Kids Special - Veggie Chappati

My DD likes eating chappati as a roll dipping in Yogurt (like Bread stick & sauce). So this time I decided to make a different version of chappati with little vegetables. This will prevent me from worrying about missing vegetables with chappati.                     

                       

Ingredients:                

Whole Wheat Flour -------> 1.5 cup

Potato ---------------------> 1 cooked

Carrot ---------------------> ½ cup shredded

Zucchini -------------------> 1/2 cup shredded

Salt ------------------------> A2Y taste

                       

Procedure                  

v  Mix the flour with hot water, little oil & other ingredients listed above. Better to add very less water since the vegatables also relase water               

v  Knead the dough for few minutes and leave it for some time.                       

v  Then make chappatis in the tawa until golden brown.            

v  Potato keeps the chappati sof for longer time. So I sent chappatis for her lunch.                  

Yieepee! Her Lunch box was empty next day to my surprise.
                       

Ideas:             

ü  Adding shredded Cabbage to the flour is also another option.                       

                       

                       

Zucchini - Turnip - Kohlrabi Gravy

Yesterday's dinner was chappati and I wanted to try something different with all the veggies I had. I had Broccoli, two kinds of Zucchini (one is long, dark green & other is short, light green), Turnip, Kohlrabi, Purple Cabbage. I got all those veggies from local Farm stand.             

                       

Ingredients:              

Onion ---------------------> 1 cup Chopped fine

Tomato -------------------> 1 cup chopped fine

Green Chillies ------------> 2 chopped fine

Ginger Garlic Paste ------> 1 tsp

Broccoli ------------------> 1 crown into small florets

Bell Pepper --------------> 1, chopped into cubes

Zucchini ------------------> 1 Chopped into cubes

Turnip --------------------> 1 Chopped into cubes

Kohlrabi ------------------> 1 Chopped into cubes

Carrot --------------------> 1 Chopped into cubes

Purple Cabbage ---------> ½ cup sliced thin

Chilli powder -------------> 2 tsp

Dhania Powder ----------> 3 tsp

Turmeric -----------------> 1 tsp

Salt -----------------------> A2Y taste

                       

Seasoning                  

Mustard seeds ------------> 1 tsp

Jeera ----------------------> 2 tsp

                       

                       

Procedure                  

v  In a Sauce Pan, do the seasoning with 5 tsp. oil                     

v  Add Ginger Garlic Paste, Onions, Tomato, Green Chillies and fry until the oil comes out. Because of Ginger garlic paste, the mixture will be sticky at the bottom and easily burnt.

v  Add the veggies - Carrot, Turnip, Kohlrabi , Turnip & bell Pepper                    

v  Add Chilli powder, Coriander Powder & Salt. Mix well.              

v  Once it start boiling then add Broccoli, Zucchini, & Cabbage               

v  Close it with the lid; leave it in medium until the veggies are cooked            

v  Garnish with cilantro               

v  Ready to serve with Chappati.             

                       

Turnip & Kohlrabi really enhanced the flavor of the curry and it tasted yum yum yummy. When I went to India last month, I got home made Chilli Powder & Coriander Powder. I guess that is also another reason for the delicious taste.                       

                       

Ideas:            

ü  The Chappatis made with mashed Potato & Wheat flour are so soft and this gravy was exact combo.
