Home made Sweet potato fries.

A quick snack for the evening! Yes this is the recipe which is easy and healthy.

Ingredients:
Sweet-potatoes: 3-4 numbers.( serves 4 people)/ I happened to find the white sweet potato.
Olive oil: Few spoons.
Italian seasoning.
Salt and black Pepper.
Preheated oven 450 F.

Method:

Cut the sweet potatoes into long strips a little thicker than regular fries, leave the skin on.

Put the fries onto a baking sheet and coat them with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, Italian seasoning. If you want it spicy add a few sprinkles of chilli powder.

Once they are coated well, put the fries into the preheated oven(450F).

Let them bake for 6-8 mins on one side then turn them with a spatula. The fries should turn slightly golden and crisp which will take another 5-7 mins. Allow them to cool for a few mins and serve them with ketchup.

Coco-Choclate Burfi.

This dessert was created on a day when I wanted to make burfi and had to use maida. Since Maida-Burfi seemed very simple I wanted make it more interesting!!! So used coco which was at home and choclate which the kids love!

Ingredients:
Maida/All purpose flour-1cup.
Sugar-1 1/2cups.
Coco Powder-2 Tbsp.
Ghee-1/2 cup.
Vanilla essence- few drops.
Choclate chips-few.
Greased plate.

Method:
Start off with a heavy bottom pan on the stove on a medium flame.
Fry the raw maida till it gives you a nice aroma, this might take a few mintues. Be careful not to burn or allow the maida to change colour. Keep the maida aside and allow it to cool, check for any lumps.
 Add the sugar and few spoons of water to the heavy bottom pan and make a sugar-syrup.
Once the syrup gets to one string consistency add  maida and coco powder to the pan.
Stir continuously till the mixture is well mixed with the syrup.Now is the time to add the vanilla essence. Let the mixture cook for few minutes, then add the ghee and continue stirring.  The mixture starts to leave sides of the pan, at this point pour the mixture to the greased plate. If you want soft burfies remove it from the stove top once it starts leaving the sides of the pan or else the burfi gets hard and flakey.
Let the mixture cool in the plate for about 5 mins and try to score using a knife into desired shapes. Quickly decorate with choclate chips on  each piece before it hardens.
Allow it to cool completely and enjoy!


Note:This recipe needs a lot of stirring.
Have fun making this recipe!!!
