Biscuit Roti/ Stuffed Poori

Its been over a year I haven't blogged at all. After Stuti is born I really never looked into blogging and also cooking in that matter. I prepare something simple and quick dishes whenever I find time only to avoid eating food from outside. 

Last week was my husband's birthday and I decided to prepare Biscuit Roti for breakfast. Biscuit roti is stuffed poori. The stuffing I have mentioned below is how I follow. You can make variations to it according to your liking. One of my friend said she makes toor dal stuffing which I am yet to try. Last time when we had been to Mangalore we had Biscuit Roti from famous "Balli" on carstreet and my husband became an instant fan of it. My preparation surely did not taste as wonderful as Mangalore ones but was good.

Mango Sweet Curry/Ambe Upkari

Let me first tell you that this is not the authentic recipe of "Ambe Upkari" which we originally prepare in India. This dish is prepared with very small mangoes, which we call it as "gonto ambo" ( I am not sure what those are called in kannada or english). When I saw mangoes this season the very thought of "ambe upkari" made me feel I need to prepare it. So I went ahead with mangoes which I found here. This did satisfy my craving but I love the original recipe of this.

Mango in Coconut Milk/ Ambe Rasayana (Hashale)

During July and August New India Bazar had lots of fresh mangoes. Those were so rich and tasty. We have hogged quite a few. I also prepared some of the authentic dishes. Ambe Rasayana or Ambe Hashale is one among them. Ambo in konkani is mango. Rasayana is made with mangoes, coconut milk and jaggery. Of course high in calories ! Since mangoes are not available widely round the year I did prepare this. I love to have these with puris. But I had to stop myself from making puris which will simply add some more calories :-). We just had this hashale (this is how we call it at home) as a dessert.
