Gobi Singada

Sound so different & interesting na.
At first go, its sound like we are talking about any Indian gravy with Gobi (cauliflower) & Singada(Water chestnut), & here the twist comes. This is the Bengali snack made from Gobi & here Singada means Samosa. In Bengali, its Gobi Singada & in Panjabi we can say its Gobi da Samosa.


I got to know about this snack on discovery channel & its amazing, where Chef Rhode is travelling all over the India for exploring Indian cusine.
The stuffing preperation of this snack is different from the regular Samosa stuffing, lets see how to prepare it,,,,,,,


Ingredients:

for Stuffing:
Gobi
Aloo
Ginger
Rasins
Salt
Fennel seeds (sauf)
oil

for dough:
Refined flour(maida)
Salt
Oil
Ajwain
Water

Oil for frying


Method:

• Make a hard dough with flour, salt, ajwain, little oil & water, keep aside.
• Cut gobi into small florets.
• Peel & cut aloo into small cubes.
• Crush ginger, soak rasins in water & make fennel seed powder.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in pan, add gobi & aloo, saute well.
• Add crushed ginger, salt & soaked rasins & cook well till gobi & aloo done.
• Finish with fennel powder, keep aside for cooling.
• Roll the dough in regular fashion as done for the samosa & stuff with the mixture.
• Avoid to stuff hot mixture as it will break open the samosa while frying.
• Fry the samosa in hot oil till golden brown.
• Enjoy the hot singad with spicy mint & sweet tamrind chutney.

Love for food...............

The first thing which comes into my mind as soon as i wake up is what's new I'm going to have today.....

Its not that I just think about eating but its my want to try out new things & learn something new about cooking each & every time I get chance....

Food, different types of ingredients, varieties of vegetable & fruits, different types of meats, their photaography & many more such things are so exciting that i can't leave it.... For such interesting stuff i never think twice, I'll buy books about such stuff, ll purchase such ingredients & try out new things,,,,,

My first love is cooking, when i was a kid of around 12, from then only I used to watch the cookery shows, I tried to immitate the same dishes,,,, my family members always encouraged me to opt for culinary arts as a proffession, which i did.... but we cant predict life, it will throw us any where, about which we never ever thought in our dreams too....

Never mind, now me trying to adjust with the new job, but every day i get up with the thought that I can't leave my interest like this, so trying to make sure that I should not forget my skills & loose interest for the food...

Recently, or more accurately, yesterday only my best friend started her new venture, "Al dente", the pasta delivery business. It is so amazing if u see its pamflet you will understand how appetising it is????

Her venture is again taking out my urge which I hide somewhere below all the responsibilities...
Its great to see that your friends having the same dreams as you are & they are trying to fullfill it. Making a dream come true is a very tough task... I feel proud about my friends that they are doing so... Will also do so soon....

My love for food never ever allows me to rest, it will always encourage me to do something new & make my dreams come true.....

I wish that, my dream will come to reality soon.......

Hope that, that soon will come really soon...........................

It took me almost 5-6 months to bring finishing in my work.

I almost prepared 68 cakes in the duration of 6 months of my work.

I'm in love with bakery prep., i love to make cookies & bread too, but cakes was the favourite one.

Out of all cakes i took very few snaps, lots of coustmer having it whome i sold the it.

My favourite flavour is butterscoth, most of the cakes was in butterscotch, other than that i sold, pineapple gaetaux, black forrest, Dark chocolate fantasy, ganache cake, strawbery chees cake, starwbery gaetaux, white forrest & many more,,,,,,,,,
