Oil Free Snacks

oil free snack/toast
Any guesses? This is for all the health conscious people out there who refrain from using too much oil in their snacks. This was an experiment, but I tell you, it turned out really well! Feeling amazed and of course happy!
Another oil-free recipe. Yes, this looks more like bread pakoda and tastes the same as well. But this recipe does not use bread, nor does it use oil. It is a simple combination of rice flour & besan prepared in a sandwich maker.
For a change, works great as a snack when kids want something urgently and you do not have something special to treat them. They will happily enjoy this kinda snacks!

 Ingredients: 

 1/2 cup rice flour,
1/2 cup besan (gram flour)
a pinch of baking soda
a tablespoon of oil (if you wish; I used it)
a tbs of sesame seeds (you can increase or reduce the quantity)
salt - as per taste

 Mix all the ingredients, and then add water. It should be viscous - not to thick nor too runny. 
Grease the four plates of the sandwich maker 'n pour the batter. 
I kept it for 10 minutes; you might like to keep it longer if you want it crispier. 
You can check in between n keep it longer if you so wish. 
Mine was on the softer side, just like a bread pakoda.
 I suggest adding onion, ginger-chilli paste, and coriander to enhance the taste :)

 This was an experiment and hubby liked it, so I think it will work for you all as well.
Enjoy with a hot cup of tea, and you will surely love it.

 What is the meaning Pakhala bhaat? Is Pakhala good for health? Is fermented rice healthy?  Or in other words, does curd rice have b12? These are some of the questions that have been asked every now and then. So in this video from the Odia cuisine, I present to you Odisha special Pakhala - the ancient Odia tradition of fermenting rice. Now coming back to making Pakhala at home. I dedicate this video to my mother-in-law, who has taught me some simple ways to ferment rice with and without curd.  The idea is to cook rice in water, primarily you will need to boil rice in a lot of water. Drain off excess water and let the rice come to room temperature. Then mix it with curd, salt, and water and store in an earthen clay pot. Since we want to ferment rice, the idea is to leave it overnight at room temperature - ideally in a cool location, which is not too hot.  By next morning, the rice should have fermented - teeming with colonies of healthy bacteria. If you use brown rice...
