Savory salad/soup cups(Katoris)

I was inspired by Quicknhealthy blogspot recipe milk-n-cookie cups for this recipe. Since the savory version is preferred by the folks here at home attempted this version. Made them in two sizes.

Ingredients:

whole wheat flour - 2 cups

Oil of choice         - 1 1/2 tbsp

Milk/water            - 1/2 cup or as required (I used almond milk)

Salt                       - as per taste

Garlic powder      - 1/2 tsp

Dry thyme            - 1/2 tsp

Mix all the dry ingredients together. I used my food processor for mixing. Add the oil and milk little by little to make a slightly sticky dough. Knead the dough with your hand for half a minute.

Keep the dough aside for an hour. You can make them immediately too.

Small cups (katoris):

Roll the dough into small balls, flatten it with your palm and then press from the center towards the sides to make a small cup. Ensure the thickness of the cup is even all around for uniform baking.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Meanwhile layer a baking tray or pan with aluminium foil and brush the cups with a little oil and bake for about 20-30 minutes or until done.

Big bowl (katoris):

Roll into medium sized balls(3-4 cm diameter) and flatten it. Use a small bowl greased with a little oil and place the dough on the flat surface of the bowl. Then spread the dough over the curved surface of the bowl get a cup shaped dough with even thickness.I used a small glass jar for this. Take the dough out of the bowl brush the outer side with a little oil. Bake at 375 F for 20-30 minutes or until done.

Serve them filled with food of choice.The small cups could be used as a trendy way to serve snacks or appetizers  for parties.

I used the small cups to serve Indian salad(kosumalli - finely chopped raw cabbage, carrots,chopped cilantro/coriander leaves and cooked moong dal seasoned with salt and pepper).

We had the big bowls filled with beetroot soup (Russian borscht)  for us adults and shredded carrots and beets with cheese for our little one who prefers to eat salads.
