Persian Wedding Rice #Sikandalouscuisine My adaptation of Presian wedding rice - it's golden , glistening and so pretty! Flavours laced with butter and spices , piled with nuts and gem colored fruits. In Iran, it is typically served at weddings or other celebrations and I am told the crust should be a bit more burnt ,and each guest gets a bit of that burnt crust too for added flavour .  I was planning on making the recipe from ZAHAV but found it a bit bland , so brought in more elements from David Tanis's recipe and together the recipes worked beautifully. 2 Cups Basmati rice Kosher Salt  6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter. 1 Large Onion Diced Small. ¼ Teaspoon Saffron - Crumbled and soaked in 1/4 cup hot water. A large Pinch EACH of ground cinnamon , ground cardamom ,  ground allspice, black pepper , ground cumin. ⅓ d Cup  EACH chopped dried apricots,dried prunes and date along with blanched slivered almonds , chopped pistachios. PREPARATION 1. Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a large pot with 2 tablespoons of kosher salt. Add the rinsed rice and boil, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, then drain well in a colander. 2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, season lightly with salt and cook until softened and lightly colored . Moisten with 1 tablespoon saffron water and stir in the cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, black pepper and cumin. Cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the apricots, raisins (or currants) and barberries (or cherries or cranberries). 3. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Spread half the par-cooked rice over the bottom of the pot. Spoon over the onion-fruit mixture, then the remaining rice. Leave the pot on the flame, uncovered, for 5 to 8 minutes to gently brown the rice. (Do not stir or move the rice — you will need to rely on your nose to tell if the rice has browned.) 4. Drizzle the remaining saffron water over the rice and put on the lid. Adjust the heat to very low and leave undisturbed for 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. #persiancuisine #pulao #persianweddingrice #ricerecipes (at Sikandalous Kiitchen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHHhBjKpgOy/?igshid=1ukd759zi5rvg

Fish Green Masala #sikandalouscuisine I had made this and a prawn dish just before lockdown , but did not post it as that Time we all were running around trying to get organised and most like me didnt have fish etc at home. Things are better now - and here is what I had cooked a few weeks back Fish Green Masala #sikandalouscuisine Easy and delicious - fish cooked in banana leaf done two ways . 1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard Seeds. 1 Tablespoon Black Mustard Seeds. 4-5 Green Chillies - Adjust. 4 Tablespoons Chopped Green Dhania. 1 Heaped Teaspoon Garlic Paste. 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice. 1 Teaspoon Hung Curd. Salt. Make a chutney , set aside for 20 minutes for flavours to develop then taste and adjust .The flavours should be on the sharper / stronger side . Apply this chutney on fish of your choice . I used it on a whole pomfret wrapped in a banana leaf and cooked 6-7 minutes on each side on a lightly oiled non stick pan . Another time I made small banana leaf wrapped fillet packets which I steamed on an idli stand in a cooker without the whistle for about 15 minutes. Atul Sikand Director, Asian Hawkers Market Pvt.

Taka Pole / Buttermilk Pancakes Tomato Chutney #sikandalouscuisine Recipe Credits KARWAR CUISINE  This is a lovely pancake from a small coastal town knows as Karwar in Karnataka . This book is a gem and is written to preserve and promote the cuisine of this town which is near extinct due to migration. 2 Cups Rice. 1/2 Cup Sour Buttermilk. 1/4 Cup Jaggery. Salt Soak rice overnight in some water , drain and grind to paste with buttermilk. Add jaggery and salt , some buttermilk if needed to get a dropping consistency. Pour some batter onto an oiled pain , in 15 seconds you will see some bubbles , flip , cook another 10 seconds and serve with a spicy chutney. The author served these pancakes with a ginger , coconut and green chili chutney. I used tomato chutney , recipe shared below. Golbhenda Ko Achaar ( Nepali Tomato Chutney ) 4 Red Tomatoes. 3-4 Flakes Garlic. 3-4 Dried Red Chillies. A pinch of Timur Powder. ( Make w/o if you don't have it ) 5-7 Green Chilies ( With Slits ) 80-100 Ml Mustard Oil. 1. On a hot tawa / pan dry roast the red chilies till they change color , for that smokey flavor you can char one . Set aside for later use. Roast the tomatoes on the tawa till the skin shrivels and they break . Charred skin is an asset her ! Retain all pulp and juices. 2. On a sil grind the red chilies and garlic , then mash the tomato pulp into it , make a semi lumpy paste .Add salt and timur powder. Place the chutney in a bowl . 3. Next heat the oil , when smoking add the green chilies and keep for a few seconds on the flame and pour it all over the chutney . Mix and eat with just about anything , it's delicious ! Keeps forever in the fridge . Don't hold back on the oil ! #atulsikand Director, Asian Hawkers Market Pvt.

Rustic Atta Besan Biskut #sikandalouscuisine Preheat Oven 180 C - Bake 15-17 minutes We all have " accidents " in the kitchen - undercooked /  overcooked / Burnt ! Well my desi atta besan biscuits were a mix of baked and a bit over baked. While these biskuts won't win any biskut beauty contest trust me they tasted awesome . 1 Cup Atta. 2 Tablespoons Besan 20 Almonds Coarsely Chopped - Optional. 60-70 Grams Grated Jaggery / Gur. 40 + 40 Grams Chilled Butter and Ghee - You can use both or either. 3-4 Tablespoons Milk - If needed. 1/2 Teaspoon Elaichi / cardamom Powder. Pinch of Crushed Black Peppercorn.  Mix besan and atta add in spice and using your finger and thumbs work in butter and ghee to get a breadcrumb consistency . Next add jaggery and almonds if using and bring together the mixture , you aren't making atta for roti so no kneading , just bring it all together. Try forming small balls , if they hold well and good , if not add in milk and make balls. You can lightly flatten them or leave them as they are and set them to bake. I overbaked mine -17 minutes , I guess the perfect even look would be 15 minutes. However I think I would stick with 17 minutes as I loved that caramelized flavour. #atulsikand #sikandalouskitchen Director, Asian Hawkers Market Pvt.
