Packed potatoes

By
This is a favourite dish of mine that anyone who is brought up on the Kenyan Coast loves! Easy to make and ideal on a cold day with a cup of tea or coffee

Ingredients:

10 small potatoes boiled, peeled and cut into slices 1/2 inch thick
1 tsp chilli powder mixed with 1 tsp lime juice
1/2 cup gram flour
1/4 cup water
Salt to taste
Oil for frying

Method:


  1. Take a slice of potato and smear a layer of chilli paste on it. Cover it with another slice of potato thereby making a "packed potato". In this manner you will get at least 10 depending on the size of your potatoes
  2. Mix the gram flour with water and salt to make a batter which has a consistency similiar to what we use for making pakodas.
  3. Heat oil for frying
  4. Dip the "packed potatoes" into the gram flour and therefter fry them until golden brown
  5. Serve with tomato ketchup or coconut chutney!

Cooking time:

10-15 minutes

References: John Setzler's ' Kamodo Joe Pizza '.  John Kenall's ' Easy Pizza Dough Recipe '. Vito Lacopelli's ' How to Make Perfect Pizza Dough at Home'  and ' freeze the Pizza for later '. Goals: Everyone has so many variations for making Pizza dough. I never realized the debate of Biga vs Poolish  dough making. Before we get into all the details, I set some goals. Type : I wasn't going for Neapolitan-style, very high-heat Pizza. The t...

Mesquite smoked Tandoori Chicken on Kamodo Grill Classic 2

By
Smoked " Tandoori"  Chicken  It has been five years since we purchased the Kamado Joe Classic Joe Series II 18-inch Ceramic Charcoal Grill and Smoker with Cart .

I won't do the "pure version" of doing everything from scratch. Instead, a quick path to food you'd like to make again. This is a result of at least 3 experiments so far.. I may continue to enhance this post as I discover ways to improve it over time, assuming my interest in blogging remains.
