Mini Pizza Puffs

Puffs Pizza or Pizza Puffs??....i was so confused to name this dish, both the names sounds suitable i guess ;). As the name suggests its mini pizzas using the puff pastry sheet as the pizza base. The only time consuming step in this recipe is thawing the puff pastry sheet, rest is just simple like how you make a pizza. Add sauce, any toppings you like, you can also add chicken if you prefer non-veg pizza and finally add the cheese...then bake it...that's all !! You can enjoy these pizzas with a crunchy puffs base, a twist to the usual pizza. No need to say about kids rt..they will keep on asking more :). 

What you need?

1 Puff Pastry sheet ( I have used Pepperidge farm brand)

Pizza Sauce or Tomato sauce

Veggies of your choice ( I have used Onions, Bell Pepper, Corn)

Cheese

Italian Seasoning

Red Chilli Flakes

Pepper

Salt

How to prepare?

Thaw the puff pastry sheet as per the packet directions.

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking tray with aluminium foil, lightly grease it.

Once thawed, cut the pastry sheet into any shapes and sizes you desire. I have cut into squares here...each rectangular section into 3 squares.

Tip: It would be easy if you place these squares on the baking tray and then add the toppings. Since the pastry sheet becomes soft on thawing, it might be difficult to transfer them later to the tray after adding  veggies  and cheese.

Apply some pizza sauce on top of each squares. Put the veggies over the sauce.

Sprinkle some salt and pepper. Finally put some cheese on top. 

Repeat the same for each. That's it..they are ready now to hop into the oven. 

Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. All ovens vary, so keep an eye on the oven. You should bake until cheese melts and the base has browned.

Sprinkle some Italian seasoning and red chilli flakes before you serve. Isn't it that simple? Kids will surely enjoy it !!

Makes about 9 mini pizza puffs.

Savoury Poha and the 7 Links Tag Game !!

Poha or flattened rice can be used to make very simple and quick snacks. Sweet poha is very common which is poha-jaggery-coconut combination. It's very tasty and is also given as a prasad in some temples. The savoury poha is also very simple to make and will be ready in few minutes. This can be made as a quick snack and I was surprised when my son too enjoyed it.

Today's recipe is a simple and quick one, but this post is quite long. Hope you all will bear with me ;). I have been tagged in 7 Links Tag game which is an interesting game. All the details are given after my recipe. It took some time to compile this post, but I liked and enjoyed to be a part of this game.

What you need?

1 cup thick Poha

1/2 cup grated Coconut

1/2" piece Ginger finely chopped

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

4-5 Curry leaves

1/2 tsp Chilli powder or to taste

a pinch Asafoetida

1 tsp Oil

Salt

How to prepare?

Wash the poha so as to make it soft. Now squeeze out the water from the poha. Add coconut, ginger, salt to this and mix well. 

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard and cumin seeds. Add curry leaves. Now remove the pan from stove top. When the oil is still warm, add chilli powder and asafoetida. Mix well. Add this to the poha mixture and combine well. Enjoy as a snack or breakfast... !!

Serves 2-3

Notes:

*You can add some peanuts or cashews while tempering.

*Squeeze some lime juice at the end if you desire.

*You can also add some finely chopped green chillies to the poha.

Now, let's get to the 7 Links Tag game. I have been tagged in this game by Ms.Wan of Cooking Varieties. I would like to thank her for that. I am new to this game and I found it very unique and interesting.The rules are simple. 

The blogger who is tagged in this game must select the most apt posts from his/her blog for the categories below, which are the 7 links:

 1. The most beautiful post 

 2. The most popular post 

 3. The most controversial post

 4. The most helpful post

 5. The post that was surprisingly successful 

 6. The post that did not get the attention it deserved

 7. The post I am most proud of

Then the blogger should publish these in his/her space, choose 5 other blogger friends and pass it so as to keep the ball rolling. Isn't it such a lovely game? The best part is this game made me go through almost all my posts till now, think more about them and sure it was hard to decide which one to select. But it's like giving credits to your own posts and to feel proud about your own space. :)

I have selected the following as the 7 links. Hope you will like to read about them.

