Cuisine: Indian
Category: Snacks
Serves: 2
Prep time: 10 Minutes
Cook time: 20 Minutes
Total time: 30 Minutes
 
1 cup = 250ml
  • Chickpeas / Kabuli Chana / kondakadalai - 2 cups
  • Cooking oil - few tbsp as required
For masala mix/ spice mix / seasoning
  • Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
  • Chat masala - 1 tsp
  • Aamchur powder – 1/2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Salt - as needed
HOW TO MAKE ROASTED CHICKPEAS IN AIR FRYER
  1. Wash and soak chickpeas/chana in sufficient water for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain the water completely and take 1 cup of soaked chana.
  3. Make the masala spice mix by mixing all the spice powders and salt.
  4. Spread 1 cup of chana. Set the timer to 15 minutes at 200c.
  5. Remove the basket after 5 minutes. It becomes completely dry in the first 5 minutes.
  6. Drizzle few drops of oil and mix well.
  7. Continue cooking for 10 minutes by shaking the tray in every 5 minutes.
  8. After 13 minutes, chickpeas would have been roasted well and crispy.
  9. Add 1/2 tsp spice mix powder and air fry for remaining 2 minutes.
  10. Check for taste and crispness. If not crispy, roast for 2 more minutes. Mine took around 18 minutes.
  11. Once done, transfer to a bowl. Add 1 tsp spice mix required for this batch and shake well. Cool down and store in a box.
  12. Air fry the next batch of chickpeas in the same procedure.
  13. Spicy roasted chick peas is ready. You can store and enjoy it for a week.
METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES
  • Wash and soak 2 cups of chickpeas in a wide bowl adding sufficient water. Soak it for 8 hours or overnight.

  • Chickpeas increases in quantity after soaking. Drain the excess soaked water completely and set aside. Take 1 cup of soaked chickpeas and set aside.
  • Take the air fryer basket and spread 1 cup of chana. Do not crowd them. Spread it well. Now close the air fryer basket and set the timer to 15 minutes. Keep the temperature at 200 degree c / 390 degree F.
  • After 5 minutes, open the basket. Chana would have dried completely. Now drizzle few drops of oil and shake it well to spread the oil over the chickpeas.
  • In the mean time, take a bowl. Mix red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, aamchur powder, chat masala to make the spice mix / seasoning mix. Cook for the remaining 10 minutes, by shaking it for every 5 minutes. Total cooking time is 15 minutes.
  • When there is about 2 minutes left, add 1/2 tsp of spice mix. Shake well and cook for the remaining 2 minutes. Adding less spice powder and cooking for 2 minutes at the end helps to roast the chickpeas without having the spice mix burnt or fall off from it. 
  • After 17 minutes, check for taste and crispness of chana. If its not crispy, roast for 2 to 3 minutes more. Mine took 18 minutes. So keep an eye after 15 minutes to prevent over roasting.
  • Make sure chickpeas is not burnt by over cooking. Once done, transfer the roasted chana to a bowl. Add the remaining spice mix required for this batch. If needed you can drizzle a tsp of cooking oil to coat the spice mix with chana. Cool down and then store in an air tight box. 
  • Follow the same steps and roast the remaining soaked chana. Store them after cooling down and enjoy up to 2 weeks. It stays crispy.

    Enjoy with tea/ coffee or pack it for your kids and husband’s snacks box !

Note

  • After soaking, drain the water completely. No need to spread the chana and dry in open air. It becomes dry by cooking in air fryer in 5 minutes.
  • Roasting time of chana differs based on the model of air fryer. Mine took around 18 minutes for first batch. So keep an eye after 15 minutes.
  • Do not add all the spice mix while the chana is roasting. It gets burnt. So a little quantity of spice mix/seasoning at the end of cooking and add the remaining after transferring to the bowl.
  • For variations, you can make seasoning with garlic powder, pepper powder etc.

Bread Butter Jam Toast / Sandwich Recipe

Bread butter jam

Bread Butter Jam Recipe is the simplest and the basic sandwich recipe even a kid can make it easily. Usually kids make this for fireless cooking in school competitions.  I still remember this was my breakfast during our honey moon in Srilanka in a Five star hotel😀.

 Here in Bangalore, I have tasted bun butter jam in small sandwich shops and I just love it. Today I made the same using fresh bread slices. I think most of the moms pack this bread butter jam for their kids school lunch box or snacks box as it can be prepared easily under few minutes. In my case, I have never packed this for Raksha as she is not a big fan of jam based recipes. Somehow she hates the sweet taste in store bought jams. But myself and Sendhil likes to have it once in a while for our breakfast during weekends.

So last Sunday, I made this for ourselves and plain bread toast with butter for Raksha which is her favorite. As we all know, the plain bread butter jam is not a healthy choice for kids. Consuming it once in a while is not an issue but I won’t recommend to eat it regularly. So, to make it more healthy and interesting, we can add some toppings like chopped nuts, sliced fruits, sliced avocado, cheese etc.

