MULTIGRAIN ATTA POORI O SHUKNO MOSHOLA ALOO

Yesterday was my first attempt at multigrain atta / flour poori, few months back we switched over to this variety replacing whole wheat flour. All this while I was preparing either chapati or porota with this healthier variety of flour, was failing each time to get fluffy pooris / puffed breads. The fluffiness of luchi / poori is must for me, if we are calling it puffed bread we need to work towards puffing it up. If I cannot do those icings and toppings atop cakes or not being able to explore different combinations of it, I should not call myself baker. It is as simple as that. 

I asked Cristine to add 1tsp baking powder to semolina, multigrain flour mixture yesterday, I was able to do fairly good job with dough. However, I never thought of blogging about vegetarian snack combo, MULTIGRAIN ATTA POORI O SHUKNO MOSHOLA ALOO at this moment, so did not click stepwise pictures. It was when I prepared dry spiced potato dish for myself and Cristine's lunch, I felt let us do some clicks, it's worth sharing if food tastes good. So I did. I would always want to say one thing that a freshly made dough gives you best result, I was finding it difficult in the afternoon.... experts may manage better.. I am not one. 

The clicks could have been made better but I think I was more in a hurry to eat, then later at night I knew what was making me restless unknowingly....one diamond earring of mine got lost in swimming pool perhaps. I am prejudiced, I have heard it brings bad omen. I think I have to be less explicit about my family, life in public. Not everyone can be happy, feel sad along with me ..... I was never this expressive, why am I even looking for mental support in people who may not want to be my friend. I needed some brain truly. Its final school year for our son, I wanted some peace around for the safe passage of our child for better self.

However, food gives me necessary high and wise, cool husband. He never scolds at my stupidities. Although he told he would compensate me, he would not unless I pester continuously which I am poor at. I am always like come to me if you need me, do not put me through tests and play tricks on me. My husband has not tried anything nasty on me ever, he shouts, shuts case. It is me who broods, broods, broods over one issue, then weep, wipe, sits to eat. Either I remain prime to people who I give my heart, else get lost... play, dance, merry, kiss.... spare me your tricks please.... the reason why I prefer few elderlies in my life .... they seem easier to me to mingle because I am considering myself a step forward to join that group sooner. 

I mingle less, sugar coated words, neither harsh words are welcome. I get to know truths. I will talk to you genuinely, as much as required.... pouring heart in to wrong bowls should stop.... I mean something, people get something, misunderstands me.... Eating more is also a time pass for me.... I have to go little light today, yesterday I had lot of food.... that heavy lunch with vegetarian snack platter MULTIGRAIN ATTA POORI O SHUKNO MOSHOLA ALOO, it was when I was having murukku with tea, I discovered that I have lost my earring.... search was on, in between that I made that "mash kolai er dal" and Cristine those crispy cauliflower and egg plant fries. We had to finish that steamed egg and potato curry too.... who wants egg, if I get "bhaja bhuji"...

Cristine's ma'am is trying to be a gardener in vein.... just waiting for the next year to read more about it. The pleasures of life would go, our baby would leave home.... he is there today.... early morning curtains are on, the television set is on.... mumma gets irritated but enjoys his company which would be rare with time.... she is not keen about exhibit his hairy legs.... her eyes are rigid na?

Let me share with you favourite family meal. I act in accordance with what needs my attention at this time if only it does not miss my eyes.... most of things I miss.... I don't know how to attract people towards me.... the best IQ-ed people should unite, without using my sentiments. With each passing day, I am learning to expect less from people, I know they do not have the ability to win my heart which I attribute to my blunt self "manushke bajano amar shobhabey nei." Let me finish writing blogpost, go, report to office.... we are not a rich home that we would not  feel sad.... do not know why the husband is not bothered, a diamond studded earring is lost.

PROCEDURE :

The potato sabzi making was impromptu, I like how the non-Bengali homes prepare their potato curries, was trying one of them using rough idea, it clicked.

Wash, boil, peel potato, drain water. Roughly cube, marinate with salt, turmeric, 1/2 of lemon juice. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes.

Heat oil in wok, temper with cumin seeds. Add the marinated boiled potatoes, stir.

Add cumin + coriander + red chilli powder, stir. Sprinkle 1/2 a small tea cup of water, stir for 2-3 minutes at medium to low heat.

Add remaining lemon juice, washed, slitted green chillies, chaat masala, washed, chopped coriander, stir for 1/2 a minute. We are done.

Let us do Multigrain Atta Flour Poori now.

Take salt, baking powder, multigrain atta, semolina in bowl, mix well.. Add little water at a time, keep kneading.

When it is 80% done, add 1tbsp oil, keep kneading. We would need some 10-12 minutes to get firm dough. Keep covered for 15 minutes.

Tear off small portions, add a drop of oil, roll out round pooris.

Heat enough oil in wok. Deep fry each puffed bread / poori as you see below.

Isn't that wonderful meal idea, my family eats vegetarian when they get this kinds. Do not forget to get pickle.
