Rice dough |
Today i am going to share recipe of
... 'Dal Peetha'...
Dal Peetha is an ancient delicacy ...
My Grandmother used to make it...
But i bet it is much older than that...
So, coming straight to the recipe...
Ingredients :-
Dal - 1 cup (chana or masoor)
Rice - 2 cups (average basmati)
|
mixing spices in dal paste |
Onion - 1 medium (cut in small pieces)
{use spices as per your requirement}
coriander leaves, pepper,
garam masala powder,
red chili powder (if you want really spicy),
and salt to taste.
Soak Dal and Rice separately for 3-4 hours.
Grind Rice and make tough dough
add a little salt to it and keep it aside.
|
flattened rice with dal paste |
Now grind Dal and make a paste with
minimum water in it..
Mix all spices, chopped onion
and salt to taste in dal dough.
Now for steam...place a deep utensil
with half filled water on your stove.
Tie a cloth tightly over the utensil..
don't leave the loose ends of the cloth,
tuck them properly or it will burn..
|
cloth tied on utensil and
peethas are getting steamed..
cover it with lid.. |
Keep the flame medium...
Make small balls from rice dough..
flatten each balls by hand and place
a spoonful of dal paste on it...
fold the rice part into half..{see the pics}
put it on the cloth with boiling water to
steam the Peethas...
cover the utensil with a lid..and
cook it for 5-7 minutes...on low
flame..turn it once while still cooking..
to equally cook from both sides...
When cooked remove from flame...
