Hungarian Beef Goulash#Eattheworld

In: , ,
A traditional Hungarian Goulash is a soup or stew that is made with tender beef, onion, spices with paprika. Made this with the ready spice mix and making this was a cake walk for me. Just one pot and I am sorted. No grinding or standing in the kitchen to stir. Placed on the stove and relaxed for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes checked the meat ( since the meat I got was tender ) it was nearly cooked added the potatoes and again relaxed was 20 minutes. Ta da..aa after that it was ready to enjoy!!
Ingredients
500 Grams Tender Beef - cut into medium size cubes
1 Medium Onion - sliced
2 Medium Potatoes - cut into big pieces
4 Tablespoons Tomato puree
1½ Cup Water
1 Packet Ready Maggi Gulasch Spice Mix
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Method 
Heat olive oil in a pan, add the beef to the pan and sear it on all sides on high flame. Next, add the onions and sauté for 2 minutes again on high flame stirring continuously till it is translucent. Add the tomato puree and again stir fry for 2 minutes on medium low flame till the tomato coats the meat pieces. 
Now add the ready mix mixed in ½ Cup water mix it well add in the remaining cup of water and bring this to a boil, reduce the flame let is simmer , cover and let it cook for 1 to 1½ hours or until tender. Half way through the cooking add the potatoes give it a gook stir and let is cook until the meat and potatoes are done.  
As this was cooking it started to smell like heaven throughout my house and the color of the stew is so awesome. The taste was absolutely divine. Revived memories of my trip to Hungary and my stay in a boat house on the Danube river.
Serve this crusty slices of bread and Enjoy!!

Eggless Nankhatai#SundayFunday

In: , ,
Vanaspati Ghee is used which is also called clarified butter  with this  the nankhatai's are pure white. This is traditional East Indian cookies that is must for our Christmas sweet's platter and this my mother's recipe. The flavoring I, have used is cardamom powder. 
Also made 4 batches of these Eggless Nankhati's for the cute, unconditionally loving physically challenged children, that I work with, they called them snow cookies, since these are pure white.
Makes 18 to 20 
Ingredients
80 Grams Sugar - powdered
1/4 Teaspoon Cardamom powder
1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg powder
125 Grams All Purpose Flour
100 Grams Vanaspati Ghee - melted and chilled
A pinch of Salt
1/2 Teaspoon Baking powder
Nuts of choice as required

Method
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Sieve the cardamom, nutmeg, baking powder and flour, keep aside.

In a bowl add ghee, salt and sugar, beat it till light and fluffy and turns whitish. Add sieved flour and mix till it represents bread crumbs. Lightly start mixing with your hands to form a dough.
Make small marble size balls and press them down gently. Place them in the prepared baking tray with about an inch apart and gently press with a piece of nut. 
Bake in pre-heated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown at the bottom.
Cool on wire rack. Store in airtight container.

My Notes

You can adjust the sugar as per your taste. 
You can flavor them using orange or lemon zest. 
You don’t need any additional liquid to bind it into a dough. Only the ghee binds the dry ingredients. You can also use softened butter, just in case you prefer the butter’s flavor.
