Chinese Chilly gobi and potato chilly(Famous Indian Street food)

Chinese cuisines are remarkable. It has marked its place more as a street food not only in India but across the globe. The taste ,simplicity and ease with which it can be prepared is what i guess has made it popular and widespread as well. Am in Germany and whenever i enter a famous mall at my place i see like most of the people with packets of noodles strolling all the way. This is just a snapshot of the popularity of Chinese cuisine.

Chicken meat balls with Spaghetti(Asian style)

I have always been fascinated by the pictures of meat balls lying over spaghetti. I never tried it with meat because of so many reason but then i realized i can simply do it with the chicken itself as chicken being low fat this would be better. I quickly went through the recipes of usual meat balls and then i knew how i was going to make it in Asian style with a little Indian touch to it.

Hainanese Rice(Singapore Style)

I have been hunting for some other ways to prepare the flavored rice other than the regular biryani and fried rice.

Am kind of bored deep frying almost every chili preparation. So this time i decided to prepare something without deep frying .Moreover i wished that it mus taste equally as good as any Chinese chili item.

I have been reading many cook books and following many chefs. They always keep a check on the amount of fat that we use in the preparation of any recipie. Its always good to use fat as little as possible but then to give space to exception its okay to consume more than a little bit sometimes. For this paneer preparation i paid special attention to garlic and ginger because i wanted the flavours of Chinese chili items. Here's the recipe:

 Ingredients:

•  Bell pepper- 2 sliced into cubes
• Spring onions - 4 sticks chopped
• Green chilly - 2 sliced
• Pepper cons / Pepper powder- 1 Tea Spoon
• Ginger-1 TSP finely chopped
• Garlic- 4 large cloves , chopped
• Corn starch/ Corn flour- 1 TSP
• Oil- 3 TSP
• Tomato- 1 diced
• Onion-1 sliced
• Salt as per taste
• Tomato sauce
• Soy sauce

Method :

• Toss the paneer cubes over the corn flour powder and pinch of salt.
• Heat 2 TSP of oil in a pan, now toss the paneer until its  golden brown from all sides.
• Take out the cubes once they are golden brown.
• Now in the same pan add 1 more TSP of oil and add the chilly and onion
• Fry for 30 sec ,add garlic and ginger, fry until light soft
• Add bell peppers , fry for 1 min, and add tomatoes and salt.
• Fry for next 1 min and finally add the tossed paneer cubes
• At this point of time add all the sauces and fry for some more time
• Make a solution of cornflour by adding 1 tea spoon to 90ml of water.
