I am sharing my favourite breakfast bread for this theme. I have used whole wheat flour or atta to make this bread but you can also use all purpose flour or maida if you like or use half atta and half maida. Knead the dough with milk instead of water. Milk will make your bread more tasty and soft. I love crisp toasted bread and sandwiches both.

• 

• 

Recipe

Whole wheat flour or atta- 3 cup

Dry yeast – 1 & 1/2 teaspoon

Warm milk – 1 & 1/2 cup

Sugar – 1 tablespoon

Salt – 1 & 1/2 teaspoon

Milk powder – 2 tablespoon, optional

Olive oil – 2 tablespoon + for greasing

Vinegar – 1 & 1/2 tablespoon

Roasted mixed seeds – 3 – 4 tablespoon + to sprinkle

Xanthan gum – 1 teaspoon, optional

• 

• 

Method

1. Mix sugar and yeast in 1/4 cup warm milk. Milk should be warm not hot. Stir well and cover. Keep in a warm place for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes it will looks foamy like this 👇

• 

2. In a large bowl mix whole wheat flour or atta, salt, milk powder, vinegar, olive oil and roasted mixed seeds. I have roasted mixed seeds including sunflower, pumpkin, flax, watermelon, chia and gojiberries seeds. You can use any seeds. Also add xanthan gum if you have. Adding it improve the structure of your bread. But xanthan gum is completely optional. Skip it if you don’t have.

3. Make a hole in the middle and pour the yeast mixture and 1 cup slightly warm milk. Knead the dough well and add remaining 1/4 cup milk slowly.

4. Dough should be soft and sticky. Sprinkle little flour on your cleaned kitchen counter and place the dough on it. Knead the dough for 9-10 minutes.

5. Knead the dough by pressing with your palm and heel of your palm by pushing and stretching.

• 

6. Knead the dough really well. Now after kneading well dough will becomes less sticky. Make a ball with the dough and drop few times on the kitchen counter.

7. Grease a bowl generously. Smear the dough with oil and place in the greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place for an hour or till the dough becomes double. Timing depends on the temperature of your place. Its summer time here so 1 hour is sufficient. I kept the dough in my oven.

8. After 1 hour punch down the dough and knead again. Flatten the dough with a rolling pin or your oil greased palm. Roll or press the dough into flat and rectangular. Fold and shape the dough into a loaf.

• 

9. You can also make 2 small bread with this dough if you have small size loaf pan. Place the loaf in oil greased loaf pan. Place seam side down. 

• 

10. Cover and keep aside for second proofing for 30 minutes. Or till it rise above the pan.

• 

11. Brush with water and sprinkle mixed seeds on the top.

• 

12. Bake in preheated oven at 185° for 40 to 50 minutes or till bread becomes golden brown.

• 

13. Take out the bread immediately and place on a cooling rack upside down to completely cool.

• 

14. Don’t keep the bread in oven after baking, it may become soggy so let it cool on cooling rack or a towel before slicing.

15. Slice the bread when it completely cooled. Make sandwiches or toast and serve with butter, jam or any spread.

Bengali Sabur Khichuri Or Sabudana Khichdi With Moong Dal

• 

Sabur khichuri or Bengali style sabudana khichdi with moong dal. A simple yet delicious flavorful no onion garlic fasting recipe. You can make it with potato, cauliflower, carrot or any vegetable of your choice.

This khichuri is not like North Indian sabudana khichdi but a khichdi with sabudana and moong dal or split yellow lentil. On fasting day we usually take one time meal. And it should be vegetarian and without onion garlic and rice. It may be Luchi, Kachodi or Radhabollobhi with Dum aloo or any no onion garlic curry. But this sabudana khichuri is easy and quick to make and better than deep fried foods. I love it simple but sometimes use cubed and fried potato.

