TomatoChappati

Tomato Chappati:

I came to know that Anu is hosting an event called LGSS-Tomato between 5th Nov to 5th Dec 2011. This LGSS series was started by Vatsala in June 2011. Checked out my dining table, luckily found Tomato gojju and added it along with Chappati.

Ingredients:

• Atta or Wheat flour – 250 gms
• Ghee – 2 tsp
• Oil – 4 tbsp
• Salt to taste
• Water to make Chappati dough
• Tomato gojju – 4 tbsp

Method:

1. Take atta in a bowl, add ghee, 2 tbsp oil, salt and mix them well along with water to make a dough
2. Add oil as and when you mix the dough well so that the dough would be soft enough (you can use milk or curds to get more softness)
3. Make small balls and roll them using rolling pin to a circle size and apply oil and tomato gojju on them, spread it across the circle
4. Fold the sides twice so that a triangle is formed
5. Press the triangle so that the dough is equally spread to make chappatis
6. Put the chappati on tawa or frying pan
7. After it’s roasted on first side, turn it to the other side and spread oil on first side
8. Turn it again and spread oil on second side, roast it
9. Serve tomato chappati with curds

FirstEvent-BSIOnion

Thanks for Michelle to give me an option to present this week's BSI ingredient. BSI stands for Blogger Secret Ingredient. This was started by Beth. 

Week #89 (2nd Aug to 8th Aug) BSI event is hosted by Debbi

This is a kind of Iron-Chef-style recipe challenge, where
a. Each week a new host picks an ingredient
b. Readers can submit a recipe.
c. The contest starts on a Monday, and recipes need to be submitted by Sunday night of that week.
d. Then the next day the host chooses a winner and picks someone to host new week's contest.

Jac keeps update of all events in her blog, and I guess I am late to host this event.

BSI Ingredient for Week #88 & Week #89 is Onion.

Onions are available thro' out the world in different colours. In India it is available in Red and White, but when I visited Paris in this April I was surprised to see green onion.

Send your recipes to me latest by July 31st 10pm at hemasrini dot 2007 at gmail dot com. You can either link to a blog post or send the entire recipe by an email - please send photos if you have got them.

NOTE: once you've sent your recipe, please post a comment on my blog, just to double-check that I received it. At this time, odds are pretty good for an entry to win!



The winner will receive "Aachi Chilli Powder" from India.

If you are considering hosting, please let me know in your email. Prizes are entirely the discretion of each week's host. Be forewarned - if you participate, I may send an email to hit you up to host next week's round (it's easy, and you'll meet and be viewed by all kinds of foodbloggers)


To recap -


Hosts:


Pick an ingredient, preferably one that is in season and readily available and not too expensive;


Link back to all the other previous weekly hosts;
