火燒餅
ingredients 原料
Wheat Grits or Flour ½ padi 小麥碎或小麥粉
Khameer ½ palam 酵母
Powdered Salt ¼ palam 鹽末
Wheat Flour / Fine Wheat Grits (Semolina) - ½ padi 小麥粉／細麥碎 Khameer - ½ palam 酵母 Powdered Salt - ¼ palam 鹽末 Mix the above ingredients with water, knead and make a tight dough. Keep the dough in a warm environment for 2 hrs and let it ferment and puff up. Once Again, knead well and make balls of the weight of 2 palam (70 gms) each using the entire dough. Roll out Rotis of 1 paddy width like mentioned before, and place them on a damp cloth. Cover them with another damp cloth for ½hr. As mentioned before, Put the Rotis on a pan made up of either stone/mud/iron and poke the Roti in its center in 3-4 places here and there with the end of a ladle. When the Roti begins to puff as mentioned before, turn it over and cook it and then remove it from the stove. In practice,
கூண்டுடுப்பு. Konndu-aduppu 磚窯灶
போன் அடுப்பு. Pon-aduppu 餅坑爐
while turning the Roti,
sour buttermilk is also
sprinkled on it . This Roti
can also be made on
Pon-aduppu (firewood
pot stove-like Tandoori
stove) and Koondu-
aduppu.
將上述原料和水混合，揉成麵糰。將麵糰放置在溫暖的環
境中2小時，令其發酵膨脹後繼續揉，揉好後將麵糰分成
幾個重量為2 palam（70克）的麵球。像之前餅譜所述，擀
出1稻穗寬的麵餅，然後將其置於濕布上，再用另一塊濕布
蓋住，放置半小時。如前所述，將麵餅放在石／陶／鐵製
的平底鍋上烤，用勺的末端在餅中心戳3-4下。當麵餅開
始如前所描述的那樣鼓脹起來時，翻個面。餅烤熟後，從
爐中取出。實際操作中，在翻麵餅的同時要灑上酸酪乳。
此麵餅也可以在 Pon-aduppu（餅坑爐，如Tandoori瓦烤
爐）或 Koondu-aduppu（磚窯灶）內烤製。
1. In order to make Rotis on Pon-aduppu, The balls should not be rolled out into circles, instead a damp cloth is to be fold-ed into 4-5 folds and made as a round pillow (Naandle), place the ball on this cloth and flatten it with the palm. Make 3-4 holes in the center of the Roti with a finger.
Pat the Roti just as cow-dung cakes are patted on the inner wall of the Pon-aduppu. After a few minutes, sprinkle some sour buttermilk on the Rotis. When the Rotis cook and turn reddish, press the Roti using a long hooked handle and with another Roti-ladle release the edges of the Roti and move the Roti around inside the Pon-aduppu exposing the roti to the heat of the burning coal. Then remove the Roti from the stove and keep aside. 4 or more Rotis can be cooked on the walls of the stove at the same time.
用 Pon-aduppu 餅坑爐烤餅，不應把麵糰揉
成圓形，而是將濕布折疊成4-5折並製成圓形
饢枕（Naandle），將麵糰放在枕托上用手掌
壓平，再用手指在麵餅中間戳3至4個孔。
就像在 Pon-aduppu 餅坑爐的內壁上輕拍牛
糞餅一樣輕拍麵餅。幾分鐘後，在餅上灑
一些酸酪乳。餅烤熟而泛紅時，用長柄
鈎按住，再用一個餅鏟掀開餅的邊緣，
在爐內挪移烘烤，以吸收燃炭熱量，然
後將餅從爐中取出，放置一邊。爐壁
可同時烤4個或更多麵餅。

2. To make Rotis on Koondu-aduppu which is brick-like in shape – long, square and tall; each ball made from the pre- pared dough should be put in Roti-kinnam* (Roti-mould) and placed on the top surface of the Koondu-aduppu along with the mould. When the Rotis puff up due to the heat, place each of them inside the stove on the floor of the stove using a long handle ladle, ensuring that they are not touching each other. Close the door of the stove with an iron plate. Open the door after 15-20 minutes and check if the Rotis have turned slightly reddish. At this stage, they can be removed from the stove and used. Depending on the space available inside the Koon- du-aduppu, several moulds can be placed simultaneously. To know more about the usage of these stoves, Refer to the glossary.
在長、方和高外型像塊巨磚的 Koondu-aduppu （磚窯 灶）內烤製麵餅：將備好的麵糰製成的球狀麵糰，放入 Roti-kinnam (餅模)中，並與模具一起放入 Koondu-aduppu 內。當餅受熱膨脹時，使用餅鏟將之全部放入爐底，確保 餅麵相互不黏連。用鐵板關上爐门。15至20分鐘後打開爐 門，察看餅色是否泛微紅。若如此，便可從爐火中取出用 之。依 Koondu-aduppu 內部可用空間，可同時放置多個模 具。（欲了解更多爐灶廚具信息，請參閱書後圖錄。）
3. Circle shaped Rotis that are cooked in Pon Aduppu can also be cooked in Koondu-aduppu. The long or square Rotis cooked in Koondu aduppu can also be cooked in Pon-aduppu.
在 Pon-aduppu（柴木餅坑爐）內的圓形麵餅也可以在
Koondu-aduppu（磚窯灶）內烤製。反之，Koondu-aduppu
內的長條或方形餅也可以在 Pon-aduppu 中烘烤。
* To prepare Rotis or biscuits in desired shape, make mould-cups of those shapes using tin sheets. It is also in practice to mark the inner surface of these moulds using letters or different identifications. *注：想要備製 特定形狀的餅或餅乾，可用錫紙製作相應形狀的模杯。實踐中也使 用字母或不同形象來塑造餅模內壁。
