PIYAZI (A TRADITIONAL ODISHA SNACK )



Evening comes, and a mother gets tensed over snacks that needs to be  made for the children returning from games or a swim. Children have ever been fussy; but with an over active media displaying varieties of snacks children expect similar or comparable snacks .  Sandwich , maggie, pasta , pakoda have been easy options for a mother.
In Odisha ,we have a variety of snack items to choose from like upama, pakoda, chaat, dahi vada ,mudhi ,chuda upma, piyazi and the list goes on. I had made piyazi for my children and they liked it. Therefore I thought of sharing this easy ,simple and tasty recipe with my viewers. Hope you all will enjoy it, but remember to exercise and stay fit !

Here is how I made it.

Ingredients -

Channa dal-1 cup
Ginger/garlic paste-2 tea spoon
Green chillies- 3( Chopped )
Onion- 2 small ( Sliced )
Soda - A pinch
Salt - To taste
Oil-For deep frying

Method-
Soak channa dal for 5 to 6 hours.Grind the channa dal into a coarse paste . Keep aside, add salt to taste, ginger /garlic paste, onion and green chillies. Add a pinch of soda and mix. Keep aside for 10 minutes . Heat oil in a fry pan or kadhai . Take a portion of the channa dal mixture and drop it in oil. Cook the piyazis in low flame. Turn it over and let it cook from both sides. Serve it hot with a sauce of your choice...
