Our Recipes
Every week in our newsletter, we share a “recipe” either from the Cress Menu, a Cooking Class, or just something that we hope you will enjoy, try, and most importantly, make your own. Sometimes, the recipe will be without measurements, rather only ingredients. Sometimes, we will try to include suggested amounts to accomplish the desired flavour profile. But we must be clear that those measurements aren't meant to be taken too seriously (except in the case of vinaigrettes, classical sauces, or desserts). Please feel free to drop us a line as we will enjoy reading your feedback should you decide to try them, so please do not hesitate to let me know. Click on the links on the right to view the recipes.
| ONION PAKORA (FRITTERS) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
INGREDIENTS 2 large red onions, sliced thinly 2 tbs peeled and grated fresh ginger 1 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp garam masala 1 cup dried garbanzo beans flour (besan) 1 bunch, fresh cilantro, chopped kosher salt, to taste vegetable or peanut oil, for frying PROCEDURE In a large bowl, mix all the spices and salt into the onions and set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the frying oil to 350 F. Now add the garbanzo flour into the onions a bit at a time until it is possible to form a loose medium sized "ball". Note: Do not pack the forms too tightly but just enough so they hold together. Drop them into the heated oil and fry until golden brown. You will have top turn them in the oil as you would donuts so that they fry evenly and on all sides. Drain on a sheet tray lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh cilantro and enjoy by themselves or with a cilantro and mint yoghurt. |
