Ingredients: Shenga (groundnuts)- 250 gm Garlic- 2 whole bulbs salt Red mirchi powder- 4-5 tb.sp Method: Fry the groundnuts in a thick pan in low flame. Keep them stirring. Till they get nicely fried. this iwl ltake atleast 20-25 minutes. Keep them aside, let it cool. Later, peel the groundnuts with the help of a masher. Let all the groundnuts be without cover. Then, put them in a mixie jar, add salt, and mirchi powder, and garlic bulbs peeled. Run the mixie for 10 seconds, remove the lid, mix it and like this repeat the grinding and mixing for 3- 4 times.

Hi Hansika, I have not heard of this dear... sorry... i just googled it now and i think the recipe goes like this: Peanuts Gram flour (besan) salt mirchi powder haldi Method: Mix the besan with salt, haldi & mirchi. Add the peanuts into it. deep fry them till they become crisp. P.S: I have never tried this and am not sure of the recipe.
***JAWAR ROTI RECIPE*** Ingredients: Jawar flour (fresher the better) Hot water (just boiled) Method: Knead the jawar flour, pouring little by little hot water, the dough should be tougher than chapati dough. Take small ball , dip it in dry jawar flour for dusting, and start patting it with hands. You need to use your left hand to join the cracks while patting with right hand. Make sure the roti is rolling (not glued to floor). I mean while patting, u should be able to roll it from hands. Pat it till you are confident enough to shift it to tawa. Tawa again, should be very hot (keep on medium flame always, never sim.) After shifting the roti to tawa, immediately take a piece of clean cloth and dip in water, and apply the water on all over the roti. If u dont apply water, roti wil be bitter. Then make it upside down, twice, so that it gets cooked. Tips: 1) By practice, you will learn how to make it more thin and feasible for you. 2) If the roti plufs, it means u have patted it nicely. 3) If u want the crisp ones, keep them on low flame for some time after uts cooked completely, and keep all rotis seperate. (not one on the other)
