Hello Friends
Happy Sunday to all of you! And for those in India, Good Morning! 😊
Spring is in the air in my part of the world and this has put me in an upbeat mood. 👍🏼 In fact after 6 long months this weekend is the first time I have gone out without warm jackets or caps etc. I decided to welcome spring by cooking something special and I was in a mood to experiment...😉

So my mind went back to the post Deepali made last week where she had posted Tarla Dalal's recipe for HCKK with MM. I must admit ever since I read the recipe I wanted to try the kadhi' simply because the dish seemed to be choc-ful of protein. And that's what I cooked! 😳

The MM is for another day, another experiment. You can find the recipe in this post: https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/kuch-toh-log-kehenge/3518949/kuch-toh-log-khanna-kahenge-hckkmm

And here is the result...



Now I did improvise from the original recipe...
1. I used frozen green channa and used half chana and half sprouted moong.
2. After cooking the channa and moong, I pulsed it a bit in food processor.
3. I reduced the number of garlic cloves and ginger.
4. I did not use any green chilis, used only a little bit of red chili powder.
The last two (numbers 3 and 4) I specifically did for my son.

As mentioned earlier I did not make MM but I decided to make puris instead. 😛 Sunday lunch turned out to be HCKK with Puris...



Verdict:
This dish is surprisingly very tasty. Hmm, yummy!! 👍🏼
My 4 1/2 year old son probably ate one of his fastest lunches and even took a second serving. 😆
And my husband thinks there is some use to being a member of the forum after all! ! 🤪

Warning: If you are a good cook and its your first time making this dish allocate an extra hour.

P.S:

Deepa (jayanti_dj), I know that you had also posted a recipe long back but that was way too long ago to remember when. So I did not search for it. Hope you do not mind.

For those of you that are lazy like me and never go back to an old post, I am copying over Tarla Dalal's recipe from Deepali's post. 😃 Thanks a lot Deepali for looking up this recipe.

1 1/2 cups sprouted moong (whole green gram) or 1 1/2 cups fresh hara chana (green chick peas)
1 coconut
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp cornflour
oil
salt to taste

To be ground into a paste
3/4 cup chopped coriander (dhania)
7 green chillies
12 mm. (1/2") piece ginger (adrak)
6 cloves of garlic (lehsun)
2 tsp lemon juice
4 to 5 spinach (palak) leaves

For the methi muthias
1 1/2 cups chopped methi bhaji
1/3 cup whole wheat flour (gehun ka atta)
a pinch asafoetida (hing)
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp chilli powder or 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
2 tbsp hot oil
oil for deep-frying

For the garnish
chopped coriander (dhania)

Method
