Huge soft chapati filled with zucchini&onion

When your boyfriend's grandparents grow too much zucchini, this is what you can do: eat them! :) Unfortunately it's very difficult to take pictures when you're sooooo hungry, so this is what I've got... it was soooo tasty!!


Ingredients:

Chapati:
80 gr wholewheat flour
80 gr white flour type 400
125 ml natural yogurt
pinch of salt
1 tbspn olive oil

Filling:
Zucchini (depends on the size and how much you're hungry)
Onion (depends on taste)
1 hot chili
salt
olive oil

Mix the ingredients for the dough and leave aside for about 30 minutes.
Cut the vegetables and fry them in a pan until they're tender.
Take the dough and roll 2 big chapatis. Cook them in a large flat pan.
Put the vegetables into the chapati and roll it.

The simple thing you can do, when you don't know what to cook for dinner!
Simple, ah? And soo tasty! :)

Easy winter soup

I've always said, I'm not a good blogger, spring has already come and I still have pictures of my winter dishes I didn't put on the blog. 



Ingredients:
3 patatoes
1 carrot
1 onion
160 gr pearl barley
water
olive oil
salt
pepper
chili powder

Soak the pearl barley in the water for at least 12 hours.
Cut the onion in small pieces and fry it until golden on a little bit of olive oil. Cut the potatoes in cubes and the carrot in very small pieces. Add the vegetables to the onion and add the pearl barley (without the water in wich it was soaked). Add some water (approximately 1 liter, but it depends on your taste), salt, peper and a little bit of chili powder (still depends on your taste). Cook stiring for approximately 1 hour (if you've soaked tha barney for 24 hous, in 40 minutes it should be cooked).

Serve hot with a slice of bread or just like that and enjoy your meal. :)

Onion pakora

I decided to try to do pakoras, but I had to make adjustments to the recipe that I found on internet. There were a few problems: it had fresh coriander (and if you know me, you definitely know I can't stand fresh coriander! Too bad, that it is in every indian dish!) The other thing is that it was supposed to be with chickpea flour, but I couldn't find it in our stores, so I used just corn flour instead.



















Ingredients:

2 cups corn flour
1 cup rice flour
oil
onions (1)
chillies (2-3)
salt
cashew nuts
curry powder
coriander powder
cumin seeds
baking soda
water

Cut the onion and chilli very thin. Add half teaspoon coriander powder, coriander powder and a pinch of salt. Put the cashew nuts in water for 10 minutes, then add them to the onion. Mix the flour with a pinch of salt, a teaspoon of baking soda, a teaspoon od cumin seeds and 2 tablespoons of oil. Add onions and cashew nuts, mix it dry, then add some water and some oil if needed. Make small balls out of the pasture and deep fry them.
