Corn on Wheat Canapés.. Fusion Chaat

Hi!

This month has been very hectic with the kid writing his summative for the first time, both of us have been neck deep in studies. My role largely was to push him to do his best and help him with his difficulties and he was to ensure that he is thorough with his subject and does his revision properly and efficiently. I have avoided giving him any outside food and made simple, tasty and ‘chatpata’ food which he likes and eats without making fuss. And to my delight this month’s Monthly Mingle theme just helped me cook more of the ‘chatpata’ kind.

For this month’s Monthly Mingle we were given two very healthy and interesting ingredients, whole wheat and corn. I knew what I wanted to make with these as I had been planning to post it since long and the event just pushed me more.

My kid loves chaat and I find that a good way to introduce veggies and feed him. I came up with idea of making canapés using whole wheat flour and daliya (whole wheat rava) and a spicy filling of corn. The end product was so tasty and the three of us finished the entire batch of canapés in a go, it was just perfect for the cloudy weather outside . Sending this combination to Monthly Mingle#3.

Method For Making Wheat Canapés

Mix all ingredients under the heading of canapés except milk and then using milk knead a tight dough and rest for an hour. The daliya needs that much time to soak the milk and soften.

Take a ping-pong ball size dough and roll it to a 4mm thickness. Using cutters, cut different shapes. I used different shape cutters, to make them look more attractive. Prick with the fork, so that the canapés do not puff.

Deep fry the canapés on a medium flame till crispy and golden in colour. Remove them on the kitchen towel.
For the filling, boil the corn without salt (else it hardens) and strain. Heat a tea spoon oil and on high flame and tip in the corn. Sauté and mix all spice powders. Switch off flame and mix.

Prepare the green chutney and the curds by using the ingredients mentioned under their respective headings.
Assembling the Canapés
Place the canapés on the plate, place 1/2tsp filling on each, followed by the green chutney and curds. Sprinkle the Nylon sev and garnish with pomegranate seeds and chaat masala.
Serve immediately else the canapés would soften.
