Chinese Lantern Festival, Fort Lauderdale 2017

YouTube: 

Enjoyed a lot and experienced an incredible evening of authentic and amazing lantern, that was larger than life.

         We spent almost an hour and would be the max time I would suggest for this venue. It was quite cold in the evening at the time when we visited the festival.  Apart from the lanterns, there are some traditional dancing on the stage, playing drums and balancing plates.
          There was a cafe in the venue selling coffee, hot chocolate, wine, pretzels, gingerbread, waffles, hot dogs, etc. The gingerbread was good.
          The lanterns are very memorable, and you can get a lot of good pictures here. This was an incredible, fun, and beautiful evening out with my McDreamy while visiting Chinese Lantern Fest. We highly recommend.

beautiful bright colors and cute lantern characters.

I like the Penguins, Dinosaurs, Pandas and big-eyed birds the most. Some lantern even has moving arms, head! There is a massive dragon near the lake that shoots out water. Other lantern displays are a band of crickets playing music, a caterpillar, squirrels eating nuts, Santa with reindeers and a Christmas tree, white swans, flowers, a horse, and of course dragons and many more.

handcrafted lanterns, live entertainment, and food. It's a good place to create lifelong memories with friends and family. A fully immersive multicultural experience that you will love and treat your eyes to an absolutely gorgeous display.

Instant Pot Parsley-Coriander Bites | Parsley-Coriander Patties

How to Make Healthy Snacks Parsley Tikkies/Parsley Patties/Parsley bites/Parsley Vadi by using the instant pot

Hello Foodies,
          There are endless ways to incorporate parsley into your diet and here is my very own tried and tasted parsley recipe that is parsley patties or parsley bites. I love experimenting with food, and this one is my innovative recipe.

My husband and I liked the way these patties came out. These patties are easy to make, tempting, and scrumptious. Isn't it? This Parsley bites recipe is Indian cuisine inspired recipe; it is just like coriander wadi. If you are familiar with or likes the coriander wadi (I am the biggest fan of this coriander wadi/ Kothimbir Wadi) or you have eaten coriander wadi, then I am damn sure that you will love these patties too!

         Parsley is widely used as a garnish or topping in various European, American, and Middle Eastern cuisines. It is also used as the main ingredient of a salad such as Lebanon’s Tabbouleh and condiments such as Italy’s salsa verde. Also, it is used in soups, stews, pasta dishes, spreads, marinades dips, or added to salads and smoothies. Parsley was traditionally taken as a tea for treating gallstones, indigestion, kidney stones, constipation, and bloating. Parsley is also known to be a superfood because it’s packed with beneficial nutrients, essential oils, and antioxidants. Many dishes are served with fresh chopped parsley sprinkled on top. Parsley adds a lovely flavor to creamy salad dressings.

Video Recipe:

Preparation Time: 15 Minutes; Cooking Time: 20 Minutes
Each Serving of Parsley Patties / Parsley Bites Contains 72Calories.

Ingredients:

• Parsley 1 bunch (150g), chopped
• Coriander leaves 1 cup, chopped
• Besan / Bengal Gram flour 1 cup
• Green chilies 5 strips, paste
• Ginger 1 tsp, paste
• Red chili powder ½ tbsp
• Salt 1 tsp
• Garam Masala 1 tsp
• Turmeric powder 1 tsp
• Sesame seeds 1 tsp
• Lemon juice 1 tbsp
• Veg. oil for frying
• Water if needed

Instructions:

• In a mixing bowl add chopped parsley and coriander leaves, gram flour/besan,  ginger-green chili paste, red chili powder, salt, garam masala, turmeric powder, sesame seeds, and lemon juice and mix all well.
• Knead to make the dough, if needed add water. Divide dough into equal portions.
• Grease your palm with oil and roll each portion and make patties or tikkies.
• Place rolled patties over oil greased idli stand and sprinkle some sesame seeds over each patty (If you don't have Idli stand in your hand, you can use the PIP method too).
• Turn on instant pot and pour 1 cup of water, place Idli stand and close the lid, place vent on sealing position.

• Steam for 10 minutes using the steam mode of the instant pot, after 5 minutes quick release.
• Meanwhile, turn on the flame, place a kadhai or pan and add veg. oil in a pan and fry steamed patties till it cooks well or gets golden brown color.
• Tadaa, tangy, spicy, and nutritious Parsley bites/patties / tikkies are ready to serve, serve hot with ketchup or ranch or garlic sauce, or you can use it as burger patties. Enjoy!!!

My Take:

• To make mild spicy parsley bites, avoid adding green chilies.
• Instead of making separately rolled tikkies, you can make one roll out of dough and steam it using the PIP method instead of using the Idli stand.
• After steaming the whole roll of dough, just cut it into equal portions and fry it.
