Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cornmeal yellow (Makkai ka atta)
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour (Maida)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
In a medium bowl, whisk well-
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tbsps flaxseed powder (whisked into hot water 6 tbsps)
  • 1/2 cup milk
Extras
  • 2 tbsps pickled jalapenos finely chopped ( or1tsps finely chopped green chillies)
  • 2 tbsps coriander leaves finely chopped
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds for garnish (optional, but gives a nice look to the bread)
  • corn frozen kernels gives a nice sweet

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven at 200C.
  2. Grease a loaf tin or line with tin foil.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry - till just combined and stir in the jalapenos, coriander leaves and corn kernels. I added a few spoons of the brine from pickled jalapenos as I found the mix somewhat dry. This gave a big flavour boost to the bread.
  4. Pour into greased loaf tin. Flatten lightly with wet fingers and bake for 20 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
  5. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes outside, before slicing.
