Squash roti (Sorrakai chapathi)

Alternate version of roti....dough turns watery, so make sure you do not add water. Mine turned watery even without water :-) Squash Chappathi

Ribbon Pakoda

Moving to some fatty recipes :-)
This is my best hit snack item. I really like to make them here in the US, as I think it turns dry compared to India. I am not sure if it is the flour or the oil or my presser, that makes it less oily. This item cooks really fast and is very crispy. Ribbon Pakkoda

  • 4:1 Rice flour to pottu kadalai flour
  • In a small mixie jar, grind your fav toppings...quick grind white sesame and add to the above
  • Again grind...few garlic, 6 red chillies, big jeera, 1.5 spoons salt, asafoetida 
  • Mix all of the above plus 2 tablespoons ghee and water to make a dough
  • Use the presser and deep fry.

A corn item!

Yet another kids meal...for those of you who do not like the smell of egg, use someother binding agent and water (like corn flour or besan flour - just a spoon). Corn Fritters
