Why So Gap In Posting New Dishes???

I AM SOORRYYYY for delayed posting. For last few months we were very busy with my health, Abhi’s exam, our workshop. It does not mean I did not prepare any new dishes. Actually didn’t get enough time & energy to take photo and write. Oh yes, another thing I forgot to say that our island’s internet connection vanished for some days. Still getting problems but can be tolerable. So altogether I was not regular on line.

Papad Roll

Really sometime it is headache to make snacks for eve. But it worked tremendous when I made this.

Process:
  • Boil potatos.
  • Pill the skin and smash with salt and lemon juice/pickle.
  • Pour very little amount of oil in kadai for splutter panjforan(cumin, mustard, fennelseeds, aniseeds, fenugreek seeds , each few).
  • Put asofotida, ginger paste and turmeric powder.
  • Now mix the potato nicely. Keep for cooling and make few balls.
  • Then apply water by palm on Raw papad and make it little soft(easily u can fold it without break).
  • Roll one potato ball inside papad and press the edges.
  • Then deep fry it.
  • Serve hot-hot.

Veggi-Masala Dosa




Last Friday, evening during returning from hospital our four colleagues came to see our family albums. Really I embarrassed thinking of what to serve with tea as I didn’t have anything in fridge except dosa batter , carrots, beans, onion, tomato & green chilli. What to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No sambar, no chutney. Then he gave me the idea to make VEGGI MASALA DOSA. Its came yummy.
Process:
  • Cut carrot,beans,onion,tomato,curry leaves ,green chillis into very small pieces.
  • Shallow Fry all vegetables with little salt and sambar masala.
  • On dosa tawa spread batter in a circular motion.
  • Put the masala mix onside of the dosa and sprinkle some grated cheese.
  • Then fold it.
  • Press the edges. It will attach nicely.
  • Turn the opposite side to fry. Serve hot and crispy.