1. The most beautiful post - Spinach and Carrots Pulao

I chose this as the most beautiful post because its still a hit with my 2 year old son. He loves this pulao so much. His favourites keeps on changing...but he has shown a green signal always for this dish :). What else a mother need to be happy rt ;) Another reason to select this post is because it is one of my innovative recipes, very healthy and colourful.

 2. The most popular post - Banana bread (Eggless and Sugarless)

This is the recipe which has got the most number of hits in my space. I have tried to make this bread very simple and healthy.I make this bread very often whenever there are some overripe bananas at home. This recipe's highlight is that its Eggless, Sugarless, made of Wheat flour and uses very little oil. So its one of my favourite recipes too :)

 3. The most controversial post- Baked Vegetable fritters

It is not a controversial post exactly. But it has a major twist in it. Usually fritters or pakoras are made using besan. But I made them using wheat flour, which is quite unusual ;). Some of my friends asked me why wheat flour and how did it taste etc though they liked my experiment :)

 4. The most helpful post- Gobi Manchurian Baked (Healthy version)

This is the recipe with second highest number of hits in my space. Gobi manchurian is a very popular dish. But  after we have it from fast food, we start worrying about the calories ;). So I came up with a recipe where  gobi's are dipped in wheat batter than maida and also the gobi fritters are baked than deep fried. It's a much healthy way of relishing the favourite dish. Some of my friends found it very helpful and they personally did mention to me about how they loved this recipe.

 5. The post that was surprisingly successful - Brinjal Raita

As I had mentioned in this post, its a recipe which I learnt from my mother. But when I posted it, many of my blogger friends commented that its totally new to them and liked the idea. I used to have this raita from my childhood, so it was not a stranger to me. Brinjal in raita itself was a surprise to many I guess, but it was much appreciated  and I felt happy that I posted a great recipe..thanks to my mother  :)

 6. The post that did not get the attention it deserved- Vegetable Omlette

I thought myself that its a quite innovative recipe. Eggs with veggies makes it an interesting and healthy dish, but I didnt get the response as I thought. This was one of the initial posts when I started my space and I had very less blogger friends, maybe thats the reason it wasnt much appreciated. For me its one of my favourites.

 7. The post I am most proud of - Bread Laddu

This post sounds so interesting rt..laddus with bread !! This is another dish which came from my innovative mind ;). I am proud of it because its the most simple and quickest sweet you can ever make. There is no cooking involved in this recipe. Mix everything and your laddus are ready :) . I am happy because I could get such a recipe from my creative mind..:)

Now I need to choose 5 blogger friends. It was hard to decide, still passing to few of my friends...

Soya Chunks Biryani

Who can resist the hot steaming aromatic biryani ....? I like the rice varieties and my hubby is not a big fan of pulao and biryanis. He will choose the indian breads over rice when given an option. But I am happy that he has started to like my biryanis now, especially the Egg biryani :) I will post that recipe soon. 

But today, I am posting the Soya chunks biryani. I may have told many times that we are big fans of soya chunks..I got Nutrela's mini soya chunks last time and i felt they look so cute :)..You can use the regular soya chunks also. I always find easy methods in cooking and my best helper is the pressure cooker. I love to make pongal, pulao and biryanis in it, which I have found very easy and simple.The biryani came out really nice, my hubby was also impressed ;)...and that makes me happy :) . I served it with a simple onion-tomato raita, pickle and papad. So friends do try this lovely biryani !!

Check out some of my other Soya recipes:

Tandoori Soya, Baked Soya Bread Cutlets, Tapioca and Soya Puffs,

Savoury Kozhukattai / Steamed Rice Dumplings

Wishing all of you a very Happy Krishna Janmashtami, though a little late. May Lord Krishna shower his blessings on all of you and may all your prayers be answered. :)

Kozhukattais are usually prepared using rice flour and very popular in south India. These are steamed rice dumplings which are very delicious. These are my husband's favourite. Sweet and Savoury kozhukattais can be prepared and both are simply great. Below is the recipe for making savoury kozhukattais using rice flour.You can serve these with chutney or even sambhar. I make kozhukattais using Wheat also. Check out those recipes:

Sweet and Spicy Wheat Kozhukattai

Wheat Kozhukattai (Jaggery version)

What you need?

