Corn on the Cob

The HomeChef

Corn on the cob is aĀ healthy and nutritious snack or starter. When I was a kid we used to visit the beaches where the corn will be sold by roasting over fire and coated with spices. Always delicious and yummy.

This is a similar version made at home. I have made the corn two ways in the video recipe: one way is by boiling in water and then roasting, the other way is directly roasting over the fire and coating with spices. Hope you enjoy it!

Beet with Black beans Burger/Tikki

The HomeChef

Everybody loves a burger.

I wanted to make a video of a veggie burger ever since I started this website as it is in my featured image. That burger was made with potato, carrot and beans. Usually potatoes are added in the cutlet versions in Indian recipes. But then I stepped across the beetroot burger in the freezer section in one of the supermarkets and it sounded so different and healthy. And hence this creation!

This burger made with beetroot and black beans is super delicious and checks all your boxes for a healthy version and also vegan friendly. The patties can be made small sized and enjoyed as tasty tikki or cutlets with mint chutney for starters. Enjoy it also as a burger with the French brioche bun or any burger bun with cos leaves and your preferred sauce. Eating healthy sure will bring a smile to your heart.

JalapeƱo Poppers

The HomeChef

Here is something which will make you feel hot!
I recently had this dish at a very nice restaurant and immediately added it to my try out list.

JalapeƱo with cream cheese ( JalapeƱo Poppers as it is popularly known)

An interesting fact: Joey “Jaws” Chestnut holds the Major League Eating record for jalapeƱo poppers, eating 118 in 10 minutes at the University of Arizona on 8 April 2006- Source WiKi. That is simply ‘WOW’.

Going back to the making of the dish. My try out came out well except for the outer crumb breaking a bit. Included the tip to avoid that as well in the video.

Things you need:

1. JalapeƱo – 3-4
2. Cream cheese – 5 tblsp
3. Mozzarella cheese – 3 tblsp
4. Plain flour – 1/2 cup, Corn flour – 1/4 cup mixed into a batter
5. Egg beaten – 1

7. Oil for frying and salt as needed
