Wheat Flour/ Atta Adai

Ingredients

  • Wheat flour - 1 & ½ cups atta
  • Onion - 1 big sized
  • Sambar powder - 1 & ½ tsp Replace with 1 tsp red chili powder, ½ tsp coriander seeds powder ( optional)
  • Turmeric - ¼ tsp
  • Green chilies -finely chopped as per taste
  • Curry leaves - 1 sprig
  • Salt
  • Water As needed
  • Cumin seeds 1 tsp                           
  •   oil for cooking
  •  Instructions
    • Chop the onions finely, add the chopped onions,turmeric,sambar powder,salt,curry leaves to the flour and mix well.
    • Add water (for me it consumed ½ cup plus little more) and make a smooth dough. Divide into six equal sized balls.
    • Take a zip lock cover/ parchment paper/ butter paper/ banana leaf over a platform and grease it with few drops of oil. Flatten the dough ball with hands into a little bit thicker than roti.
    • Heat a flat pan,drizzle with oil and toast the adai both the sides in medium flame till golden brown spot appears.

    Notes

    my mom makes a raita with golden fried onions+curd,seasoned with mustard,urad dal and curry leaves. The best combo for this adai.

     I didn't add cumin seeds.

    You can also add the onions to the adai after sautéing it.

    A chopped tomato can also be added,after frying it…

    Replace sambar powder with 1 tsp of red chili powder and ½ tsp dhaniya (coriander) powder.

Eggless Mango Waffles

Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of wheat flour, 1/4 cup of oats flour, and a pinch of baking soda and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
Pour 1 cup of mango puree into the dry ingredients mixture. Stir until the mango puree is fully incorporated into the flour mixture.
Gradually add milk to the mixture until you reach the desired consistency. The batter should be smooth and pourable but not too thin.
 Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

 Once the waffle iron is hot, pour the batter onto the iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp.

Once cooked, remove the waffles from the iron and place them on a serving plate. Top them off with a scoop of ice cream, tutti frutti, dry fruits, and chopped mangoes for a delightful garnish. 

Serve the Mango Waffles warm and enjoy the tropical flavours!
