Shengole





Shengole & I both belong to Marathwada region of Maharashtra. Whenever I wanted to eat something comfortable yet tasty my mum always prepared this great yet simple dish Shengole. Even this is still my favourite dish when I am sick. Now my kids love this too! Tangy, spicy & warm bowl of shengole is like way to calm your tummy as well those naughty taste buds. My mum prepare dry version of it too.  I will try to upload that soon! 

                  Preparation and ingredients are simple. Jowar flour, wheat flour, chickpea flour in the ratio of 3:2:1. Add spices like carom seeds, Cumin seeds, Sesame seeds, Turmeric powder, red chilli powder, & salt. I like to add some chopped Coriander as well. Add water as per needed and make dough. Now rest the dough and prepare water to boil it. Add Ghee in a pot, let mustard seeds, cumin seeds splutter, salt and turmeric powder along with crushed garlic. Let the water boil. Till that time prepare shape of shengole. Roll in to long rope like, cut it and join to make O shape. Shape all shengole and add them in boiling water. Now last step, prepare Buttermilk. In another pot add ghee, crushed garlic, curry leaves, turmeric powder, asafoetida, now add buttmilk. Save a small lemon size ball from earlier prepared dough and mix it well in buttermilk and let it boil steering continually.
Till now our shengole which are boiling in water must be cooked. Take them out of water & add it in to boiling Buttermilk. Now cover it and let it soak on a low flame for two minutes. Turn the flame off and keep it covered for 5 more minutes. Add chopped Coriander, & don't forget to add dollop of ghee and enjoy Marathwada special shengole.

                  This you won't find on any restaurant menu. This is one of the comfort food which can be make at home only. Try this by yourself with your kids. All the ingredients you can buy at any Indian grocery store. There are lots of recipes on YouTube.  If you like warm bowl of soup which comforts your soul so this is it foodies. Then you must try shengole.

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...
