We have seen some of the classic monsoon recipes in the previous parts. But, this time, we at Hafele tried to twirl the recipes and have attempted to get some of the not-so-common homemade monsoon delicacies you will love to relish on a breezy, rainy evening.
Instant Bhadang in Microwave
Let’s start with an easy-to-make and instant recipe Bhadang, primarily used as an evening snack in every Indian household. The dish is both tasty and healthy for easy digestion.
Ingredients:
- 500 gm puffed rice
- 50 gm roasted peanuts(optional)
- 1 pinch Hing
- 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
- 1 or 2 green chilies or as per your taste
- Salt as per taste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 small spoon of vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 10-12 curry leaves
Method
- Place a deep Kadhai on your ZETA Plus 480 Built in Hob from Hafele. Add oil and heat it sufficiently for the basic tempering.
- Chop the green chilies with slight slanting cuts.
- Add cumin & mustard seeds and green chilies to the oil and allow it to temper until you hear the last crackling sound of mustard seeds.
- Now add peanuts to the tempered ingredients
- Next, add the rest of the items, like hing, turmeric powder
- Once done with the tempering, add puffed rice and salt as per your taste and give a final mix.
- Garnish it with some finely chopped onions, coriander, and tomato if you wish.
Your Garma-Garam Bhadang is ready to be served!
Do not add the garnish to all of it, as Bhadang is a snack you can store for a longer time. You can also store this in an airtight container and munch on it whenever you like.
The stored Bhadang might get soft with time, so every time you crave it, take as much as you wish to eat in a microwave-safe bowl and reheat it in your Hafele’s J34MWO Plus Microwave Oven for around 2 minutes.
The best thing about this oven is it won’t burn your Bhadang. Reheating the Bhadang in a kadhai on a gas hob might not heat it uniformly.
Plus, you will have to constantly fear burning it, as puffed rice is easily burnable.
But with J34MWO, you don’t have to worry about burning as the oven’s convection mode helps heat the food uniformly without charring it.
Baked Kachori
