Mushroom and Spinach Quesadilla recipe is a combination of tortilla made with all-purpose flour, filled with onion, mushroom, and spinach coated with Indian spices and loaded with lots of cheese.

Quesadilla Recipe – with an Indian touch.

If someone had asked me about 4-5 years back on what a Quesadilla, Burrito, Taco etc. is, I would never have been able to answer them. Because though I had heard about these, I had never tried them.

Some foods have these heavy glamorous names that a lot of times, you just tend to feel something uneasy about them. But then, just like one shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, we shouldn’t judge a recipe by its name.

We started this food exploration journey a couple of years back when we decided that we will try out every recipe out there (till the time they are vegetarian).

Whenever we go out, we would try out something new and that’s how the Quesadillas and Burritos came into my life.

And strangely, when I tried them, I found it so similar to some of the Indian foods that I felt as if it was just another normal daily recipe. Just that it was given a Mexican flavor.

It is at this point that I felt like giving it a typical Indian touch and making it at home. Since then these Quesadillas became another friendly neighbor to my regular Dal-rotis and Dal-Rice recipes.

The best thing about these?

The only family member of mine who has the capability of finding a new excuse everyday (I feel at times, that she can write a book with a 10,001 excuses) for not having her portion of veggies and grains, can be easily fed any of these.

Though, when I do that I ensure that I am making it a little healthier like replacing all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, reducing the cheese I would use, etc.

Quesadilla is a Mexican dish, traditionally made with corn Tortilla filled primarily with cheese and some stuffings like meats, veggies, etc. Then it is grilled or pan-fried till the cheese melts and the tortilla gets a nice crunch from outside.

But since it came all the way from Mexico as our guest, and we Indians are known for our hospitality and we consider our guests by the guide of “athithi devo bhava”, I thought of giving an Indian color to our Mexican friend.

Quesadilla is again a highly customizable dish like burritos, where you can include a wide variety of filling and flavor of your choices.

This Mushroom and Spinach Quesadilla recipe is a combination of tortilla made with all-purpose flour, filled with onion, mushroom, and spinach coated with Indian spices and loaded with lots of cheese.

Quesadilla tastes best when served with mayonnaise, salsa, sauce or any dip.

Quesedilla is a great recipe for kids and great for a weekend meal.

This recipe is just a guide for you, so you can make any changes in the recipe as per your choice and the availability of Ingredients.

Quesadilla is a great way to use up leftover veggies too!

Infact, if you have leftover chapati at home, then simply assemble everything in place and you are ready to go!

You can always replace maida with wheat flour and to make it a little more healthy, you can minimize the usage of cheese or you can use low-fat cheese in it or even make it without that.

So go ahead and try this delicious ” Homemade Quesadilla Recipe” and do not forget to share your experience with us.

We would love to hear from you.

Ingredients

For Dough

For Stuffing

• 2 cup Mushroom chopped
• 2 nos Onion medium size, finely chopped
• 2 cup Spinach chopped

• 2 tsp Coriander Powder
• 2 tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
• 2 tsp Garam Masala Powder
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric
• Mozarella Cheese as required
• 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

How to Mix Dough

• In a large bowl mix, maida, oil, and salt. Mix well.
  
• Now add water little by little and form a dough. Cover the dough with a wet cloth and set aside.
  

How to Make Tortilla

• Now, evenly divide the dough into 4 round chapati balls.
  
• Roll out the dough similar to chapati, and cook on a non- stick pan. Just cook for 1 min on each side. Cook all the tortillas and keep them aside.
  

How to Make Stuffing

• Heat butter in a pan.
• Add the sliced onions and cook them until they are lightly caramelized.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes off.
• Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Add the spinach, and cook until the spinach is wilted.

• Take a thin tortilla and spread some cheese and top it up with filling.
  
• Again put one layer of cheese and put the second tortilla on top and press it to make it stick.
• Add a few more drops of melted butter while pressing gently. (pressing will help the quesadilla stick together and should be easier to flip it over).
• Cook until both sides are nice and crispy golden brown and the cheese starts to melt.
  
• Now gently put the quesadilla on a cutting board and cut into 4 (more or less) slices using a pizza cutter or knife. (you can simply cut it like pizza wedges).
• Serve hot along with salsa, mayonnaise, or hot and sweet tomato ketchup and enjoy!!!

The Indian Style Vegetarian Burrito Recipe is a complete and wholesome meal on their own, stuffed with kidney beans, vegetable paneer rice, sour cream, salsa, and some salads.

