Hello ecotrain community 🙏 ! hope all you are doing well. Wishing you very happy holidays. since few days thinking about noodles. It was quite confusing about is it Italian pasta or Asian noodles? Many of this contests' entries are done with instant noodles but here i present an authentic preparation from scratch.
Homemade Indian brown rice noodles with a vegetable stew made with coconut milk.
These are all the ingredients i used.
for making noodles i used:
Brown rice flour 1 cup
water 1.5 cup
salt 1/4 ts
oil 1 tbs
In the boiling water add salt oil and flour and blend it to a dough.
It is grainy and looks like this.
The noodle presser, steamer and dough before kneading
Knead the dough until smoothe.
the raw noodles are fragile so my husband pressed the dough through the noodle press directly into a steamer pot.
or onto indian Idli steamer trays.
cover and steam the noodles for about 4 minutes
vegetable stew ingredents :
1 onion, 1 tomato, 1 bellpepper, a few green beans, 2 mushrooms, 2 potatoes, 2 broccoli tops, all veggies cleaned and chopped bitesized.
crush together 4 garlic cloves+ 2cm ginger root+1 hot chili.
whole spices: 1 star anis, 3 cloves, 2 green cardamom, 2-4 cm cinnamon. 2 bay leaves.
200 ml coconut milk salt to taste and 1/4 ts garam masala.
2 tbs oil.
Heat oil in pan add the whole spices.
add the ginger, garlic, and chili crushed to a paste
Add onion, potatoes, pepper, sautee 2-3 min
Add broccoli, mushrooms, green beans. sautee 3 to 4 min more.
Add tomato and salt. stir well and cook around 4 to 5 min.
the coconut milk settles naturally to a thick fat layer on top and a more liquid milk on the bottom.
Add thin coconut milk and cook veggies on low heat around 5 min.
Add the thick coconut milk and cook 3 to 4 min more. When serving sprinkle with the garam masala.
Serve the delicious healthy noodles and vegetable stew.
Children likes to eat this noodles with milk and sugar. Or the noodles eaten as a festival food with coconut milk mixed with jaggery.
I hope you get the chance to enjoy this recipe soon.
Thank you very much.🙏
