Packed potatoes

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

Manchu Wok, Stonebriar mall, Frisco, TX

I made the mistake of ordering from Manchu Wok. I ordered chicken egg rolls, kung pao chicken, fried rice and jalapeno chicken. The egg roll was raw and the chicken pieces were too big. I wasnt happy with the food and had to buy an ice cream to wash the taste away. Comparatively, Panda Express has never disappointed.

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.

Central market, Plano, TX

The other day we went here to grab a quick bite before catching up on a movie. Its a pretty decent place and one can choose what one wants to eat from a variety of food and pay for it and heat it up in the microwave. The price is pretty expensive. A friend said that was the best meatballs they had ever tasted. 320 Coit Road Plano, TX 75075-5712
