RICE, FLOUR & NOODLES

Rice is the staple food of about 165 million people in Bangladesh. Almost all of the 13 million farm families in the country grow rice.

For fried rice, always cook the rice grains the previous night and keep them in the refrigerator.

Pasta and noodles are usually cooked for 6 to 7 minutes, except for glass noodles. I would suggest following the package instructions for each and every type of noodles or pasta to make it al dente.

DETAILS :

MIX each dough ingredient separately, rub for 3 to 4 minutes or until the oil is incorporated well with the flour, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.

BOIL the chicken with garlic, ginger, and salt until all the liquid has evaporated. With the help of a fork, shred the boiled chicken. Cover and set aside.

FILLING: Heat oil in a pan, add onion, and fry until translucent. Add the cabbage and green chillies, and fry until the cabbage is half tender. Add the shredded chicken, mix well with the cabbage and sprinkle the coriander leaves and salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

SAMOSA: Roll the dough thinly and as evenly as you can. If the dough is rolled thick, it will take a long time for it to cook. Also, we all like the thin crispy edges of the samosa. But don’t roll it super thin; else, the dough will tear apart when the filling is stuffed. Don’t use flour while rolling the dough; apply a little oil onto the rolling pin.

ONCE a samosa is filled and shaped, place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Heat 2 cups of oil and fry the samosas on low heat to make them crisp.
