Sweet Savory


Here we are again at the wonderful Open Sesame II designed by dear Siri and dear Dhivya. I had so much fun playing it again. Wow, what a great event! I picked the same box I had selected last time this time too and that box contained the following riddle:

I am a grass , or am I a cereal or a grain
I am everywhere and in almost all the foods you eat
My whole being used in many ways without restrain
I offer you something which is so hard to beat
I am as old as you can think of me to be
Thought to be originated from the land of camels
I am breakfast, lunch and dinner for all to see
Or be it desserts from cakes , pies to caramels
I am famous all over the world from east to west
As breads, flatbreads , cookies to muffins
I am v healthy and like a treasure chest
For ppl - weight conscious and its healthy kins
Buckle up and take a pen and a paper
I am yellow when alive, brown when put to 'dust'
Eating me makes you look so dapper
Now think hard and tell me what is that grain that we all genuinely trust


I guessed it right for the first time itself, hooray! The answer was “WHEAT – The king of all the grains”.

So, I whipped up a sweet recipe with the main ingredient. I just named it that way (Sweet Savory), ‘cause this is something that emerged from my imagination and couldn’t think any other name for this better than this. I made these on my daughter’s b’day last week and everyone appreciated the taste. This is my first time making this and I am so happy that these turned out so good. I used up the Apple Jam that I posted earlier, which was taking rest in the refrigerator. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup Apple Jam (or any other fruit jam)
  • 2 cups sweetened Coconut
  • ½ tsp Cardamom Seeds
  • 3 cups Wheat Flour
  • 1 tsp ghee
  • Oil to deep fry

Preparation:


In a bowl mix together jam + sweetened coconut + cardamom seeds + ghee. Add the wheat flour to this mixture and mix well again. Add more flour if needed. A little water also can be added until the dough becomes just like the chapathi dough. Knead the dough well. Leave it covered for 30 minutes or less.


Make small balls out of the dough and flatten them into small circles. Or cookie cutters can be used to make desired shapes.


Heat the oil in a deep bottomed pan. When the oil is hot, drop the above prepared circles or the other shaped dough carefully into the oil. Fry well until they turn golden brown in color. Then remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil. Repeat the same process with rest of the dough.


Enjoy these sweet savories any time. These tasted so delicious.


These yummy savories are making their way into the Open Sesame II of International Food League at the Dining Hall.


I am also sending these sweet savories to dear Mythreyee’s “Sweet Series” event.
