Summer or winter, always ready for evening party. My secret recipe for snack is stuffed bread roll. Yummy crunchy flavorful snack for all age. Bread rolls are crunchy outside and soft and spicy inside. Easy to make with what you have at home. It can be served as an appetizer. Here is my aloo bread roll. Try this in different shapes to attract kids, call for a party and enjoy....😊😊




Ingredients:

Bread - 10 nos
Maida (All purpose flour) - 1 tbsp
Potato - 1 cup boiled
Onion - 1 big chopped
Green chilli - 2 chopped
Cumin seed - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Coriander leaves / Spring onion
Water - 2 tbsp
Salt as required
Oil for frying

Preparation:

1) Boil potatoes and smash it.

2) In a pan heat oil, add cumin seeds, green chillies and onion.

3) Now add the smashed potatoes and mix well. Add turmeric powder and salt as required.

4) Let it cook for 2 mins and off the heat. sprinkle chopped coriander or spring onion and keep it aside.


5) Take the bread and slice out the sides. Now take a rolling pin and roll the bread to flatten them and to remove the air trapped inside. This helps reduce absorption of oil while frying.


6) Set all the rolled bread in a plate.

7) In a small bowl take 1 tbsp maida or all purpose flour and 2 tbsp water. Mix it to a thick paste (like glue). and keep aside.

Making Bread Roll:

8) Take one bread slice and add spoon full of prepared potato masala in the center.

9) Roll the bread from one end and seal with the help of maida glue. Also seal the sides the same way to keep the potato filling inside.

10) Prepare all the bread same way. Heat oil and deep fry untill golden brown.

11) Fry 2 or 3 bread roll at a time. Once removed from oil place it in a kitchen tissue to remove excess oil.
Or

Bake all the prepared bread roll in oven at 200 C for 10 - 12 mins or untill golden brown.

12) Serve it with green chutney or ketchup...


Notes:

1) With potatoes can also add carrot, beans or any vegetables.

2) Can also pan fry with 2 -3 tbsp of oil.

3) For kids instesd of green chillies add chilli powder. So they wont bite a chilli piece.

4) Try bread roll in different shapes like triangle, round or square for kids.

Black Channa Sundal (Chickpea sundal)

Hi all, Am back with nutritional yummy food varieties. Its been a long break since my pregnancy. Now a mom of 1 1/2 year old boy, my days ends running behind him. So here now i find some time to post my favorite dishes which i try at home with you all...

I like to start with something tasty, nutrition rich and an all age food. Its a snack. I like it very much when i stand in line to get this snack as prasadham in my favourite temple. Not in all temples but the one near my home has this as prasadham on every friday.

Black channa sundal. 



Black channa is also known as kondai kadalai in tamil, Chickpea in english. This has high nutritional value. We get this in market either fresh (in pods) or dried. The one I used here is the dried channa. It also come in green color and dark brown.

Black channa is high in Protien and Dietary fiber. 100g of this channa provides 1 carb (27gms of carbohydrate). It also has high Folate, Iron and phosphorus value.

Having 1 cup of cooked channa a week gives high nutrition that your body needs. Lets do it...

Ingredients:

Black channa - 1 cup (Soak in water 6-8hrs)
Onion - 1/2 big onion or 6 pearl onions (chopped)
Mustard seed - 1 tsp
Split urud dhal - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 spring
Oil - 1 tbsp
Shredded coconut - 1 tbsp
Salt as needed

Method:

1) Soak 1 cup of black channa in a wide bowl. Fill bowl with water so that channa immerse well.

2) Channa absorbs water and it swells a little. Soak it overnight or min 6-8 hrs

3) Strain water after soaking. Some use the same water to cook channa but I take fresh water.
Cooked Channa

4) In a cooker transfer the strained channa with enough water and salt.

5) Cook in high untill 1st whistle and then put in simmer for 5-7 mins.

6) Strain the cooked channa and keep aside.

7) In a pan add oil and let mustard and urud dhal to splatter. Now add curry leaves and then onions.

8) Fry onion untill glassy. Add a pinch of salt which helps cook onion evenly.

9) Add cooked and strained channa to the pan and mix well.

10) Now add shredded coconut. Remove from stove and serve it in a bowl or plate.

Notes:

1) Coconut is optional.

2) You can also cook channa in cooker without salt and later can add it when you mix with onion.

3) If adding coconut store in airtight container in fridge but not more than a day or 2.
