This is one of Gudiya's all time favorite soups. This is of course, my own version which has evolved over last few months. When I first made it, Gudiya complained that though it tasted great, it didn't have the chunks of red bacon. Now, we don't consume bacon, so I added bits of red bell pepper next time.

Bhatura Paratha or Roasted Bhatura




Bhatura Paratha with Paneer Chhole, Salad and Pickle


I apologize for this misleading & confusing name, but I call it bhatura paratha because I make the dough with the bhatura recipe and instead of deep frying, I roast it like paratha. You can choose to deep fry or roast based on your personal preference.
 
For those who are new to Indian food, Bhatura is a classic deep fried flatbread from Punjab which is traditionally served with chhole.


Bhatura Paratha - Count(10 -12)
Roasted Bhatura
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
or
1 cup whole wheat flour + 1 cup all purpose flour (maida)
or
2 cups all purpose flour/bread flour/maida

1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder


Approx. 1/2 cup plain yogurt (fatfree OK)


Method
1. Choose any combination of flour in a big bowl. Stir in salt, baking powder and sugar. Stir to mix.
2. Adding 1 tbsp yogurt at a time, knead the above mixture to form a dough.
3. Knead till the dough does not stick to your fingers.
4. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil tightly. Keep aside for about 4 hours.
5. Make balls. Roll into circles of desired diameter and thickness.
6. Roast on a griddle or pan. After roasting both sides on the pan, roast on the open flame of the gas like fulka. It will puff up like a baloon.

or

Deep fry in a kadai/wok adding oil. It will puff up like a balloon.


Note -
1.Any of the roasting methods will make the flatbread balloon up.
2. This recipe gives about 10 -12 bhatura. The count will change based on the diameter and thickness of the bhaturas rolls.

Quinoa Patties


 
After attempting Quinoa Khichadi based on saboodaNyachi khichdi, I attempted quinoa patties based on saboodaNyache vade. Traditionally, these sago fritters are deep fried, but I decide to shallow fry them so they were more like patties than vadas.

2-3 red chilies - preferably byadgi - halved

2. Add tempering ingredients. As they start sizzling, add chopped broccoli.

Amsulache Saar



Amsulache saar is more or less similar to udka tauy but this one has coconut milk and so it has a lighter shade. I love this saar for its beautiful color. Adjust jaggery or sugar based on your personal preference but this saar is meant to taste sweet-sour.

Shrimp Bao




Gudiya loves Chinese Steamed Buns. They are stuffed with veggies, chicken or shrimp. I especially enjoy the veggie filled steamed buns that are available at San Francisco's Farmers Market. Gudiya enjoys Trader Joes' Shrimp stuffed ones. So I decided to make my own version. The result was surprisingly good. I used short cut by using buttermilk biscuit dough.


Shrimp Bao
Steamed & Stuffed Shrimp Bun

Stuffing
4 oz small salad shrimp
1/4 cup minced mushroom
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach

Tempering
1/2 tbsp. oil
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 tsp garlic, grated
2 tbsp. minced red onion

You will also need
1/2 tsp Chinese 5 spice powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
A dash of Soy Sauce
A dash of Rice vinegar
1 tsp sugar
salt to taste
1 tbsp. corn starch

8 Buttermilk Biscuit Dough (I used Trader Joe Brand)
Flour for dredging

Pam spray for greasing the steamer

Method
1. Heat oil in a saucepan or wok. Add ginger-garlic and onion. Sauté for 4-5 minutes.
2. Add bell pepper and mushroom. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add salad shrimp, spinach and all the spices, sauce and vinegar with salt and sugar.
4. Add cornstarch and mix well. Sauté till moisture evaporates.
5. Set aside to cool down completely.
6. Take apart each buttermilk biscuit dough.

7. Dredge in little flour to roll out a small disc.
8. Place shrimp mixture in the middle.

9. Bring all the edges together and roll into a neat bun.

10. Using Cooking spray, grease sieve to be placed on a boiling water for steaming.
11. Place 4-5 stuffed buns.

12. Cover and let it steam for about 20 minutes.
13. Uncover and serve with soy sauce and Sriracha.


Note -
1. Salad shrimp is a small shrimp - generally available in the frozen seafood section. It's generally precooked.
2. You can make a vegetarian version by excluding shrimp and increasing the amount of mushrooms, bell peppers and spinach.
3. You can even halve each biscuit dough and make 16 mini shrimp bao.

Aloo Mutter

Aloo Mutter with Roti

Aloo Mutter is a classic green peas and potato combo. You can add paneer instead of potatoes to make equally delicious Paneer Mutter or better yet, add both paneer and potato to make Aloo Paneer Mutter!

Aloo Mutter
Green Peas with Potatoes - Punjabi Style
Ingredients
16 oz, 1 packet frozen green peas
1 cup potato cubes or wedges, shallow fried
salt to taste
1 tsp mild chili powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp coriander-cumin powder

Tempering
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2-3 cloves

Grind to a smooth paste
1 big onion, roughly chopped
1 tomato
3 cloves garlic
1" ginger

Accompaniments
Lemon wedges
Naan
or Rumali Roti


Method
1. Heat oil in a big nonstick kadai or wok. Add spices and let them splutter. Add onion paste.
2. Sauté the onion paste on a low flame till oil leaves the masala.
3. Add a spoonful of water, from time to time, as necessary to avoid the masala from sticking to the pan.
4. Add 1 cup water. Bring to a boil.
5. Stir in green peas. Let it boil.
6. Adjust water if necessary. Add salt, chili powder, garam masala and coriander-cumin seed powder.
7. Add potato chunks.
8. Cover and let it cook for 10-12 minutes. Check for the gravy consistency. Simmer more if desired.
9. Switch off the gas. Let it stand for 5 minutes, before pouring the gravy in the serving bowl.

Note -
1. "The oil leaves masala" step took about 55 minutes for me.
2. Sometimes you get English Shelling Peas in the farmers market. They are green peas in pods which you have to shell. They taste really delicious in this recipe.
3. Trader Joe sells frozen Green peas with mint. They may taste yummy in this recipe too. But since it has blobs of butter, personally, I would  shy away from it.
4. Though shallow or deep fried potato cubes taste delicious in this recipe, I generally just boil the potatoes, peel & cube them and use them without frying.
5. If you prefer hotter taste, grind green chilies with onions.
