Farali roti with batata chips nu shaak and crispy farali bhajiya is a beloved and all-time favorite meal for Gujaratis. Farali roti is a thin, flatbread made with sabudana powder, potato, and common spices. Batata chips nu shaak is a dry potato dish that is slightly sweet, sour, and tangy. Additionally, I will share a quick and easy recipe for farali bhajiya, which pairs perfectly with roti and sabzi, making an ideal farali meal for upvas or vrat days. I encourage you to give it a try, dear friends! This thali recipe is both quick and simple, utilizing basic ingredients found in your kitchen.
The key to making a perfect farali thali at home:
ย For Farali Roti:
- Ingredients: Use equal proportions of sabudana powder and boiled, mashed potatoes.
- Dough Preparation: The roti dough should be soft and smooth. Since sabudana powder absorbs water while kneading, add water gradually. If the dough is slightly dry, add some water to make it soft.
- Cooking: Cook the roti on a medium flame. Avoid cooking on high flame, as it will remain raw inside.
For Batata Chips Nu Shaak:
- Preparation: Cut potato chips into medium-thick slices. Avoid cutting them too thin.
- Flavor: The taste of this sabzi should be slightly sweet, sour, and tangy, similar to regular Gujarati sabzi. Use sugar for sweetness and lemon juice for tanginess. Alternatively, you can use amchur powder for the tangy flavor.
- Versatility: If you have leftover potato sabzi, you can use it to make parathas or even sandwiches.
For Farali Bhajiya:
- Batter: Make the bhajiya batter with rajgira flour. You can use singhara flour or any other farali flour as an alternative.
- Consistency: The consistency of the bhajiya batter should be medium thick. Add water in batches while preparing the batter.
- Frying: Do not use baking soda in the bhajiya batter, as it will absorb oil while frying. Fry the bhajiyas on medium flame until they become crispy on both sides.
