Missi Roti \ Chickpea Flour Flat Bread


Missi Roti...Chickpea flour flat bread slathered with a good dose of desi ghee. This is what I am going to have for my lunch today. Mom and dad left today morning and with no other choice, I am back to my normal routine of looking after the home, running behind the kiddo to make sure he finishes his glass of milk, washing the laundry, watering the plants and hundreds of other chores which were very well taken care of when they were here. The self proclaimed Sabbatical from blogging has also ended and I am back in my kitchen once again. 

My mom made this Roti just a few days back but since I was playing LAZY, I did not even bother to take pictures for the blog. The roties turned out so good that they made it to my  list of TO- MAKE- THINGS. Made these for lunch today and enjoyed them with a left over curry. These roties are healthy, easy to make and go very well with the Indian curries. Here is how to make these.


All you need is

Besan \ Chickpea flour - 1 cup
Atta \ Whole wheat flour - 1\2 cup
Maida \ all purpose flour - 1\2 cup
Cornflour - 1\4 cup
Baking powder - 1\4 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1\2 tsp
Red chili powder - 1\2 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp
Kasuri methi \ Dry fenugreek leaves - 2 tsp
Ajwain \ carom seeds - 1\2 tsp
Ginger - 1\2 inch piece - grated
Green chili - 1 ( finely chopped )
Desi ghee \ Clarified butter for applying on top



Method of preparation

Add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix nicely with your finger tips.
Add little water and knead to make a soft dough.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and keep aside for 1\2 an hour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts.
Make a smooth ball from each part.
Dust and roll the dough ball to a 5 inch disc.
Heat a griddle and cook the roti from both the sides till brown spots appear.
Hold the roti with a tong and cook it on direst flame from both the sides till the brown spots darken a bit.
Make all the roties in the same manner.
Apply ghee on top.
Serve hot with any curry or dal fry.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
