I am so happy to be blogging after a super long break. I just received my Philips Air Fryer by post today and what an amazing technology to work with. It was difficult to decide what to try and make first when there were a thousand ideas popping up in my grey matter. It was like having to choose a holiday destination from anywhere in the world map.
Basics are very important, and this I have learnt the hard way from life's many mistakes. The Air Fryer came with a handy 25 recipe booklet (so cool that different countries have different recipe booklets).
The one I got has a lot of famous Indian recipes, so out of genuine interest I decided to download pdf copies of booklets from other countries. I wasn't surprised to see all of them start of with potatoes....variations of it.
Therefore it was only fair that I start with a potato snack and maybe a non vegetarian snack just so the meat lovers don't skip this page on the blog ;)

Recommended if you love fried food just like the kids at home!!
I will enjoy the world cup kick off with my air fried babies !!
Potato wedges
what you will require:
- potatoes
- salt
- pepper
- chilli flakes
- one tbsp canola oil
Cut up the washed potatoes with their jacket on into wedges and drop them in boiling water for about 5 minutes.
Strain the potatoes and wipe with a paper towel. Leave them in the cool in the fridge for 30 minutes and after that add the seasonings and oil and mix well.
Wedges are now ready for the air frying.(don't worry about how one tbsp of oil looks so oily ....the air fryer will remove excess oil from your food. Once the air fryer has been preheated pop them in. The manual says it requires 20 minutes at 180 degrees for good results !!
remember to give it a shake in 10 minutes.
See how the excess oil is all below and not in your food !!
Serve
mini eggplant sausage cups
what you will require
- mini eggplants
- some powder cheese
- breadcrumbs
- any sausage you love ( the sausage has oil and salt so no need to season)
Cut the eggplants and scoop out the center to make room for the sausage filling. (sausage filling : chopped sausage and cheese mixture).
The sausage I used was very well seasoned Italian sausage but I still added some more dried oregano and gave it a shower of breadcrumbs for a golden finish.
Serve
I am going to enjoy these delights while you look up the air fryer and try to decide if you should get it too !!
good night dear friends, hope the foodie in you is enjoying my blog posts !!
Remember to cook from your heart !!
uh maaz

DeleteIn comparison there is the Tefal Actifry, this is an older version of the Airfryer but in principle the cooking method is the same. This fryer has been out for some time now and has a very good name. One main difference between the two is that the actifry has a moving paddle within the unit to keep food turning and evenly cooked. There are advantages obviously to this method, however a downside is, with coated food items, they can be moved too much and lose some of their coating.
ReplyDeleteexcellent recipe. I was not aware of this cooking method. I love the food at all difficult to handle temptation. That looks delicious. Love mustard and garlic, so I've sure I'd like the mustard aoili. The only word is yum!

That's amazing! Everyone loves fried foods, but they're just so bad for you and
ReplyDeleteI hate the greasiness. I would love to try this product, especially if foods taste just as good.

This could be revolutionary!
I am extremely impressed with the results I got using the Oil-less air fryer from Bizarkdeal! I was not sure what to expect to be honest as I was skeptical of how this would actually work. To my surprise, it works amazingly!! It fried my chicken to be crispy and moist as if I fried it in a pan of oil except without the use of ANY oil! Never knew this was possible and glad that I found this and decided to try it out. Excited to try many different types of food with it!
