Chapatis and guessing game remixed for the event

Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi All,
For Sireesha's (Kidz Delight) event  "Announcing Cooking for Kids Event- Wheat", I thought of remixing my two recipes!!  As the event is for kids,I feel it is perfect entry. 
Cooking for kids event is authored by Sharmi of Neivedyam.
So after Food Remake, I have started the remixing (like bollywood remix of songs!!!!) of my recipes!!  
To prepare chapatis,




For Chapati
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Soya flour - 3/4 cup

Salt- 1 tsp
Oil- 1 tbsp
For spread
Wheat flour -5 tbsp
Oil to make paste.
Mix wheat flour and oil to make paste to spread on the chapatis.

Add both the flours, salt and oil in a vessel and knead it with water to make dough. Keep it aside at least for half an hour.
While making chapatis, divide dough in to large lime size balls.
Take one ball, roll it puri size. Spread the paste. Sprinkle little flour. fold it to half. Again spread the paste and sprinkle flour and fold it to triangle.
Now roll chapati into desired shape (mine usually comes triangle shape, if I don't give attention while rolling).
Heat tawa in high flame, when frying chapatis, do on medium flame. Never fry chapatis on low flame, as it makes chapatis hard.
Repeat with other chapatis.




No need to put oil while frying.
Chapatis are ready.
Now the remix part!




A very simple, tasty and easy rolls for kids. I like too. These rolls were, our (my brother Avinash and mine) favourites during school time. It was easy for my mother also.
Now I give to my daughter, but with little guessing game, and she loves to play it.


Chapatis - 6

sugar - 3 tbsp
Jaggery powdered - 3 tbsp
Peanut and dalia chutney powder -3 tbsp(For Recipe click 
Peanut chutney powder(Shenga Chutney))
(If you don't have, no problem. You can use MTR READY CHUTNEY POWDER).
Ghee to apply for above.

Any jam - 3 tbsp
Butter - 1 tbsp
Chocolate spread - 3 tbsp(I use Nutella)
Cheese spread - 3 tbsp(I use Knorr cheese spread)
Or you can use Mayonnaise also.

Take 3 chapatis on the plate.
Apply 2 tbsp ghee on each chapati.
Spread sugar on one chapati, jaggery powdered on another and chutney powder on the third.
Roll and keep ready.
These 3 rolls we used to have in childhood.
Next rolls I have added according to today's kids world.

Take 3 more chapatis on plate.
Apply butter on one chapati, and then spread jam. Spread Chocolate spread on other and cheese spread on the third one.
Roll and keep ready.
Now keep all the rolls on a big plate.

Here the guessing game starts. If you have more than one kid, its more interesting. Even your kid's friends can join.

Call the children and ask them to guess in which roll what is there. Whoever guesses correct, they will get reward.

What I do with my daughter is,
I take any three rolls, keeping in mind to make one chocolate roll in that.

I tell her to take two rolls, and if the chocolate roll is not there in that, as she loves to eat chocolate roll, all the three chapatis will disapear in to her stomach in no time. My purpose to give her chapatis without taking any trouble is served.
As I have written above,
On Going Event Cooking For Kids - Wheat




This is going to take part in Sireesha's (Kidz Delight) event  "Announcing Cooking for Kids Event- Wheat"

Soft Chapatis my way







Tried and tasted by Nivedita
Hi all
Even though I am making chapatis since long time, my chapatis were always hard or torn into pieces after few hours. Now after trying umpteen times, I learnt making chapatis, which remains soft even the next day.
Usually (not always)soya flour to wheat flour as soya is good for health and as there is no change in taste, no need to force the children to get soya in other form.
Here is the recipe:
For Chapati
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Soya flour - 3/4 cup
Salt- 1 tsp
Oil- 1 tbsp

For spread
Wheat flour -5 tbsp
Oil to make paste.

Mix wheat flour and oil to make paste to spread on the chapatis.

Add both the flours, salt and oil in a vessel and knead it with water to make dough. Keep it aside at least for half an hour.
While making chapatis, divide dough in to large lime size balls.
Take one ball, roll it puri size. Spread the paste. Sprinkle little flour. fold it to half. Again spread the paste and sprinkle flour and fold it to triangle.
Now roll chapati into desired shape (mine usually comes triangle shape, if I don't give attention while rolling).
Heat tawa in high flame, when frying chapatis, do on medium flame. Never fry chapatis on low flame, as it makes chapatis hard.
Repeat with other chapatis.
No need to put oil while frying.
Serve chapatis with subji, or make rolls or eat just like that.

Keep smiling,