I am sure the first question that would have come to your mind is what is this Indian Style Vegetarian Burrito recipe and how can a Burrito recipe be Indian.

Let me explain.

You would have seen that these days I am a little obsessed with fast foods and there is a reason for it.

Just like a lot of moms out there, I too have had a lot of difficulty feeding my daughter. When she was small, I would find different ways of feeding her.

But these days, things have changed again.

My daughter is 10 years old and she likes everything that doesn’t include rice and vegetables.

I have been thinking of a way to ensure that her food intake has enough of veggies in it. That’s when I found her obsession to fast food.

Burgers, Burritos, Nachos, etc. were something she craved for.

And there stemmed this thought of doing something with these recipes.

My experience with this food has been through some of the fast-food chains like Taco Bell. Because of my inquisitiveness with exploring recipes, I usually dissect these recipes to find out what they are made of and how.

With all of that experience, I thought of an experiment.

Creating an Indianized version of these fast food recipes and that is what is you have been seeing over the last few weeks.

With that out of the way, let me come to the Indianized Vegetarian Burrito recipe.

Indianized Vegetarian Burrito Recipe

Since I am strictly vegetarian, my recipes are bound to be vegetarian recipes. So this Burrito recipe is not the authentic Mexican recipe that it should be.

Instead what I am doing is, giving it an Indian touch by using some custom ingredients.

In this recipe here, I used all-purpose flour so that the recipes look good. But I usually use wheat flour in all of these recipes.

That way it is healthy and at the same time has the fast-food flavor as well.

If you look at the Burrito recipe and dissect it, you will find that it is a simple recipe with a tortilla (Indian Roti) wrapping a mixture of vegetables, a semi-solid curry, and some rice.

With that framework for the Burrito Recipe in place, you are now free to use whatever ingredients you like till the time you are not too inclined to make an authentic Mexican dish.

Another choice that you can make is the usage of sauces. That’s again something you can replace. I would even prefer making a simple think gravy that is not a lot spicy and using that for the filling.

Since we use sour-cream the filling anyways isn’t very spicy.

Now again, when it comes to sour-cream, I don’t worry if I don’t have it at home. I used a custom made version of thick curd and that works for me. You can see me using this recipe here too.

The only trick in this Burrito recipe is the process of wrapping it. While I am not perfect in that, my only objective was to ensure that it is wrapped well with none of the ingredients oozing out.

If you want to see how to wrap a perfect Burrito recipe, you can check out this video.

And once all of that is done, comes the fun part – feeding it to your kids.

My daughter was so impressed with it that she constantly pesters me to make it regularly. Now imagine this is the same girl who wouldn’t have eaten any of the ingredients in this if I had given it to her in some other form.

Homemade Vegetable Pizza Puff Recipe

Pizza Puff Recipe is a snack recipe which is a combination of vegetables and Pizza sauce, stuffed inside a puff pastry.

“It is said that anger and storm are both alike. Only after it passes we realize the damage it has done.

Once a monk lived in a village, he had lots of disciples. Among all of them, there was one who was a little different. He had a tendency of getting angry at every small issue. And many times, his debates used to become a cause of fights or quarrels.

In contrast, his Guru was a calm and composed person. He would never get angry at anything. One day the disciple thought, “why is that my guru never gets angry”.

He became inquisitive and decided to ask this question to his Guru itself.

So he went to his Guruji and asked how is it that he ensures that he never gets angry.

The Guru said, “Wait before I give you the answer to your question. I have something important to tell you. I foresaw your future yesterday and found that you are going to die in seven days”.

The disciple was shocked to hear this. He felt the ground slipping from under his feet. He suddenly got up to leave.

The Guru asked, “Wait! Where are you going, I have not even answered your question yet”.

Upon that the disciple said, “What’s the point of that answer now when I knew I will die in 7 days”.

And he slowly walked out of the hut.

And as he was leaving, another disciple ran across and accidentally splashed some dirt onto him.

As always, his eyes turned red with anger and he was on the verge of shouting at him but then he remembered his Guru’s words and his seven days prediction.

He suddenly forgot his anger. A sense of calm took over his thoughts and he walked away, without utter anything.

When the 7 days had passed he was surprised to see himself alive.

He ran to his Guru to ask the reason for him being alive.

He ran into his Guru’s hut, and without even catching his breath he asked, “Guruji, it’s 8 days today and I didn’t die. Your prediction failed. I am alive. Why and how?”

The Guru smiled and said, “First you tell me, in the past 7 days how many times did you get angry on somebody or, about something?”

