Besan ki masala roti for ICC


Besan (chick pea flour) ki masala roti for this month's ICC hosted by Srivalli. I followed the recipe closely except I made a double batch and froze half uncooked (rolled the rotis out, layered them on to parchment paper, let them harden in the freezer for a few hours before I put them in a ziplock bag!)

Below is the recipe from Srivalli's blog

Ingredients Needed

 For roti

 Gram flour / Besan - 1 cup
Whole Wheat Flour / Atta - 1/2 cup
Salt to taste
Ghee - 2 tbsp

 For masala filling

 Cumin powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Green chilli paste - 1/2 tsp
Salt to taste
Dry mango powder / Amchur - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder ; ;1/2 tsp
Pure ghee - 1& 1/2 tbsp

 How to make the Besan Ki Masala Roti

 In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the masala filling. If the ghee is not enough you can add little oil to make the paste little runny.

 For the dough, combine all the ingredients, knead into a soft dough using water as required.;

 Divide the dough in eight portions and make balls. Roll out each ball into a four inch disc and place one tsp portion of the masala filling on to it

 make a triangle. Roll out again to make a triangular roti

 Repeat the same with the remaining portions. Heat a tawa and fry each roti with a little ghee till both sides are golden brown. Apply a little ghee and press it gently between your palms.

Beware- it is a very sticky dough, I had t flour the surface pretty generously

Gingerbread house

Oh the warm smell of spices is the hallmark of the holiday season and is the one thing we all love, don't we? GInger is definitely one spice that I love to include in my cooking/baking expeditions during this time of the year. So I was naturally happy to see that this month we were doing the gingerbread house for this month's challenge, well it was a fleeting moment anyway until I realized that it was yet another kitchen mishap. Consider this my 10th new recipe and the 3rd in Nupur's marathon . The December 2009 Daring Baker's challenge was brought to you by Anna of Very Small Anna and Y of Lemonpi . They chose to challenge Daring Bakers' everywhere to bake and assemble a gingerbread house from scratch. They chose recipes from Good Housekeeping and from The Great Scandinavian Baking Book  as the challenge recipes. I used Y's recipe Ingredients 1 cup butter, room temperature 1 cup brown sugar, well packed 2 tablespoons cinnamon 4 teaspoons ground g...

Christmas eve a la B

Science... never solves a problem without creating ten more- Bernard Shaw Merry Christmas y'all!! Kinda late for that but hey the thought is what counts doesn't it? So the 24th evening we had a small get together with great people and even greater food. Lot of Japanese treats and snacks. For the main course we had Pav-bhaji, Rajma and Japanese rice (with radish, bamboo, beets and carrots- I should ask my friend for the recipe, it tasted real good!) . For dessert we had ice cream and an eggless chocolate cake .  I was aiming for a black forest cake but somehow lost my enthusiasm and made a chocolate cake with whipped cream and toasted almond topping. Ingredients 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 can condensed milk 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled 1/2 cup water a pinch of salt 1 tsp almond extract Method Preheat the oven to 360F. Sift the cocoa powder, flour, bak...

Tried and tasted

  This month on the Tried and Tasted series hosted by Priya , the blog being featured is "Chef in You". It features as one of my daily haunts. Now I am not too fond of mushrooms but this time I let the wise guy pick up some, thought would use it in an omlette or may be even some good fried rice. But a quick search on Chef in you and this recipe was an instant click. So I ordered the wise guy to go for it and he actually made this recipe with minimal help from me. We did not have a few ingredients on hand, so like any good cook I went with my own substitutions which are marked in red. Ingredients , original recipe can be found here 1 1/2 cups chopped button mushrooms 1 onion, chopped 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts 1/2 cup cheddar, grated 2 tbsp grated parmesan 1/4 cup milk ( or replace it with egg) 2-3 tbsp chopped parsley 1 cup panko bread crumbs ( Italina style crumbs with herbs and spices adds more taste) Method In a non stick pan, add little olive oil and saute onions an...
