Tangy spicy potato roll

This roll is again very easy to make, with minimum ingredients and is tangy and yummy. Acts as a good appetizer. Can also be used a full fledged lunch or dinner recipe. So, here goes the recipe -
Ingredients for roll:

• Flour (Aanta) - 2 cup
• Milk - 1/4 cup (or as required, to be used while kneeding the dough)
• Water (for kneeding the dough)

Ingredient for filling:

• Potatoes boiled and peeled - 4 to 5
• Curd - 1/4 cup
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
• Coriander powder - 1 tsp
• Cumin powder - 1 tsp
• Salt to taste
• Chaat masala powder - 1 tsp
• Green chilli - 2 to 3
• Green peas - 1/2 cup (optional)
• Onion - 1 large
• ginger - garlic paste - 1/2 tsp

Ingredients for garnish:

• Mayonnaise - 5 tbsp
• Coriander - finely chopped - 2 tbsp
• Tomato sauce - 2 tbsp
• Lettuce leaves - cleaned and washed

Method:

•  Cut the potato into small cubes (need to be of even size). You can even mash the potato lightly so that they break into uneven crumbled pieces.
• Add coriander, cumin, turmeric powder and chaat masala powder to the curd and mix well.
• Add potatoes to the curd mix and mix well so that the potatoes get coated with the curd.
• Now put the potato mix in the freeze to marinate
• Cut the onion into thin long slices and keep aside
• Now, while the potato marinates, we can prepare the rolls base (chapatis)
• For this, make a soft dough out of the flour by adding the milk and then water as required.
• Divide this dough into 5 equal large balls and roll each ball into a chapati (round one) with the help of the rolling pin
• Now heat a pan. Here you can either bake the rolled out chapatis without applying any oil or you can brush it up with butter or oil on both sides . Cook each one to a crisp chapati if you are using ghee or oil, put in a hot pot or bread basket so that it remains hot.
• Now heat a thick bottom pan and add 2-3 tbsp of refined oil to it.
• Once the oil heats up, add the onion and ginger garlic paste to it and saute till the onion turns translucent.
• Once the onion is translucent, add the peas to it and cook for a minute or so
• Now, add the marinates potato mix to this mixture and stir properly so that everything mixes up well and fry till potato turn a bit golden in color

• Now add salt to this mix as per taste and mix well.
• Spread out each chapati one by one, spread a layer of mayonnaise and a layer of tomato sauce on it. Spread a lettuce leave on top of it to cover almost the whole roll.
• In the middle, add a thin layer of the potato mix.
• Spread some coriander over it
• Roll out the roles from it.
• Serve hot with green chutney or chilli sauce.

And the rolls are ready...

Super Fast Egg Bhurji (Dry Egg Dish)

This Egg bhurji is another super fast recipe that I tried this week. It takes just 10-15mins for preparing it for 2-3 people. Its one of my time saving favorites now and guess what, hubby is not very keen of dry recipes (those without gravy) but he liked this one very much. It can be made as a replacement to a dry vegetable to have with chapatis or it can be used as a quick delicious side dish to almost any main course recipe. It can also be used as an appetizer during morning breakfast or evening snacks - in fact, anytime :)
So, without wasting further of your precious time, here goes the recipe:

Ingredients:

• Eggs - 3
• Onion - 1 medium
• Tomato - 1 medium
• Salt - to taste
• Oil - 2 tbsp
• Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
• Cumin powder - 1/4 tsp
• Turmeric - 1/4 tsp 
• Coriander leaves - cleaned and cut into small pieces - 1 tsp
• Green chilli - 1

Method:

• Cut onion, tomato into small pieces
• Cut green chilli into fine pieces
• In a thick bottom container, heat oil
• When oil heats up, add the tomato and onion and saute till the onion turns translucent
• At this point, add the spices,chilli and salt
• Now, break the eggs and pour the content in the container
• Mix the egg well with quick and swift movements of the spatula with rest of the ingredients. After a minute or so, the recipe would look like this:

                         

• Stir for a minute or so, you need to take care that the eggs are neither sticky and watery nor do they dry up completely. When this consistency is reached (2-3 minutes after pouring the eggs in the container), turn off the flame
• Add cut coriander leaves to this and your dry egg recipe is ready. Serve it hot with any main course, tea, or you can have it all on its own as well.
