Masala Mustard Greens Patties Recipes

MASALA MUSTARD GREENS PATTIES

Steps:

• Steam the mustard greens or spinach until wilted. Set aside.
• Boil the potatoes until cooked through. Mash and set aside.
• Heat the oil until it is sizzle-hot. Add the cumin seeds. When they darken a few shades, add the green onions, garlic and jalapeno slices. Now add the masala. Sauté until the garlic is golden-brown.
• Add the peas, ginger powder, mango powder and salt and pepper. Cook until the peas are heated through.
• Dump the pan's contents into a large bowl and combine with the mashed potatoes, chickpea flour and wilted greens.
• Form this batter into 2-inch size balls. (A little larger than a golf ball). Smash it into a patty. Put the breadcrumbs or white poppy seeds in a small bowl and hold the patty over the bowl while sprinkling both sides of it for a coating.
• Spray a skillet with oil (or use a dab of oil). Place the patties in pan (we do ours one at a time) and spray more oil on the top of the patty. Alternately you can use dabs of oil. Fry each side until golden brown. Done.

HARA MASALA MURGH (GREEN MASALA CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Heat ghee or oil in a medium pot or wok for about 30 seconds over medium. Add the onion, peppercorns and cumin seeds. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken, ginger and garlic, and cook on medium-high, stirring frequently until the chicken is no longer pink or fleshy and the onions have softened, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Lower the heat to medium and stir in the chile powder and salt. Continue cooking for about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup cilantro, 1 cup mint and the Thai green chiles, and stir until all the ingredients are incorporated.
• Stir in the yogurt and almond butter. Turn off the heat and stir in the remaining ½ cup cilantro and ½ cup mint. Sprinkle with lemon juice and garam masala, if you like.
