Fry(day) nights!

April 11, 2020

Fry(day) nights! . COVID cooking makes me appreciate the home science skills of my mom! Turning leftovers and pantry occupiers into an interesting snack... although not a first, but definitely not something that I would do very often. These masala wadas came to life from leftover cooked rice and chana dal (split chickpeas) from the pantry, which I don’t use that often. Soaked dal, turned into batter, added the leftover rice, a leftover boiled potato mashed up, some chopped onions, chopped habaneros, chopped cabbage, salt and cumin seeds. I was going to pan fry these, but the batter was too soft... so they turned into deep fried fritters! Quite yummy to say the least. Paired with a fizzy drink of Prosecco (thanks to a kind neighbor) and strawberry syrup I picked up from Mont Tremblant over the winter break... it was the perfect way to kick the weekend off! . . . . . #covidcooking #masalawada #leftoversrepurposed #fritters #deepfried #friedfood #yummy #appetizers #cookingathome #cooking #homemade #streetfood #lentils #rice #whippeduparecipe #homecooking #platedexpressions #lovetoeat #foodie #prosecco #friday #fridayvibes #fridaymood #stayhome #socialdistancing #eating #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodfoodfood #indianfood