The disciple thought a while and replied, “Not even once”.

The Guru asked, “Why?”

The disciple replied, “Because whenever I felt like getting angry, a thought crossed my mind. I asked myself if I really wanted to do it with so little time left in my life. If I get angry today, I will lose some very precious moments from my life. And that would calm me down”.

The Guru replied, “You now got the answer to the question you wanted to ask me”.

He continued, “You had 7 days in your life, yet you felt that you had so little time left. But the truth is that we do not even know what the next moment has in store for us. When you are living every moment not knowing if you will be alive the next moment, would you really want to waste it in being angry at someone or, something?”

His disciples understood what the Guru wanted to tell him.

This is true with each one of us. We do not know what the next moment has in store for us. In such a situation, do we really want to waste those precious moments in unnecessary quarrels, fights, and becoming angry at others?

..and at this point, it doesn’t really matter if you are the one who is angry or, the one who is being shouted at.

Onto this week’s recipe.

Pizza puff is something, my daughter loves a lot. I am sure this is something most of the kids love, I guess?

And why only kids, pizza puff is enjoyed by most of us.

This recipe is an inspiration from Mc Donald Mc Pizza Puff. Since we are restricted in dining out or, ordering from outside because of the situation around us, I thought of making this recipe at home.

And of course, if you are regular at my Blog. Then you know these days I am only trying these kinds of recipes.

Also because I am craving to have all these from the past 5 months.

Now no more of those cravings

This Pizza Puff has lots of vegetables combined with Mozzarella cheese mixed with tomato sauce, pizza, and pasta sauce along with some spices.

I have prepared the fried version of this recipe, but if you want you can bake them too.

So, why don’t you give it a try and tell us how it turned out for you by commenting below.

Paneer Wrap Recipe – Crispy Paneer Tortilla Wrap Recipe

Paneer Wrap Recipe is a combination of Tortillas stuffed with crispy and crunchy paneer, onion, lettuce and mayonnaise.

They had asked for only five villages. That’s right just the five villages…

Had it been given, the Mahabharata wouldn’t have happened.

Had it been given, the rivers of blood would not have flowed, Had it been given, relationships wouldn’t have fallen apart.

Chanakya Niti says that Mahabharata begins when there is an attempt to take what is not rightfully yours.

And when there is a desire to give up one’s rights too, that’s where the Ramayana begins.

In the Mahabharata, in spite of the Pandavas completing their Vanavasa (exile in the Jungle) and the Agyatavasa (exile in hiding), which they had agreed for, Duryodhana was adamant that he would not even give an inch of land to the Pandavas without a war.

As a last attempt to avert the war, foreseeing the horrific destruction that the war would bring, Lord Sri Krishna went to Hastinapur as a peace envoy of the Pandavas, with the aim of convincing Duryodhana.

Lord Shri Krishna tried to convince Duryodhana in all possible ways and told him that he should try to avert the war and that war was not the only solution.

Shree Krishna told him that by giving only five villages to the Pandavas, the war can be stopped.

But Duryodhana was so adamant that he did not listen to Krishan and rejected his proposal. He even gave orders to arrest Shree Krishna.

And that is how the Mahabharata started…

The same Mahabharata could have been stopped if there was a sense of mutual respect for each other and an understanding of each other’s feelings.

But that was not to be, because there was no place for Pandu in the heart of Duryodhana and Dhritarashtra, in the first place.

It was just a show-off, the consequence of which was the Mahabharata war.

The Pandavas had the right cultures inculcated into them. In spite of the fact that the Kingdom belonged to them and that they were ousted deceitfully, they still believed in “requesting” and “asking” that they be given what was rightfully theirs.

They never forced their rights on the Kingdom. Instead, they always ensured that they gave relationships, the respect that it deserved. They kept their family at the top of their priorities and always gave utmost respect to Dhritarashtra and his sons.

But they never got the respect they deserved.

This is true in our society today as well.

Only if people were sensible enough to think about the people around them, the ones who look at them with respect and showed some concern towards their prosperity and well-being as well, a lot of broken relationships could have been saved.

And add to it the fact that people like Shakuni exist today as well, just as they did in the Dwapara Yuga. They gossip, speak ill, and create rifts between people leading to brothers fighting brothers and fathers fighting sons.

But then, some things are beyond our control.

The one thing that is in our control is ourselves. The next time be a little compassionate to the people around you. Look at how you can mend a relationship instead of breaking it.

These relationships might just prove to be much more valuable than all of the wealth you have acquired.

With that let us move onto today’s recipe.

