Yellow Maize Flour And Fenugreek Leaves Indian Breads - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 cups yellow maize flour (Makkai, available at any Indian grocery store. Maize is Spanish for 'Corn', so a regular corn flour )
salt
red chili powder, to taste
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1 cup fresh fenugreek leaves, cleaned, washed and finely chopped (methi)
1 -2 green chili, washed, ends trimmed and finely chopped
hot water, to knead, as required
oil or ghee, to fry
Preparation
-
In a bowl, sift together the maize flour, salt, red chili and coriander powders together.
Add green chillies and fenugreek leaves to the bowl.
Mix well.
Add hot water, as required, and knead the mixture well into a dough (similar to how you make puri dough).
Pinch off small rounds of the dough.
Use a rolling pin and make beris on a board dusted with flour (like you make rotis), about 4-6 inches in diameter.
Use ghee/oil and hot water to flatten them gently and carefully.
Fry the beris on a hot tava (non-stick griddle) using a teaspoons or two of ghee or oil and spreading it all over each beri.
Serve hot with mango pickle and buttermilk on a cold winter night to enjoy it to the max!
