Kid's Gelatin Dessert

Glad that this is my 75th post.....

No kids would be there who hate jellies, including my little one. I came across this jelly snack from the gelatin dessert package. We use these gelatin in many of our desserts. I was amazed that a snack can be made, just with this powder.

Lemon

Orange

I tried it and it came out very glossy looking. The best part is even my hubby loved it. Best snack that can be made for kids on these hot summer days, being away from the hot kitchen. It was really great dessert for this hot summer. Should have this when its chill, else it will start to melt.

Ingredients
Jell-O Gelatin Dessert (any flavor) - 1 pack (3 oz)
Hot water - 1 cup
Cold water - 1 cup
Whipped cream/topping - for topping (optional)
Dry fruits or Fresh fruits - 3 tbsp finely chopped (optional) [I used craisins and apricots]

Method:

1) In a bowl, put the entire pack of gelatin powder. (I used orange flavor)

2) Add the hot water slowly and keep on stirring continuosly, until the gelatin gets dissolved.

3) Stir for about 2 mins so that the powder gets dissolved well.

4) Then add the cold water to it.

5) Transfer this to any square shaped bowl (I used my baking pan) and refrigerate for atleast 4 hrs or until its firm.

6) Take it out after 4 hrs and let it be for about 5 to 10 minutes.

7) Cut into small squares or any desired shapes.

8) Transfer to any serving container and top it with whipped cream. Or can add cut fresh fruits even.

Juicy, glossy and chilly kids gelatin snack is ready now. Just dig into it.

Serve it immediately when its chill.

Carrot Paneer/Cottage Cheese Tikki

Making kids have healthy veggies is really a tedious job. Most of all it depends on their mood and taste. Kids prefer fried items a lot. But we can't give fried stuffs very often. So we can try this tikki, which seems to be like fried snack, but not actually. It consumes very little oil and gives a great taste. My duaghter loved this, that too with ketchup attracted her a lot.

Ingredients:

Potato - 2 (boiled & mashed)
Carrot - 1 (grated)
Paneer/Cottage cheese - 1/4 cup (scrambled)
Corn flour - 3 to 4 tbsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
Garam masala - 1/2 tsp
Cilantro/Corriander leaves - few
Salt - to taste
Oil - 3 tbsp

Method:

1) In a pan, add 1 tbsp oil. Add carrot, potato, paneer/cottage cheese, chilli powder, garam masala powder and cilantro.

2) Mix well and fry for about 3 to 5 minutes and add salt. Give a nice stir and let it cool.

3) Then transfer this to a bowl and add corn flour.

4) Mix well and make a soft dough (increase or decrease the corn flour to get the consistency)

5) Now heat a tawa. Take a lemon size ball and make desired shapes, by placing in your palms.

6) Add some oil in the tawa and toast both the sides.

Healthy and delicious carrot paneer tikki is ready and kids with love this, if served with tomato ketchup.
