without flour?
paruppillaamal kalyaaNamaa? :roll:
This is my friend's recipe. It's delicious and pretty easy to make. Gluten free as well.
Ingredients
300g suitable flour e.g. rice flour, amaranth, millet, quinoa or a mixture
2tsp baking powder
1tsp of herbs (sage, rosemary, oregano, parsley) - you could add a bit of crushed garlic too if you like
2 tbsp oil (extra virgin olive oil, rice bran oil, grapeseed oil or melted ghee)
70ml cold water (approx)
Approx 400g Squash (*), sweet potato(*), pumpkin(*) or other root vegetable (roasted then mashed)
Method:
Preheat oven to 200C/Gas 6
Bake the root vegetables for ~45 mins or until VERY soft. Remove from the oven and very carefully peel and cut away any stalks. Mash the flesh well, remove any seeds.
Add the flour, baking powder, herbs, add the oil together with the water.
Mix, add more flour if it's too sticky, more water if it won't bind.
On a well floured surface, form into a round loaf, cut a cross in the top of the loaf (rustic style).
Bake for 30-35 mins approx in the oven.
To test, remove from the oven and gently tap the base, if it sounds hollow, it's ready. If it doesn't sound hollow then cook it a few minutes longer and test again. You may need to play with your oven temperatures, as they all vary.
Serve warm or cold with spreads or for sandwiches.
This also makes two pizza bases which cook in approx 15 mins, then add your toppings and return to the oven for another ten minutes or so.
Results will depend on your oven temperature so keep an eye on it
Variations:
Use dill, chives and garlic (goes great with salmon or other fish)
Use oregano, bay leaf, rosemary - adds an italian kick, some finely chopped tomatoes (patted dry with a paper towel first) would be great in the bead.
Try celariac instead of squash, add fennel seeds to really boost the aniseed taste, some cumin seeds and a dash of turmeric.
