Tiranga Puri
What we need
Whole wheat flour, Oil to fry puri, Haldi, Salt, Blanched spinach, Ajwain, Red chilly powder, garlic
Method
Preparing orange dough – Mix haldi and red chilly powder in lukewarm water and mix. Add salt and ajwain to whole wheat flour and use this orange coloured water to knead the dough. You can also use grated beetroot to make reddish dough instead of orange.
Preparing the white dough – Just knead a normal dough with flour and salt.
Preparing green dough – Add garlic, ajwain, blanched spinach, salt to the flour and knead the dough.
Now roll three circular puris, one of each colour. Place the orange puri on the platform, stack the white puri on top of the orange one. And then stack green puri on top of the white one.
Now roll this stack to make a cylindrical log of dough. Now cut thick slices of dough with a knife. Use each thick slice to roll with a rolling pin to create a puri which will have tricolour in a spiral fashion.
Deep fry the puri like you normally do.
Amazing designer tricolor puris are ready to serve!
Instant Tiranga Dessert in a Glass
What we need
Boondi laddoo (motichoor laddoo), milkmaid, edible green colour, rasgulla, shot glass
Method
We are going to make an instant layered tiranga dessert with readymade items from the market.
For the bottom most green layer, crush few rasogullas, add green edible colour to it and mix. Using a spoon, fill 1/3rd of the glass with this green sweet layer. You can also replace this layer with homemade green peas halwa.
For the middle white layer, add milkmaid, a small layer, otherwise it will taste too sweet. You can also opt for home-made sewai kheer for the white layer.
For the topmost orange layer, crush few boondi laddoos and place them on the top using a spoon. You can also replace this with homemade carrot halwa.
Garnish on the top using dry fruits if you want.
A delicious looking instant dessert is ready to be savoured!
