Left over rice chilla/pancake

Hello friends! Looking at title above you must be wondering what is this? Actually, I did not know what to name this dish so just named it with the main ingredient I used here. I had some rice left over and kept thinking where to use this and that's when this idea popped up. Eager to know what I made, so let's proceed with ingredients and method.

Ingredients:

Some leftover cooked rice
1 cup wheat flour
2 green chillies chopped fine
1 small piece of chopped ginger
1 small bunch of coriander leaves chopped
1tsp coriander seeds
1tsp red chilli powder
a pinch of asafoetida
salt to taste
1 tbsp oil + more for making pancakes
water as required


Method:

In a pan add wheat flour and add other things minus the extra oil. Add water to get dosa batter consistency. In fact make it little thinner to make it easy to pour. Heat a dosa tawa add some oil and pour just like dosa. Let it cook on one side. If needed put little oil on side to make it easy to turn. Once the bottom is done, flip over to cook other side. Once cooked, serve hot with chutney, curd or even tomato ketchup.
Left over rice is used up in nice way in a new dish. Hope you like it. Over to you for feedback.

Here is step by step pics. 

 


Notes: 
You can add vegetables to enhance the flavours and make it even more healthy.

Healthy Green Roti with spinach

Hello everyone! How have you all been? My today’s recipe Is again a simple yet delicious and healthy roti. Everyone knows the benefits of  greens in our diet, so I won’t start the lecture on it again and I think time for  everyone to be popeye the sailor man again. Ha ha ha… 

Lets begin our spinach roti.

Ingredients: 

1cup chopped greens(  I have used spinach leaves, methi leaves, dill leaves and along with it one more green called khatta)

2green chillies

¼ inch ginger

¼ tsp each of coriander powder, amchur(drymango) powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder

Salt to taste

Some coriander leaves

2tbsp ghee

Water as needed

Wheat flour for rotis

Method:

Chop all the greens and keep in one cup, chop ginger and green chillies into small pieces. In a bowl, put wheat flour and all greens. Mix it nicely without water, add  salt and other dry masalas including chillies, ginger and green chillies, add ghee also, mix properly and add water slowly to make a nice tight dough. 

Make atta like this.

Heat tawa.  Make balls from wheat flour a size bigger than lemons, roll it and cook it on tawa on both sides till its done, if needed  brush a little oil or ghee for it to cook properly,  keep the flame on medium heat.

Take out on plate and serve it hot with chutneys, tomato sauce or even dahi, you can have it as it is also.

In my home I make this for breakfast but at times when I am not in mood for elaborate dinner I make this as light dinner.  I have used ghee and oil a lot. You can skip the part of extra ghee or oil when you cook.

Hope you like this green, green roti with all leafy vegetables. Let me know what you think.

  Green palak roti is ready to be eaten.

INSTANT BREAD UPMA

Hello! Today I would show you one very simple easy to cook dish. It’s a breakfast item and it cooks in jiffy.

INGREDIENTS:

3-4 bread slices ( you can use old ones if it has not gone bad or you can use fresh ones too)

1         onion finely chopped

2          tomatoes finely chopped

¼ tsp   mustard seeds

Few leaves of curry patta

1tbsp oil

1 green chilli cut in small pieces

Salt to taste

¼ tsp turmeric powder

¼ tsp  coriander powder

¼ tsp red chilli powder

For garnishing  some cut coriander leaves

METHOD:

In a  pan  put oil, let it heat then add mustard seeds and curry patta and green chilli.  Stir for a min till mustard seeds splutter.  Put  chopped onion pieces and let them turn bit pink. Then  put cut tomato pieces and stir again for a min.  Next put 1cup of water, stir and add salt and other spices. Let it cook for few minutes till tomatoes soften.  While its still watery break  bread pieces by hand and put in the pan. Stir it and bread would take up all the water making it soft.  Stir some more till it comes to required thick consistency.

Switch off gas and put bread upma in plate. Put coriander leaves to garnish and serve hot.

Optional: you can add ginger garlic paste with onion and add some more vegetables if you prefer.

I have kept it mild but you can increase the chilli if you want it more hot.  This above recipe serves one.  Increase quantities if you want to make more.

There is a dry upma method too and in that no tomatoes or water is used but its too dry so I prefer the one with gravy.

Enjoy!