1 cup Rice flour (I use Puttu Podi )

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

1/2 tsp Urad dal

1/2" pc Ginger finely chopped

2-3 Green chillies chopped

4-5 Curry leaves chopped

1/2 cup grated Coconut

2 cups Water 

A pinch Asafoetida

1 tsp Oil

Salt

How to prepare?

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard and cumin seeds. Add urad dal, ginger, green chillies, asafoetida and curry leaves.Saute for a minute. Now add water and let it boil. Reduce to low flame,then add salt and coconut.Mix well and finally add the rice flour little by little, mixing all the time. The mixture thickens very quickly.

When the mixture starts leaving the pan, switch off stove and keep aside. When its warm enough to handle, make medium size balls out of it and place them in a steamer or idly cooker. Steam for 12-15 minutes. Serve hot with coconut chutney or sambhar.

Makes about 15-16 medium size Kozhukattais.

Brinjal Raita

This is a recipe which I learnt from my mother. My mother prepares a raita almost daily for lunch. A simple cucumber raita or carrot raita or mixed raita....different variety raitas, but it is always present in her menu. The main purpose was to make us eat fresh and raw vegetables daily. I learnt the idea of adding apples to raita also from her. View one such recipe here. Brinjal raita is her speciality. I asked the recipe to my mother over phone and made it yesterday. A very simple recipe and it was great, of course wouldn't taste as great as hers :)

What you need?

4-5 Brinjals

1 cup Yogurt

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

3-4 Green Chillies

4-5 Curry Leaves

1 tsp Oil

Salt

How to prepare?

Cut the brinjals into large cubes. Put them in a pan, add a little water...just enough to cook the brinjals. Don't add too much water, we may have to drain the excess water in the end if its more, which means you would end up wasting all the nutrients !! Sprinkle some water in between if necessary. (You can also add a little salt while cooking the brinjals)

Once cooked, you can notice that the brinjal becomes soft. Remove from stove and allow to cool. Then slowly remove the skin from brinjals and put only the flesh part into a bowl. Slightly smash them. Now add the yogurt and salt. Mix well.

Now do the tempering. Heat  oil, splutter mustard seeds, saute green chillies and curry leaves for few seconds. Add this to the raita. Serve with rice or roti.

Serves 2-3

Quesadilla (using Chapathis)

My hubby and myself love Mexican food a lot. I try to recreate some mexican food at home. I had posted the recipe of Mexican Gumbo few days back, which is one of our favourites. There were few chapathis left yesterday and I thought why don't I make some Quesadillas using them. I had some cooked beans left too, which I added along with the vegetables. They were a little different from the flour tortillas with which usually the Quesadillas are made of. But we liked these chapathi quesadillas too, a new fusion food with our desi chapathis :)

View another fusion recipe, Chapathi Mexican Wraps here.

What you need?

4 Chapathi

1/2 cup chopped Onion

3/4 cup Vegetables of your choice (I used capsicum and corn)

1/2 cup cooked Pinto beans (or Black beans)

1/2 tsp Red chilli flakes/Pepper

1 tsp Oil

Seasoning - Oregano/Thyme

Cheese

Salt

How to prepare?

Heat oil in  a pan. Add onions and saute until they turn pink. Add the vegetables and saute until they are cooked. Now add the beans and mix well. Sprinkle chilli flakes, salt, seasoning and mix. Filling is ready.

Heat a tava, spread a little oil. Now place one chapathi on the tava. Sprinkle some cheese. When cheese starts melting, spread some filling on top of cheese. Again sprinkle some cheese over filling, cover it with another chapathi. Apply a little oil on top of the chapathi. Now carefully flip the whole sandwich chapathi.Let it remain for another minute. Remove from tava and cut into 4 parts. Enjoy the hot Quesadillas with salsa or Guacamole.

Makes 2 Quesadillas.

Paneer-Corn-Spinach Sandwich

Paneer-Corn-Spinach....isn't this a lovely combo ? I made a quick sandwich filling with these, its so simple.  This combo is sure healthy, colourful and delicious. Make these sandwiches for breakfast or as snack, kids will also love these !! It's a protein and iron packed filling, so it's a wonderful idea to feed the kids. Please do try these, I am sure you will love the sandwich.

What you need?

