Italian sada roti with local spinach

Mix dry ingredients thoroughly. Flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and Italian seasoning. Add some cookeen in small chunks. Crumble while mixing to get even spread. Add enough water to get soft dough and knead plentiful. Add small amounts of water until you get the right feel. I formed 6 small balls. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes. That was enough time for me to put the laundry on the line to dry. If you want and what I might try in the future is adding milk and yeast. Heat pot on high but you will need to lower the heat as time goes by. Roll out dough. The size I went for was the size of pita pockets. Use dry flour to avoid sticking. Cook on each side for about 1 minute. Cut each roti in half and create a pocket in each half. Store wrapped in foil to remain moist and serve with your favorite talkari. My mom made chorai bhaji or local spinach.

Quick One Pot Pelau

My mom wanted to do the cooking today. We used what was left of the chow mein ingredients and added chicken, rice, pimento, coconut milk, butter and seasoning. Wash the rice. Rinse the cut up veges. The chicken was already cleaned and seasoned and in pieces from the freezer and just had to thaw somewhat. Pelau is a simple and quick one pot meal. Simply stew the chicken, add ketchup and all the ingredients. Flavor wise I prefer a medium brown pelau and in between dry and wet. Pelau goes well with avocado, cole slaw or green salad. Golden Ray butter is nice but we had none plus we are trying to eat less salt. I like brown rice or I would try couscous if I had those to make it healthier.

Tropical Banana Pudding

This works best with overripe bananas but just ripe bananas will work too. When the banana is overripe, the taste and consistency is like a barbadine drink. Simply place the banana in some milk and use a fork to break apart the banana. The consistency should be lumpy. You can then add coffee or flax seed powder or walnuts or any sort of healthy addition that you like. In the photo I did not have overripe bananas that day.

Roasted Baigan with Caramelised Onions

This is done the same way as baigan choka except I cut up and caramalise a whole onion with as many cloves of garlic as you would like.
