Instructions

Making Sooji Nashta

  • In a mixer jar, add 1 cup coarse rava, 1 cup raw potato pieces, salt to taste, and ¾ cup water. Grind it into a smooth batter.
  • The batter should be medium-thick with a ribbon-like pouring consistency. Transfer it to a bowl and rest for 10 minutes.
  • Then add ½ cup chopped onion, ¼ cup chopped capsicum, ¼ cup chopped tomatoes, ½ cup chopped coriander leaves, salt, ½ tsp red chilli flakes, and ½ tsp black pepper powder.
  • In a tadka pan, heat 2 tbsp oil, add ½ tsp mustard seeds, 2 chopped green chillies, 1 inch ginger paste, and 7–8 curry leaves. Sauté well and add this tempering to the batter. Mix properly.
  • The batter is ready. Add ¼ tsp baking soda and 1 tsp lemon juice. Mix gently; the batter will turn light and frothy.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a tadka pan, add 1–2 small ladles of batter, cover, and cook on low flame until it is fully cooked and crispy on one side.
  • Flip gently and cook until both sides turn crisp and golden.
  • Enjoy crispy sooji nashta with chutney.

Making Peanut Chutney

  • In a mixer jar, add peanuts, roasted chana dal (daliya), coriander leaves, green chilli, tamarind, salt, and water. Grind into a smooth paste and transfer it to a bowl.
  • In a tadka pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, urad dal, dry red chilli, and curry leaves. Sauté and pour this tempering over the chutney. Mix well.
  • Peanut chutney is ready to serve with sooji nashta.

Notes

  • The proportion of rava and raw potato pieces should be the same when measured in cups.
  • The batter consistency should be medium-thick and ribbon-like when poured.
  • Raw potatoes add taste and give fluffiness to the nashta.
  • Adding tadka enhances the taste and provides softness to the nashta even after it cools down.
  • Cook the nashta on a medium-low flame.