I am always in love with the McDonald’s paneer wrap recipe. There were three things because of which I liked paneer wrap.

I love the Soft base/tortillas
Crispy and crunchy coated paneer
and the mayo used in it.

I always have a habit of dissecting recipes. Anything new that I would come across, I would open it once to check how it is made.

It was the same with the Paneer wrap as well. And based on whatever I could make out after the process of dissection, I made it at home today.

I have seen a lot of people making these wraps using the ready-made base called as the tortilla.

That way it is much easier to make this recipe. But I wanted to make it from scratch. So I prepared Tortilla at home itself.

And the Ingredients I have used here for coating the paneer was just perfect, I could see the coating distinctly on the paneer, and that is exactly how I wanted my Paneer patties to look like.

The third is the mayonnaise used in the wrap. I am not sure exactly, which sauce they use in their wrap, but then I tried Chipotle sauce and I really loved the flavor of the sauce.

And guess what, I got almost the same taste as the paneer wraps you get in McDonalds.

Do give it a try and do tell us, how it turned out for you.

15 Minutes Instant Onion Pakoda Recipe

This Onion Pakoda Recipe is a fusion recipe that is cheesy and tasty as this snack demands it to be. This recipe is a great tea time snack and can also be packed for kid’s lunch box.

Onion Pakoda is a famous Indian snack or side dish. We just love this snack especially with tea or on a weekend night or as a snack.

My son loves cheese as all the kids do. So one day I thought of giving a twist to the Onion Pakoras with cheese and everyone in my family loved it.

Ingredients in this Onion Pakoda Recipe are:

1. I have used gram flour which is the main ingredient of the bhajia.
2. I have added 1 tsp rice flour to the batter to make the bhajis crispy.
3. Usually cooking soda is added to the bhajis to make it light but I do not prefer adding it. I have added 1 tsp hot oil to the batter which will make the pakoras crisp. and somehow compensate for cooking soda as well.
4. The batter has Indian seasoning like-red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and lemon juice.
5. After peeling the onions, I washed and sliced the onions but I did not separate the rings. Use it as it is, and season them with little Italian herb, salt, and red chili flakes.
6. I have used shredded mozzarella cheese as the stuffing between two sliced onions. However, you can use grated processed cheese also. On the cheese layer, I have put a 1/4 tsp tomato ketchup also to enhance the stuffing taste.
7. I have served Onion pakora with green chutney and tomato ketchup.

Notes:

1. Make sure that you do not slice the onion too thick because we are using 2 onion slices in one Pakoda.
2. Do not deep fry the bhajis on high flame or low flame. When you put the bhajis into the pan for frying, the oil should be hot and fry on medium flame. When Bhajis are almost done, put the flame to low and fry for 1-2 minutes more on both sides until done.
3. Coat the stuffed onion slices well with the batter before you deep fry it so that the cheese does not come out.
4. You can make it spicier by adding more chili powder or black pepper powder.

Serving Suggestions

1. We can serve these cheesy Onion Pakoras with Tea. Put these Pakoras between 2 pieces of bread and eat like a sandwich.
2. Serve with tomato ketchup or green chutney.
3. You can put the bhajis on roti and make a roll.

We make classic Indian pakoras by combining gram flour, spices, thinly sliced onions, and deep-frying them.
There are plenty of pakoras that we make:

Paneer pakora
Onion pakora
Palak or spinach bhajia
Mirchi bhajia
Potato or aloo bhaji
Tomato bhajia

Now make the Burger Recipe at Home with crispy, crunchy, vegetable patty flavored with some Indian Spices. This Easy Vegetable Burger Recipe is perfect to make your kids happy.

It seems like a lot of precious moments from our lives are slowly slipping out of our hands and as if life has gotten stuck in a circle we aren’t able to get out of.

It’s been almost 6-7 months now to this Pandemic and the situation still looks the same.

Has this become a part of life now?

Do we have to live with it now?

Many unanswered questions that we ask ourselves every morning and then when we do not get answers we carry on with the same cycle.

Today I am going to share a beautiful poem with you all, which is written by “Dilip”.

The “stay at home” and the lockdown, brought out a lot more from Dilip and he is busy writing books and poems one after the other.

This poem is one he wrote when the country went into a lockdown the first time. He was shocked to see the deserted streets and nature enjoying its un-intrusive freedom.

A lot of the questions that I asked at the beginning of the post, will all get answered through this poem.

So the poem goes like this…

I hope you liked the poem. Do comment and let me know.

