Last Saturday my Dida ( Granny) visited us and shared a time tested recipe from her kitchen which my Dadu (Grandpa) love the most. My Dadu left us for almost 18 years ago but whenever we ask for some recipes my Dida bring out from her magic box something which my Dadu loved. I am moved to see a magic chemistry that keep them in a deep loving relationship even when one left for an eternal journey.
In today’s world when we are busy accumulating material things for quick satisfaction, when love itself is commercialized do you think that we can save real love and if so share your thoughts. While you are giving this topic your serious thoughts fry some cilantro fritters and dip them in mint dip and I am sure you will have some clear and fresh thoughts. Take a look on the recipe-
Ingredients:
Fresh cilantro 1 bowl chopped All purpose flour 1/2 cup Rice flour 1/2 cup Salt and pepper to taste Water 1/3 cup Sunflower/ vegetable oil - to deep fry Mint Dip Greek yoghurt / or hung yoghurt – 1/2 cup Fresh mint leaves hand full chopped Sugar 1/2 tea spoon (optional) Salt to tasteProcedure:
In a big bowl take all purpose flour, rice flour, salt, pepper, chopped cilantro mix well. Now add water little by little so that it makes a thick and tight mixture. Heat oil in a pan. When the oil is hot enough scoop out large spoonful of the cilantro mixture and place gently in the pan. Let it cook till each cilantro fritters is brown both side. Carefully remove fritters and place on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Now in a bowl mix all ingredients for mint dip and then serve the cilantro fritters hot with mint dip. Relish this crunchy flavorful fritters with fresh mint dip and think that how we can save true love and this world with true love!
Be Happy And Stay Healthy.

Finding your soul mate perhaps is one of the most difficult things especially today. I was lucky enough to find him. When you do then this love stays for as long as at least one of the two people is alive. These are beautiful fritters and the dip very refreshing!

ReplyDeleteLoved the story about your Dadu and Dida, very heart-warming. This is quite an interesting recipe.
ReplyDeleteDear Sutapa
ReplyDeleteHow are you? Darun recipe...it is very different from the one I make. The mint sauce will go very well with the coriander flavour, I can virtually get that .
Will try soon.

Both my grandparents had their individual ways in the kitchen. I now lovingly incorporate their teachings into my joy of cooking.
ReplyDeleteSutapa...these patties sound scrumptious.
Will have to try them out with some Italian parsley ;o)
Flavourful wishes,
