“Non- Fried” FALAFEL

🥙 Non-fried FALAFELS from my Appe pan!

Is there anything that an ‘Appe pan’ cannot do???

Not really 😁  These non-fried protein rich falafels came out great in the Appe pan. We wrapped them in wraps along with salad, sliced onions, tomatoes and cilantro chutney for a delicious dinner 😋

🥙  Recipe: 

1) Grind the soaked chickpeas along with cilantro, garlic, green chilies and cumin. Use minimum water as needed. Squeeze some lemon juice and mix the falafel batter. Keep in refrigerator for 1 hour. Add salt and mix again. 

2) Heat the appe pan. Brush with oil. Add spoonful of the falafel mixture. Can add few drops of oil on the sides. Cover and cook on low-medium till golden brown. Flip the falafel and cook on the other side. 

3) Serve hot wrapped in pita/ wraps along with salad, sliced onions, tomatoes and sauce/ chutney of your choice.

CHANA SAAG (Chickpeas and Spinach Curry)

Mid-week health and mood booster ☺️😍

“CHANA SAAG”

🔅 Recipe: 

1) Pressure cook soaked chickpeas and keep aside. 

2) Purée spinach into thick paste along with garlic and with minimal water. 

3) Sauté finely chopped onion with oil and cumin. 

4) Add 1 tsp ghee and 2-3 tsp whole wheat flour to the sautéed onion mixture and sauté till slightly golden. 

5) Add Kitchen king Masala, Red chili powder, turmeric, ground black pepper and sauté for few seconds 

6) Add cooked chickpeas, salt and very little water. Cook for 2-3 mins

7) Add the spinach-garlic purée, 2% milk to adjust consistency, little sugar. Cook for 3-5 mins. 

🍀☘️ Fresh green tip: 

Do not overcook the spinach curry! The color should be retained fresh green. Do not cover tightly with a lid. Let the steam escape. Steaming longer turns the spinach color to dull/ brownish green. 

Serve hot along with Chapati/ Naan/ Rice and little ghee 😋
