Snack
Aloo Paratha

250 grams whole wheat flour (atta)
4 big potatoes (aloo)
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ginger paste
4 teaspoons coriander leaves (finely chopped)
Salt, to taste

1. Boil potatoes, peel and mash them. Add ginger, cumin, salt and coriander leaves and mix well.

2. In flour, add 2 teaspoon butter and sufficient amount of water (about 1 1/4 cups) and make it into dough like bread dough (basically add enough water to form the dough into a ball).

3. The dough is made into small balls and the balls are flattened (not rolled, just flattened between the hands). The potato mixture from step 1 is also made into balls, about the same size as the dough balls, and placed on top of the flattened ball of dough. The dough is then shaped around this top ball so that you're left with a dough ball again, but with the mashed potato mixture at its center.

4. Carefully roll the dough, until it is thinly spread with the potato mixture still inside the center. The thickness should be roughly equal to half the thickness of pita bread or about one and a half times the thickness of a tortilla (it's surface area should be about that of a tortilla).

5. In a wide nonstick pan on medium heat add 3-4 teaspoons of butter and place the rolled dough inside. When small bubbles start appearing on the surface, turn it over and cook for a few more minutes. Then turn it over again and add about 2 tsp. of butter. Do this until both sides of the rolled dough are golden brown. An Aloo Paratha is ready!

Feijoa Tart
PASTRY CRUST (9-inch tart)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon shortening
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut up
2 tablespoons ice water (2 to 3 tablespoons)

PASTRY CREAM
1 1/2 cups milk
3 large egg yolks
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 teaspoons fruit-flavor liqueur
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

TOPPING
20 feijoas, good sized
3 tablespoons feijoa preserves
1 teaspoon fruit-flavor liqueur
(You can substitute feijoa for apricot or loquats, and you can substitute feijoa preserves for any light color jam or preserves)

Dinner
Lowfat Summer Trifle

2 12-ounce packages whole frozen raspberries
1/2 cup sugar, or to taste
1/2 angel food cake, cut into 1" cubes
1 teaspoon cream sherry per glass (raspberry, blackberry, or other liqueurs may be substituted, with good results.)
8 ounces light whipped topping
6 (2 inch) ginger snaps, crushed

1. Gently wash and drain berries. Set aside.
2. Process thawed raspberries in food processor or blender until smooth, about 10 seconds. Strain, if desired, using fine sieve to remove seeds. Stir in sugar. Set aside.
3. Cover bottom of dessert glasses with about 1 1/2 tablespoons raspberry purée. Add angel food cake cubes and fill to half full. Sprinkle with Cream Sherry. Drizzle 3 to 4 tablespoons raspberry purée over cake. Fill remainder of glass with mixed berries, leaving room for topping. Top with whipped topping. Sprinkle with ginger snaps.
