Whole wheat bread

 Ingredients  Whole wheat flour: 2cups Lukewarm water:1 cup water added may slightly vary based on brand of whole wheat flour  Honey : 1 tablespoon Salt : 1 teaspoon Ghee : 2 tablespoon  Yeast : 1 teaspoon Method  Into a big kneading bowl, pour in the lukewarm water. Add honey, yeast, salt and stir everything together until everything get dissolved in water. Now add the ghee and the whole wheat flour into this. Combine everything together to form a sticky dough  Transfer the dough onto a clean work surface. Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until we get a soft and elastic dough. If you feel your dough is sticking to your hands every time you knead add 1 tablespoon or two while kneading, don’t be tempted to add more flour since it will develop an elasticity whilst we are kneading  Also, The kneading time will be different for different types of whole wheat flour. First proofing Take a clean bowl and pour in some oil and then place the dough inside it and lightly coat it with some oil. C

Lauki Methi Sabzi

Image
 Just like you’d make any Sabzi with onion and tomato as a base I made this Sabzi using same Sabzi base and added meethi, lauki and pressure cooked without adding water on medium heat until 2 whistles.. Heat oil in pressure cooker, add cumin seeds wait for it to crackle now add onion and ginger garlic paste sauté till onions are translucent. Now add tomatoes and spices of your choice. I added red chilli powder, turmeric powder,  little garam masala and Sabzi masala and salt  Mix everything well and let the tomatoes soften up now add methi leaves and stir in nicely, don’t over stir.. cover and cook for 2-3 mins without adding water  The trick is.. cooking the methi in oil then add lauki and put on the lid and pressure cook until two whistles on medium heat!  Tada super flavourful lauki methi is ready!
