Quick dinner: Veggie rolls

On a day when we had the basic vegetables- potato, carrot and capsicum and were out of options and patience to make dinner, we decided to try making rolls. Chapathis are anyway prepared for dinner everyday. So it was just a matter of fixing something for the filling.

Method:

Dice the carrots and potatoes into cubes and pressure cook them until they are just about done and not very soft. Chop the capsicum well. Heat oil in a pan. Throw in some mustard and jeera. Wait until you hear the chata-pata sound. Add a bunch of chopped methi leaves if available. Add the capsicum to this and fry well. Once it is fried, add in the cooked vegetables. Season with salt and coarsely ground pepper-jeera.

You can apply some chutney on the chapathi- mint/ tamarind. Or tomato ketchup bhi chalega. Place this filling in it. Roll up the chapathi. Chitke le ready! MakLu gu ishta aagatte. Try maaDi. Namigu heLi, heng aaithu anta :P

Monsoon chat

It was raining when we were returning from work today. The slight drizzle, the cool breeze and an upbeat mood- all the makings for a perfect evening were there. Only one thing was missing. Piping hot samosas and jalebis!
If you're thinking that we prepared them to make our evening perfect, well, you're wrong. One, its too much oil. And two, we don't know how to make them :) The presence of the chatwala outside the house, who we consciously avoid, was not helping the situation much. So we decided to take the matter into our hands and make some chat ourselves. Pretty simple and tastes great.
What you need:
A packet of bingo mad angles ( or any such flat chips)
And no. The recipe doesn't end here. ;)
1 Onion finely chopped
1 carrot grated
1 tomato finely chopped
1 potato- salted and mashed
A cup of curd
Tamarind chutney

And how is it made? Gets made in a jiffy if you have the stuff ready.
Mix all the chopped veggies. Add salt and chilli powder to them. Then some chat masala to taste.
Now take each chip and place a bit of the potato mixture. Then a spoonful of the vegetable mix. Top it with some curd and tamarind chutney. Add a dash of chat masala. It is ready to be popped into your mouth! Yum!
We did not have mint at home today. Some mint would have added to the taste for sure! And we haven't called the recipe anything yet.
