3. Dough should be soft, do not knead the dough.
4. Cover the dough and let it sit for at least fifteen minutes.

FOR FILLING:-

1. Boil the Moong dal with two cups of water on medium high heat. After dal comes to boil, reduce the heat to medium and let it cook until dal is very soft. If needed add little more water. Strain the dal removing the excess water if needed.
2. consistency of soft dough. Consistency of dal is very important for this recipe. If dal is too soft it will be difficult to do the filling, then stir fry the dal to bring to the right consistency. If it is too dry and crumbly add little water.
3. In a bowl mix dal with salt, fennel powder, chili powder and asafetida. Add the pepper and salt to taste. Set aside 

HOW TO MAKE PARATHA:-

1. Divide the dough and filling into eight equal parts and form into balls.
2. Roll dough ball lightly in dry flour and roll into a 3” circle. Place a filling ball in the center. Pull the edges of the dough to wrap it around the filling. Repeat to make all eight balls. Let the filled balls settle three to four minutes.
3. Meanwhile heat an iron or other heavy griddle on medium high heat until moderately hot. To test, sprinkle water on the griddle If the water sizzles right away, the griddle is ready.
4. Press the filled ball lightly on dry flour from both sides.
5. Using a rolling pin, roll the balls keeping the sealed side up. If the dough sticks to the rolling pin or rolling surface, lightly dust the parathas with dry flour; roll the paratha into seven-inch circle.
6. Place the paratha on the skillet. When the paratha start to change color and begins to puff up, flip it over. You will notice some golden-brown spots.
7. After a few seconds, drizzle half teaspoon of oil over the paratha. Flip the paratha and put again half teaspoon of oil. Lightly press the puffed areas with a spatula. This will help paratha to puff.
8. Flip again and press with a spatula making sure the paratha is golden-brown on both sides. Repeat for the remaining parathas.

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIN

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFIN

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS
NIDHIE SHARMA who shared this recipe with me.Therefore posting it on my blog

To make this muffin was nice experience for me and thought to share for readers.It is very easy recipe. Let us start to make these yummiest recipe

This recipe is make approximately 6-8 muffins:

INGREDIENTS:-
* 3/4 cup- All purpose flour or maida
* 2 tbsp -Powdered sugar
* 3/4 tsp -Baking powder
* 1/2 tsp - Baking soda
* 1/8 tsp - Coco powder
* 1/8 tsp -salt

PREPARATION:--

Mix all dry ingredients together and keep aside
TIP: Make sure baking soda is not old. If you dip making soda in warm water it will make bubbles, it means its good!

* 3/8 cup of sweetened condensed milk- (milkmaid)
* 3/8 cup of unsalted butter
* 3/8 cup of milk

* 3/4tsp -Vinegar
* 1tsp - sour cream

* 3/4 tsp of vanilla essence

METHOD:--

* Mix the softened butter with milkmaid with the help of a whisker . Slowly mix milk, sour cream which will help to make it fluffy, then vinegar and vanilla essence.

* Now, don’t try to mix it with spoon it will form lumps. During my various trials, I tried to mix with a hand mixer, thats over beating. Don’t do that too. We don’t need over beating, just mix until everything gets nicely blended.

* Most importantly, the X factor: Everything has to be at a room temperature i.e.. milk, butter and condensed milk.

* Slowly, mix the wet ingredients with dry ingredients, bit by bit so that no lumps are formed.

* In the end, add chocolate chips in the batter prepared and pour the mixture in your cups.
* Bake at 350F or 180 C for about 15-20 mins. Every oven temperature varies, so keep a watch with a tooth pick. If pricked in muffins, it should come out clean.

*Then  muffins are ready. let them cool up before eating. I know its tempting to take a bite but its worth waiting.