I feel really bad for kids and the seniors at home. Today they are the ones who are the most impact. They are the ones who are missing out on a lot of precious moments in life.

I will tell you how.

Children who used to go to school and used to enjoy with their classmates. They would carelessly go out to play not having to worry about covering the nose, mouth, and whatnot.

Their childishness, their childish antics have all got lost somewhere.

Online classes, online tuitions, online dance, online music, online games, everything is now online. The emotional connection with people is lost.

I am not sure if it is for the good or, the worse. But it seems like these children have become more intelligent in these five months. They seem to have started understanding technology and connecting with it a lot, at a very young age.

burger

Compare it to us when we were their age, all we did was make a mess of our homes/rooms and here they are learning “Coding”.

Seriously, time has changed a lot. Children seem to have grown up a little too fast. They seem to understand everything very quickly (Even the 2-year olds at home, now seem to operate mobile very easily).

I know, we feel bad about our kids at times. When we see them sitting in front of the computer all the time for everything.

But I guess this is what the future is.

I feel bad about the seniors at home because their condition is almost similar to that of children.

At this age when they should have breathed in the open air outside, should have gone for a walk in the parks, should have spent time with their friends and cracked jokes, they too are imprisoned today.

One look at them and you can see how suffocated they are inside the confines of the home.

The pain is even bigger, especially for those who do not have a family at home to spend time or talk.

Anyways, now when humans have destroyed nature in this way then we will have to suffer the consequences and we can not avoid the wrath that mother nature unleashes on us.

But together let us definitely pray to god that we all come out of this self-imposed punishment, as soon as possible.

Now onto the Recipe

After having Cheese Burst Pizza last week, it was my daughter’s demand to make Burger this week. So I tried making Burger Recipe at home itself.

This homemade burger recipe is a combination of potatoes, vegetables, and some Indian Spices. You can always add vegetables of your choice.

So if you’re looking for a delicious way to feed some extra vegetables to your kid then, look no further! Try this homemade burger recipe this weekend.

Budgeting During the Pandemic – Tough Times Call for different Approaches

Facebook 0
Twitter 0

WhatsApp
Messenger

These are tough times and there is no question about it.

The pandemic has impacted the lives of quite a few people. There are a lot of people who have lost their livelihoods and who are struggling to meet their ends.

I was once asked by a friend, “You are advocating not going out, not consuming outside food etc., but do you know how many people are getting impacted because of that approach?”

A valid question. Isn’t it?

But here’s my 2 cents to it. “I live in a joint family and with elderly parents. They are the ones who are the most vulnerable to this virus and ensuring that they stay protected is my responsibility. And in order to keep them protected, it is important that we stay protected because we are the ones with whom they come in contact the most. In such a case, shouldn’t I be cautious and little over-cautious?”

At the same time, while I understand that these are employment opportunities, I have always been a little skeptical because of the inadequate hygiene and care that food joints and restaurants maintain. I would rather take preventive action than paying a doctor for something.

And I believe I am not wrong in thinking so.

Anyways, back to my discussion.

While organizations have supported most of their employees during this situation when the economy is unstable and they too are impacted, some organizations have had to take tough decisions and they either had to shut shop or, ask their employees to leave.

2 days back when a friend of ours called us and asked us how to start a blog, I was a little surprised. It was then that I got to know that they were going through a tough time because one of them lost their job.

There could be many more like them out there.

At this point, I suddenly remembered the discussion between me and Dilip, where he spoke about that “spare tyre” in life.

When life is smooth sailing, we usually tend to think that everything is and will be hunky-dory, not realizing the fact that there could be tough times ahead. A bumpy road might just be round the corner.

Bumpy roads aren’t a new thing and isn’t impossible to get through.

But the question is, are we prepared for it?

If we are prepared, we will drive through those roads carefully and cross them without a problem. But if we aren’t, an accident is just round the corner.

Nevertheless.

Now that we are going through a tough situation, it is important that we learn from it and prepare ourselves.

Starting a side-hustle like a blog or, an online business is something that I recommend. Don’t rely on a single source of income. But that’s a topic I will keep for another post.

But for this post, one of the other important things – Budgeting and specifically budgeting during the pandemic

Budgeting during the Pandemic – Stay Focused

The moment you say, “Budget” people start to compare you to a “miser”. But that isn’t true –

Budgeting is not synonymous with spending as little money as possible or making yourself feel guilty about every purchase. The aim of budgeting is to make sure you’re able to save a little each month, ideally at least 10% of your income, or at the very least, to make sure that you aren’t spending more than you earn.

