Oil Free Snacks

oil free snack/toast
Any guesses? This is for all the health conscious people out there who refrain from using too much oil in their snacks. This was an experiment, but I tell you, it turned out really well! Feeling amazed and of course happy!
Another oil-free recipe. Yes, this looks more like bread pakoda and tastes the same as well. But this recipe does not use bread, nor does it use oil. It is a simple combination of rice flour & besan prepared in a sandwich maker.
For a change, works great as a snack when kids want something urgently and you do not have something special to treat them. They will happily enjoy this kinda snacks!

 Ingredients: 

 1/2 cup rice flour,
1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
a pinch of baking soda
a tablespoon of oil (if you wish; I used it)
a tbs of sesame seeds (you can increase or reduce the quantity)
salt - as per taste

 Mix all the ingredients, and then add water. It should be viscous - not to thick nor too runny. 
Grease the four plates of the sandwich maker 'n pour the batter. 
I kept it for 10 minutes; you might like to keep it longer if you want it crispier. 
You can check in between n keep it longer if you so wish. 
Mine was on the softer side, just like a bread pakoda.
 I suggest adding onion, ginger-chilli paste, and coriander to enhance the taste :)

 This was an experiment and hubby liked it, so I think it will work for you all as well.
Enjoy with a hot cup of tea, and you will surely love it.

Perhaps as a Punjabi, born and brought up into a Punjabi family, I have that special love and fondness for curd. My parents have inculcated in me good eating habits - home food is the best, they would day, preach and practice. This has become ingrained in my thoughts. I detest outside food, and yes, I dub it as market junk. One reason I love all homemade stuff - mommade food is the best. But w...

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body.  Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking.
