La poder

All goans are well familier with the "peee pooooo pee poooo" honk of the bread seller. Aroma of  early morning bread has become history.
Just thought of giving a try to make pav at home. With modern ovens, this process is quite a ease.

My Pav memories got refreshed after hearing "paa  heheheheh" from Amitabh. This is what we used chant, when Miss johna used to teach us accent in english.
She used to pronouce "POWER" as "पा" where in it should have been better called "पावर".
somewhere down the lane "पा" went on to beccome "पाँव" and we all were thrown out of class as trouble makers.

Remembered all off this and thought of making pav,

here is the receipie
4 cup wheat flour,
1tbs salt
1bs suger
2tbs butter
2tbs oil
4tbs dry yeast


1. take 1/2 cup water, make it warm and add 4 tbs yeast. mix it and allow it to settle. keep it for 10 mins.
 2. add this solution to wheat flour and mix thoroughly.
3. make 8 small balls of the dough and put it in non stick pan and cover with wet cloth.
4. after an hour of fermentation they will expand.
5. now preheat the oven at 200 degrees and bake them for 30 mins.

done you have pav with you.
