Egg roll

Ingredients

  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Oil
  • Red onion
  • Cucumber
  • Green chilli
  • Coriander leaves
  • Eggs
  • Chaat masala
  • Fresh lemon juice

Method

  • Start by making the dough. Take a mixing bowl. Add 2 and ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix thoroughly. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and start to knead the ingredients together. Pour warm water slowly to let the ingredients slowly shape into a soft dough. Keep the dough aside, and with a cloth, cover it, letting it rest for a good 30 minutes.
  • Next, to make the filling, prepare the veggies. Slice 1 big red onion and 1 cucumber. Put them in a big mixing bowl. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and thinly chopped green chillies. Throw in some coriander leaves as well for a refreshing taste.
  • For the next step, take out the dough prepared earlier. Make small balls and roll them out into a thin sheet. Place it on a pan at medium heat with heated oil. Press and rotate the paratha and cook on both sides. Make sure it's well cooked.
  • Crack an egg and whisk it in a bowl. Add salt for taste. Pour the whisked egg onto the cooked paratha. Let it cook for some time, and gently flip it.
  • After it has been cooked, arrange the onion, cucumber, coriander, and green chillies onto the egg side of the paratha. Add chaat masala and ketchup. Wrap the bottom of the paratha coll with paper, ensuring it's properly sealed, and the veggies won’t fall out.

Kalakand

Ingredients

  • 1 can of condensed milk
  • Crushed Paneer
  • ½ tsp cardamom powder,
  • Chopped nuts
  • Rose water or kewra water (optional)

Method

  • Grease a small tray and align a parchment paper in it. Set aside.
  • In a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan, add condensed milk and paneer. Mix well and combine everything well. On medium heat, stirring continuously.
  • The mixture in the pan will develop a thin consistency soon. But keep stirring until the consistency thickens.
  • Turn down the heat and keep stirring until it has become thick. Keep stirring for about 8-9 minutes.
  • Be mindful to not overcook; the mixture needs to be moist and juicy, not completely dry.
  • As the mixture begins to leave the sides of the pan but is still juicy, pour it into the greased tray onto the parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle nuts and, with the help of a spatula, make the mixture even across the tray.
  • Refrigerate the kalakand for at least 2 hours until it sets into a soft, crumbly cake. Cut into your desired shapes. Make sure to remove the kalakand at least 30-60 minutes before serving. Kalakand is a perfect dessert recipe.