1/2 cup crumbled Paneer (Paneer is easy to crumble if at room temp)

1/2 cup Corn

1/2 cup chopped Spinach

1/4 cup chopped Onion

1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

1/2 tsp Chilli powder

1/2 tsp Garam masala

1 tsp Oil

Salt

How to prepare?

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter cumin seeds. Add onions and ginger-garlic paste. Saute until the onions turn pink.  Now add spinach and let it shrink completely. Add corn and saute until its cooked. Now add chilli powder, garam masala and salt. Finally add paneer. Mix thoroughly. Spinach might leave out water, so saute until you get almost a dry mixture. So the filling is ready now. Spread these filling in your bread and enjoy as sandwich.

Makes filling for 3-4 sandwich.

Vegetable Kurma

Vegetable Kurma is a curry which makes a lovely combo with indian breads. You can use any vegetables you prefer in this dish. This curry is a part of menu in almost all the hotels in Kerala usually served with chapathi, poori, or porotta. It can be prepared in various versions. But I like it with the flavours of coconut milk and fresh coconut. This makes the dish rich and creamy, of course very delicious too. Lets check out the recipe now :)

What you need?

1.5 Cup Vegetables (I used peas, carrots, cauliflower)

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

1/2 cup chopped Onion

3-4 Green chillies chopped

1 tsp Ginger-garlic paste

1/2 tsp Turmeric powder

1/2 tsp Garam masala

1/2 cup grated Coconut

1/2 tsp Fennel seeds

Salt

Pepper

Oil

How to prepare?

Soak cashews in warm water for 15 minutes. Grind coconut, fennel seeds and cashews to a smooth paste.

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard seeds. Add onions, green chillies, curry leaves, ginger-garlic paste. Saute until onion turns pink.Now add all the ingredients listed under Spices and saute for few seconds. Add the vegetables, coconut milk and water as required. Cover and cook until the vegetables are cooked. Add salt and finally the coconut paste and mix well. Add water if necessary. Reduce the flame and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Check for salt, sprinkle pepper powder if you want it more spicy. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti or poori.

Serves 2-3

Mexican Vegetable Gumbo

We were in Chicago about 2 years back. One of our friends introduced us to Qdoba Mexican Grill there and also to a wonderful dish called the Mexican Gumbo. Myself and hubby became a great fan of it and we became a frequent visitor to Qdoba. The only thing we used to order was this gumbo. It was such a comforting food. But now we don't have a Qdoba grill nearby and we miss gumbo a lot. So I searched for the gumbo recipe in the web, found there were many recipes and finally came with one after referring to many sites.

Gumbo is referred to as a soup or stew. There are vegetarian as well as meat gumbo's. Usually how gumbo is served is by adding some rice in a bowl, then some black/pinto beans on top and finally the soup is poured  into the bowl. You can add salsa, tortilla chips, sour cream , guacamole or cheese as toppings. This recipe is for a vegetarian gumbo. My hubby just loved it and I too enjoyed it. It tasted a little similar to the one we used to get at Qdoba. So now I am happy that I can prepare a gumbo at home :). But if you go to Qdoba, please don't forget to try the Mexican Gumbo.

What you need?

2 cups cooked Rice

1 cup cooked Pinto/Black Beans 

(Soak beans for 6-8 hours and pressure cook by adding a little salt.I have used Pinto beans here)

For the soup:

1/2 cup chopped Onion

1/2 cup chopped Bell Pepper

1/2 cup Corn

1 Garlic clove minced

1 Jalapeno chopped

2 Tomatoes chopped or use the canned one

3/4 th of a 32 oz can Vegetable broth (approx)

2 tsp Olive oil

1 tsp Cumin powder

few Cilantro/Coriander leaves chopped

Lime

Salt

Pepper

Topping options:

Salsa

Cheese

Guacamole

Tortilla chips

Sour cream

How to prepare?

Heat oil in a large pan. Add the chopped garlic and onions. Saute until onion turns pink. Now add bell pepper and saute until they turn tender. Add the tomatoes,corn,jalapeno and cumin, saute for a minute or two. Now pour the broth, add salt and pepper.Bring this to a boil. Now simmer this for 15-20 minutes. It will get slight thick with a soup consistency.Add water if necessary. Add the coriander leaves and squeeze some lime juice.(or you can do this at the end)

To serve the gumbo, in a bowl add some rice. Now add some beans on top of the rice.

