Roti - Tawa chapathi (Indian Bread)

Roti or Tawa Chapati is an Indian Bread made from whole wheat flour(Aata). It is very popular in northern and western part of India.

Today i am going to show you how to make Roti or Tawa chapathi (Indian Bread).

Ingredients:

1. Whole wheat flour 2 cups
2. Water 1 cup
3. Ghee or Butter 1/2 cup (for applying on the Roti)

Method:

1. Take Wheat flour in a wide bowl.
2. Slowly mix water in this flour, knead well. It has to come to a consistency of a soft dough.
3. Keep it 30 minutes a side.
4. Make the dough into small round balls.
5. Take one dough ball; dust some dry wheat flour on its top of it. With the help of a wooden chapati-roller, flatten the dough into a round thin circle(Roti).(Use enough dry flour to avoid the dough from sticking to the wooden roller).
6. Carefully place the flattened dough on a pre-heated tawa(pan) on a medium flame.
7. Heat the roti on till both the sides till slighty brown.
8. Remove from Pan and place the roti on the flame till roti balloons up.

Sri Krishna Jayanthi / Janmashtami Greetings to all. Though for a majority of India, its a month late, some parts of India, that goes by solar calendar,  is celebrating Sri Krishna Janmashtami on 8th September 2012.  In Manipal, the city where I am living currently is also celebrating this festival in a grand manner this week along with its twin city, the Temple Town,  Udupi.

South Indian Filter Coffee

Filter Coffee I like coffee since childhood. I learnt how to make Filter coffee from my mother.My husband also is coffee lover. So my coffee liking continues to influence my present home as well. Filter coffee powder is different from instant coffee powder. In India, Filter coffee powder is sold in coffee shops and in grocery stores.

Upper cup is like a filter(with pierced base) for filtering out the brewed coffee. The upper cup usually comes with a lid and 2. Bottom cup to collect the decoction(brewed coffee) Today i will show you how to make Indian filter coffee. I have used a tradit
