Cabbage Stuffing

For the Outer layer:

Wheat flour/Atta- 1 cup
Water-1/4cup
Oil-2tsp

Method:
1.Make a soft dough of the atta and water..no need to add salt as it'l become soggy after some time...
2.Take a lime sized ball of dough and spread in the size of small puri and keep a tablespoon of the cabbage mixture and bring all the sides to the centre and make a ball...
3.Now dust some raw flour and make a chapathi giving equal pressure on all sides and be careful that the stuffing does'nt come out..
4.Heat a iron tawa..when really hot carefully take the rolled paratha and cook on both sides and apply some oil on the sides flip and cook evenly and serve hot..

I've served with bindi masala......or just onion curd raitha will be a perfect side for this paratha......(as the pictures were shaky ...will update later...)

Roomali Roti

This is my post for Day3 BM#7 Group2 "Combo Meals".After browsing a lot of websites finally came up with this recipe,it was silky soft...made vegetable kuruma to side this soft roomali roti....Tried with regular chapathi tawa as i didnt want to use the inverted kadai....
Ingredients:
Wheat flour- 1cup
Maida- 1cup
Salt -1/2 tsp
Butter-2tsp
Water

For Binding rotis:
Rice flour-1/2cup or maida-1/2cup or Wheat flour-1/2 cup
Oil

Method:
1.Mix wheat flour and maida with salt in a wide vessel,sprinkle water to make a soft dough,and knead for 10 minutes adding the oil and cover the dough with a wet cloth in a vessel and keep it aside for 2hours.
2.Take the rice flour on a plate.

The tutorial from Vahrevah's is here for reference ..

3.Make equal sized balls of the dough,take 2 balls and make small puris,Take one puri apply some oil on one side say 2tsp and put the oiled part over the flour so flour sticks to the oil and place another puri over the flour dusted side and roll this to a thin roti.
4.Heat a dosa tawa,really hot..cook the thin roti on both sides until you see small brown spots on both sides-Dont over cook,it might harden the roti and then take off heat and peel one roti from the other.
5.Fold like a kerchief and serve with vegetable curry.
6.Yummy!
