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...

From "The Baker's Daughter"

I love to read books and I love to cook- so "Cook the Books" event called out to me, what more can I say? When I didn't want to just sit around and catch up Breaking Bad episodes leading up to the finale yesterday, I threw these buns and some great vegan-gluten free strawberry cupcakes in the mix.  The book chosen for the bi-monthly event Cook the Books is Sarah McCoy's "The Baker's Daughter "- a story about that intertwines food, history and a great narrative (toggles between WWII times in Germany and the present). I am just about a third done and so far like what I have read. I will post the review once I am done reading but in the meantime I leave you with these gorgeous buns that are traditionally made on St. Thomas Day that falls on Dec 21st (which also happens to be the shortest day).   Thomasplitzchen Buns 1 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup raw sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 cup almond milk Filli...

Vadas- not your ordinary ones

I know, I know- I have been out of the blog-land, troubles of this world have me taken over you see and I need to fix it all for me to get back to y'all! Here is a gorgeous looking and perhaps amazingly tasty vada- it was my mum and my experiment all the way to fruition. Now I think kala or kabuli chana is the one of most underused forms of the fabacae family (compare to its ever popular cousin-chickpea). I love kabuli chana especially in what we call sundal from the Tam-land. If you have never tried sundal made of these babies, you must and I insist. But for now I settled for this minor experiment in the kitchen- kabuli chana vadas. Ingredients: Kabuli chana, 1 cup soaked overnight in 2 cups water 1/2 onion, chopped 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp fennel seeds salt and ground red chilli powder to taste Oil for Method: Just like any dal vada- coarsely grind the softened chana (Note: this is not going to have a lot of binding capacity) Mix in the onions, salt, red chilli powder, cu...
