Capsicum suji Toast

Capsicum suji Toast

Ingredients for 12-15 toasts:

1. Wheat Bread

2. Suji 8-10 table spoon (125-150 grams)

3. Milk Malaie/cream (2-3 table spoon), Milk (I use and recommend desi cow milk) 100-150 ml

4. Cucumber (half peace)

5. Capsicum (one peace)

6. Green beans (6-8 peaces)

7. Tomato (One peace)

8. Green Coriander Chopped (One tea spoon)

9. Ginger small amount (as per your taste)

10. Black pepper powder (Half tea spoon)

11. White Salt

12. Garam Masala Powder (It’s a mix of all masalas in powder form, know as garam masala), as per your taste, I use approx. one quarter of spoon

13. Desi Cow Ghee/olive oilPreparation:

1. Chop all vegetables separately into small peaces

2. Mix suji powder with milk and malaie. Mix properly

3. Mix all vegetables into this paste. See that you have nice balance of vegetables and the paste. Get the medium density of the paste neither too solid nor very liquidly.

4. Mix salt, black pepper powder and Garam Masala powder in the paste

Cooking:

1. Heat tawa/pan, apply some ghee/oil

2. Apply paste on the one side of the wheat bread toast, cook this side of the toast first.

3. Now you have options of both side topping toast or one side topping toast. In case of both sides topping toast, apply paste of the other side of the toast as well (while other side is getting cooked).

4. Cook both sides of the toast nicely (The surface color should be brownish white, neither it should be blackish and too much white).

5. Serve it with your favorite sauces and drinks, I love it with ginger-eliechi-tulsi-desi-cow milk

My mobile camera could not capture the taste but tell you all children including my daughter loved these toasts.

Pineapple Halwa

This halwa is not very popular in North of India. I ate in Banglore Ashram and tell you it taste simply great. I think it is more populer in south of India. I cooked it first time tonight here in Bhilai Ashram Kitchen and every one loved it (although pine apple was little sour as per my taste but jigish bhia and local team here finished all of it). So specially for north Indians, here is the recipe...

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups crushed pineapple

1 cup milk

Half cup rava/semolina/cream of wheat

3-4 tsp sugar (for Meerut and Muzaffernagar 5-6 tsp :-))

1-2 Tbsp ghee

A pinch of powdered cardamom and Almonds or Dry Fruits

Method: Heat the ghee in a pan and add the rava to it & toast it till it is done. (You can tell by the smell when it’s done.)
Add the milk followed by the crushed pineapple. Stir continuously and keep mixing well on low to medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. Add the almonds, sugar & cardamom powder and continue to cook for another 2 -3 minutes.

Serve hot or cold.

Love,

Anurag
