Layer Parathas: Made with a single ingredient – a huge helping of skill ! We tried saving on the oil used, and ended up with parathas minus the layers ..
Ghiya Koftas:
Take one long ghiya, wash it nicely, peel the skin off and grate. Take 2 cups of this grated ghiya and add 2 tbsp of besan, 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, ½ tsp green chilli paste, one boiled and mashed potato. Knead all this together and make into small balls. Steam these balls in a pressure cooker for about 20 mts, so that the balls harden.
For the gravy, take 2 medium sized onions finely chopped, some ginger (approx. ½” in size), a little green chilli finely chopped and sauté this mixture. Make a tomato puree out of 3 tomatoes and add the same. Add salt, ½ tsp coriander powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder, ½ tsp garam masala, around 1½ cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add the previously prepared koftas to this paste and let it cook on low flame for about 5 – 10 mts.
- Level of difficulty: Difficult
- Serves 5
- Self Appraisal – 5/10
- Too much water in the gravy, distinct tomato taste in the mouth
- Tip I got to know later: – The tomato must be pureed after removing the skin (another tip: put the tomatoes in hot water, to simplify this)
