How to Make Suji Nuggets – Recipe by Chef Kunal Kapur:

Ingredients:

For nuggets

• Oil – 2 tablespoons
• Asafoetida – 2 tablespoons
• Cumin (crushed) – half tablespoon
• Coriander (shredded) – 1 tablespoon
• Green Chili (chopped) – 1 tablespoon
• Ginger (chopped) – 1.5 tablespoons
• Turmeric – half a tablespoon
• Chili powder – 1 tablespoon
• Coriander powder – 1 tablespoon
• Suji – half a tablespoon
• Salt to your taste
• Kasoori Methi Powder – a quarter tablespoon
• Black salt – half a tablespoon
• Chaat Masala – half a tablespoon
• water – 1 cup
• Potato (boiled and mashed) – half cup
• Green chili, chopped – 1
• Coriander (chopped) – handful
• Oil – for frying

For smoky tomato chutney

• Oil – 2 tablespoons
• Kalonji – half a tablespoon
• Cumin (crushed) – 2 tablespoons
• Fennel seeds – 2 tsp
• Green Chili (chopped) – 1
• Kashmiri Chili Powder – 1 tablespoon
• Tomato (chopped) – ¾ cup
• Sugar/Honey – 1.5 tablespoons
• Black salt to taste
• Salt to taste
• Tomato puree – 1 cup
• Pepper powder – a large pinch
• Kasoori Methi Powder – a pinch
• water – half a cup
• lemon half
• Cinnamon – 1 stick
• Ghee – 1 tsp

Method:

1. Heat some oil in a pan. Add asafoetida, cumin, green chili (chopped) and ginger (chopped) and mix well. Add masalas including turmeric powder, chilli powder, and coriander powder.

2. Once the masalas are cooked, add suji. Mix it all up very well. In fact, now you can turn up the flame and start roasting Suji properly. Add salt to taste, kasoori methi powder, black salt, chaat masala.

3. Pour water into it after frying. Remember that you must constantly stir the mixture while adding water. Do this on a low flame. You will find that the suji has soaked all the water. The mix looks a bit more like Upma. But you must let the water dry completely. So much so that it should look like dough. Empty it on a plate and let it cool down.

4. Add boiled and mashed potatoes. According to chef Kunal, this humble vegetable adds flavor while also adding moisture. This is important as suji can become very dry throughout the preparation. Add salt and add extra green chiles as well (but this is optional). Don’t forget to mix in some green coriander leaves. That’s it. The mixture then no longer needs a binder. Just make sure there are no lumps of potatoes in the mixture.

5. Keep taking small portions from the mixture and shape them into nuggets. Chef Kunal explained that you can also freeze these nuggets for about two months. For now, you can deep fry the nuggets, or you can even shallow fry or air fry them whenever you like. Serve them hot with smoky tomato sauce.

6. For the tomato sauce, heat some oil in a pan. Add kalonji, crushed cumin, fennel seeds, chopped green chilli, kashmiri chilli powder and chopped tomato. Add some sugar or honey. Mix together some black salt, salt, tomato puree, pepper powder, kasoori methi powder, water, lemon, cinnamon and ghee.

7. For some much-needed smoke flavor, heat up a cinnamon stick and place in a bowl. Add some ghee. Place the bowl between the chutney. Cover the lid. This brings the smoky flavor to your chutney. After about twenty minutes, remove the lid. Serve the nuggets hot with chutney.
