DULARI'S COOKING

Pani Puri ( Gol Gapa )

2009-07-24T06:38:00.003+05:30

Ingredients:

Pani (Spicy Water):

1 cup mint leaves (Pudina)
2 to 4 green chilies (adjust to taste)
3 tbsp tamarind paste (Imli)
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp black salt
1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/4 tsp ginger powder
1/8 tsp asafetida (Hing)
1 tsp roasted cumin seed powder
1 tsp sugar (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 cups water (adjust to taste)

Puris:

1/4 cup All Purpose flour (Maida or Plain Flour)
3/4 cup fine Sooji (Semolina Flour)
1/2 cup water (as needed)

Method:

Pani (Spicy Water):Blend everything except the water together to make a fine paste. While blending, add water as needed to blend.
Taste to adjust the green chilies as they can be mild or hot. Add more lemon juice, sugar, and salt as needed to your desired taste. Remember you will be adding more water to dilute so paste should be spicier. Strain the paste using water as needed.
After straining mix the paste with remaining water or adjusting to the taste.
The pani (water) will taste best if refrigerated for a day.

Puris:

Mix the flour and sooji. Add water as needed to make firm dough. Knead the dough until it is pliable. Cover the dough with a damp cloth for about ten minutes.
Damp two kitchen towels, spread one damp towel over a cookie sheet or plain surface, close to where you are going to fry the puris.
Divide the dough into about 60 small balls. Keep them under a damp cloth.
Start rolling each ball to about a 2-inch diameter circle. Place over a damp towel and cover with another damp towel. Do this for all 60 puris. TIP: Placing the puris between damp cloths helps the puris to puff evenly on all sides.
Heat the oil on medium high heat. Oil should be about 1 1/2 inch high in frying pan. To test the oil, put a little piece of dough in the oil. The oil is ready if the dough comes up right away and does not change color.
Start frying the puris, starting first with the puri you first rolled.
Put one puri in the oil and press lightly. When it puffs turn over and put another puri in the oil. Keep adding six to eight puris at a time. Fry the puris until they are golden-brown all around by turning a few times. You may adjust the heat as needed while frying.
Take the puris out and place over paper towel, so the excess oil is absorbed. TIP: When taking the puris out of the frying pan, make sure to tilt the skimmer so that the excess oil is drained before placing on the paper towel.
Fry all the puris. They should be crisp and puff like a ball.

गुलाब जामुन

2009-07-08T06:42:00.005+05:30

सामग्री :

चीनी ( शक्कर ) ढाई कप
गुलाब जामुन का मावा २५० ग्राम
दूध का पाउडर ५० ग्राम
मैदा ५० ग्राम
इलाइची पाउडर १ टी स्पून
घी तलने के लिए

विधि :

चीनी में डेढ़ कप पानी डालकर चमच से चलाते हुए सिर्फ़ एक उबल आने तक पकाकर चाशनी बनाएं ।
मावे में १ टेबल स्पून पानी डालकर गुंथकर अच्छा मुलायम बनाएं । उस में दूध का पाउडर और मैदा अच्छे-से मिलाकर मनपसंद आकार के गुलाब जामुन बनाएं ।

कलाकंद बर्फी

2009-07-07T06:35:00.004+05:30

सामग्री :

भेंस (Buffalo) का ताजा दूध ४ लीटर
फिटकरी (Alum) पाउडर १ टी स्पून
चीनी ५०० ग्राम
इलाइची पाउडर १ टी स्पून
केसर १०-१२ सीकें

सजाने के लिए :

चाँदी का वर्क, बादाम, पिस्ते, काजू

विधि :

बड़ी, सफ़ेद एंव मोटी तहवाली कड़ाही में या नॉन स्टिक कड़ाही में तेज आंच पर दूध उबलने के लिए रखें ।
दूध जब उबलने शुरू हो जाए तब उसमें चुटकी-चुटकी फिटकरी पाउडर मिलाते जाये । इससे दूध में मलाई के लच्छे तैयार हो जाएंगे । ( ध्यान रहे फिटकरी का पाउडर ज्यादा पड़ गया तो बर्फी का दाना कड़क बन जाता है । )
यह लच्छेदार दूध तेज आंच पर चमच से चलाते हुए गाढ़ा होने पकाए ।
जब दूध गाढ़ा होकर उसमें पानी के बुलबुले आना बंद हो जाए तब उसमें चीनी मिलाकर और थोड़ा पकाएं । पहले यह मिश्रण गाढ़ा होगा; बाद में उसमें थोड़ा बादामी रंग आना शुरू हो जाएगा । तब मिश्रण दो उँगलियों के बीच लेकर देखें । अगर उसकी सख्त- सी गोली बनती है तो आप का मिश्रण मिल्क केक के लिए तैयार है ।
इस मिश्रण में केसर और इलाइची पाउडर मिलेइए । तुंरत इसे लंबे एल्यूमिनियम के बर्तन को अन्दर से घी चुपड़कर उसमें यह मिश्रण डालिए और बर्तन ढँक दीजिये ।
एक बर्तन में केक का बर्तन रखकर उस के आजू बाजू में बर्फ भरिए . एक घंटे तक केक सेट होने दीजिये ।
बर्तन से केक निकलते वक्त बर्तन दो मिनट गरम पानी में रखिये । फिर प्लेट में पलटकर केक निकाले । उसे चाँदी का वर्क, बादाम, पिस्ते, और काजू से सजाएं ।
केक के ऊपर से लंबे स्लाइस काटिए । यह केक बाहर से हलके बादामी रंग का दीखई देगा ।

नोट : केक का बर्तन बर्फ में रखने से केक की बाहरी परत जल्दी ठंडी होकर हलके रंग की रहती है जबकि अन्दर ज्यादा गर्मी के कारन रंग गहरा होता है ।
