COUNTRY APPLE PIE


Country Apple Pie. It was my first try and it turned out to be great :D

Grease the base of pie dish and dust with flour. Keep ready.
Pastry dough;
225g flour – sift into a big bowl
100g salted soft butter – add and rub into flour with fingers until mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
3 tb sp fine sugar – add and mix
1 egg - beat slightly and add
1 tb sp cream – add
Press dough into a ball, cover bowl with a damp cloth and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Remove the rim of the springform and roll out the dough 3 mm (1/8th) thick over the base. Cut away the overlapping part then fit the rim back to the base. Make a thin roll from about half of the remaining dough and place it around the inner side of the springform. Pull the roll upwards with fingertips and press firmly to the rim making a 3 cm high edge. Prick the base with a fork several times, so that the steam can escape while baking.
Sprinkle the base with some breadcrumbs or semolina (suji) and a handful of coarsely ground walnuts. Place into the refrigerator until the filling is ready.
Filling;
1 kg apples – peel and dice
1 glass (200 ml) apple juice – add
½ lime – add
100-120 g sugar – add
1 cinnamon stick – add and bring all to boil, then simmer until the apples are soft and all juices has evaporated. Remove cinnamon stick and lime and blend.
1 tb sp vanilla custard powder – mix into the apple sauce
Cool the apple sauce before spooning it into the pie dish. Make a smooth surface with the back of the spoon.
Roll out the remaining dough, cut stripes and decorate the tart in a lattice fashion, attaching the ends firmly to the edge of the pie and brush the strips with egg white.
Preheat the oven 10 mins before baking
Bake the pie in medium hot oven for about 30 minutes or until dough turns golden brown. Keep checking

nepali meat

Nepali Bhutwa ( Dry Mutton )

1 Kg Mutton ( Pichla Raan )
1 Small Onion
1 Tablespoon Garlic Paste
1 Tablespoon Ginger Paste
1/2 Teaspoon Methi Seeds
1 Teaspoon Ajwain Seeds
3 Tablespoons Dhania Powder
1 Teaspoon Red Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Timur ( ground to a paste If you can get hold of this superb herb )
Salt
Whole Spice :
2-3 Black Cardamons
A Stick Of Cinnamon
A Bay Leaf
8-10 Black Pepper Corn

About 150 -175 Ml Mustard Oil ( Never can be too little oil ! )

Cut the mutton into small size pieces .

Smoke the mustard oil , add the whole spice , once they crackle throw in the methi seeds ( they will get dark in a few seconds ) and immediately the ajwain . Again immediately add the onions . When onions are almost dark brown add the mutton and salt . The salt will seal the meat and the juices within !

'Bhuno' ( wok fry ) the mutton on a medium high flame for 10-15 minutes till it changes color and gets a bit dark , bhuno well scraping the bottom and evenly cooking the mutton . Next add about 100 ml of water and cook covered over medium heat till the mutton is 90 % done.

Meanwhile mix the garlic , ginger and dhania powder in enough water to make a flowing paste . Tilt the wok to a side to get the oil to one side into which you pour the paste . Cook in this position a minute or two till paste is nearly cooked . Blend the paste back into the mutton , add the red chilli powder and timur ( if you are using ) cook covered over low heat for another 10 minutes or so till the oil separates .

This is a dry mutton dish , superb tasting .


-- 

green indian chicken


1 Chicken ( 12 pieces ).
The Marinade :
1 Cup Curd
1 1/2 Tablespoon Ginger Paste.
2 Tablespoon Garlic Paste.
4-6 Green Chili's ( Minced )
Salt
Make gashes in the chicken and marinate the chicken for a couple of hours or overnight .

Other Ingredients:
1 Onion ( pureed ).
2 Tomatoes ( pureed ).
2 Black Cardamons.
5-7 Green Cardamons.
1 Stick Cinnamon .
1 Cup Chopped Green Dhaniya ( coriander )
1 Tablespoon Kasoori Methi


In smoking mustard oil splutter the cardamons and cinnamon stick , then add the onion paste . Cook the paste till it is golden brown then add the tomato puree and cook till oil separates .
Introduce the chicken into the masaala , cook 2-3 minutes over high heat till the chicken changes color slightly , then reduce heat and cook covered till nearly done . At this stage add the chopped dhania and the Kasoori methi , mix and covered under ' dum ' till done . You may need to add a bit of water while cooking . You want to end with a thick gravy . As usual tweak the flavors .

indian lamb chops

8 -10 Mutton / Lamb Chops made out of double ribs.

