Takoyaki

“A Japanese most-loved street food with a tiny touch of mine! I tweaked the flavours to suit our Indian taste buds — and trust me, it turned out so flavorful, comforting, and absolutely delicious!”

I found it so interesting because it actually feels like a polished version of our own paniyaram! 😄 My son insisted I try it, so I ended up making it with whatever ingredients I had at home — and guess what, it turned out amazing!”

“Actually, it’s so easy to prepare! Takoyaki is usually made with octopus, but I swapped it with prawns and it worked beautifully. Tako means octopus and yaki means grill — a fun little food fact I learned while making this!”

Ingredients

1 egg
1tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp vinegar
Salt to taste
1 cup apf
1 tbsp rice flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
water enough to make a flower batter

For the topping sauce

mayo
instead of takoyakinsauce I used hot sauce

For filling

prawns with some salt chilly powder and ginger garlic paste. Shallow fry it or just boil it.
spring onion chopped

“Mix the batter with all the ingredients listed above. Prepare the filling (refer to the video). Add a tablespoon of oil to the paniyaram pan, pour in the batter, add the filling, and top it with a little more batter. Flip immediately to get that perfect round ball shape. I struggled a bit at first, but finally cracked the hack on the last one! 😉”
