Cheese garlic locho

 

Wash thoroughly and soak 3/4 Chana daal, 1 tbsp udad daal for 5-6 hours. Add about 1/2 cup Poha and let it soak for another 10-15 mins. Drain the water, wash once more and drain the water again. Now blend it smooth (I used pulse mode) without any extra water and 2 tbsp of yoghurt (I mixed the two kinds - sour and plain). Cover and ferment in Instant pot yoghurt mode for 11 hours. Next day, add salt, turmeric, big pinch of hing, ginger green chilli paste, and a couple tablespoons of peanut oil. Mix everything by hand for a few minutes. Add water to make dosa batter consistency. Heat water in a steamer, and grease 2-3 plates. Now add 1/2 packages eno to the batter, a tsp of water and mix in one direction. Add the batter to the plates and steam for 10 mins or so 

For locho masala; mix 1/4 tsp each of black salt, chat masala, red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder, black pepper powder. 

Melt a tbsp of salted butter, add one clove of garlic, grated and some locho masala. Spread this butter on one of the Thalis and let it steam for another 5 minutes. 

Serve warm with cilantro, Sev, grated cheese and pomegranate seeds.

Rasiya Muthia

The Kathiawadi in me is somehow wide awake this winter...and I crave a lot of that rustic style food - adad ni daal, Olo... I came across this recipe for Rasiya muthia and made it today. http://foodgardenandfun.blogspot.com/2009/09/rasiya-muthiya-rice-dumplings-in-gravy.html I pretty much followed the directions, and got good results, except I couldn't prevent the yoghurt from curdling slightly...and added some sugar to the recipe..but it was delicious..It's the gujarati, vegetarian version of Matzo Ball soup...super healthy and very very comforting... Here's my version for a quick reference : Mash leftover rice, salt, haldi, mirch and Besan into a dough. Do not use water (or use sparingly). Make small dumplings (I made tiny round ones). Heat some ghee, add musturd seeds, let crackle, add zeera, curry leaves and hing. Add the chaas with grated ginger, haldi, red chilli, chopped cilantro, salt and sugar. Let it come to a boil, add the muthia, cover and cook for 8-10 mins til...

Guest post - Bhinda nu shaak

 This one is in memory of one of my best friends' mom....S. used to bring this in her lunchbox and I ate it all up....Today I wanted to make it for my daughter, so I called up S.'s older sister for the recipe..this one's for you, Masi!  Chop Bhinda in slices. Heat oil (slightly more, cause it's bhindi). Add mustard seeds, a few methi seeds (rai:methi=4:1), a pinch of hing and turmeric. Add bhinda, stir and cook on a medium flame without covering. Once it's almost cooked, add red chilli powder, dhana-jeeru powder, salt and a bit of sugar to taste. Finish cooking.  This recipe transports me right back to that corner house in Kharkar Ali...

Potato cheese bites

 Boil, peel and mash russet potatoes. Add some grated paneer, lots of grated cheese, chopped green chillies, cilantro, salt, pepper, oregano, chilli flakes and chat masala. Add rice flour and knead into a slightly stiff dough. Refrigerate if possible. Make small balls (about the size of an olive), press between hands, and make a deep mark on top using a fork. Fry in hot oil and serve.  This can also be used as a samosa filling, without the rice flour.  https://youtube.com/shorts/TjgyKLjrE_I?si=cA-wWQvQHqq7h_mp
