I don't know whether it would be right to claim this dish as a signature dish of my granny who is now 80+ yrs old. But I can certainly boast that she had doctrate degree in rotti making and vadappi (riceflour poori's) making . Oh...my..our summer holidays would just fly away eating those delicious dishes made by granny. I really miss those days. Here you go with the recipe.....
Ingrediants :
Rice Flour : 2 cups
Jeera : 1tsp
Salt and luke warm water
Oil to deep fry
How to make:
1. Mix rice flour, jeera, salt with luke warm water to make a soft dough. The dough shud look like the one shown below:
2. Take a small lemon size dough and pat them to make pooris using your hands on a plastic cover or a non-stick paper as shown below.
3. Take the flattened dough away from the paper and dip it into hot oil and fry till golden brown on both sides.
4. Alternatively you can pat them on your palm and dip them into the oil which yields the same results.
Chiili Gojju
Ingrediants :
Green Chilli - 10
Onion - 1 medium size, cubed
Wet Coconut - 3 tbsp
Tamarind juice : 1tbsp
Oil - 1/2tbsp
Mustard and curry leaves for tampering
For Gojju Powder:
Coriander seeds : 1tbsp roasted
Roasted gram dhal/Hurikadale/pottukadale-4bsp/one fistful
Powder the above two ingrediants and keep it ready for gojju making
How to make:
1. Wash chilli and take it in a blender along with salt and we coconut and blend it to a coarse paste.
2. Cube onions.
3. Do tampering with mustard and curry leaves. Add onion and sautee till they become transcluscent, chilli paste goes in, sautee it for 2 more mins and add water. Adjust the water level to make sufficiant amount of gojju.
4. Allow this to boil for 3 mins or till onions becomes soft.
5. Powder the gojju ingrediants and mix the powder with tamarind juice.
6. Add this paste to boiling water and stirr well.
7. Serve Hot and enjoy
A tip: Do not add too much water as the final product may turn watery. If you happen to end up with watery gojju, dont panic. Add powdered gramdhal/pottukadalai powder. Always mix the powder with water before you add to hot gojju. Adding powder directly to hot water results in lumpy endproduct.

ReplyDeleteThis Poori is very new to me..Looks nice. Thanks for sharing.
@ Menu Today,
ReplyDeleteThanks. Try them once they taste yumm.
Dear madam, this is a really very useful site. I am very greatful for all the recipes you share. My daughter has eczema due to food allergy. She cannot have anything made from milk, wheat and its by products, corn. You know the forbidden things are what you long for. My daugher just loves all things made from milk and wheat. She is now young (6 years), so I try to convince her. I do not know for how long, I can hold her back. But your recepis are really god sent. May your tribe increase and I say this from the bottom of my heart.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Paddu
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis comment is for "Paddu".
I am fifty years old and always was a vegetarian. Unfortunately, being a vegetarian doesn't work out to be healthy choice. Our bodies are extremely complex and depending on or genetic make p, what we eat makes a big difference. I was forced to take up eating fish for health reasons and with great difficulty started eating fish 4-5 times a week. My health has improved and I hope to see better results with more time.
I don't know if you are a strict vegetarian or not. In case you are open to feeding your child fish, specially since s/he can't have wheat based food, you should give it a try. There is a huge selection of fish and innumerable ways to prepare them.
Sorry if this sounds like weird. I only wish somebody had told my mother the importance of eating balanced and protein rich food. Unfortunately, nutrition is as much a religious subject as it is of health and a few of us end up paying a pretty big price.
Look into celiac disease, grain-based diets and benefits of eating fish, eggs, quinoa and coconut. There are a lot of substitutions for wheat and rice (hardly what we should be eating as much as we do). I do hope your child outgrows the problem.
Hi Laxmi,
