Potato-Beet Sliders and Fish Amritsari

(By Avani)Now, that I have got some time on my hands, decided to look up recipes for Beets.  Keep hearing about how nutritious it is but dont have too many fond "beet" memories from child hood.  Came across this potato-beet kebobs and loved the idea.  Here is my version, althought I decided to make little veggie burgers and present them as sliders.

Potato-Beet Sliders with Coriander Tzatziki Sauce


Mix mashed boiled potatoes, grated raw beets, finely chopped jalapenos, ginger-garlic paste, scallions and slightly crushed almonds.  Season with salt, red chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala, lemon juice.  Make it into small patties and pan fry. 
Had some left over tzatziki sauce, spiced it up with some coriander chutney and half-and-half to make a cheese substitute for the sliders.

Fish Amritsari


Marinate finger size pieces of any slightly hardy white fish (I used tilapia) with red chilli powder, lemon juice, crushed fennel seeds, garlic and a lot of lemon juice.  Set it aside for 20 minutes.  Mix an egg, half-and-half and a sprinkle some gram flour to bring it all together.  Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the fish pieces, serve with some tomato based dipping sauce.
