Russian Chuchkella grape and walnut candies recipe

Ingredients:

36 whole walnuts, shelled 
4 pounds of green or purple seedless grapes 
1 tablespoon of potato starch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of cold water


Method:

String the walnuts in the following manner: Tie a knot one inch from the ends of the two strings each 12 inches long. Then thread the end of one string through the eye of a strong needle. As if you were stringing beads, insert the needle through the center of 18 walnuts. 

Tie a knot after the last walnut and join the unstrung end of the string into a loop. Thread the second string and loop the other walnuts similarly. 

2. A cup at a time, purée the grapes in an electric blender for about 10 seconds high speed, or until they liquefy. Strain the blend through cheese-cloth-lined sieve set over a 2-quart saucepan and discard the skins. 

3. Bring the blended purée to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil briskly, uncovered, for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the blend has cooked down to two cups. Stir in the potato starch-water mixture and stirring constantly, cook another minute or two, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon heavily. Set aside. 

4. Holding the looped end, dip the strings of walnuts into the sauce, coating them thoroughly. Hang the loops outdoors where they will quickly dry. Place a paper plate under the strings to catch the drippings. If you have a fan then you can dry them even quicker indoors. When the nuts have dried and are no longer sticky to the touch, warm the juice to lukewarm and dip the walnuts again. 

Dry as before, then repeat the dipping and drying process two or three more times, until the nuts are completely coated and there is not longer any separation between them.

Peel the apples and slice into thin pieces. Mix eggs, soda and sugar in the mixer. Add flour gradually. The dough must be liquid as sour cream. 

Pour a little vegetable oil in the pan. Put all apples (use different design) on the bottom. Pour the dough in to the pan evenly. Heat the oven and bake the pie during 20-30 minutes. 

When the pie is ready, put the pan on the wet napkin for 5 minutes. 

It helps to detach the pie from the pan. The apples must be on the top of the pie. Apple pie is served, of course, with my favourite beverage - tea.

Poori-Puri Recipe-How to Make Poori

Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour
Water/Milk to make dough
Salt to taste
Vegetable/ cooking oil  for deep frying

Preparation:

Put the wholewheat flour in a large mixing bowl or platter. Make a well in the center. Add salt to taste.

Now add a little water at a time and start to mix the flour to form a dough.

Make the dough to be medium-soft so, go slow with the water - add it only as needed, as you go along. 

Instead of water, you can also use yoghurt or milk. This makes for really soft Pooris.

The real secret of soft Pooris lies in the kneading! The dough must be smooth and just the right softeness - 
medium. 

Add water/ yoghurt/ milk as required and continue to knead till you get the right consistency.

Then add 2 tbsps of oil/ghee and continue to knead. The dough will become silky in texture! Cover with a damp cloth now and keep aside in the refrigerator for 15 mins.



Remove from refrigerator and divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions. Roll these portions into balls between your hands till they are smooth and without cracks.


Very lightly flour a rolling board or clean counter surface and roll each ball into a 5" circle (5mm thick). 



For convenience, roll out as many Pooris as you like, stacking them, ready to cook with a layer of cling film between each Poori.







Heat the oil/ghee for deep frying in a thick-bottomed flat pan on a medium flame. Deep fry the Pooris one at a time, pressing very gently on each side with a slotted spoon. This will help the Poori to puff up! Fry one the first side till golden then turn over and fry the same way on the other side. Drain on tissues to remove excess oil from fried Pooris and serve hot.

                           Serve this crispy, golden bread with any vegetarian  dish.
