My Daily Tiffin


I believe Indian cuisine if prepared carefully, can be extremely nutritious, well-balanced and quite effortlessly colourful, which in turn just multiplies your appetite. My daily lunch or tiffin comprises of a veggie dish with bread or lentil curry with rice/bread. Food, which is simple, fresh, and hygienic, would surely keep the body and mind in peace..

Potato dish with Roti

2 Potatoes, peeled & cubed
Green Chillies, cut lengthwise
Jeera (Cumin seeds)
Rai (Mustard seeds)
Salt
Turmeric
Red Chilly Powder
Curry Leaves
Oil

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick pan. My non-stick has worn out considerably, so I had to use more oil.

Temper the oil with Cumin, Mustard, Curry Leaves and Green Chillies...

Let the oil take in the flavours..

Then add the cubed Potatoes and toss around.
Keep the flame sim, and cover the pan. Keep stirring after sometime to prevent the Potatoes from sticking to the pan.
As the Potato cubes start getting golden-brown, add the seasonings (Salt,Turmeric, Red Chilly Powder), cover with a lid and let the Potatoes cook completely...
Garnish with chopped mint leaves and coriander...

Now to go with it,some Indian flat bread, Roti...

Knead some Wheat flour with cold water and make a soft dough.

Using a rolling pin, flat out into thin discs; Don't worry about a perfect circle, closest will do...

Put the rolled out dough on a hot plate/tawa, and let both sides turn a little brown.

Then turn the flame on high and let the roti swell into a flavourful, aromatic puff of wheat.

Enjoy the wholesome richness of simple ingredients with wonderful flavours.