Pour the soup over this. Now use one or more of the topping options. I have used only Guacamole here.
View the recipe of Guacamole here. Mix everything well and enjoy this great dish :)

Steamed egg cubes as Appetizer

Wishing all my blogger friends, a belated Happy Friendship day !! Thank you all for supporting and encouraging me all the time. 

I always like to experiment with eggs. I had posted Steamed Egg Cube curry some time back. As I had mentioned then, these steamed egg cubes look just like paneer cubes. Its sure an interesting and delicious curry.

I was in search of some quick appetizer for my son's birthday party.I wanted to make something very quick, different and interesting. Finally I decided to make these steamed egg cubes as appetizer. I added lot of spices and made these egg cubes very tasty. I arranged them on a tray and inserted toothpicks in them. These cuties caught attention of all the friends who came for the party. All were very curious about what the appetizer was.None of them could guess what it was :) and everyone liked these cute little cubes.

This dish is something which we can make so quick, just mix everything and steam. It makes a different and interesting appetizer for parties. You can even make these as snack for kids. They might like the eggs in a new  form.I tried frying these egg cubes too, that too tasted great. So please do try these for sure, make your kids or guests appreciate you ;)

What you need?

3 Eggs

1/4 cup chopped Onion (optional)

1/2 tsp Chilli powder

1/4 tsp Garam masala

1/4 tsp Coriander powder

1/4 tsp Chaat Masala

1/4 tsp Pepper powder

Salt

few Coriander leaves finely chopped

How to prepare?

Beat well the eggs with rest of the ingredients except coriander leaves. Make sure there are no lumps of any spices in the egg mixture. Finally add the coriander leaves and mix well.

Now take a vessel and coat with oil on all sides. Pour the egg mixture into this. Close this vessel with a lid and place it in the pressure cooker.Pressure cook for about 15 minutes without putting the weight on the top.

(When the steam started coming out, I kept it on medium heat. After 15 minutes, put a spoon and see if it comes out clean. Be careful while opening the cooker).

Once slightly cooled, cut the steamed egg into cubes. If you desire, shallow fry these cubes on all sides. They taste good without frying too. I like both the versions. (In the picture, egg cubes are not the fried version).For parties, you can arrange these egg cubes on a tray, insert toothpick in them and serve. It makes a wonderful appetizer.

Serves 2-3

Notes:

* For the picture shown here, I had used 6 eggs. I just doubled the quantity of spices.

* Feel free to add in any other spices you like. Increase or decrease the quantity as per your taste.

* You can serve egg cubes with or without frying. Both versions taste good.

Coconut Rice

This is one of the simplest and quick rice you can ever make. This rice tastes best with freshly grated coconut and basmati rice. I had made this for my son's birthday party. The pic was taken during the busy party time and sorry that I couldn't get better pics. I had made this for a bunch of people then. But I have written the recipe below for a smaller serving. If you like coconut, then you will surely love this rice. You can have this rice with just any pickle. You can also use leftover rice for making this simple , but great rice!!

What you need?

1 cup Basmati Rice

3/4 cup grated Coconut

1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds

1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds

2 tbsp broken Cashews

3-4 Green Chillies chopped

1 tbsp Coconut Oil

A pinch Asafoetida

How to prepare?

Wash the rice and soak in water for 30 minutes. In a pressure cooker, add 2 tsp oil, add the rice after draining the water. Fry the rice slightly for few seconds. Add water and a little salt. Pressure cook for 2 whistles. Once the pressure is released, remove the cooked rice from the cooker and spread it on a plate so that rice won't be sticky.

Heat oil in a pan. Splutter mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Add the cashews and fry until they turn slight brown. Now add urad dal, fry for few seconds. Add the curry leaves and asafoetida. Now add ginger, green chilli and saute for few seconds. Then add the coconut and mix well. Add a little salt , but remember that rice was cooked by adding salt, so add accordingly. Finally add the rice and mix thoroughly.Serve hot with pickle and papad or raita.

Serves 3-4

Notes:

*You can add chana dal too while tempering.

*Increase coconut if you desire for a great taste.

*You can use leftover rice also for making this.
