|
For the alphabet X I have tried the Xain province
from China.I knew of this province for the terracotta army. I would have liked
to write more but as my arm is not too agreeable I am just linking my source Wikipediaof course.
These were appreciated a lot at home and the waiting period is right now extended till y arm is better then I better make these again and not just 8. Apparently younger one want 8 for herself alone. ;D

Ingredients
For

¼ cups all purpose flour - ½ tsp
salt - Water as needed
For
the filling:
the filling:
- 200
grms mushrooms - 1
onion, finely chopped - 1 tsp
garlic paste - ½ tsp
pepper - Pinch
of jeera/cumin - ½
tblspn soya sauce - 1
tblspn tomato sauce - Pinch

cup cabbage, finely chopped - 1 spring
onion, chopped - ¼ tsp
garlic powder - 1 teaspoon oil
- Pinch
of white pepper - 2 tblspn til/sesame seeds
- ½
cup oil for frying+ 1 tblspn oil
Method:
Let’s
make the dough first:
make the dough first:
- To
the flour add salt and water little at a time to form dough. - Knead for 5 minutes. Set aside keep covered
with a damp kitchen towel to rest.
Now let’s make the filling:
- In a kadhai /wok add 1 tblspn of oil.
- Add the
garlic and brown it. - Add the
onion and stir fry till the onions are translucent. - Add the
mushrooms and stir and cook covered. - Once
the mushrooms are done add the jeera/cumin, pepper, soya sauce, tomato sauce,
salt sugar. Mix and stir fry till almost dry. - Add the
paneer and mix well. Switch off the gas and keep the kadhai/wok open. Set aside
to cool. - Once
cool transfer to the chutney jar of the blender and make a coarse paste. Set aside. - In another bowl, combine the cabbage, spring onion,
garlic powder.
Now let’s assemble the pancakes:
- Divide the dough into 8 equal portions use one
portion and keep the rest covered with a damp towel. - Oil the work surface lightly and roll the selected
portion into a long, thin rectangle about four inches wide. - Again
very lightly oil the dough and spread on about an eighth of your mushroom paneer
mixture on one side. Spread till about the middle of the rectangle. - Add
about 2 tblspn cabbage mixture to one end. - Roll the dough a little. Cover the sides like
a burrito to make a cylinder till you reach the end of the rectangle. - Stand
the roll on one end so it's like a standing cylinder. - Press
the dough down into a flat pancake with one hand and then sprinkle with sesame
seeds. - Repeat
with all the balls. Meanwhile keep the prepared pancakes under the damp towel. - Pour ½ cup oil into a small kadhai/wok and heat.
When put a small pinch of dough in the hot oil the dough should first sink then
slowly come up. In case the dough sinks and stays under you oil is not hot
enough heat it and test with a fresh pinch of dough. In case it rises
immediately cool the oil. Test and then fry. - Drop
the pancakes gently into the pan and fry until golden. You will need to flip the pancakes so fry 1-2
at a time. - Carefully
flip and fry on the other side (about 3 minutes per side). Please be careful
when working with hot oil. - When
golden brown, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. - Taste
best when eaten immediately but they can be frozen and re-toasted in the oven.
