NOODLES FROM HANDMADE ROTI

 

Chowmin... a delecious breakfast or evening snacks. 

Today I am sharing a different way of making chowmin from old handmade rotis. Most of Indians have their dinner with handmand rotis. In major time we have leftover rotis in our kitchen after dinner,it is really an annoying factor for us. ( for home chef😁).

It comes to my mind to make chowmin from leftover rotis.

Noodles made with old handmade rotis. Cook this way without discarding the previous day's handmade roti.

 
Ingredients:
Old handmade roti...3
Eggs... 2
Chopped onions... 1 cup
Green chillies....sliced if desired.
Carrot..1
bean...2
capsicum...1/2...cut them all into small pieces.
Tomato sauce...2 to 3 tbsp
Red Chilli powder... 1 tsp
Turmeric powder...1 pinch...you may not give it.
White oil... 3 tbsp Salt to taste.

Method... Cut the old handmade rotis with scissors very thin and long to look like noodles.
Put the kadai on gas... add white oil... make egg batter and add in the oil to make scramble eggs. Take out from karai and keep aside. Now lightly fry all the vegetables and onions. After frying for 2 minutes stir with thinly sliced ​​roti pieces....add salt...again sprinkle little water. Do not keep the prepared product gas for too long otherwise it will harden the dish. When it is well mixed, add black pepper powder. 

Now take it out of the gas oven and serve with tomato sauce.

GOURD SUKTO,BENGALI RECIPE IN DIFFERENT WAY

 Bengali authentic Sukto is of various types. Sukto means many

 kinds of spices. But today I will share a very

 simple yet delicious sukto recipe.

Ingredients:

 
Gourd - one
Bitter gourd - 2
Spices - Panchphoran - 1 teaspoon,
bay leaves - 1,
Red dry chillies - 1
Ginger paste - 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Coriander powder-2 tbsp
Sugar - 2 tbsp
White oil - 3 tbsp
Salt to taste.

Method -
Wash and peel the gourd and cut it into small pieces. Cut the bitter gourd thinly. Thinly slice the skin of the gourd.
Place the pan on the gas... put white oil in it. When the oil is hot, fry the bitter gourd and gourd skins. Add panchphoran, bay leaves and dry chillies to that oil. When the oil is done, add the chopped gourd. Add little salt. Cover and let it cook. If you think you can lightly cook the gourd in pressure cooker...I did it. It makes cooking faster.
However, if you boil it, don't waste the water of the gourd, then the benefits of the gourd will no longer be available. After some time stir again with ginger paste, little turmeric, coriander powder...then cover. When the gourd is cooked well and the water dries up, stir well with the sugar. Stir for another 5 minutes. Now spread the fried bitter gourd and gourd peels on top. Add some ghee on top for better taste. I did not add ghee. Serve with hot rice...can't forget the taste.
Eat well and stay healthy.
