MIXED FLOUR PANCAKE

My son is a great fan of pancake especially when taken with curry or sambar (lentil with vegetable). Have tried pancake with oat, savoury as well as sweet variety, now using wheat flour, rice flour and whole wheat flour together with chopped onion. Pretty quick to prepare and tasted great. We enjoyed eating them with sambar and tomato chutney.

INGREDIENTS

3/4 cup wheat flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
1/4 cup rice flour
2 tablespoons coriander leaves chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 big onion chopped (optional)
salt to taste
water
cooking oil

METHOD

* Combine together wheat flour, rice flour, whole wheat flour, coriander leaves. onion, cumin and salt.

* Gradually add water to obtain thin batter, mix well. The consistency is slightly thinner than evaporated milk.

* Pour a teaspoon of oil, then pour a ladleful of butter. Once the top looks dry, flip and cook the other side. Remove and stack on a plate.

* Continue with the rest of the batter.

* Serve hot.

LEPAT PISANG

For very long time I have eaten this  Lepat Pisang a traditional kuih of Malaysia/Singapore, made of bananas and wheat flour. If you have over ripe bananas you should try this, simple and healthy. Normally they are wrapped in banana leaf but I'm using small cups instead.

If you want more healthier version use 2 tablespoons milk powder instead of coconut milk, the rest just follow the recipe below  and steam for 25 minutes.  Adjust the sugar according to your taste.

EGGLESS FRUIT CAKE

My sons are having late nights watching World Cup 2010 so they need tidbit while watching their favorite game.

After searching the net, stumbled upon this Eggless Fruit Cake , it's very easy to prepare and what you need is a pan or pot to boil the ingredients. The cake came out perfect and not very sweet, the way I love it. If you want to try, here is the recipe:

TOMATO CHICKEN II

This is the gravy I have cooked to go along with the tomato rice posted earlier. It's semi dry dish, a bit spicy and tasted wonderful with the rice. Kindly adjust the spice level to your liking.

If you are using the concentrated tomato puree, do adjust the quantity since it is more tangy than the liquid tomato puree I have used here.

CHAPATI (INDIAN FLAT BREAD)

My friend Nina has requested a recipe for chapati. She used to go all the way to Little India once in a week just to enjoy it.

Hope she will try to make her own successfully. Just be cautious with water, add gradually to form a soft and pliable dough. This flat bread is best eaten hot with keema (spicy minced meat with vegetable), spicy thick curry or lentil gravy. Don't worry if you couldn't get the perfect round shape, for good results use heavy cast iron pan, it distributes heat evenly and produces beautiful color. Happy cooking.


INGREDIENTS

2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 - 1 cup warm water
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon oil
extra flour for dusting
ghee to apply on top (optional)

METHOD

* Place the flour, salt and oil in a mixing bowl.

* Gradually add the water, need not to use all, knead well to form into pliable dough, keep for one hour.

* Divide dough into 4 ball. Using rolling pin form into circle about 1/8 inch thick.

* Heat the cast iron pan, fry until brown spot appears then flip and cook the other side. Flip again, press the edges with clean towel, the chapati will begin to puff up. Repeat the same with the rest of the dough.

* Remove and apply ghee if required.
