2nd edition of Ramaniyam on October 31, 2015

0

Good news for art fans in Hyderabad! The second edition of Ramaniyam – an art festival which was started as a tribute to Shrishti Art Gallery’s founder Remani Nambiar – will be held on October 31st.

This year’s concept revolves around “INBOX” and is one of the largest exhibitions of three dimensional artworks in Hyderabad. The exhibition seeks to understand the impact of “disposable culture” of consumption on the environment and human mind.

81+ artists including some of the most established names in Indian contemporary art including Bose Krishnamachari, Laxma Goud, Riyas Komu, TV Santosh, Valay Shende will participate in this quest to understand, highlight and exhibit this consumption dichotomy through your unique works of art.  This show has been conceptualized and will be curated by George Martin.

The exhibition is being showcased in Hill Fort Palace (Old Ritz hotel). The Hill Fort Palace was a perfect choice as it’s a testament to the disposable culture that the exhibition highlights. The palace is a heritage building built in 1915 by Sir Nizamat Jung.

During the course of the exhibition, they have planned a number of events at the palace which includes talks on art, exhibition walk through by the curator, pottery workshop and musical performances and many more.

Salvatore Ferragamo Emozione Hits Shelves !

0

Salvatore Ferragamo Emozione has just hit Indian shores (even though, globally, it was launched earlier this year). The eau de parfum is decidedly decadent and comes in three sizes, 30ml, 50ml and 92ml – if this last number sounds odd, it’s because it’s a nod to Ferragamo’s Champs-Élysées store, which opened in 1992. The bottle is ridiculously cute too; it comes with a dainty little bracelet strung along the neck which is detachable !

Chipotle Popcorn Chicken With Honey Mayo

0
INGREDIENTS
  • Oil, for frying
  • 1 lb. chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, pureed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 2 cups panko (see notes)
For the dip:

  • 2 tablespoons honey
Chipotle-Popcorn-Chicken-6001 (Copy)
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Attached an oil/ candy thermometer to the side of a medium sized pot. Pour in 2 inches of oil and heat it to 300 degrees over medium heat. Once the temperature reaches 300 degrees turn the element down to medium and continue to heat the oil until it reaches 350 degrees.
  2. While the oil is heating prep the chicken – make sure to keep a close eye on the temperature of the oil. Set up 3 bowls. In one bowl whisk together the eggs, pureed chipotle peppers, soy sauce and water. Put the flour in the second bowl and the panko in the third.
  3. Working with 5-6 pieces at a time, dredge the chicken pieces first in flour, second in the egg and third in panko. Keeping one hand for the egg and the other for the flour and panko makes this process far less messy. Once the chicken pieces are coated place them on a baking tray.
  4. Once the oil reaches 350 degrees, carefully drop in 7-8 pieces and let them cook for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Test the thickest one when you remove it for doneness by cutting it in half. No pink means it’s cooked through. Place the cooked chicken bites on a clean baking sheet while you cook the rest. Make sure the oil returns to 350 degrees between batches.
To make the sauce:
  1. Stir together the mayonnaise and honey. That’s it!

Tomato, Pepper And Herb Puff Squares

0
INGREDIENTS
  • puff pastry frozen – 1 sheet
  • tomatoes – 1-2 sliced
  • basil leaves – few (or herb of your choice; we used some basil, some coriander)
  • peppers – 3 different colours julienne d and cut in the middle, about ⅛ each colour, you can use more
  • red onion – ¼ of an onion sliced
  • shredded cheese of your choice – 3-4 tbsp (I used mild cheddar)
  • sesame seeds – 2 tbsp
  • milk – 2-3 tbsp
  • oil to grease the tray
  • plain flour for dusting
METHOD
  1. allow the frozen puff pastry sheet to defrost slightly by placing it at room temperature for about 10 min, enough to enable you to roll it out
  2. meanwhile, slice you veggies, wash the herbs and keep them ready, pre heat the oven to 200C
  3. grease your baking tray with oil and keep ready
  4. flour the work surface with plain flour or maida. open out the frozen puff pastry. flour the puff pastry all over
  5. using a rolling pin roll it to make it slightly thinner (about ½ cm)
  6. using a knife or pizza cutter make 9 squares
  7. on each square using a pastry brush, coat the edges with milk
  8. now, spread shredded cheese over each piece, place the vegetables, sliced tomatoes over this. sprinkle sesame seeds
  9. bake in the pre-heated oven for 12-15 min or until the pastry has puffed up and browned slightly
  10. garnish with basil or coriander and serve tomato, pepper and herb puff squares hot or at room temperature

NOTES
Since it is mainly meant for kids, it is not spiced and hence mild. However, the green peppers give a lovely taste. You can add jalapenos sliced or perhaps red chili flakes or even green chili thinly sliced to spice them up OR serve with a spiced dip.
I made a few with tomato, peppers and basil, the rest with just peppers and herbs since my elder daughter dislikes tomatoes.
it took me just 12 minutes to reach the cooked stage. so keep an eye on the puffs. don’t let them burn
instead of milk, you can use egg yolks to brush over the pastry. this will give a nice golden brown colour while rolling it if it gets sticky dust the rolling pin also with extra plain flour