– Investopedia

People misunderstand budgeting and tend to run away from it, instead of embracing it.

Don’t do that. Make it a part of your life.

Imagine the reason why governments and big corporations do budgeting. They too need to stay organized and know how to spend their monies.

Why wouldn’t people like us need budgeting?

I used to be like most people. Budgeting wasn’t really my thing.

Not because I didn’t think it was important. Instead, it involved a lot of work and often times I would just be stuck, unable to figure out where to start and how.

This is in fact, another big reason why a lot of people run away from budgeting.

But these days, we have numerous apps and online resources which can help you do that.

I too use some of them.

The other day I came across this very handy resource while I was browsing around.

It’s a financial planning website that is also a very handy calculator website. Not that typical mathematical calculator.

Instead it is a calculator to manage your finances. Surprised!

There’s a ton of information there and a calculator for everything.

I was also surprised with the amount of information that was there on their website. Extremely handy and simple tips for managing your finances, planning for your future and budgeting. Some of those tips can come in handy in budgeting during the pandemic.

The Budget Calculator – The Starting Point

The first step to Money management is understanding where your money is being spent right now and how is it impacting your finances.

And in order to do that you will need a good calculator.

Pigly has a nice and handy budget planner which helps you assess your budget first and to see how your income compares to your overall spend. This is a good place to start your budgeting activity.

Estimated spends across each of the categories is already mentioned. You have an option of changing it as per your needs.

Based on how your budget pans out, you can then go ahead and tweak specific categories so that your budget is adjusted according to your plans.

This planner gives you a nice view of how you finances are looking as on date. You will be able to figure out the areas where you have been spending more and which have an opportunity of a cut.

At the same time, you will also get a view of areas where you haven’t been spending enough and adjust your budgets accordingly.

A couple of things you mind want to keep in mind when using this calculator –

• The currency in the calculator is USD. But that shouldn’t be a problem because currency hardly matters unless you are working with currency conversions.
• Categories are broader and consider most common ones. All of your spends should fit into one of them. Categorize your spends accordingly.
• Use the initial percentages because that is a good baseline. Then tweak them according to your situation.
• The Budget Planner is a good place to start. You can use it in tandem with some of the other calculators available on the website to tweak and plan your expenses.

What I liked most about the calculator was the simplicity. Most calculators are complicated and adjusting them to your needs is a little difficult. But this one isn’t.

And the best part. There is a calculator for pretty much anything – loan calculators, retirement calculators, business calculators etc.

You would be surprised to see an opportunity cost calculator to quit smoking. This calculator shows you the amount you would save if you quit smoking. Isn’t that a good way to start planning to quit smoking.

And for all of you fitness enthusiasts out there, you even have a weight loss and weight gain calculator as well.

You can check out Pigly here!

Get Started Today!

We are indeed going through tough times and dealing with it need a change in approach. Careful and thoughtful planning and preparation is what will help us tide over this situation.

Panicking won’t really help. So, take some time out. Compose yourself and take these difficult times head on.

Comment below and let me know if there is something that you need help on specifically and I will try to respond.

Homemade Cheese Burst Pizza Recipe is a cheesy double-layered pizza made in a Kadai without yeast. This pizza is liked by people who love a lot of cheese in their pizzas.

Children grow up so fast that you don’t even realize.

Today when my daughter came to me asking “Mamma shall I help you out”.

I was surprised at her asking that question.

But I felt really good though, knowing that she understands me and also at the fact that she knows her responsibilities.

But at the same time, I felt that she has grown up a little too fast – Helping me out in my kitchen, starting to do things independently, and many more such other things.

I wish if I could have a time machine, just like “Nobita” in Doraemon series. I would have gone back and spent another day with my daughter when she was small.

Back then I never used to get enough time to spend quality time with my little daughter. My Blog, household work, cooking, doing dishes, taking care of elderly parents, and since we had a joint family, there were many other extra responsibilities too.

And at that time it seemed that those responsibilities were more important than playing or spending time with my kid.

It is good to be responsible for your work and your family. But we should know how to balance things. We should find a way to save some time for our kids.

Today through this post, I would advise all those wonderful parents out there to spend some quality time with your kids because you will never get this time back again.

And most importantly, if you want your children to be attached to you and want your children to share even the smallest thing, then you must spend time with them.

But how?????

Well, there are certain things you can always do to minimize your work and save time for your kids.

Here are some of the things I learned over time

Ways to Squeeze More Time Out of Your DAY

Enough Meal – Make enough meals in the morning itself for lunch and dinner, that way you will save your evening and nights that you can then spend along with your kids.

