Pav / Ladi Pav / Indian Dinner Rolls

Ladi Pav
When you hear the word Pav, you might be thinking of the mouthwatering dishes.... Pav Bhaji, Vada Pav, Misal Pav, Dabeli. For me, it brings back a childhood memory, Maska Pav. In case Maska sounds new to you, it is butter. Simple bread butter sprinkled with little sugar used to be one of my favorite breakfasts.

Ingredients:
All Purpose Flour/Maida - 3 cups
Oil - 3 tbsp
Sour Cream - 2 tbsp
Sugar - 1 1/2 tbsp
Lukewarm Milk - 1/4 cup
Lukewarm Water - 1/4 cup
Yeast - 2 1/4 tsp
Salt - 1 tsp

How to bake Indian Ladi Pav:
  • In a small bowl, add lukewarm (not hot) water, sugar and yeast. Lukewarm water is ideal for the activation of yeast. Mix and set aside until it turns frothy, about 10 minutes.
  • Rising of the yeast is the key step for soft bread.
  • In a mixing bowl, add lukewarm milk, sour cream, oil and all purpose flour. To this add the yeast sugar mixture and mix. Knead well for about 5 minutes till the dough turns soft. Cover and let the dough rest for about 2 hours or till the dough doubles.
  • Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F. Knead the doubled dough again for about 5 minutes. Divide the dough in 8 round balls. Place the balls, touching each other on a baking dish, so that it forms a ladi. Brush them with milk. Bake for about 20 - 30 minutes. Let the Pav cool for few minutes. Enjoy these soft bread rolls in the form of Pav Bhaji, Misal Pav.

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....
