Chapati






        Chapati is staple flat bread in northern India. I remember before my marriage whenever my mom prepares chapati and she use to put more than a tspoon ghee on my chapati always telling "come on eat it, your body needs this in long run". Till the date whenever I visit my parents house my mom is still the same so I am with my kids.

          Chapati or fulka is flat Indian bread. Also known as roti or fulka. This is eaten with curry or dal. Chapati is made only with wheat flour. And incomplete without Ghee (clarified butter) spread. To compare it chapati is Indian tortillas but made with wheat flour only. The process of making chapati is quit easy. Least ingredients and quick. Whenever the dough is prepared for chapati little salt and oil are added to make it soft and tasty. Chapati is staple bread allover India but northern meals are incomplete without chapati. It is healthy bread to eat and faster to make and digest than naan. Chapati is very easy to prepare and you can store it for 24 hours.
        Why to apply ghee on chapati? Because Ghee helps bringing down the Glycemic index of the chapati. It makes you feel fuller, so that you don't binge into other fattening foods later in the day. Ghee keeps chapati soft for long time. If packing tiffin or lunchbox thrn ghee helps to retain softness as freshly made.
         Very few Indian restaurant serves chapati but indian stores has frozen chapati. Or you don't get it nearby you can try to make your self. Do try it I am sure you will enjoy this healthy chapati!
Happy eating foodies!!! 😊

My neighbour auntie introduced this lip smacking crunchy flatbread to me. This flatbread is called Dharwadi bhakri, means crunchi millet flatbread which belongs to Bidar. Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months. Usually me & my daughter like this with special peanut chutney made in mortar and pestle with perticular type of peanuts called Solapuri peanut.                   Vangyachi bhaji is brinjal curry made with special spices paste which is dark in colour that's why it is called kala masala. Kala means black. Dry cocon...

Mirch ke Tipore

                      Mirchi ke Tipore, basically less spicy green pepper's side dish. This is one of the most favorite side dish even my 6 year old loves a lot. So you can guess the hotness of the peppers.                         This dish I came across when I was scrolling through some random videos. Name itself is so catchy so I started my search. After watching tons of recipe video and talking to my mom I figured out the authentic recipe and it was a real hit.
