Tiranga Recipes

Ingredients:

For filling:

Prawns 100gm
Sesame Oil 40ml
Potato Starch 100gm
Castor Sugar 5gm
Salt (as per taste) 5gm

Method:

For dough:

In a medium bowl, combine the wheat starch 80gm, potato starch 100gm, and a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center and pour in about 150ml of the boiling water. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir. The dough will look white and shaggy.

Add the oil, stirring it into the dough. If the dough looks dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of boiling water. If it looks too wet, add a bit more wheat starch. The dough should have the consistency of modelling clay. Transfer the dough to an unfloured work surface and knead by hand until it’s very white and smooth for about 3-5 minutes. Cut the dough into 3 or 4 pieces, according to the dumpling recipe you’re using, place into a bowl and cover it with a lid, then set aside to rest for 15 minutes.

For filling:

Take a small ball of dough of about 1-inch diameter. Roll it into a thin round disc of about 2 inches in diameter. Make sure the casing is thin, else it will not cook thoroughly and won’t let the prawn fillings cook evenly. Now let’s stuff the fillings. Take about a teaspoon of the prawn filling and place the filling in the centre of the disc. Carefully shape the disc into a dumpling. Steaming time will be according to the temperature of your steamer.

3. Tiranga Yakhni Pulao

Every Indian at heart loves a relishing pulao. We bring you the Tiranga Yakhni Pulao by Executive Chef Prashant Bhoir of Kebab Corner. This Pulao is one of those Tiranga Recipes made with tender Mutton and is packed with the best Indian masalas for everyone to enjoy this classic dish.

Ingredients:

For Mutton:

Mutton (cut into pieces) 1kg
Saffron 1gm
Big onion, finely sliced 1
Ginger chopped 2 pieces
Garlic cloves chopped 12
Bay leaves 2
Green cardamoms 4-5
Kashmiri chilli paste 2tbsp
Mace whole 2-3
Cloves 6-7
Fried onion 2tbsp
Curd beaten 2 cups
Desi ghee 3-4tbsp
Mutton stock or water 2 cups

For Pulao:

Desi ghee 2tbsp
Basmati rice 2cups
Mutton stock 4cups
Salt to taste 5gm or as per taste

Method:

Heat the ghee and add all the whole garam masalas bay leaf, cardamom, mace & cloves. Once the masala starts to splatter, add the chopped ginger and chopped garlic. As the ginger garlic starts to get golden brown, add the sliced onion and cook till it is translucent and soft. Add the beaten curd and cook till all the water from the curd is evaporated.

Add the Mutton and saute it for 5 to 7 minutes, add salt and saffron, and close the lid of the cooker. Generally, it takes around 4 to 5 whistles of the Pressure cooker for mutton to cook. Meanwhile, we can start with the Pulao, wash and drain the basmati rice, and keep the mutton stock on heat till it comes to a boil. Take a heavy bottom pot with a tight lid, heat it on low flame add the ghee to the pot.

Add the washed basmati rice and stir it slowly without breaking the rice, once it is slightly coated with fat, add the boiling mutton stock and close the lid and let it cook on low heat. Meanwhile, we will make the mint drizzle in a blender jar, add the mint oil, salt, and sugar and blend it into as fine a paste as possible and leave it aside.

When the rice is almost 80% cooked, switch off the gas. Once the Mutton is cooked, top it up with the rice and fried onion, continue to cook till the rice is well cooked. Serve it hot with a drizzle of mint drizzle on top and accompanied by any raita of your choice.
