    Sweet Balls using Wheat Flour

    We can prepare sweet balls out of wheat flour. Some body won't like crispy chips. They can prepare this and enjoy the taste.

    1 Cup Wheat flour
    3/4 Cup Jaggery
    1/2 Teaspoon Cardamom Powder
    4 - 5 Table spoons Coconut
    2 - 3 Teaspoon Ghee
    1. First dry fry the flour. After that pour the ghee and fry again in ghee. ​
    2. Fry till it smells. Keep aside. ​
    3. Pour 1 1/2 cups of water in the pan and pour Jaggery and mix well. ​
    4. Let the Jaggery water boil for a while. Now add cardamom powder and mix well. ​
    5. Simmer the fire and add the fried flour in it and mix well. Add coconut in that. ​
    6. When the mixture cooked well remove from the fire ​
    7. Make small balls out of the mixture and serve hot. ​
    8. Decorate it will pieces of Cashew nuts or Almond. ​
    Note: My mother used to prepare this while she makes ghee out of butter. After making ghee she will remove the ghee from the pan and fry wheat flour in that. So she will not waste the kasandu also.:-D

    Wheat Flour Appam

    1 Cup Wheat Flour
    3/4 Cup Rice Flour
    1 1/2 Cup Jaggery
    Ghee to fry Appam
    1 spoon Cardamom Powder
    1 Big banana
    1/2 Coconut
    1/2 Spoon Baking powder

    1. Mix wheat flour and rice flour. Add powdered Jaggery and mashed banana to it. ​
    2. Make coconut in to small pieces. Add coconut pieces and cardamom powder with the flour and mix all well. ​
    3. Add very little water and mix well. Add backing powder. ​
    4. The dough must be thick than dosa dough. Keep aside for 1 hour ​
    5. Now heat ghee and pour the dough in the hot ghee with the help of a spoon.​
    6. Or other wise you can use 'Appam maker' (Appa karal) to make Appam. ​
    7. Remove them when they become golden brown. ​
    8. This will be very tasty becaus we use pure ghee to fry them. We call those appams as 'Ghee Appam' too.​
    Note: You can keep these appams for more than a week.

    Introduction to Parathas


    I am presenting Parathas this week, hoping you will like the novel and traditional tastes alike.

    Basic dough for the parathas is same, and the fillings and their methods change.

    Though most paratha makers would use nothing less than maida for the dough, I prefer to use wheat flour instead, since it is easier to digest. So feel free to interchange the two flours as you like.

    Basic paratha dough:

    Ingredients

    2 cups flour
    1 tbsp. fat (oil or ghee)
    Salt to taste
    Water to knead
    Method
    Mix all ingredients except water.
    Add a little at a time and form a soft pliable dough.
    Keep for 30 minutes before using.
    Always keep covered with a moist cloth, and see that the cloth is kept moist.

    One paratha requires a pingpong ball sized lump of dough.
    Henceforth in this section 1 lump means this size. OK?

    For rolling, use dry flour as in phulka, etc., to roll easier.
    Dust the roti with dry flour now and then.

    Introduction to Parathas 2


    General rule about filling the paratha:

    Roll a thick roti about 4" diameter.
    Place a tbsp. of filling at centre.
    Bring the ends to the centre from 4 or 5 points.
    Overlap ends so they do not leave an opening.
    Press gently and dust with dry flour, proceed to roll to 6" diameter.


    General rule about frying the parathas:

    Heat a heavy tava and place paratha on it.
    Allow one side to cook till golden brown patches.
    Turn and repeat for other side. Pour some oil and turn.
