letter #322 Pao in Ireland

First let's start by saying that I'm Goan. Pao is in my blood. *Or as some would say, "in my genes" 🤣(sorry but that's an inside joke and I just love sprinkling it here and there)

When we moved to Ireland early this year, we obviously knew we wouldn't have access to all the Indian goodies unless we carry them along or buy them imported to Ireland. So that's how we pretty much have everything. Almost. Not Pao though. 

How else am I supposed to have wada pao, pao bhaji and cutlet pao? How? 

I have to make it. It's me after all. ☺️😆

Here's the full spilling of deets. 

Look at this, just look at it..😌

Ingredients:

milk (warm)

2 tsp sugar

7 grams dry yeast

2 cups maida

½ tsp salt

2 tbsp softened butter

Update* I got 9 paos out of this. To increase the quantity I increased the cup measures for maida when made the second time to almost 3cups. Sorry I always play around with measures and I somehow get away with it(mostly) though baking is unforgiving and it's better you stick to professional measurements.

You do what works for you. I'm no food blogger or cook. *I'm just telling you what I did haha*

After about 15 mins research of different recipes in the internet, and some personal adjustments (like I used soya milk) I made it within the span of an afternoon. Cause this does have some waiting to do in between I would suggest you plan accordingly if you want to make this for a meal. I'm going to make pav bhaji soon!! What would you make?

Let me leave you will this. Yum!!!

ta!
