I made this spicy RONTI for Diwali. The name is typical Konkani( Kerala GSB to be precise). The other name generally it is known by is 'Shankarpali(spicy). I often make this dish as it is very easy to make and my family loves it a lot. I prefer to make it with wheat flour, wheras most people make it by using Maida (refined flour).
Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 1 cup
sesame seeds(til)- 2 tsp
Red Chilly powder- acc to taste
Hot oil- 2 tsp + oil for frying
salt- to taste
Method:
Mix the wheat flour with the til, chilly powder, sesame seeds and 2 sps oil. Add enough water to make a slightly stiff dough. Keep it aside for 15 mins. Make small balls and roll out thin like a chapati. Cut into diamond shape and deep fry. Cool and store in airtight container.
Wow!! I LOVE ronti!!
ReplyDeleteam sure it is not so simple to make! It sounds easy but I know that if the dough is not right consistency then rontis become soft, isn't it?
How do we know what consistency to knead the dough? Is is experience? And how many diamonds can one fry at a time?
(sorry to ask so many questions--but I am a big zero when it comes to making rontis)
Cheers
