A recipe for passion is always simmering !
Punukulu are little crispy fritters from Andhra region, often had as a tea time snack or even as a breakfast item in some parts. These are kind of inbetween bhaji and bonda, as the exterior looks golden and crispy, the inner portion tastes soft and chevy. Would be right to call it Moong Methu Pakora. (Moong Dal Fritters / Pesara Punukulu / Moong Dal Pakodi / Moong Dal Bhaji )
Indo-Chinese style spicy Prawn Chilli.
American style appetizer made with spicy Jalapeno peppers.
Restaurant style fish tikka, a punjabi dhaba dish.
Snack or chat made with mashed potato, carrots and green peas.
Home style minced meat vadai made with split roasted gram (Pottukadalai / Dalia / Udaicha Kadalai )
This may sound very odd but trust me, its one of the best. Healthy appetizer, made in minutes with just a couple of easy to find ingredients.
If you have diabetes, this is an ideal appetizer for you. When you’re eating too much hot and oily stuff, this soup seems to cool down your body system. It’s a great soup to add to your daily meals or at least twice a week. Wonderful recipe which I happened to learn from my mom. Use your imagination, add in a couple of veggies to reduce the bitterness and to enhance the taste. Notoriously bitter of all vegetables, so, I have added lots of ripe tomatoes (canned) to make it more like tomato soup, but not really necessary.
Home style mutton soup.
Deep fried grated carrot balls, one good side for any South Indian meal, a great nutritious snack for kids, wonderful vegetarian appetizer item for guest entertaining. (Carrot Balls / Carrot Vadai )
