Oats Dosa

What to make for breakfast is a question I ask myself every morning and sometimes the previous night. Its the most important meal of the day and has to be like a King’s meal I am told . For some unknown reasons I decided to make Oats Dosa . I had not soaked any ingredients required for a regular Dosa and wanted an easy way out too hence the idea 😉 .

I made this in like 30 mins and wanted to share the recipe .

Ingredients :

Oats : 1 cup (put it in the mixer and powder it)

Rice flour : half cup

Roasted Rava /Semolina : Half Cup (make sure it is not roasted to brown)

Curd : half cup

Onion : 1 finely chopped

Green Chillies : 2 finely chopped

salt to taste

Water as required

Method:

Take a bowl, add oats, rice flour, rava , curd and mix. Add  water and bring it to almost watery consistency. Now add onion and chillies followed by salt and mix well. These are porous crispy dosa like the rava dosa so the consistency has to be watery. Keep it closed for about 30 mins and make Dosa’s hot . They will be crispy , delicious and healthy too :D.I like it this way , you can temper / tadka the batter with oil, peppercorns , jeera too.

If you cant handle the punch raw onions and chillies bestow upon you ,add some oil to it and it immediately neutralises that flavour  .

Enjoy the dosa and let me know how you liked it 🙂

#nankhatai #indiancookies

Its a cloudy Sunday and all I wanted to do today was laze . All set to do exactly nothing I started whiling away time and something struck me and decided to bake. I didn’t want to bake a cake as I didn’t have all the necessary ingredients and nay! I ain’t going out to shop so decided to make something with all the the ingredients at home  . Nankhatai told my brain , a recipe I have been wanting to try from the time the baking bug bit me . By the way this is my first attempt at blogging a baking recipe , so am nervous …

FullSizeRender-5Nankhatai is nothing but Indian cookies that are mostly served as tea time snacks and available in most shops. Kids love them too.. Well! I wanted to make them on my own and then the experiment started .

Recipe:

Ingredients :

  • 1 cup maida or all purpose flour
  • Âź cup besan/gram flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp sooji/fine rava
  • ½ tsp cardamom/Elaichi powder
  • ½ cup icing sugar / powdered sugar, this can be increased/decreased as per taste
  • ½ tbsp dahi or yogurt
  • ½ cup ghee
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk
  • few cashews

Method:

Sift the dry ingredients : Maida, Besan, baking powder ,baking soda and keep them aside. I mixed them well using a spoon however only sifting is good too.

Whisk sugar and ghee using a blender(I use a hand blender) until it is creamy . Add dahi to the mixture and blend again. Once that is done add the dry ingredients that is ready along with rava, cardamom powder , milk and mix well and make it a dough . I used the blender and kneading is not needed for this mixture. Once it is ready ,  we can roll them into the shapes we want (I chose the circular ones) and put a cashew each on the cookies (See below)

For baking preheat the oven at 180 c and bake the cookies for over 20 minutes. Remove them once they are turning golden in colour. I let the first round bake to golden however wanted it more brown so the second round kept it for longer 🙂 . Choice is entirely yours. Now all you have to do is store them in an air tight container and savour with chai especially when it is raining ..Enjoy I say 🙂

Please note : 20 to 25 mins is good for an oven , if you are using a convection microwave , the time will vary which will be over 30 minutes, it is advisable to keep an eye post 20 minutes .
