Instant Veg Pizza Muffins [without yeast]

By -
Today evening my taste buds were craving for some Italian flavors but, I did not want to go a lengthy route spending hours kneading the dough, waiting for the yeast to ferment the same and then bake a pizza, garlic bread or a focaccia to enjoy with my tea.

It was only few days back that I saw the recipe of these instant savory pizza muffins on a cookery show on TV. The recipe somehow got etched in the back of my mind; without wasting any time, I was ready with my baking stuff...and luckily I had everything in my pantry that I would have loved to have in my muffins: bellpeppers, corns, fresh coriander, Italian seasoning and off-course some Mozzarella Cheese. Believe me, it took me just under 30 minutes to have these hot muffins out of the oven....and lo! my family was elated to relish a lovely tea time treat. Waiting for the recipe? scroll down below !!!

Idli is one of the healthiest Indian breakfast options by far. These soft, pillowy and melt-in-mouth lentil cakes are traditionally made by fermenting rice and urad dal batter overnight; however, the entire process could be quite cumbersome and involves a little amount of planning ahead.

Bhatura is a leavened, puffed deep fried bread made from Maida or All Purpose Flour. A popular recipe from the Punjabi cuisine, it is mainly served with spiced chickpea curry such as Pindi Chholey and Amritsari Chholey . Traditionally, bhatura is made using fermented dough, which is rested for minimum of 6 hours and has a peculiar tang to it. However, when you are short of time and crave for this delicious Chole Bhatura combo, these instant bhaturas come to your rescue. Quick and easy to prepare, they use Eno Fruit Salt as the leavening agent and trust me, that lends the bhaturas with that perfect crispness on outside and perfect fluffiness on the inside. If you can't lay your hands on eno, alternatively, you also have the option to use baking powder and baking soda. Without wasting any time further, let's start with the recipe.

Burani Raita Recipe | Spiced, Garlic Flavored Yogurt

By -
Image
Burani Raita is a famous Indian accompaniment to spicy biryanis and pulaos. A Hyderabadi specialty, it uses some thick yogurt that is mixed with few pounded cloves of garlic and some basic spice powders like red chili and roasted cumin, which lend it that much-needed hint of spicy kick. Not to mention, when it comes to making the Burani Raita, it is no more than a five minutes process and makes for an ideal side dish to go along with any kind of rice preparation or even chapati & sabzi combination. Ideally, this utterly flavorful and aromatic raita only has to it, some pounded raw garlic, however, I have given it a slight twist by topping it with some fried garlic bits and some red chili oil for extra flavoring. This step is totally optional and you can skip it altogether by sticking to the traditional way of making it. So, not wasting any time further, lets move on to the recipe....

Lately I have been getting a lot of requests from my readers to post some different and unique snacks recipes . Therefore, thought of coming up with some delish starters that you can make and serve during tea time or as party appetizers . For me, the most loved Indian tea time snack happens to be the ever popular Punjabi Aloo Samosa and talking about the continental recipes, I am a great fan of Italian cuisine; the aroma of dried herbs, garlic, basil and cheese is simply to die for. Well, what if we do a fusion of these two beautiful flavours/techniques? Thought over it for a couple of days and suddenly this idea of trying out these " Garlic & Herbed Baby Corn Samosa Cigars " popped in my mind. So, one may ask, why I call them Samosa Cigars? That is because the crust covering the baby corns inside is made using the same technique that we use to make the samosas. The only difference is, it is flavored with some fresh garlic, some chopped basil and a bit of dry Ita
