DAD'S NUTRITIOUS MUTHIYAS' - AN INDIAN APPETISER WITH TOFU STUFF

Steps:

• Firstly, we'll start off by preparing the dough.
• For this, take a large mixing bowl.
• Put soya nuggests (powdered), semolina, cornflour, wheat flour, rice flour and gramflour in a bowl.
• Using a spoon, mix well, from top to down.
• Keep potato (diced) to boil in the meantime in water on the stove and boil until tender.
• Now prepare the yellow moong dal paste.
• For this, put yellow moong dal (pre-soaked for 15 minutes in water,cleaned, washed and drained) in a mixie alongwith a little water and prepare a somewhat coarse paste.
• Likewise, prepare the greenpeas paste.
• Add yellow moong dal paste, green peas paste, the boiled and grated potato, corriander leaves, green chillies, red chilli powder, salt and oil.
• Grease your palms slightly.
• Mix all the ingredients in the bowl nicely together to prepare a soft dough.
• Keep aside.
• Now, it's the turn of the filling.
• To prepare this, take a medium-sized mixing bowl.
• Put all the ingredients mentioned under'filling' in this bowl and knead well using your palm.
• Keep aside.
• Now, take a wok and put oil in it.
• Keep it on medium-high flame and allow the oil to become nice and hot.
• In the meantime, start making the muthiyas'.
• For this, make small round balls out of the prepared soft dough.
• Add a little filling in the middle of each.
• Roll well, giving it a long shape (like vegetable spring rolls) in your palm.
• Likewise, repeat for all the round balls.
• Now, deep fry the muthiyas' till golden brown.
• Drain excess oil on clean kitchen napkins.
• Place all the muthiyas' in a clean oven-proof dish.
• This, I suggest, so that re-heating the muthiyas' will be easy if need be (I prepared mine today for my Diwali party an hour in advance and I love serving appetisers hot, so, I put mine after draining off the excess oil, in an oven proof dish and re-heated them for 3 minutes, until they were nice and hot and ready to serve).
• Serve with green chutney and/or tomato ketchup.
• Be ready to go into the kitchen and start making another batch, because, you're sure to be called"Kitchen Appetiser Queen" once your family and friends' gobble these down hungrily and ask for more.

SKILLET LINGUICA WITH PASTA

Steps:

• In a large deep skillet over medium-high heat add olive oil and sauté the onions until soft and translucent.
• Add the sausage, salt and pepper and sauté together for another 5 minutes.
• Add the chopped garlic and stir in for a minute.
• Add in the remaining ingredients of diced tomatoes, chicken broth, water, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper, and uncooked pasta.
• Stir everything together and bring to a boil, cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a slow simmer. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
• Taste and adjust seasoning to taste if needed.
