms and tomatoes at this stage and add half cup of water. Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes over low flame.

Mushroom has the tendency to release water when cooked, so the gravy will be watery at this stage. Simmer till it reaches a semi-thick consistency, over low flame for the oil to separate.

Now garnish with chopped coriander and curry leaves and switch off. Serve as a side with rice or roti of you choice, this goes well with idli and dosa too!

My Notes
Poppy seeds & split roasted gram is added to give thickness to the gravy.
