Aloo Balls (Potato Balls)

Source : Cynthia Nelson, former Contributing Writer to About.com Latin Caribbean Food

Aloo (Potato) Balls are a popular street food in the English-Speaking Caribbean, where there is a heavy influence of Indian food. These spicy mashed-potato balls are also made and served at Hindu and Muslim religious functions.

Prep Time: 1 hour Cook Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 18 - 20

Ingredients:

POTATOES

2 lbs. potatoes, peeled and boiled in salted water
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions (white and green parts)
1 Tbsp finely minced cilantro or culantro * (optional)
Minced hot pepper to taste
2 tsp ground cumin
2 Tbsp oil
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

BATTER

1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
Salt and pepper to taste
Water

Preparation:

POTATOES

Mash the potatoes until smooth and then add in all the ingredients (except oil for frying).
Be sure to check for salt before adding extra given that the potatoes would already have been cooked in salted water.
Form the mashed potatoes into 2-inch diameter balls or the size of golf balls.
Set aside.

BATTER

Mix the dry ingredients together and then add enough water to make a crepe-like batter.

COOKING

Add oil to a deep frying pan for deep frying and heat until 350 degrees F.
Dip balls into batter one at a time and add to heated oil.
Do not overcrowd pan.
Cook on both sides until golden or lightly brown on both sides.
Drain on paper towels.
Repeat until all the balls are cooked.
Serve hot or at room temperature as is or with some savory chutney or pepper sauce.

* Culantro is a very important spice herb grown in Puerto Rico, Caribbean and Central America. Culantro in Spanish has other names in English like Puerto Rican coriander, Black Benny, Saw leaf herb, Mexican coriander, Saw tooth coriander, long coriander, Spiny coriander, Fitweed, spiritweed, Culantro, Recao, Shado beni (Trinidad), Chadron benee (Dominica), Alcapate (El Salvador), Cilantro habanero, Cilantro extranjero (Mexico). It is used for the preparation of stews, salsa, sofrito, seasoning herb for meat, and is sold in cans or frozen in Latin America and Asian cuisine.

Waffle potatoes.

Grate enough potatoes for the family.
Grate 1/2 onion.
Add 1 tablespoon flour
Add enough egg sub. (I use ener-G egg substitute), about 2 tablespoons (or one large egg)

Make sure you squeeze the water out of the potatoes.

Spray a little Pam (very little) on your no stick waffle iron. Put the ingredients in, bake until done. Serve with lots of applesauce

If you don't have a no stick waffle iron, you can make these into pancakes.

~~ Bon Appetit ~~

Default Russian Pirozhki with potatoes and wild mushrooms (yeast dough)

As promised in the other thread, here is my own recipe for one of many variations of Russian "pirozhki".

Step 1: Prepare the dough

On Friday or Saturday night, mix the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of kefir (or plain yogurt, or buttermilk)
- 1 cup of milk (or whey)
- 2 cups of water
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 3/4 Tbsp salt
- 1 1/2 Tbs dry yeast
- 2 cups flour (for healthier option, take 1 c white flour and 1 c whole wheat)

Cover the mix and let it sit in at a room temperature overnight. You should get some nice bubbly thing by the tie you get up in the morning.

Add the following to the mixture and mix well (by hand):
- 6 cups white flour (or 5 cups white and 1 cup whole wheat)
- 4 Tbsp oil

You should get soft and sticky dough. (To handle it, oil your hands)

Let the dough rise for 3-4 hrs at 100F until it triples in size.

Step 2: Prepare the potato+wild mushroom filling

Take some fresh mushrooms (I had about 1/2 bucket), wash them and cut into small pieces, put them on to a generously oiled skillet and saute for ~30 minutes until soft and ready (the time depends on your mushrooms - usually the wild mushrooms are more watery, and it takes longer time to evaporate the liquid). Add salt and pepper and some garlic (optional)

DSC00002-012.jpg DSC00005-006.jpg

At the same time, boil and mush some potatoes (5-6 large spuds) with butter, milk, and garlic until it resembles thick paste.

1 medium onion, cut into small cubes and saute until golden brown. Add onions to the potatoes. Add mushrooms and some chopped fresh parsley and mix well with folk.

DSC00006-005.jpg DSC00004-009.jpg DSC00008-003.jpg

Step 3: making pirozhki
Move the soft dough onto a floured surface. Cut small pieces, make round flattened forms with your hands and place a large Tbsp of filling into the center, and make your pirozhki.

DSC00007-003.jpg DSC00009-003.jpg DSC00010-002.jpg DSC00011-002.jpg DSC00013-001.jpg

Put some oil on a hot skillet, place your pirozhki, cover with a lid, and fry on medium/high for 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

DSC00014-001.jpg DSC00015-001.jpg

Enjoy with a cup of fresh herbal tea!

DSC00016.jpg

You can make pirozhki with different fillings - i.e. ground beef and potatoes, or boiled eggs and green onions, or potatoes and kale, etc - just use your imagination.
