1/2 bunch spinach
2/3 cup semolina
2/3 cup chickpea flour/besan
1 green chilli
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup yogurt
1 packet dry yeast
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp fruit salt/baking soda
Water
Salt
Method:
1) Bring about 4-6glasses of water to boil. Remove it from heat and add spinach. Allow it to blanch for 2 minutes. Remove the spinach and cool.
2) Mix milk with 2 tbsp water and warm it up. Add yeast and wait for it to activate - will take 10-15 mins
3) Dry roast semolina until it starts to change colour and a beautiful aroma wafts out.
4) Grind the spinach with green chilli, ginger, sugar, yogurt.
5) Mix this with semolina, chickpea flour, yeast. Set aside for 30 mins.
6) Add fruit salt/baking soda. Add water if the consistency is too thick. Check for salt.
7) Line a plate with cling wrap or grease it. Pour the batter and place it in a steamer. Steam it for 15 mins.
8) Allow it to cool. Cut it into squares.
Done!
Garnish with mustard seeds, curry leaves, sesame seeds fried in oil. I had some left over chutney that I used as a topping. :)
