Ghiye Ka Lauj

Hello Friendz....

As we all know that the Ganpati Festivals goes on for 11 days. So , just to help you all for everyday new ideas for nevdhya.. Today I have Ghiya Lauj for you all.. Ghiya lauj is nothing but a very tasty , soft and ghiya/lauki ki barfi...

You don't need many ingredients for it , but it is really very tasty...



Ingredients :

1). Ghiya/Lauki : 1/2 Kg Grated    
        
2). Sugar : 400 gms

3). Khoya/Mawa : 300 gms

4). Elaichi : 4-5 Powdered


Procedure :

1). Take a kadhai and add the grated ghiya and sugar in it.



2). Let the mixture boil , till the sugar dissolves completely. The Ghiya will also leave lots of water , so there is no need to add extra water.



3). The mixture will boil and after few minutes of constant boil , it will start to thicken a bit. Let it boil till it has sugar syrup has turned approx to ded se 2 tar ki chanshni. Add the khoya in it. ( I always prefer and use homemade khoya for this.)



4). Mix khoya well with the sugar syrup and ghiya properly. Add Elaichi powder and let this mixture also thicken up.


5). See , now there is a tip and a trick. Put a drop of this mix on a plate. Once the drop cools , turn the plate upside down. It the drop remains at the same place and even does not falls down , that means your barfi mixture is ready , else needs some more heating. 

6). Keep a liberally ghee greased tray ready with you so that the moment your mixture is ready , you can put it on the tray boiling hot. ( Please everyone , be careful while doing this step , take the help of someone to avoid any mishap as the mix is very hot and you can hurt yourself , if done anything carelessly)


7). Put the hot mix on the tray , and try to shape it with the help of a ghee greased spatula.



8). Once it cools down , and set properly , you and cut down in small pieces and store in air tight container in the freezer/freeze to make it last long. It can stay in freezer , and used upto 15-20 days. But do not use it later than a period of 3 weeks.

Veg Paneer Momos with the Spicy Tomato Dip


Helloo....

I am back again... As I said in my last post. We will make Veg Paneer Momos. It is not tough to make these at all.. but it is a bit time consuming when you have to chop veggies manually... I mean not by a food processor. 

What you need mainly is few veggies , paneer and maida. First we will finish up with Momos and then will jot down the recipe of the typical momos wala dip for you all. But you can surely make it side by side.





Ingredients :

For Cover
 
1). Maida : 150 gms
2). Oil : 2-3 Teaspoons
3). Salt as per Taste






 Knead in a semi tight dough about 20-30 mins before using it. It will be better that you start you preps with kneading the dough so that it gets ample time to set.


For Filling
1). Carrot : 1 Medium Grated
2). Beans : 4-5 Finely Chopped
3). Spring Onions : 3-4 Finely Chopped
4). Capsicum : 1 Small Finely Chopped

6). Paneer : 50-80 gms Grated

10). Soya Sauce : 1 Tablespoon
11). Red Chilly Powder : 1 Teaspoon
12). Black Pepper Powder : 1 Teaspoon
13). Oil : 1 Tablespoon
14). Salt to Taste

Procedure :
1). In a pan , heat oil and add grated ginger and garlic. Saute for 1 min and add spring onions followed by salt and beans.



2). Saute this mix for next one minute and then add capsicum and green chillies. It is time to add black pepper and red chilly powders.

3). Now add grated carrot and paneer and saute for next one min. Cover with lid for few seconds over medium heat.

4). Add both the sauce , mix well and remove off heat.


Your Filling and Cover is ready. Now just the formation and steaming of Momos is left + The Dip.

3). Dry Red Chillies : 4-5
4). Garlic : 3-4 Cloves
5). Ginger : 2 Inch
6). Vinegar : 1 Teaspoon

8). Salt To Taste

Procedure :

1). Take all the ingredients (except last 6,7,8 in the above list) in a vessel and keep it to boil for about 15-20 minutes.

Tip : To manage the time , Kneading the dough and keeping these ingredients to boil should be done at the very start so that both can get proper time , and we can get the perfect result.


2). Once you see that the skin of tomato is peeling of and chillies have swollen , you can remove the vessel of heat.


3). Let it cool for few minutes and then strain off the remaining water out of it.

4). Now , grind them in a grinder in a fine paste. Add salt , red chilly powder and vinegar . 


5). Mix well . Dip is also Ready. Garnish with coriander if you wish to.




Formation and Steaming of Momos :

So now , Basically everything is ready except the formation and steaming part. Lets start with it. You have something like below picture with you.



1). Roll out a big circular chapati out of the dough , cut small same sized circles with some sharp steel bowl or cup :P



2). Pick one circle in hand , place some filling in it ( depends on the size of circle). Pinch the corners.



3). Now , do few more pinches (You can shape them as per your wish. This is just one type of shape).



4). Join all the edges and seal them properly.


Once all the momos are shaped in properly , you can steam them just like Idly /Dhokla in the container for 10-12 minutes.

Serve these momos hot with the spicy tomato dip. Enjoy friendz.....
