Super Easy Methi Parantha/Roti for Any Time

Let me start by saying I am SUPER TIRED! May be because it was getting back to work after a week long break.  While I was excited to get back to my work, I missed waking up post 8.00 am ( I was already done with breakfast and down 1 coffee by then), I missed being in my pajamas entire day, and I missed just doing nothing.

Punjabi Pinni from my Grandma's Kitchen

My Grandma (mom's mom) or Biji, as we called her, had a very close relationship with her grand kids.  I would like to add that she had the closest relationship with me and my brother ;), Sorry cousins! Had to break the hard news to you! Though she was allowed to go only to a primary school, she was the smartest lady around.  She could mold herself according to the situation and environment she was in..  She was a kid with kids and an adult amongst adults!

Vegeterian Puff

I have mentioned this at numerous occasions earlier how I love watching The Food network Show. Yesterday, on one such cooking show, they showed making Apple Turnover.  Now I am not a big fan of apple pie or anything similar, but an idea cropped in my head.  I suddenly had this urge to make vegetarian patties using puff pastry sheets.  I have never seen one of those here in the US, so I had a good reason to make them aswell.  

A Crappy Day Turned Around!

Well I was suppose to be with my co-workers in San Diego building a house.  gap intelligence recently joined hands with the San Diego chapter of Habitat for Humanity.   Since Salman Khan is a brand ambassador for Habitat for Humanity I really really really wanted to go to ......However, I woke up to a dishwasher water leakage, which has my kitchen floors and cabinets completely crapped out!  Hence, Here I am sitting at home in Irvine watching Food Network Star.

I decided to turn this day around and use my Gitts Rasmalai Mix.  Although I think I had the right measurements, the batter did not turn out well and hence the rasmalai discs did not turn out as discs.  Hence, that was the second crappy thing of the day.

However, I decided to make rasmalai, but from scratch.  I used Hetal and Anuja's recipe for two reasons -, actually three and in the following order:
1. They were the first ones to show up
2. I have used their Egg Roti recipe before and it worked
3. This recipe seemed pretty simple.

Right now my rasmalai is cooling in the fridge and I plan to enjoy it later tonight.    My blogging button is turned on for today so I guess you will see many more posts from me.

Enjoy!

:Imported from my old blog: Making Bhindi (ladyfinger)

Get bhindi from market ... One way to check that you have the right bhindi is -- take a bhindi and break the tail a little .. if it breaks easily that means it is just perfect.. if it doesnt that mean its not good....
Wash it and leave it aside for few hours to dry.. You can also wipe off the water using a towel or just let it to dry naturally...
Once dried.. cut bhindi into small pieces - about an inch in size leaving both the edges.. they no good...

Take a tablespoon of oil in a pan... Heat it well... Add the cut bhindi into the same.. Let the gas be on a high flame.. DO NOT COVER the pan.....Let it be on the high flame for about 10 mins... Add onions now.... Let them turn a little soft (Another 5 - 7 mins).. Add Salt and Red chilly powder to taste.. Reduce the flame.. Let it be on the flame for 5 more mins or till you think it looks cooked. Cover it for few mins ( 2 - 3).

You are ready to eat your bhindi!!!!!

Enjoy!
