Its been a while since I......

I hate my blog these days so it has been deprived of updates...What's worse, I don't feel like updating it often enough! There are things about which I want to write but can't bring myself to! for whatever reasons.....

Its been a while since I......

        wrote a blog post!

        have read other blogs and have commented on them for their good work!

        read my own posts for that matter!

        have participated in any blog events!

        was genuinly happy for a looong loong stretch of time!

        relaxed completely and peacefully looked at years to come without a trace of anxiety!

        faced myself boldly, accepted facts and sought answers!

        did something nice for someone without expecting anything in return!

        felt positive about certain things!

        have gone for swimming!

 and I feel ridiculous about not being enthusiastic about all these small little things in life...............so now I shall get to doing just that! :)

So to start with....I know its tooooo late....but they say...its better late than never....so....

Wish you and your family a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!!

This is my first post in this new year and I am very excited to post this as one of my fellow blogger Indrani  has tagged me. Thank you so much Indrani. Please visit her blog for lovely recipes. So the year starts on a good note and now as per the rule I have to answer certain questions (which I am not so sure whether i should;on the blog) and forward this tag to 10 other fellow bloggers. I think I will just get to do the latter. My Dear fellow bloggers just click here for the questions incase you want to answer them:-

 1. Priya 2. Satya 3. Kurinji 4. Malar 5. Siddhi 6. Sharmi 7. Arthi 8. Hari Chandana 9. Deepa 10. Preeti

Now let me begin with my recipe. Its Cheese and Potato Tikki.... I got an idea from one of the very popular comedy shows Sarabhai vs. Sarabhai..where Indravadan asks Maya to serve him Aloo cheese ki tikki; and thats when I thought lets just make it. so here goes the recipe:-

Boiled potatoes Medium 2-3

Grated Cheese 200 gms.
One medium size Onion fine chopped

Garlic cloves 2-3 fine chopped
Fresh Coriander leaves fine chopped
Salt to taste

White pepper powder 1 tsp.

Oil to shallow fry

Fresh Bread Crumbs 

 

1. Mash the potatoes nicely and add the fresh bread crumbs ( for fresh bread crumbs just coarsly grind 2-3 bread slices). 

2. Add salt, chopped onion, garlic, chopped coriander leaves, and white pepper powder.  

3. Make medium size balls and stuff grated cheese in the potato ball. Make sure that cheese does not come out from the covering. 

4. Heat oil and shallow fry the tikkis from both sides till they get golden brown colour. 

Serve when they're sizzling hot along with Ketch-up.
