Spiced Millet Flatbread
Embark on a culinary adventure with this vibrant Millet Roti, infused with the zesty kick of chilli and garlic. To craft this wholesome flatbread, begin
by combining millet flour, finely minced garlic, crushed red chillies, a pinch of salt, aromatic cumin seeds, and coarsely ground coriander seeds in a mixing bowl. Add a touch of ghee for richness. Gradually incorporate warm water, kneading the ingredients until a soft, pliable dough forms. Allow the dough to rest briefly, covered with a damp cloth for about five minutes, ensuring it remains moist and easy to handle. Once rested, divide the dough into small portions and roll each one into a slightly thick roti. Cook these flatbreads on a preheated, hot pan, flipping them to ensure they are cooked through and lightly browned on both sides. A final brush of ghee adds a beautiful sheen and enhanced flavour, making these rotis a perfect accompaniment to your favourite chutneys or a side of fresh vegetables, offering a delightful gluten-free and fibre-rich alternative.
Energizing Oats Pudding
Uncover the secret to a naturally sweet and incredibly nourishing energy booster with this Oats Date Pudding, a creation championed by food blogger Kalpana Sharma. This recipe calls for half a cup of rolled oats, a little over half a cup of creamy coconut milk, a quarter teaspoon of warming cinnamon powder, approximately 20 grams of finely chopped seedless dates, four to five chopped walnuts for a satisfying crunch, and one cup of water. The preparation begins by bringing water to a rolling boil in a deep saucepan. Introduce the oats to the boiling water and reduce the heat to low, stirring consistently to prevent any sticking or clumping as the oats cook. As the oats soften and the mixture begins to thicken into a creamy consistency, stir in the coconut milk, cinnamon powder, and the pre-chopped dates. Continue to cook for a few more moments, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully and the pudding to achieve its desired thickness. After switching off the stove, transfer the pudding to a serving bowl and let it cool slightly; this allows the texture to improve. For an extra burst of flavour and added nutritional value, garnish with chopped walnuts and more dates just before serving.
