Indian Cooking - Sometimes an adventure ride or a jigsaw puzzle!

 


This morning for my breakfast, I thought will make a small Bhakri (thick chapati, roasted with Ghee or Oil) using the home grown Spinach and Onions along with some spices and 
Sattu powder (brought from the farm) + Jowar flour.

This was more like a random mix of available ingredients but for the person, I am, I can already sense the taste of the outcome before I even cook it...:P 
Till here, I was throughly enjoying my adventurous ride...

But, when it came to rolling the dough, to make chapati, it all failed, off-course due to Jowar's presence...(which I knew and had kneaded with hot water) but still...it won't taking shape and I decided to take the pan at room temperature, applied some oil and using hands and fingers, I tapped the dough such as to give a shape of a disc and switched the stove on. Half way thru, when I had to flip it,
 a few places the Bhakri appeared to be Drought-stricken land  and at the flip, some pieces came-out and I had to literally put a lot of effort to match the fallen pieces with utmost care to see the cooked or non-cooked side before placing it back in the main piece....and Ta daa! The award for Bhakri Jig-saw puzzle winner goes to me!! :P (clap...clap)

For a sec. the puzzle resembled to that of my life ..ha ha. But the final taste and outcome of all this circus was soul satisfying...so, Nooo complaints!! 💕

Love you, Tan.
