Kernels from two ears of corn, 2 chopped scallions, hand full of chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar, 1 egg, some corn atta, about 1/4 cup AP flour, 1-2 tbsp sooji, salt and pepper. Mix everything and make small pancakes on cast iron and shallow fry on both sides.
This one is in memory of one of my best friends' mom....S. used to bring this in her lunchbox and I ate it all up....Today I wanted to make it for my daughter, so I called up S.'s older sister for the recipe..this one's for you, Masi! Chop Bhinda in slices. Heat oil (slightly more, cause it's bhindi). Add mustard seeds, a few methi seeds (rai:methi=4:1), a pinch of hing and turmeric. Add bhinda, stir and cook on a medium flame without covering. Once it's almost cooked, add red chilli powder, dhana-jeeru powder, salt and a bit of sugar to taste. Finish cooking. This recipe transports me right back to that corner house in Kharkar Ali...
