  17. Oil – 1 tbsp
Procedure:
Knead the dough using salt,hot water and a tsp of oil and set aside.
In a pressure cooker boil all the vegetables except onion, tomato and green chilli.
Heat a wok/kadai with oil and add the cumin seeds and let then crackle.
Add finely chopped onion and green chilly and cook tilll onions turn transparent.
Add the ginger garlic paste and fry till the raw smell is gone.
Add the finely chopped tomatoes and fry for a minute.
Add the boiled vegetables except the potato and green peas, followed by salt to taste, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala and coriander leaves.
Cook for 2-4 mins or till everything mixed well.
Turn off the heat and let the masala mix cool down a  bit.
In the mean while in a bowl mash up the boiled potatoes and add the green peas and masala mix and mix well.
Check for the salt and spices.
Stuffing is ready.
For paratha:
Divide the dough and potato mixture into 6 equal parts. The stuffing balls should be about 1 1/2 times larger than the dough balls.
Roll it into a thin chapatti.
Take 2 –3 tsp of stuffing and keep it the center.
Now close all the sides of chapatti to make it a square or a round. It really depends on your preference.
Let them settle for 3 to 4 minutes before rolling them. 
Lightly press the ball on the sealed side and keep it on the topside when rolling. Roll the ball light handed in to a rectangle or a 6-inch circles. Whenever the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly sprinkle dry whole-wheat flour on both sides of the semi-rolled paratha.
Heat a tawa and put the paratha over it.
Sprinkle some oil and cook both sides till golden brown.

Mixed vegetable paratha is ready to serve with raita or pickle of your choice.
You can always change the type of vegetables you want to use.
If you prefer you can skip the mashed potatoes and use just the vegetable masala as the stuffing for a healthier version.
You can also skip the maida and use just the atta. 

So enjoy this delicious dish and let me know what you used.
Till then happy blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-
Image
I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t
