Tapioca Paneer stuffed Kofta curry

Image
Today While doing vegetable purchase found fresh Tapioca and bought.  Today for a change did Tapioca Kofta curry which is stuffed with paneer. I am always used to eating boiled tapioca with sugar from childhood and recently started experimenting different recipes with it like Tapioca stuffed with cheese Nuggets ,  Tapioca sticks  . Today wanted to make some main dish with Tapioca and here it is an Indian Tapioca Kofta stuffed with paneer curry. These koftas can used without curry as a starter kind or even can go between burger with crispy lettuce, cheese slice and some sauce. As curry It was very good with Indian flat bread.

Zucchini Healthy Dip

Image
Today had this zucchini and was lazy to make elaborate cooking so came up with this sandwich filling which can be used as dip for chips and Nachos. This is pretty healthy and creamy special for fussy kids who hates veges. I have added a cup of Yogurt and one tablespoon of mayo for cheesy flavor. Substitute it with mayo with grated cheese or cheese spread for creamy texture. Instead of Zucchini you can use veges or even pan fried paneer pieces. This is very good for lunch box , evening snacks and also for picnic. It's our duty give kids at least little healthy during this fast food culture prepare healthy foods to suit your kids taste and enjoy.

Layered Masala Parata

Me born in a small city where restaurant treat those days where Ghee Dosa, Paper Dosa and Masala Dosa and Ice creams. And frequent foods are from road side shops where Parata is very famous and I used eat it every alternate day like kids eating fast food these days and loved it very much. After moving to Bangalore never have tasted same kind anywhere. So whenever I visited Salem even now will eat Parata and mainly Kothu Parata. Here I wanted to try making layered parata without satisfication. Finally while browsing in the internet I found this method of making layered parata and was happy it came so nicely and wanted to share the method. Please watch the video and if you have any doubt write it to me.

Spinach Pizza Roll

Image
Bored of making same old pizza, or confused about what to make for evening here is an idea about pizza roll. Today I have made it with white sauce with spinach and stuffed it. you can try it with tomato sauce and more  vegetables. It is difficult to decide what to cook than cooking itself especially if your kids always wants something new. Making small changes in shape and stuffing will provide different varieties of baked items which kids will love to eat. Sometimes you can ask your kid to stuff it with their own favorite. Make your own pizza dough with whole wheat flour and then options are lots to stuff it with.

Today I tried making that Baigan Fry and here is the recipe for Marathi Baigan Fry. Batter is almost similar to Bhaji mix only did not add soda for it.
