Babycorn Satay

Hi All!

I recently read this recipe on Sanjeev Kapoor’s website & tried it.

As I have mentioned earlier also, I don’t like spending too much time in the kitchen, and this recipe fits my criteria. It is easy, non-fussy and most of the ingredients are readily available in the kitchen.

 

Ingredients:

• Babycorn- 12
• Oil- for frying
• Satay Sticks-12

For the Marinade:

• Soy sauce- 1 teaspoon
• Honey- 1/2 teaspoon
• Ginger-Garlic paste- 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice- 1 teaspoon
• Chili flakes- 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt- to taste

Method:

• Blanche the Babycorn.
• In a bowl, add soy sauce, honey, ginger-garlic paste & mix well.
• Add lemon juice, chili flakes & salt.
• Add the Babycorn & set aside to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
• Thread the Babycorn to the satay sticks and place on a griddle plate/tawa.
• Pour some excess marinade on the Babycorn & cook.
• Serve hot with chutney/sauce with grilled vegetables.

 

Enjoy!!!

Jelly Boats

Jelly….it is something my kids just love.

It was my sons Birthday, and I wanted to make something he really loved. Making jelly was just too plain & boring. Besides, it is difficult to serve to the kids…specially in a Birthday Party.

I had almost given up the idea of making jelly for the party…but then, I got an “Art Attack” and I came up with this idea of Jelly Boats. Needless, to say that my kids & all their friends were super excited to see the Jelly Boats & it was a super-duper hit!

I must say that, it is the easiest thing to make for a party…All you need is,

1-Pack of Jelly mix

1- Orange/Sweet lime(Mosambi)/Keenu (Makes 4 boats)

Method:

• Cut the fruit in halves.
• Scoop out the pulp.

• Make the jelly as per the directions on the pack.
• Pour it the “moulds”.
• Refrigerate for 15 mins or till the jelly sets.
• Again cut into two equal pieces.
• Place the “Flags”…..and the boats are ready for the “Pirates”.

I suggest:

• Make a firm Jelly. If the pack says take 3 cups of water, you should take 2 1/2.
• Let the jelly cool properly or else it will not stay on the peel.
• Let the kids make the “Flags”, they just love it when they get to participate in such activities.

Enjoy the excitement & smile on your kids face!!!
