Apologies for having put this up and the vanished. But now back with a promise that I am going to try and update this regularly

Bachka

Ingredients

1)Gram -250 grams

2)Rice flour-100 gms

3)Turmeric-one fourth teaspoon

4)Edible oil for frying

What next?

1)Soak the gram into water overnight

2)Prepare a batter of gram ,rice,flour, turmeric then add salt as per taste.

3)Bake this on a hot girdle

Serve hot.

Hint: I prefer using mustard oil, it imparts a beautiful flavor.
Puas

Another one coming from Sandhya’s Kitchen- yummy Puas.

Pua: For those who don’t know, they are sweet, fluffy dumplings that melt in your mouth.

What you need?

Maida (all purpose flour)-1/2 kg

Sugar -as per taste

Cardamom powder

Edible oil for frying

Milk- One and a half cup.

Now that you have all the ingredients together follow these two simple steps:

1)Whisk the maida and milk together to form a smooth batter. Make sure there are no lumps. Add the cardamom powder and whisk again.

2)Now heat the oil if a wok (deep dish) to deep fry this. Over medium heat drop ladle full batter. Cook till golden brown on both sides, drain on a kitchen towel for excess oil.

I like serving them with ice cream.
