Saltine Cracker/ Homemade Soda Crackers



Saltine Cracker/ Homemade Soda Crackers

Baking partners challenge for March is crackers.There was two types of crackers- Saltine and Graham crackers. This months challenge was suggested by Arthy Sharma. This is my first attempt to make home made saltine crackers. Crackers can be made with  yeast or baking soda. I used fresh mint,salt,fennel seeds and sesame seeds as topping Thanks Arthy and  Swathi for this recipe.

Ingredients
All purpose flour- 3/4 cup
Salt- 1/8 tsp
Baking soda- 1/2 tsp
Cream of tartar- a pinch
Lukewarm water- 1/4 cup
Active dry yeast- 1 1/2 tsp
Water- 3 tbs
Butter- 1 tbs
Oil- 1 tbs

For the topping
Sea salt- 1/2 tsp
Dry herbs or fresh herbs, sesame seeds,poppy seeds or any seasoning you prefer





Bring three tbs of water,one tsp of butter and one tbs of oil to a boil. Stir till the butter is melted. Cool this mixture till warm.
Mix yeast with luke warm water and sugar and keep aside.
In a bowl shift the dry ingredients,flour,salt, baking soda and cream of tartar and mix well. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and mix. Add warm water in little additions and mix to form a soft sticky dough. Place in a greased glass dish and cover with cling wrap. Refrigerate overnight so that the dough can rise a bit ( it will not double in sized like other yeast dough)
Pre-heat oven to 200 degree F.
 Bring the dough to room temperature. Dust working surface with flour and flatten the dough using a rolling pin. Make it into a thin rectangle sheet. Fold in both the ends towards the center to resemble an envelop. Turn it 90 degree and flatten again into a thin sheet using the rolling pin. Spread the topping and gently press so that they stick to the dough. Cut them into squares of equal size. Place them on baking sheet. Before baking prick some holes on top with a tooth pick. Bake them in per-heated oven for ten to twelve minutes

Try this
Hope you will all enjoy!

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada Uzhunnu vada or medu vada is a very common snack in south India and is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of hot piping tea.I like it as a snack but again cannot resist when it is served with idli,sambar and chutney as breakfast. One might wonder where does all the aroma come from? The  plain deep fried lentils is by itself flavorful because I make them often for  vada curry. But in uzhunnu vada the addition of pearl onions,ginger and curry leaves imparts a wonderful aroma that is irresistible.This is something I really missed when I came here to the US until I started making my home made version. Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Urad Dal/Black lentil skinless- 1 cup Rice flour- 2 tsp Pearl Onions- 4-5 Ginger finely chopped- 1 inch thick Curry leaves finely chopped- 1 spring Green chilly  finely chopped- 3 Whole black pepper- 5-6 salt to taste Oil- 2 cup to fry Wash and soak urad dal and rice for about 4-5 hours. Drain

Kerala Beef Vindaloo- Anglo-Indian Recipe

Kerala Beef Vindaloo Vindaloo is often synonymous with fiery, bold, pungent curries. It is one Indian curry that needs no introduction. It is lip-smacking delicious, tenderly cooked meat in a spicy gravy. It is almost pickle like with flavor of vinegar and ground mustard. But again, the perfect vindaloo curry strikes the right balance with chilies, aromatic spices, and vinegar- a perfect balance of acidity, spicy heat, and flavor of earthy spices. Authentic Goan Vindaloo is made with pork, but you can also use beef or mutton. Vindaloo may sound complicated, but it is an easy recipe. You can make a restaurant-style curry right in your kitchen. Today I am sharing two ways to cook this recipe. The  traditional slow-cooked stove top recipe  and  an Instant pot recipe . Recently I have been making this curry in Instant pot and it comes out perfect each time. Beef Vindaloo is a quintessential dish for Christmas feasts in Kerala. It is popular among Christians and the Anglo-I
