Cloverleaf Rolls#BreadBakers

So quickly the months have gone by, 2018 is over and we ushered into a new year 2019. Our Bread Bakers theme for the new year begins with Good Luck Breads, our host is Felice Geoghegan. 

I, made these  Eggless Cloverleaf Rolls for this event. Cloverleaf rolls are small balls made of three sections and more like a pull-apart bun. These are a real treat and very versatile, can be eaten for dinner or for breakfast with butter and jam.

Makes 12 Rolls
Ingredients 
300 Grams Bread Flour
200 Ml Warm Milk
11 Grams Hefe / Fresh Yeast
2 Teaspoons Sugar
3/4 Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Oil
50 Ml Water

Method

In a mixing bowl or food processor add the sugar, yeast, milk, when the yeast starts to bubble, add the flour, salt and oil, and run the processor on low speed adding the water a little at a time till it forms into a dough. Now run the food processor on high speed to make a nice soft and smooth dough for about 8 to 10 minutes. 

Shape the dough into a ball and lightly coat with oil place it into a bowl. Cover the bowl with damp cloth and set it at room temperature to double in volume.
Brush a 12 cup muffin tin with oil and keep aside.

When the dough has doubled, punch it down and divide it into 12 parts. Divide each part into three equal-sized pieces and roll each piece into tiny balls. I used the kitchen scale to make equal size balls around 15 to 16 grams each.

Place 3 balls, seam side down, in each muffin cup. Brush them with milk, cover the muffin tin with damp cloth , put it in a warm spot and let the rolls rise till they double in size.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.Once they double in size and bake the cloverleaf rolls until golden brown, about 22 to 25 minutes.

Remove the rolls from the oven, and brush immediately with the melted butter. After 5 minutes, carefully transfer them to a rack. 

Serve warm, or at room temperature. 

Enjoy them for breakfast or dinner.

Oats & Split Green Moong Chillas/Pancakes#Foodieextravaganza

A Happy and Prosperous New Year to all my friends.
The month of December was only parties, weddings etc..
enjoyed food and drinks to the hilt. Now it's  time to start a healthy life style, hope I can maintain this. 

Starting 2019 with a healthy breakfast dish for Foodie Extravaganza. Since the theme for this month is Oatmeal, our host is Wendy Klik . Made these fabulous, healthy pancakes that are high in protein, low in calories and filling.
.
Ingredients
1 Cup Split Green Moong Dal
1 Cup Oats
3 Big Cloves Garlic
2 Green Chillies
½ Teaspoon Grated Ginger
1/3 Cup Rice Flour - * see notes
Salt to taste
Water as required

For garnishing
Grated Cheese or Cottage Cheese - optional
Chutney or Sauce for Serving
Method 

Wash and soak the split moong dal overnight or for at least 4 hours. 
Drain the water and then grind it with rest of the ingredients using water just necessary to make a coarse paste. 

This batter should be thicker than a pancake batter.

 Heat a pancake pan and brush it with oil, take a ladle full of batter spread it into a thin chilla / pancake. Drizzle little oil on it. 

When it cooks it one side then flip it and cook for a minute ( this is optional). 

Fold it into a triangle and serve with chutney or sauce . Garnish with grated cheese.

These were fabulous, healthy and are high in protein.

My Notes
If you do not have rice flour at hand then soak 2 tablespoons heaped of rice grains along with the dal.
Do not brush too much of oil on to pan or else you will not be able to spread the batter.

Cracker Fried Prawns#FishFriday

Crispy fried Prawns/Shrimps toss in spicy sauce and served as a appetizer. A spectacular display of shrimp wrapped in wonton skins fried to a perfect golden served for a elegant party appetizer .. your guest will praise you. 

Sending this to Fish Friday Even wherein we were asked to share  recipes entertaining using fish and seafood for our December.  Any type of recipe: appetizers, mains, salads, etc. that would be great for parties or as a special holiday meal by our Host Sue.

Ingredients
250 Grams Cleaned Prawns - keep the tail
2 Tablespoons Lemon juice
1 Teaspoon Garlic paste
1 Tablespoon Red Chilly paste
1 Tablespoon Red Chilly Garlic sauce or Hot Sriracha Sauce
1 Teaspoon Chopped coriander
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Soy sauce
Triangular roll wrappers 15
1 Tablespoons Corn flour - mix with quarter cup water 
Oil as required for deep frying
Method

De-vain prawns and keep the tail.

To get a straightened shrimp / prawns  just score or nick the shrimp two or three time along the inside of the “curve.” This lets you straighten out the shrimp / prawns so you don’t get a short, curly roll.

Marinate with all the given ingredients, let the shrimp / prawns marinate for about half an hour before wrapping them in egg roll wrappers. 

Place one shrimp / prawn in each triangular roll wrapper. Stick all the corners with corn flour paste

Roll tight, so that the  shrimp / prawns do fall out when you put it in the fryer.

Deep fry on medium high flame and when just light golden remove them . 

Serve with sweet chili sauce.
