Hello Friends ...

Back to the blogging after one week gap ......Today's recipe is my son's favourite dish Idli with Sambhar.

He can have idli in all his main course. I always keep the batter ready in my fridge, no idea when will he demand for it.

Its very easy and healthy food for kids and adults too. Idlis are served with sambhar or chutney.

Ingredients:
2 cups parboiled rice or normal rice
1 cup urad dal
Salt acc.to taste
1 tbsp oil
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds for flavor (optional)

Method:

1. Soak urad dal and rice with fenugreek seeds separately in water for 8-10 hrs or overnight.
2. Grind the ingredients one by one in a mixer to make a smooth paste.
3. Keep adding water according to the requirement.
4. Now put both the paste in a large bowl and mix well.
5. Add salt and mix nicely.
6. Keep it aside for 6-7 hrs for fermentation.
7. Grease the idli stand with little oil. 
8. Pour the mixture into the greased idli stand.
9. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water in the pressure cooker and then place the stand for a 10-15 minutes in a cooker without weight for steaming or in a rice cooker.
10. To check whether idlis are cooked insert a knife in the middle of the idli, if it comes out clean then your idlis are ready to serve.
11. Carefully take out the stand and remove the idlis using the spoon.
12. Serve hot with Sambhar and chutney.

Note : If you add beaten rice (poha) while grinding rice, it will make your idlis   very soft.

Consistency of the batter should not be too thick or too watery.

Soya Mattar Kathi Roll

Hi Friends,
Earlier I posted a recipe of Paneer Frankie, this time I am back with soya mattar kathi roll or wrap.
Kathi roll is basically made up of paratha having veg or non-veg stuffing inside. For me it is the easiest form of giving roti/paratha to my son while he is busy in playing. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup wheat flour
Salt
Water to knead

To assemble :
Green pudina chutney/ tomato ketchup
Sliced onion
Shredded cabbage
Grated Carrot
Low fat mayonnaise
Chaat masala

Method:

• Mix maida, atta and salt, knead into soft dough using water. Keep it aside for 30 -40 mins.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal portion and roll out into thin rotis.
• Cook each roti on medium flame. Keep them aside.
• Take a non-stick pan ...brush it with oil and put each roti in the tava.
• Cook on low flame. Remove from fire.
• Divide the stuffing (Soya Keema Mattar) into 4 equal portion.

To assemble:

• Take the roti, apply mayonnaise and green chutney/tomato ketchup.
• In the centre place sliced onion.
• Put soya keema mattar mixture on the sliced onion.
• Put shredded cabbage on soya mixture and sprinkle chaat masala on the cabbage.
• Roll up the roti to form a roll.
• Wrap lower part of each roll in a foil paper. This will help you to hold the roll easily.
• Serve along with sliced onions and lemon wedge.
• Enjoy the roll .......
