Homemade Flaky Pop Tarts With Indian Blackberry(Jamun) Chia Jam#SundayFunday

These Homemade Pop Tarts are filled with Homemade Indian Blackberry Chia Jam and are the perfect treat! The jam in it is delicious, but you can substitute it for any jam you would like! You will love this recipe, because the buttery flaky pie crust with my favorite Indian Blackberry Chia Jam is so amazing!
Ingredients
For The Crust

310 Grams All Purpose Flour
50 Grams Icing Sugar
200 Grams Cold Salted Butter- cubed
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Tablespoon Ice Cold Water - or as required
Other Ingredients
Homemade Indian Blackberry(Jamun) Chia Jam 
Sprinkles as required
For The Glaze
1/3 Cup Icing Sugar - sieved
1 +- Teaspoon Water
Method
To Make The Crust
Add the flour, salt, and sugar to a food processor and pulse and few times to blend everything together.
Add in the cubed cold butter and pulse until the butter is like pea sized. Add the water and mix just enough so it lightly comes together. It will still look loose but will stick together when you squeeze a chunk of it in your fist.
Take the dough out onto a well-floured surface and lightly knead until it forms a disk. Divide it into two equal disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour or you can keep this in refrigerator for 5 days or freeze it up to three months.
To Assemble The Pop Tarts
Roll out the doughs into about a 10 x 14 sheets.
Using a rectangle cookie cutter, or a rectangle stencil, cut out 6 pieces out of each layer, 12 rectangles in total. 
Place half of the pieces on a lined baking sheet and add 1 tablespoon of the jam. 
Dip your finger in a bit of water and run it around the outline of the rectangle (this will help it stick to top layer).
Place the other piece on top and seal using a fork to push down around the border. Poke a few holes in the dough for the steam to release.
Repeat with the remaining rectangles. Refrigerate this for at least 30 minutes . I placed the tray in the freezer 15 minutes. Preheat the oven at 180°C , bake the pop tarts for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Let them cool till the come to room temperature.
To Make The Glaze
Take a bowl add the sieved icing sugar add a teaspoon of water at a time and make it into a thick pouring consistency glaze.
Pour a tablespoon of glaze on each pop tart and place the sprinkles on top. 
Enjoy them with your favorite cup of coffee or tea.
My Notes 
Use cold or frozen butter. Cold butter helps create air pockets in the dough, which helps creates flakey layers. Room temp butter will thoroughly blend into the dough and not create those layers.

Appe Batata Vada#SundayFunday

Batata Vada and Vada Pav, often called Mumbai's burger, is a street food of India, its simple yet satisfying combination of spiced potato filling & has a crispy exterior. This is traditionally deep fried and is unhealthy. The appe pan, a cast iron or non-stick pan is perfect to make these healthy Appe Batata Vada.
Ingredients
4 Medium Potatoes -boiled, peeled and mashed
4 Cloves Garlic - minced
½" Piece Ginger - minced
2 Green Chilies
2 Tablespoon Coriander leaves
Salt to taste 
For The Batter 
1 Cup Besan
1 Tablespoon Rice flour
1 Tablespoon Semolina (Rawa)
½ Teaspoon Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
½ Teaspoon Eno Fruit Salt
Water as required
Method 
Mash the potatoes well. Grind the ginger, garlic, green chilies and coriander to a fine paste. Add it to the potatoes, salt to taste and mix well. Make small equal size balls and keep aside. See to it that they fit into the well of the appe pan. 
Mix the ingredients of the batter and make a thick batter so that it can coat the vada's well. Add less salt in the batter, since the vada's already have salt, add 1 tsp oil into each well of the appe pan, let it heat up. 
Dip the vadas into the batter and then drop it into the well of the pan.   
Let it brown on the underside before you turn it. It should take about 5 minutes for the vada to be done perfectly. Keep turning, so that it cooks well on all sides. And when frying for the next batch, put some more oil in the wells, let it heat up and then add the rest of the vada's to cook.  
Serve them hot with sauce.