I got this recipe from my loving masimaa Utpala Mallick. Usually I spent all my summer vacation with my masimaa, meshomoshai or uncle and my cousins at Ranchi. Masimaa was an excellent cook. I already shared her Orange steamed sandesh. I was a school going girl at that time and never cooked anything. Once she cooked this khichdi on one of her fasting day. I just loved the taste. When she made it in the second time I noticed the method and ingredients. And I made it first time when my maa and masimaa both were not at home. Still remember their surprised face after tasting the khichuri. Both said its too good and perfect. That was a fasting day so I was feeling very happy to see their happy faces. Both my masimaa and mother are left for heavenly abode. But they are always with me in my heart. Learned a lot from maa and her sisters. Do you remember Misti doi recipe? I got it from my sejomashi Gargi Gupta. I will share some more age old recipes soon. Stay tuned.

• 

Its my contribution to 254 #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is Farali Farmaish suggested by Kalyani Sri who blog at Sizzlingtastebuds. Do visit her blog and YouTube channel for different types of healthy and delicious recipes. I have bookmarked her Coriander garlic walnut pesto and Baked broccoli casserole recipe to try.

• 

Yes we can make luchi puri kachodi anything but this sabudana khichdi is a healthy option for one time meal. After the whole day fasting its better to take something quick and simple food in evening. If you like you can add cubed and fried one potato, fried cauliflower florets, carrot or small pieces of fresh coconut. Add the vegetables before adding water. Vegetables will become soft with dal. Add some more water if using vegetables. You can make the khichdi thick or thin consistency as you like. You can use less ghee or make it with oil and add a dollop of ghee at the end. You can also make it in a pressure cooker. I sometimes do so to save time. You can dry roast the dal before rinsing.

• 

Recipe

Moong dal or yellow split lentil – 1/3 cup

Sabudana or tapioca – 1/4 cup

Grated ginger – 1 teaspoon

Green chilli – 2 – 3

Green cardamom – 2

Cinnamon – 1/2 inch piece

Cloves – 2

Bay leaf – 1

Water – 5 cup

Ghee or clarified butter – 1 – 2 tablespoon

Cumin seeds – 1/2 teaspoon

Turmeric powder – 1/2 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Sugar to taste

Fried cashew nuts and raisins to garnish, optional

• 

Method

1. Rinse the moong dal and sabudana separately. Drain the water and keep aside. I don’t like sabudana much so used less than moong dal. You can use equal quantity or more sabudana and less moong dal. Choice is yours. I have made it one serving so used little less than 1/3 cup moong dal and 1 tablespoon less sabudana.

2. Crush the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon in a mortar pestle.

3. Heat ghee in a wok or pan. You can use half oil and half ghee. 1 tablespoon ghee is sufficient but I have used 2 tablespoon to enhance the flavour. If you don’t want to use ghee, you can make it with only oil. But add at least 1 teaspoon ghee at the end.

4. Fry the cashew nuts if using. Fry till golden brown and transfer on a plate. Now fry the raisins. When raisins puffed up immediately remove from ghee.

5. In the same ghee add cumin seeds, bay leaf, crushed cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. When cumin seeds start to splutter add grated ginger and 1 chopped green chilli.

6. Stir and add drained moong dal. Fry the moong dal. See notes for more options.

• 

7. When dal starts to change colour add water, salt, turmeric powder and 1 – 2 slit green chilli. Mix well. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or till dal becomes soft.

8. Now add drained sabudana and sugar. Mix and cook again for 5 minutes or until sabudana becomes transparent.

• 

9. You can add more water if you want your khichdi little thin consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if required. You can add a dollop of ghee at the end.

10. Garnish with coconut slices, fried cashews and raisins. You can also use chopped cilantro or coriander leaves to garnish. Serve hot with Date raisin jaggery chutney with mango bar, Mango raisin chutney, Instant sweet mango pickle , curd or any no onion garlic vegetable curry.

Notes

1. You can add cubed and fried potatoes, fried cauliflower florets, carrot and small pieces of fresh coconut in the khichdi. Add a little more water if using vegetables.

2. You can also use 1 chopped tomato with grated ginger and green chilli.

3. Add green chilli according to your taste.

4. To make it quickly you can cook it in a pressure cooker if you want. Dry roast the dal before rinsing and add everything when cumin seeds start to splutter.