Extra Space Cleaning – If you have extra rooms or for that matter bathrooms, which you hardly use, it’s better to clean those spaces thoroughly, just once in a week. I think that should be enough. Once you have cleaned it for the week, shut the door so that the rooms stay clean for a week.

Ready-made Food – Keep some readymade food items available always so that in between, you can use them, like oats, cornflakes, etc. instead of cooking a full meal.

Keep it simple – Try making simple food, that way you can save a lot of time. Pick any two days, when you can probably make something lavish. Avoid the lengthy process of making food.

Being Organized – It is good to be organized and to keep the house clean. But there’s something I would like to tell you. When you become a parent and you have kids at home, then it is better to forget about your house being sparkling clean.

Accept the fact, that your house is going to get messy, especially if you have small kids at home. Trust me when you accept that fact your life will be a whole lot easier and you will have happy kids.

Don’t be a supermom – When it comes to multitasking, I know only women can do that (am I boasting?). But please stop! let every member of the family also help you if and when they can.

Don’t feel shy about asking little favors from everybody in the family. This way you can reduce your workload and of course, you will get extra time too.

So those were some practical tips I wanted to share with you. Hope you liked it.

I think it’s time now for the recipe. So let’s jump straight on to the recipe…

Homemade Cheese Burst Pizza Recipe in a Kadhai

Pizza!!!
No need for an explanation about this recipe right??

It’s like a universal recipe, that probably even the kids would know.

Jokes apart…

Today I prepared Cheese Burst Pizza at home in a Kadai.
Something, that most of us are missing during this Lockdown. Especially Kids.

I never really made Pizza in the traditional method before, I would normally use the ready-made dough. Also because I never really wanted to miss a day off in between from my Kitchen and spend the day out at Pizza Hut or, Dominos.

But see what happened…..

Because of this Pandemic, my list of recipes just went up.
Anyways…

Instructions

How to make Pizza Base

• Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
• Now add curd little by little and start kneading the dough. Knead it into a soft sticky dough. (Knead it for about 5-10 minutes)
  
• Now sprinkle some flour over it and knead it again for 5 minutes and make it into a soft dough.
• Add oil to it and knead it again. Set aside.
  

How to prepare Topping

• Heat oil in a pan, add onion, capsicum, paneer, chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt.
• Saute Everything for a few minutes and switch of the flame. Set aside. (Ensure that the vegetables don’t get cooked too much and has a crispy texture)
  

How to make Pizza in Kadai

• Take a plate, brush it with butter. Set aside.
• Place the kadhai on medium heat and spread the salt evenly inside it.
• Then place a small bowl in the center. We will be placing the pizza pan/plate on top of this bowl. This will ensure that the pan/plate doesn’t touch the base of the kadhai and will ensure that the pizza doesn’t get burnt.
• Cover it with a lid.
• Let it pre-heat for about 20-25 minutes.
• In the meantime take the dough and divide it into two equal sizes first.
• Now divide each ball into two in a 70:30 ratio.
• Take the smaller ball first and roll it out.
  
• Heat a pan or tawa and place the rolled out ball on it and roast it very slightly from both the sides. Take the base out before it gets golden bubbles and switch of the gas. (roasting for about a minute should be good enough)
• Now roll out the bigger ball. Roll it slightly bigger (about 1.5 inch bigger in diameter) than the smaller one.
• Take this bigger base and spread it onto the plate that we had brushed with butter earlier.
  
• Now with a fork prick the base all over so that the base doesn’t swell when baking.
• Put some cheese spread in the center and slowly spread it around until it covers about 1/3rd of the pizza base from the center.
• Now take 4 cheese slices and place one below each other in the form of a “+” shape, in the center of the pizza base.
• Then take another cheese slice and cut it into 4 pieces along the length and place each of them around the outer edge of the pizza base leaving about an inch of free space towards the edge.
• Now place the smaller base on top of the bigger one slowly and fold the edges of the larger base over onto the top of the smaller base.
• Seal the edges by brushing water on the edges of the bigger base.
• Using the fork, prick holes all over the top.
  
• Brush butter on the folded edges of the base.
• Now put pizza sauce on the center and with the help of a spoon, spread it nicely until it covers the base except towards the edges.
• Add your toppings on top of the base.
• Now grate the Cheeza on top. You can add cheese as per your choice.
  
• Take the plate and place it slowly onto the bowl inside the kadhai which should already be hot by now.
  