You can play with your imaginations and do it based on your kids likings. You can serve it raw or toast it as I did. Tastes good in either ways. But use fresh or 1 day old bread slices for best taste. Now lets see how to make the simple and basic bread butter jam recipe with step by step pictures.

  • Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp
  • Water – Few drops
  • Baking soda – 1/8 tsp
HOW TO MAKE CARAMEL POPCORN ON THE STOVE WITH WHITE SUGAR
  1. Unpack the readymade popcorn and add to a heavy bottomed kadai or pressure cooker.
  2. Saute in high flame for a minute. When it starts to pop, close the vessel with a lid partially.
  3. Let it pop. Shake the vessel back and forth in between to pop it completely. Switch off the flame once its done.
  4. Transfer the popcorn to a plate. Heat the kadai again adding sugar and butter.
  5. Mix well to melt the sugar and butter. After the sugar is melted completely, lower the flame.
  6. Keep mixing till the color of sugar turns golden brown and caramelize. Add vanilla essence and switch off the flame.

  8. Add the popcorn and mix well to coat them.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES
  • Heat a heavy bottomed kadai or pressure cooker. Unpack the readymade popcorn packet. I added 1/4 cup of raw popcorn kernels. If you don't have popcorn packet, use maize kernels/ dried corn kernels you get in the market.
  • Heat  2 to 3 tbsp oil in a pressure cooker bottom. Add 1/4 cup of corn kernels, mix well. Then proceed as mentioned below.   

  • Keep the flame high and Saute quickly for a minute. Popcorn starts to pop. Cover the vessel with a lid immediately. Keep the flame medium and shake the kadai back and forth to pop the corn kernels completely.

  • Once the popcorn is ready switch off the flame. Transfer the hot popcorn to a plate. Set aside.

  • Heat sugar and soft butter in a kadai. Let the sugar melts in butter. Keep the flame completely low and mix till sugar changes to golden brown in color.
  • Add vanilla essence, mix well and switch off the flame. Add baking soda and mix till the syrup becomes frothy and light. Do the process quickly. Do not burn the syrup. Beginners, please keep the flame low during caramelization process.

  • Now add the popcorn and mix it from the bottom and toss gently to coat the syrup with popcorn. Transfer it to a plate lined with butter paper. (Optionally you can bake in a preheated oven for one hour by mixing it once in 15 minutes to make super crunchy popcorn. But I skipped this step). Let it become warm.
  • Break the lumped ones into pieces and enjoy immediately. Store the remaining in an air tight bottle and use it within 2 days.

  • Enjoy !

Note

  • Do not add more sugar. The ratio of popcorn kernels and sugar is 1:2.
  • Do the syrup process in low flame to avoid burning.
  • If you burn the syrup, taste will spoil.
  • Do not skip vanilla essence. It adds a great flavor.
  • Popcorn turns soggy if you expose in air for long time. So keep it closed in an air tight box. 
Friends, do try this easy, yummy caramel popcorn at home. You will love it.

Egg Drop Biscuits Without Oven / Kerala Mutta Biscuit / Bean Biscuits / Coin Biscuit Recipe

 Egg biscuits recipe

Today’s recipe is a bakery style, my childhood favorite egg biscuit which is called by different names such as egg drop biscuits, mutta biscuits, bean biscuits, coin biscuit, baby biscuit , button biscuit etc. I never knew this biscuit is popular in Kerala bakery. When I was young, my dad used to take me to a small bakery near my house in Salem, Tamil nadu. My mom and sister used to buy shrewsburry biscuits i.e Nankhatai and coconut bun whereas my choice is this humble and cute egg drop biscuit. I used to call this as button biscuit or yellow biscuit. I buy a big pack and eat it all alone without sharing with anyone at home😉.

Its so addictive !! I love its mild sweetness, cute looks with an awesome vanilla flavor. Even now whenever I visit Lakshmi bakery in Salem, I never forget to pick a pack of this egg drop biscuits. Nowadays we get this egg drop biscuits in different flavors like chocolate, orange, pineapple, mango etc. But I like this original vanilla flavored ones.

During this lockdown period, I came across this mutta biscuit recipe in my Facebook and Instagram feeds. Being a vegetarian, I was hesitant to use egg in my kitchen to bake this biscuit. I also asked few people to suggest eggless options for this biscuit but majority of the answers were NO. Finally I made up my mind and tried this recipe for the first time yesterday.

 I referred so many Youtube videos and Shravskitchen for this recipe. I took Raksha’s help for shaping the biscuits and baked it successfully. Even though its my first attempt, it came out so well. It can be prepared easily even if you are a beginner in baking.You can make it without oven too. So In this post, I have discussed how to make this egg drop biscuits with and without oven. I tried both at the same time. Results were equally good.

 In fact biscuits made in stove were more crispy than oven ones. Ok friends, lets see how to make this cute and yummy egg biscuit with step by step pictures.
