Baby Corn chat..

No matter what ever season we are into... evening snacks can never be missed in our house. Frying bajji, bonda or pakoda is not a good idea at all and it's ruled out for the next few months, because of the extensive heat.

That's when I decided that I have to prepare something different, which is not heavy, but healthy and does not make me spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

Baby corn chat is what I prepared one evening and this is how I prepared it:

5 md sized fresh and tender babycorn cut in pieces.
1 tspn olive oil or any other oil
1 md onion chopped
2 md sized carrot grated
4-5 strands coriander chopped
1/2 tspn sweet chutney
1 tspn spicy chutney
1/2 tspn salt
1/2 tspn chilly pwdr
1/2 tspn lemon juice
2 tbspn masala groundnut mixture


Mix all the above ingredients and sprinkle sev for garnish.

Onion Pakoda...

Bangalore city changes it climate very often. And on one such days, it was cloudy since morning and it rained heavily late evening. That's when we feel like eating something hot and spicy.

My hubby in a very low tone, requests me to prepare onion pakoda or any bajji or bonda.

I was in no mood to eat, as I just wanted to enjoy the weather throughly. So, I just took 10mins to prepare it and it was eaten much faster than that...

Take a kadai and pour oil for frying. While the oil becomes hot for frying..get the pakoda mixture ready.

1 md onion chopped
3 tbpsn kadale hittu (besan flour)
1 tspn chilly pwdr
1 tspn salt
1/2 tspn jeera
2-3 strands coriander chopped
few curry leaves chopped
1 small chilly chopped

Mix the above ingredients with water and fry them in oil.

Enjoy eating with tomato sauce and hot tea or coffee.
