Yummy Hearts (air fried)

Happy Valentines Day 💕

I am going to share a yummy and air fried snack in the shape of a heart as a valentines day special.

It is a very simple and easy to make snack and everyone will love it.

Quickly grab the ingredients you need

For the filling:

Potato - 2 (boiled, peeled and mashed)

Frozen or fresh green peas - 1/4 cup (blanched)

Salt - to taste

Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp

Chilli powder - 3/4 tsp (you can add more if you like spicy food)

Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp

Dry mango powder - 1/4 tsp

Garam masala - 1/4 tsp

Asafoetida - 1/4 tsp

Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped

Coriander leaves finely chopped

Cooking oil - 1 tbsp

For the dough (outer layer):

All purpose flour (maida) - 1 cup

Salt - 1/4 tsp

Caraway/Carom seeds (Omam) - 1/4 tsp

Water - 1/2 cup

Clarified butter / Nei - 2 tsp

Make a soft dough with the ingredients and let it rest for about 10 minutes or until you finish preparing the filling.

In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add the chopped onion and saute till they turn pink. Now add all the masala powders and saute for a minute or until their raw smell goes. Now add the mashed potatoes and peas and give it a good mix. Make sure all the masala and the potaotes are blended well. Finally, add the coriander leaves and mix.

Now, make lemon sized balls out of the dough and roll it into a big roti. Spread the filling with the help of a spatula and roll as shown in the picture below.

Now cut into small rounds and flatten them in such a way that when you flatten, you must see the heart shaped border of the dough and the filling in the middle.

Apply one coating of cooking spray on the air fryer plate and one on the hearts. Air fry for 10 minutes in 375°F. Turn them over and brush with a little oil and air fry for another 5 minutes.

The hearts will be very crispy, because of the clarified butter added to the dough.

The yummy hearts are ready to serve! Enjoy💕

Significance of Pillayar Nonbu

Pillayar nombu is a nombu celebrated exclusively by Naattukkottai Nagarathars. This post is intended for young chettiar couples living far from their families, who want to know about this nonbu and celebrate it at home. The significance of performing this nombu, is that we pray to Lord Ganesha, requesting him to remove all the obstacles in our life. I have heard that there are 3 versions of the story behind this nonbu. I am sharing the one that my mom has told me... A teenage girl was ill-treated by her step-mother. On karthigai deepam day, this step-mother's diamond ring was missing and she accused this girl of stealing her ring. This girl went to a pillayar temple and prayed to Lord Ganesha that she will prove herself as innocent and find the ring. So she started saying her prayers to Lord Ganesha, by removing one thread a day from her cotton saree for 21 days. She promised to the God that, when she proves her innocence, she will make the number of threads she has on that day as...

Moringa Leaves Chutney Powder / முருங்கைக்கீரை பொடி

Moringa Leaves Chutney Powder In my childhood, we used to live in a big single family home with lots of trees and flowering plants. There was almost every tree in our backyard. You name it, we will have it! For example, Coconut trees, Mango tree, Guava Tree, Pomegranate tree, Banana Tree, Moringa Tree, and the list goes on...... Hmm, we come across a lot about the Moringa Trees, and the goodness of their leaves nowadays. The vegetable from this tree is called Drumsticks. We can cook delicious dishes with these drumsticks, with a combination of lentils or just a curry which will be yummy with cooked rice varieties, idli or dosa.
