About Recipe

My 96th recipe “Poha Croquettes”, the best evening snack for your kids and family. This is one recipe which I was eagerly waiting to try ever since I started this blog 3 months back. I usually buy poha for Krishna Jeyanthi. After using it on that day, I generally make an occasional Kanda Poha out of it. But other than that I did not have any other use for the poha and it would always be sitting in my stock pile. So this time around, I wanted to put it to good use by preparing something innovative and different from my usual Indian cuisine. Deriving inspiration from the various recipes I have seen on the Food shows and from the Arancini Balls I have tasted in an Italian restaurant here, I wanted to try to make a croquette out of the poha. For folks who are not aware, Poha is nothing but flattened rice which is widely used in Indian cooking. The croquette turned out just beautiful. A gorgeous ball which is super crispy on the outside. And once you bite into the crispy shell, you get to enjoy the mildly flavored soft and cheesy inside. And finally comes the surprise element. A super stretchy and gooey mozzarella cheese center. It is everything I want from a dish, a wonderful symphony inside my mouth :-)
