Food tips

Kitchen Tip : Make sure stovetop electric coils work properly. A worn-out element is a real power drain.


Buy Local Food : See if you can find out where your food has gone before it gets to your plate. You may be suprised by the results. Often it will make financial sense for companies to transport food enourmous distances by planes, boats and lorries. This dosn't take the environmental cost into account (which of course is likely to lead to greatly increased economic costs in the long term).


Oven Tips : If you don't have one, consider buying a self-cleaning oven. They use less energy for normal cooking because of higher insulation levels. They also save on your rubber glove and cleanser purchases! However, if you use the self-cleaning feature more than once a month, you'll end up using more energy than you saved. When you clean the oven, do it right after cooking to take advantage of residual heat.

-Water for mixing Ghee; or oil for shallow -frying --------------------------------FOR FILLING-------------------------------- 4 md Potatoes

1 sm Onion; grated

1 ts -Salt

1/2 ts -Pepper

Sift flour with salt. Slowly add water. Mix well. Make a stiff dough. Cover with a damp cloth for 20 minutes. Boil potatoes, peel and mash. Add salt, onion, pepper and coriander. Mix well. Divide into 8 portions. Knead dough well until smooth and pliable. Divide into 6 round balls. Flatten each ball slightly. Put one portion of filling in centre. Close up completely. Shape into round balls again. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured board into a round disk 6" (15 cm) diameter. Cook one at a time on a hot griddle over medium heat. Put about 1 or 2 tbsp ghee around the edge. Turn gently. Cook until sides turn golden brown in colour. Serve with yogurt. Vegetarian Kheema Roti: Instead of potato stuffing, used cooked and seasoned vegetarian minced meat (Anne's note: the preface lists "nutri nuggets"; I suspect that this is an Indian brand of TVP) for stuffing.
