Rainy Sunday Morning.. And Egg Dosa

-

California weather is really weird. It rains in the winter... shines the very day after.. and then again becomes cloudy the next day.. It is weird..

I think this happened last winter.... I got up hearing the pitter-patter of rain drops on my window pane and I was happily shocked that it was already 9:30 in the morning. Good lord, did not wake me up thinking that it is a Sunday and everyone needs the rest. But then, I had to think of a brunch which will be quick and have proteins as well (a must add ingredient these days in my household). I had some left over dosa batter, but to make some curry with it was out of the question. Have you ever felt that, when you wake up late you feel very very hungry and need to eat something right away (well a 10 min break is fine)? The same feeling went running in my stomach... So I thought up to combine dosa and eggs with a glass of milk and of course our very own Apple for the brunch.

Healthy-check; Proteins-check;Fruits-check;Tasty-Lets see !!!



Ingredients (Made 4 Egg Dosas)

  • Dosa batter (I had store bought but home made will be better, like always)
  • Eggs - 4
  • Pepper powder (Some people use Red Chilli Powder)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil (Used Olive oil)

Process
  • Heat a Dosa pan on medium heat. Wipe it with a little oily tissue paper so that all dust is gone and the pan has a virtual oil layer.
  • Mean time, break an egg in a small bowl, add salt and pepper and whisk.
  • Take 1.5 dosa spoons of batter and spread it like you would spread a dosa.
  • Drizzle little oil
  • Add the whisked egg to the exact middle of the dosa and spread it with the spatula all over the dosa.
  • Drizzle some more oil and let the dosa cook. 
  • When you see the dosa browning at the edges, lift it and flip it over so that the egg side goes down for cooking.
  • Keep it that way for 2 more mins so that the egg is cooked.
  • Flip and fold and serve hot.

Chicken Patra Poda

 Since the last few days, I have been binge watching YouTube videos of some Odiya Vloggers in the US. There are some really entertaining folks who sing & dance & go about their lives while sharing ups & downs with us (their subscribers). Sometimes they get too personal but it's the age of Social Media so I guess that is perfectly fine if the creator is OK with that. These folks that I watch are mostly girls ..Actually they are all girls.. hmm.. time for me to expand the scope a bit?? may be !!.  Anyways, one of the girls, lives in the eastern part of US & has a HUGE Odiya friends circle who meet almost every week for a party or picnic or potluck and she makes these yummy (almost) contemporary style Odiya food recipes that it makes me want to go back to the east coast & make her my sister. Yes, I used to live there & the first chance I got I left because of the harsh winters. I just could not bear the mere thought of getting up at 7am in the morning ...

Gluten Free Almond Flour Mango Cake

 Here's my take on the Gluten Free mango Cake.... There's not a story behind it other than the fact that I am trying to reduce sugar & gluten in my diet due to the health reasons & this cake gave me everything that I need for those late evening sweet cravings without feeling guilty or sad or having to plan extra time on the treadmill the next day.  This cake is made from almond flour so it's on the denser side & not entirely fluffy BUT it is soft & makes for an awesome tea time accompaniment.  Here's what I used... Wet ingredients 1 cup mango puree 3 eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or butter) Dry ingredients 2.5 cups of Almond flour 2 tsp baking powder Process First mix all the wet ingredients in a clean bowl using a wire whisk Then add in the baking powder & almond flour Mix nicely using a spatula - DO NOT USE Wire whisk  Transfer the contents to a greased 10 inch round cake tin Bake until tooth-pick comes out clean on 325 F for...

Masala Atta Chakuli

"Chakuli" in Odisha comes in mainly three forms: Regular Chakuli - Made with Dosa batter (Rice + Urad Daal) -  Maida Chakuli - Made with Maida a.k.a Refined All-purpose flour And finally Atta chakuli - Made with "Atta" a.k.a Whole wheat flour Atta Chakuli is usually a form of sweet pancake in Odisha. It is a very good breakfast usually made on week days where making roti/paratha is either boring or time consuming. Growing up, I was not a fan of the dish though because it is sweet & as a kid I did not have a sweet tooth. I still don't & I think I am blessed because sugar kills (like literally).  This recipe was a result of three things... - I was sick of eating rice & poha (basically gluten-free) and wanted something different but should have tons of veggies 🍅 🌽 🌶  - I wanted something that is NOT sweet - I did not want to make roti (I am not very good at it & the Rotimatic is resting in the garage) Because of the above mentioned reasons, I sta...
