    December always reminds me of holidays and celebrations. Though the month starts off with the half-yearly exams, the kids look forward to the ten long days of vacation and the parents join the fun too. Even at work, it normally ends up being a fun-filled and holidaying mood. I remember the many Christmas based events and games we always had during December and this year too, we decided that we should do something similar.

    A team was formed with the juniors being given the responsibility of coming up with different themes, including games and other events. As always no event or celebration is complete without food and yes, I was asked what I could make. My colleagues quickly referred to the blog and just that day I had the Snack Mela announced and everybody loved the concept. A couple of years ago, when we had lunch cooked for 100 employees, I had a team of 20 members helping me with all the dishes.
    Though we thoroughly enjoyed that day, it was a little hectic. Plus given the fact that most wanted snacks to be prepared, I agreed to make snacks in the evening. We had great fun zeroing on the snacks. The organizing team tagged the event as December Drizzle!
    The snacks had to be something different from our usual fare plus the fact that we were going to cook for 100 people. We had planned for four days and three are done. All three have been a smashing hit and everybody simply enjoyed themselves. I made Pancake with condensed Milk and cinnamon topping, next to Royal Idlis, and finally last week it was a wafer Chat.
    The pancake was made using the ready-made mix, still estimating, mixing 4 & 1/2 kgs of flour was a huge task and I had a very efficient team helping me blend the mix. I completely forgot to take my blender and had to rely on muscle power. I was told it was a great exercise to those who helped me blend the batter..:)
    The second was the Royal Idlis, and this was another interesting challenge as everybody thought I was going to make Masala Idlis.  They never expected such a twist to the idlis and must say many went for 3 helping too. Even though when I posted this dish, it was supposed to have been with leftover idlis, it hardly was then. You can make it with fresh batch anytime.
    We had a platter of Manchurian planned but I finally said making that will be really a tougher job, considering the deep frying part plus not knowing how the reception would be. Finally, others voted against it as it was a regular dish. They wanted the surprise element to be still there.
    So the fourth week's dish was moved to week three and it was Wafer Chat. One of the organizing members ate this at a restaurant and he loved it. So we experimented with it once and I said I will surely have to improvise on the things that went in. I was really happy with the way I was able to change a few of the components and the end dish turned out really fantastic. Pair the chat with a Chocolate Milk Shake, and you have one happy lot!

    The ingredients required for making the entire quantity was mind blowing! We custom ordered 8 kilos of Potato Wafers. The wafers had to be thin and crispy. I am sure listing out the other ingredients in their whole quantity will not surely work out. So I will scale down to a smaller measurement.

    Of course, when it comes to chat there is never enough!

    Since the other two recipes were already blogged, I requested my colleague to click pictures while I was preparing it.

    Chocolate Milkshake is always a winner and it can never go wrong in pleasing.  Since I had made it previously, there was a common demand for it to be made again.

    Step by Step Pictures






















    Chocolate Milkshake with Chocolate shavings

    15 liters of milk was used, 2 big Hershey's chocolate syrup with 10 20 gm chocolate bars along with 2 huge vanilla family packs. There was an unlimited supply flow and I have never seen such content faces before this.





    Wafer Chat | Potato Chip Chat

    Ingredients Needed:

    For Assembling the chat

    Potato Wafers - 1/2 kg
    Chat masala
    Kala Namak
    White Pepper
    Finely chopped onions
    Finely chopped tomatoes
    Coriander leaves
    Sev
    Coriander leaves
    Lemon
    Potato Mash
    Green Chutney
    Sweet Sour Chutney
    Curds

    For the Potato mash

    Boiled Potatoes - 4 medium
    Roasted Cumin powder - 2 -3 tsp coarsely ground
    Salt to taste
    Green Chillies - 4 -5 medium
    Oil - 3 - 4 tsp

    Wash and chop potatoes and boil till soft. Crumble and keep it aside. Heat a pan and roast the cumin seeds. Once cooled, grind it coarsely to a powder.
    Heat the pan again and add oil. Add the mashed potatoes, cumin powder, salt and finely chopped green chillies. When you are making large quantity make sure you don't mash it completely. Just crumble it enough to get blend together.
    Allow it to cool and crumble again to get it to dropping consistency.

    For the Green Chutney

    Mint leaves - 2 bunch
    Coriander leaves - 2 bunch
    Red Chilies - 8 - 9
    Salt to taste

    Wash all the leaves and grind to a fine paste adding water and salt.
    I normally add green chilies, though red chilies give a wonderful taste.

    For the Sweet Sour Chutney

    Dates, pitted - 250 gms
    Tamarind - 250 gms
    Jaggary - 250 gms
    Red Chilies - 100 gms

    Wash and soak the dates in hot water, remove the seeds and allow it to soak well
    Similarly, soak the tamarind in hot water. When both tamarind and dates become soft, add more water, and bring to boil. When it starts boiling, add the jaggery. Grind the red chilies using water and add to the boiling mix.
    pulp and dilute if the sauce is very thick.

    Curds / Yogurt Sauce

    Thick Curds - 2 cups
    Coriander leaves, chopped - 1/2 cup
    Salt to taste
    Kala Namak
    Sugar

    Hung curds in a muslin cloth for 15 mins. Using a blender, blend the curds to a thick and smooth consistency.
    Make a paste of the coriander leaves and add to the thick curds, continue blending further. Finally add the salt, kala namak and sugar. The taste should be salty and curd tangy. And you should feel that mild coriander taste. Mix in cold water to make it pouring consistency.

    Assembling the Wafer Chat in the following way

    Assemble the wafers on a plate,
    add the potato mash on top,
    Next, pour the curds over it
    Next goes the green chutney and sweet sour chutney.
    Then the onions, tomatoes, coriander leaves.
    Next, add  the sev
    Finally sprinkle the chat masala, Kala Namak, White pepper. You can repeat any of the other ingredients depending on your preference.

    Make sure you assemble and serve this right away as potatoes tend to get soggy if allowed standing.
