Sattu ka paratha & Awards

Sattu ka Paratha is a typical Bihari recipe. One of my friend Sonal Dev (her In-laws are from Bihar) told me about this paratha. I found it very interesting and healthy too. Actually some days back she invited us for typical Bihari meal, Litti chokha. That was also awesome. Whenever she send the pictures and recipe I'll definitely share that with U. Sattu is fried gram flour. It is very healthy, cool and gives energy in summer. Sattu paratha is basically a stuffed paratha. Specialty of this is for stuffing, we have to add oil of mango pickle. It gives a nice taste to this paratha. Instead of giving a long description I'll directly tell you the procedure.

Ingredients

For cover

Whole wheat flour - 2 cup
Oil - 2 teaspoons
Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
Water to knead.

For Stuffing

Sattu ka aata (fried gram flour) - 1 cup
Finely chopped onion - 1
Finely chopped garlic - 2-3 cloves
Fresh coriander leaves - 1 tablespoon
Finely chopped green chilli - 1
Oil of Mango pickle - 2 tablespoon
Salt for taste.


Procedure

Knead a little hard dough for the cover with given ingredients. Mix all ingredients of stuffing in a bowl. Make small balls of the dough. Roll out the dough like a puri. Put some oil to it. Then stuff it with 2 table spoon of stuffing (you can fill the stuffing as per your choice). Close the ends of the puri at the center and make a ball. Seal it nicely so that stuffing doesn’t come out while rolling. Now roll this stuffed ball into flat paratha. Heat griddle, fry paratha using a little oil, until both sides are golden brown. Serve with curd.



Again it's a award time ,

Strawberry Pancake & an Award!!!

Now a days on every weekend we bring strawberry. One day I thought of making pancake of it. As per my little knowledge of pancake, I made it and surprisingly it taste very nice. As usual instead of all purpose flour, I used whole wheat flour. I realize, I made thin pancake but next time definitely it will be thicker one:)

Ingredient

Fresh strawberry - 1 cup
Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
Sugar - 2 tablespoon
Egg - 1
Baking powder - 1 teaspoon
Milk - 3/4 cup
Butter 2-3 tablespoon
Salt as per taste.


Procedure
Make a puree of strawberry. Beat the egg. Now mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add strawberry puree & egg into the mixture. Mix well so that no lumps should be there. Now add milk slowly to get desired consistency of pancake batter. Now heat tawa on medium flame. Spread little butter on tawa. Pour 1/4 cup of batter on tawa. When the top of pancake starts bubbling, turn over and cook it from other side. Serve warm pinky pancake with honey.


This will go to Priya's Pancake event.