The Marinade :
2 Tablespoons Garlic Paste.
2 Tablespoons Ginger Paste .
1 Teaspoon salt.
1/2 Teaspoon Crushed Black Pepper.
2 Tablespoons Thick Curd.
1 Tablespoon Oil.

To Cook Chops In :
1 Onion Chopped.
8-10 Black Peppercorns.
1 Stick Cinnamon.
2-3 Green Cardamons.
1 Teaspoon Kasoori Methi / Dried Fenugreek Leaves.
1 Tablespoon Ghee / Clarified Butter

Marinade the chops overnight . I marinade a whole lot of chops and freeze them in batches of 6-8 , using them as needed . That takes care of the preparation time when you next need to cook them .

In a deep bottom dish heat the ghee . When smoking hot throw in the peppercorns , cardamons and cinnamon . After 30 seconds add the onions , when translucent gently toss the chops in the onion masala to coat them and then spread them on the bottom of the pan . Cook over high heat 1 minute on each side . Add 1/2 cup water , cover tightly and cook over very low heat for 45 minutes to an hour , turning the chops every 15 minutes or so. When done add the methi and mix gently . At tis stage you can adjust flavors .You should end up with chops covered in a bit of masala as shown in the picture .

The chops are super succulent and tasty . Totally effortless

CHILLI DOGS

HI.MADE SOME YUM CHILLI DOGS TODAY ..THIS RECIPE IS REALLY EASY AND EXTREMELY TASTY........I QUARTERED THE RECIPE AS I NEEDED ONLY A FEW CHILLI DOGS!!!THEY WERE GOBBLED....

The chili recipe makes enough chili for 16-20 hot dogs, which may seem like a lot, but you're just getting a large spoonful with each dog. So, if you have fewer people to cook for, just use the leftover chili as a stand-alone-dish for later. If you're feeding more, just double the chili recipe. You'll be happy you made a big batch. A note on the hot dogs, get the best quality hot dog you can, we tend to look for kosher dogs. The hot dogs themselves only need to be grilled enough to be heated; they are already cooked when you take them out of the package.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
1 large onion, chopped
2 pounds ground beef
4 chopped garlic cloves
16 ounce can of tomato sauce
1 cup beef broth
2 Tbsp molasses or honey
2 Tbsp sweet paprika
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
Salt
As many hot dogs as you have people to serve
Buns for the hot dogs
Chopped red onion, for garnish
Shredded cheddar (or jack) cheese, for garnish
METHOD
1 Make the chili first. Fry the bacon over medium heat until it begins to get crispy, then add the chopped onions and fry over high heat, stirring often, until they begin to brown. Add in the ground beef and stir in well. Cook this, still over high heat and stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned. This will take a few minutes. When the beef is about halfway browned, toss in the chopped garlic and mix well.
2 Once the beef is well browned, add the tomato sauce, molasses and beef broth. Add all the spices except the cayenne and stir well. Bring to a simmer and taste. Add salt or the cayenne if it needs it. You can of course add much more cayenne or chili powder if you like things really spicy, but it’s best to taste first and then add more.
3 Let the chili cook on a gentle simmer for at least 30 minutes before you start grilling the hot dogs. You can cook it several hours if you want to, adding a little more beef broth here and there if the chili gets to dry.
4 Grill your hot dogs over medium heat until they get a light char. Grill the hot dog buns briefly if you want – no more than a minute, as they will burn fast. You can also paint the buns with vegetable oil or butter before grilling if you’d like.
TIP YOU CAN TAKE THE CENTRES OF THE BUN AND STUFF SAUSAGE IN BASICALLY..
Dog goes in bun, chili goes on top, sprinkle on chopped red onion and shredded cheese, and have at it!
