Green Chillies<br />2 piece: Ginger<br />To taste: Salt<br /><br /><strong>Method</strong><br /><br />1. Combine maida, ghee, salt in a glass bowl and knead to a semi stiff dough using water.<br />2. Divide the dough into roundels. Shape each roundel into a chapati, using minimal flour for dusting.<br />3. Using a knife, cut into thin long strips.<br />4. Roll these strips around the cone mould like a coil, starting from the pointed end towards the broader end, till the entire cone is uniformly covered with the strips. Seal well to ensure that it doesn’t open.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; "><span class="Apple-style-span" >Now I didn't have the mould, so i made shapes in the form of a boat, bag etc.<br />5. Follow the same procedure for the remaining dough.<br />6. Heat oil in a deep kadhai and deep fry the cones till they turn golden brown in colour. Drain on absorbent paper.<br />7. Once the cones have cooled a bit, shake them off the cone mould. Keep aside.<br />8. Combine all the ingredients for the filling.<br />9. For saunth chutney, in a frying pan, combine tamarind pulp with ¼ cup water and bring to a boil. Mix in jaggery, red chilli powder, dry ginger powder, cumin powder, black pepper powder and black salt. Mix well and cook till jaggery dissolves and chutney is thick.<br />10. Strain the mixture and mix in crushed roasted cumin. Keep aside.<br />11. For green chutney, combine the coriander, mint, green chillies, ginger and salt and grind to a smooth paste. Add a little water if required.<br />12. To serve, fill prepared filling into cones, top with saunth chutney and green chutney and serve.</span></span></div>Gayatrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14970232639735439500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202696852773694351.post-59393203460076021952011-03-22T18:20:00.004+05:302011-03-22T18:29:12.190+05:30Banana Pancakes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8WECPE5d3HzluwQvU8b42SIiVI5gtt9jrA2AOgwGaq7PGmSNcbQXBsC0ZaE5aX4DwlvTp_-3XByjgrTFlUE3dg2IxShttHXWxEMhoRKGXF-RDpKbTF0Zmao7xPY1Ulu13QaUgQNhPuJ2z/s1600/27022011808.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8WECPE5d3HzluwQvU8b42SIiVI5gtt9jrA2AOgwGaq7PGmSNcbQXBsC0ZaE5aX4DwlvTp_-3XByjgrTFlUE3dg2IxShttHXWxEMhoRKGXF-RDpKbTF0Zmao7xPY1Ulu13QaUgQNhPuJ2z/s400/27022011808.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586888010676677250" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span"><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><b>Ingredients :</b></span></span><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></b></div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" >For the Pancakes :</span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >1.

To this, add the pureed bananas and the egg..<br />4. Separately, sieve maida and add baking powder to it.<br />5. Add this to the butter mixture, part by part, not all at once.<br />6. Mix well. You'll have to mix for a long time, as the batter should be of a ribbon consistency, i.e., when you hold the spoon in a slanting position, the batter should fall down like a ribbon.<br />9. You may add milk to achieve this semi-solid consistency.<br />10. Grease the cake pan with butter, pour the batter into it and bake for 10 mins. at 180 degree Celcius.<br />11. Do not take it out immediately. Take it out after 5 mins.<br />12. Insert a tooth pick into it, it should come out clean.</span></span></div>Gayatrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14970232639735439500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202696852773694351.post-1336106871313496732010-10-08T11:52:00.005+05:302010-10-10T10:47:26.463+05:30Cabbage Crunchy<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMxTiCxALSPB3F7P7wwbCdSxcsSSBHvGhLqfOueqxTIfXOArYBCKcDxR-ph57emRUqPKGWjyUkwmrdXsd5h7Y-PZGP7DfehCxMS_BRLSwk51ZAHI3plw0GZmE61mbP6_VYG_vNgm-Fp-ye/s1600/27052010058.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMxTiCxALSPB3F7P7wwbCdSxcsSSBHvGhLqfOueqxTIfXOArYBCKcDxR-ph57emRUqPKGWjyUkwmrdXsd5h7Y-PZGP7DfehCxMS_BRLSwk51ZAHI3plw0GZmE61mbP6_VYG_vNgm-Fp-ye/s400/27052010058.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5526282179752541858" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6JM9jgzzDpSc75dASNAE3KSyRUwOoDclKyH8rGcDoEl2tH-05gBJKh7FY9BhKos3YFb5caNv6qkfMlAQ-CDNJZGAYZsqR6ySvJVsCdBRiaLKPuZykw5OEhDlBYTAZwu-PV7CPHKoDiRLS/s1600/27052010060(1).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6JM9jgzzDpSc75dASNAE3KSyRUwOoDclKyH8rGcDoEl2tH-05gBJKh7FY9BhKos3YFb5caNv6qkfMlAQ-CDNJZGAYZsqR6ySvJVsCdBRiaLKPuZykw5OEhDlBYTAZwu-PV7CPHKoDiRLS/s400/27052010060(1).jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525566298561816434" /></a><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330000;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993300;">1.
