Dibba Roti /Minnapa Roti

Image
Coming to the second day of Blogging Marathon #60,I am sharing an authentic recipe,Dibba Roti. Dibba Roti is a thick pancake made with ground rice and urad dha,resembles idly in texture but looks like uthappam. Traditionally dibba roti is made in a deep bottomed heavy pan.The batter is covered and slow cooked then flip to the other side to cook. As I don't have any heavy deep pan,used my appam pan.It came out with a crispy outer and the inside was soft like idly. Originally the recipe is made with idly rava(broken rice) but here I used the regular raw rice.So it needs to be ground to a bit coarse paste. Dibba roti tastes awesome with any kind of chutney and we had it with  nalla karam podi.                                                                             ...

Nalla Karam Podi/Nalla Karam

We entered the brand new year,also I joined the Blogging Marathon after a short break.We are entering the 60th edition and for this week I chose to share Regional recipes. When I was going through my cook books to choose some recipes for the theme,this powder caught my attention.So decided to share some Andhra recipes which I noted down from a good friend of mine,long time back.Her mom is an amazing cook and cooks for a large crowd in no time.When she was here I noted down some of her signature recipes such as spicy pickle and powders. Andhra  cuisine is famous for its pickles and powders also she introduced me this nall karam podi.This powder can be mixed with rice and eaten,also be used as an accompaniment for idly and dosa,topped with sesame oil or ghee like  idly podi. The taste of this powder is entirely different from the regular idly podi.As this podi uses tamarind and coriander seeds curry leaves,it has got a very nice tangy taste and flavor.Off to the recipe.....

Dilkush/Sweetened Stuffed Pastry

Image
2015 is going to an end,I wanted to end the Bake-A-Thon series and this year with a sweet note.So tried this simple Dilkush. Dilkush is a popular snack available in most of the bakeries and college canteen in South India.Two varieties are available in the bakery one is with the puff pastry and another one is made with the yeasted bread dough. Already I have shared a version of  Thengai Bun  so tried this one with the puff pastry.Here I made two dilkush,for the first one I rolled the dough slightly thinner,so the output was flaky.Whereas the other is comparatively thicker dough,so it got a nice crust.Off to the recipe........................                                                                                         ...

Today's recipe is a cute looking rose shape dinner roll,stuffed with paneer masala.I wanted to make these rose shaped rolls for  April Mega Marathon .But due to various other reasons I couldn't bake it. My son has been asking a while for some kind of savory stuffed bun,so tried the rose shaped roll stuffed with paneer masala.Here I used wheat flour along with bread flour,the rolls came out very well.The rolls were slightly bigger after the second raise and size of the rolls were as I expected.                                                                                                                                   ...
