Country of the Food: India | Email to Author               Posted on 21 April 2003 @ 07:16:39

This recipe livens up ordinary cauliflower and potatoes into something
quite different. The recipe shown here has spices that are not
necessary (like cloves and cardamom) or at least that's not how mom made
it at home, however it adds a nice touch.

Ingredients:
------------
1 Large cauliflower
3 Medium sized potatoes
1/2 large Onion sliced thinly in long slices
1 tsp Mustard seeds
2 or 3 pods Cardamom
1 tsp Coriander
1 tsp Cumin seeds
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1 Bayleaf
3 Cloves
3 tblsp Vegetable Oil

Method:
-------
Start boiling the potatoes in a saucepan. Let them boil for at least 15
minutes. After they are done, turn off the heat and let them stand in
the water.

Cut the cauliflower into small bite sized pieces (roughly 1" cubes),
throwing away most of the stem pieces. Wash and drain in a collander.

While the potatoes are cooking, heat the oil in a wide skillet until it
is very hot. Add the mustard seeds and wait until they start popping.
Add bay leaves, cardamom and cloves.

Mix around for a while and then add onions. Wait until the onion starts
to turn before adding the rest of the spices (except for turmeric).

Put the cauliflower in the skillet and fry in the oil and spices for 2
minutes. While the cauliflower is frying, cut up the potatoes into bite
sized pieces and add to the skillet. Add turmeric and stir.

Continue stirring the vegetables under medium heat for another couple of
minutes. Add 1/2 cup of water and reduce heat to low. Cover skillet
and let cook for 5 minutes.

Check tenderness of vegetables. If they are still too hard, add another
1/4 cup of water and cover again for 5 minutes.

Water

roll each.

Heat the paratha on a griddle like you would a chappati, but spread some
ghee over the top side. Turn and spread ghee on the other side. Fry
until the bottom is crisp and golden, then turn and fry the remaining
side.

Repeat with all six.

Serve at once, since they lose crispness if stored.

Fillings:
---------
Potato - Boil potatoes, mash, add salt and chili to taste. Add Garam
Masala and mango powder.

Country of the Food: India | Email to Author               Posted on 21 April 2003 @ 07:14:13

for 4, serving 1 or 2)

Ingredients:
------------
1 c Whole wheat flour (or 1/3 white + 2/3 whole wheat)
1/2 c Water

Method:
-------
Put flour in a large bowl with half the water. Blend the two together
until it holds. Beat and knead well until it forms a compact ball.
Knead dough until it is smooth and elastic. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Knead and divide dough into 4 to 6 parts. Roll each ball into a
tortilla like flat, about \frac{1{8" thick. Heat an ungreased
skillet.

Put phulka on it, and let it cook for about 1 minute (The top should
just start to look dry and small bubbles should just start to form).

Turn and cook the second side for 2/3 minutes until small bubbles form.

Turn again and cook the first side pressed lightly with a towel. It
should puff. Serve warm (maybe slightly buttered).

Note:
-----
Since the rolled out chappati's will dry out if they are left to stand
while cooking the others, it is advantageous to roll them out
individually before cooking them.
