Egg Manchurian/Steamed Egg Cubes Manchurian - Version 2

Indo chinese dishes are always H's favourite, and i will make sure to dish out an Indo chinese dish atleast once a week from this cuisine. Indo chinese cuisine are very much known for their adapatation of cooking style depending upon Indian taste with chinese seasoning. And most of the Indo chinese dishes are seriously very quick to prepare with a different cooking process. Though Hakka noodles and fried rice from this cuisine is my favourite, kids and H love Indo chinese style manchurian. I have already dished out couple of manchurians with different ingredients, eventhough my today's recipe is quite a different one from the usual one. Egg lovers will definitely enjoy thoroughly this different version of egg manchurian, you might have noticed that my today's post is Version 2. Yes i have already posted my version of Egg manchurian, do check here for my version which calls for hard boiled eggs.

Egg Manchurian

Manchurian doesnt need any introduction, this Indo chinese foods are prepared usually with a vegetable or a meat. Marinated meat or veggies deep fried then sauteed with onions, bellpeppers along with a mixture of sauces makes this wonderful appetizier or side dish. Manchurians goes awesome with fried rice or else with a bowl of hot piping rasam rice. Recently i tried making this egg manchurian with hard boiled eggs and they came out extremely delicious.If you dont like egg yolks, you can remove it very well and make this manchurian just with cooked egg whites. You can serve this egg manchurian also along with Indian style one pot meal. A prefect crowd pleaser too, make some and am sure you will definitely love this manchurian.Sending to Srivalli's Side Dish Mela..

In case if you are going to an Indian restaurant,mychoice will always goes definitely to a main course with paneer.Srivalli gave us a list of online restaurant menu cards and my choice went to Balaji Bhavan. I want to start this week's blogging marathon with rice that too with a beautiful,catchy and delicious fried rice with our favourite 'Paneer'.

Chilly Mini Idly with Chickpeas

Usually chilly idlies are prepared with leftover idlies,i prepare my idly batter once a week. Obviously we always have leftover idlies at home. Sometimes i finish them as upma or else i'll reheat it and have with any chutneys.For the third day of blogging marathon, i combined leftover mini idlies with leftover cooked chickpeas for making this chilly idly, both together turned out dinner simply awesome.

For my surprise even my daughter who hates idlies enjoyed thoroughly and everyone at home loved it.This chilly idly goes for a easy breezy preparation,you can add very much any sort of veggies but i just went for cubed green bellpeppers and chickpeas.Since i had mini idlies, i added them directly to make this dish, in case if you have usual idly, just cut them as small cubes and make out this dish.Sending this rice to my event Healthy Diet-Fast & Quick Healthy Dish guest hosted by Kalpana.Check out the marathoners running this 22nd edition of blogging marathon here.
