Recently I was talking with my best-friend and discussing about new recipes and how well things are going with my page, when she introduced me to this amazing dish that's been trending and wanted me to give it a try. Me being an amateur at baking and zero experience, wasn't sure how it would turn out. So, I went online and looked for the recipe and decided to give it a try 🙂. As my first attempt, I made these small ones so that if I fail not much will be wasted and it would be less of a disappointment. I didn't have unsalted butter with me so I used sated ones and just did not add any salt in the dough. Also added a little sugar to it just for a slight extra flavour. Then, while it was baking, my oven broke down with just 10 mins left on it, leaving me completely heartbroken. I thought for a while and came up with a way to salvage it. I added it as a tip to the end of my recipe. So read on to find out how I saved my recipe. 😜😜
PREP TIME: 1 hr
COOK TIME: 20-25 min
1. Base: Add the flour, some salt and frozen unsalted butter in a bowl. If you had salted butter you can skip adding salt to the flour. Mix this well. Now, add cold water, break apart the butter with your hands and mix all the ingredients till you get a crumbly texture. Dust some flour on your work surface and pour out the mixture on it. Now, bring together the mixture to form a dough. Do not knead the dough, you just have to put it together to make a ball. Slowly press the ball to make it slightly flat and tightly wrap it in a plastic wrap. Refrigerate it for 30 mins.
2. Make Filling (Savoury): For this, add some oil in a kadai and put in the sliced sweet potatoes. Add some salt, turmeric powder, cumin powder and chili powder and stir it for 2 mins. Keep it aside.
3. Make Filling (Sweet): Add some oil in a kadai and add the sweet potatoes. Now, add sugar, cinnamon powder and a pinch of salt. Cook this for few mins till the sugar is melted and evenly coated on the sweet potatoes. Set it aside.
4. Bake: Take out your dough from the refrigerator, divide it into two and place it on your work surface. With the help of a belan (rolling pin), slowly roll into a thinner base. Add the savoury filling on one of the bases and sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top, add the sweet filling on the other one and then slowly roll the edges of the dough inwards, with a slight fold to make a bowl shape. Give the edges an egg wash. Add some chopped almonds on both of them and sugar granules on the edges of the sweet one. Pre-heat your oven to 200°C and bake the galette for 20-25 mins until you get a nice brown crust.

* Special Tip: When I was making this dish my oven stopped working in between. So I came up with this trick that you can use in case you don't have an oven or your oven breaks down like mine. In a pressure cooker add about 1 cup of salt and place a stand/grill on which you can keep the galette. Cover the the cooker with it's lid and preferably also remove the rubber ring inside the lid. The point is to get the whole thing heated including the lid and not build pressure. Heat it on a medium flame for 10-15min. Now you can place the galette inside the cooker and cook for 10-15min with the lid on. Your delicious galette is ready to be served.
