A simple and different dish. A great side dish for Thanksgiving as it's a combination of bread and a corn side dish. It does cut into portions but is moist and tender using harvesty ingredients. I hope you give it a go.

INDIAN CORNBREAD ( MAKAI KI ROTI)

Indian Cornbread ( Makai Ki Roti) image

This is from Tarla Dalal's Roz ka khana and is a huge favourite with my daughters. It is really quick and nutritious. I use Tinned or frozen corn kernels. They come out quite crisp, perhaps someone reading this can tell me if they need to be softer and how I can achieve that...

Time 25m

Yield 6 rotis

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup sweet corn
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin seed (I use a bit more)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 cup chopped coriander
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon oil
salt

Steps:

Grind the sweetcorn to a fine paste in a food processor, without adding any water.
Mix the corn paste with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl to make a soft dough; only use water if needed.
Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and roll each one into a circle of 4" diameter.
Heat a tava or frying pan and cook each roti on both sides on a slow flame until golden brown, using a little oil.
I must admit I have to use more oil than stated but that may be my inexperience!
My girls eat these on their own with some yogurt dip.

Tips:

Use fresh corn. Fresh corn will give your cornbread the best flavor. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
Use a cast iron skillet. A cast iron skillet will help to give your cornbread a crispy crust and a moist interior. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking pan, but your cornbread may not be as crispy.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cornbread tough. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will take about 30-35 minutes.
Serve the cornbread warm. Cornbread is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.
Store the cornbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cornbread for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Cornbread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be served with a variety of meals. Whether you're looking for a simple side dish or a hearty main course, cornbread is a great option. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a cornbread recipe that you'll love.
