We haven't done our groceries shopping for weeks now, I am running out of stuff to cook, so today I decided to make some kheema. My DS loves mopping up the curry with nan bread, but we've eaten lots of 'yeasty' based food lately, so I thought I'd make some puris instead.
Both recipes are from my Classic 1000 recipes -my indian food bible :)
Puri (makes 8)
2C plain flour
salt
water
mix all the ingredients,knead until not sticky. Divide the dough into 8 small balls. Then roll each ball into thin circles.Fry in hot oil, one at a time.I like to let the dough rest for a bit before I roll the puri. 1/2 hr should sufficed. I found that it is much easier to roll the dough if I let it rest for a bit. It is best eaten straight away
Potato kheema matar (serves 4)
A)
2T oil
B)
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
1/2 inch ginger
1 green chilli (more if you want yours spicy)
C)
1/2t turmeric
1t ground coriander
1t ground cumin
1t garam masala
900g mince (lamb/beef)
3 potatoes -diced
salt
1 tomato-diced
225g peas
2T fresh coriander
The original recipe says ingredients B should be finely chopped, but the lazy me just dry processed everything in my food processor :)
Heat the oil, fry ingredients B till all is browned
Add ingredients C, fry for 1 min.
Add meat, salt & tomato
Cover and simmer for 20mins
Add water if necessary
Stir in peas & coriander, simmer for 5 mins
Serve
I didn't put the peas because my DH and kids didn't like it. Today I added some grated courgette because I have some left over in the fridge that needs to be used up, so you could add other veges if you like, just experiment and see what will work
