ANGOORI TAWA TARTS (CHEF’S SPECIAL)

INGREDIENTS For the tart shells

1 cup maida

50 gm butter

½ tsp cinnamon powder

½ tsp nutmeg powder

2 tsp powdered sugar

For the filling

½ cup paneer, diced 1/3 cup black grapes, finely diced 1/3 cup green grapes, finely diced 1/3 cup dried apricots, finely diced 2 tsp olive oil 3 tsp honey ½ tsp cardamom powder 3 tbsp pistachio, lightly roasted and chopped 3 tbsp almond, lightly roasted and chopped

METHOD

For the tart shells: Grease tart moulds and keep them aside. Mix the maida and butter in a big bowl, till the mixture has a sandy texture. Add sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to the mixture. Now, put the mixture into greased tart moulds properly.

Heat a tawa, place a steel/metal plate on it and put the tarts on it. Cover them with an inverted steel/metal bowl and allow it to cook for 10 to 15 minutes or till golden and crisp. Tip: Use a fork to prick the bottom of the tart crust. Because if not pricked, the crust will bubble up during cooking, and your tart’s well will be very shallow. For the filling: In a bowl, add the paneer, grapes, apricots, pistachios, almonds, olive oil and honey, and mix well. Season the mixture with cardamom powder. When the tarts are cooked, fill with the mixture and serve immediately.
