How to make puff pastry
For  puff pastry take 1 1/2  cup refined wheat flour, add a teaspoon of salt , make a dough with COLD water and set it aside 
Cover with a damp cloth for 15 minutes.
 Sprinkle flour on the counter  knead the dough for about 1 minute
.
(a) Roll with a rolling pin into a rectangular shape.

(b)Brush off any excess flour and apply room temperature butter on 2/3rd of the dough

 (c). Leave a gap of 1/2 inch on both sides.

(d) Book fold the dough, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour .

Repeat this process from (a) thrice. we may  need a 3/4 cup of butter.

Now book fold without the butter thrice with chilling in the fridge in between.

To cover the apples roll out the puff pastry , cut out a circular portion slightly larger in diameter  than the diameter of the pan.

Cover the apples with the puff pastry and tuck in the edges.making use of the extra radius

Prick the pastry with a fork.  This prevents it  from puffing up in the oven.

Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 to 40 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 to ten minutes before transferring on to a plate.

Apple tarte tatin is best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

9 dots or pulli kolangal

I f you have come to this blog post in search of  9 dots kolam , 9 to 5 chukki rangoli , 9 chukkala muggulu  or 9 dots rangoli designs you may have come  the right place. As my mother used to say ''manolayam'' - concentration on the task in hand and thinking of nothing else.  Easier said than done.  In fact I find it difficult to stop a kolam at any step ( practitioners of kolam I think will agree ) but time and space are constraints. After viewing these kolangal designs please also like my Facebook page Rangoli sans dots  As they say regimentation and creativity do not go hand in hand.   The choices can be limited only by our imagination.  Each will be beautiful or awesome in its own way.