• Ensure that the sides of the plate don’t touch the kadhai.
• Turn the flame to medium-low and let the pizza bake for about 20-25 minutes.
• At about 20 minutes open the lid and check if the edges of the pizza are slightly golden brown.
• If you find that the edges are golden brown, then you can take the pizza out. But if the edges are still not golden brown, then let it bake for another 5 minutes.
• When the pizza is baked, slowly take it out of the kadhai and place it on a cutting board.
• Use a pizza cutter to slice the pizza.
• Garnish it with Oregano and Chilli flakes and your yummy Cheese Burst Pizza is ready to be served. You can also use Pizza Seasoning instead of oragano.

Roasted Tomato Salsa Recipe for Nachos has a deliciously refreshing and smoky flavor that is easy to make and goes really well with Leftover Roti Nachos.

Are you a regular reader??
No?
Hey, What are you waiting for then?

Hurry up…

Subscribe to the “The Tastes of India” and get a chance to receive new and easy to make mouth-watering recipes, stories, and many more…

And if the answer is yes…

Then you know, that I am back in Banglore after a 5-month stay in Kolkata.
Finally, I am back, with lots of love and some precious memories…

People say that in India vidayee (send off) is not complete without tears…
So, Yep I also cried while leaving my parents and siblings back there in Kolkata.

Anyways, this is what probably, life is all about.
But for now, I think I should hold my tears and tell you something more. Hey, did you see me?
Am I not looking like an Alien, who came from space just now

I mean…
I was not even able to breathe with all those masks and PPE kit on, initially, the moment I first entered the flight…
Seriously, this virus made us all do, what we have probably never imagined doing.

We can’t even breathe freely now…
I still remember me asking Dilip, about the movie he was watching some time back. The name of the movie was “contagion”.

Frankly speaking, I really don’t like these kinds of movies. So I asked him, why do you even watch these kinds of movies when these things can never exist.

But now I realized that whatever they showed in the movie has become a reality today.

People are running away from people, due to the fear of this virus. God knows how far will all this go………

I know what are you thinking about now…

You might be thinking as to why do I talk about this pandemic so much these days ???

What do I do?
When I see the surroundings, it seems as if our lives are revolving around corona.

Washing Hands, Legs, Groceries, Vegetables, sanitizing this and that, and what not?

Uffffff….

Sometimes I really get fed up…

But Guys, Do we really have an option?

So it’s better to follow those precautionary measures than welcoming this so-called Pandemic, “Corona” at home.

So Stay Home Stay Safe!

Now onto this week’s recipe…

Salsa is one of my favorite recipes I make very often. My Mom makes a recipe that is very much similar to this recipe and it is called “bhune tamatar ki chutney“, which you might want to try.

This chutney goes really well along with plain rice and dal. You can even try this salsa, along with rice and dal. It tastes yum!!!

The best thing about this homemade salsa is that you can customize it and make it as per your own choice. Just like I did.
Salsa tastes best if you let it sit for at least 20 minutes before you plan to serve it so that the flavors can come together.

It is even tastier and more refreshing if you chill the salsa first. Roasted Tomato Salsa is a great choice for a healthy diet.

Salsa goes really well along with tortilla chips and nachos. YUM!!!

Roti Nachos Recipe is an Indianized fusion version of Nachos and is made using Leftover Rotis. This is an ideal Lunch Box recipe for kids and a great tea time snack.

Only five more days left to go.

And this time too will go away in the blink of an eye.

Today, when I am writing this post, do you know what’s in my mind?

That at this time next week, we will be in Bangalore.

After staying here for so many days with my parents and siblings this time, it will be even more difficult to go away from here leaving them behind. I am feeling very low today.

Haah, I think I should take a deep breath…

Because this is all part of life.

We will go back, only then we will come again. Isn’t it????

Anyways…

Independence day is also over.

By the way, this time Independence Day was very different from every year.

Did not think that we will ever celebrate Independence Day like this!

A Virtual Independence Day!!!

Thanks to our technology………..

In this situation when everyone is locked in their houses and missing face to face interaction.

At least because of technology people can meet and interact with each other.

We were happy to see that kids and office goers alike, all celebrated “Online Independence Day”.

I know the physical connection is still missing, but you see, getting connected with many people online, at a time still means a lotttt…

Something is better than nothing. Right???

So again I would say, try to avoid social gathering as much as possible until this pandemic gets over or we get some concrete solution to get over it.

So let us all pray together for real Independence, Mask Free Independence…

I think I spoke too much and I should stop here and head over to this week’s recipe.

How to Make Nachos with Leftover Roti

As the name suggests, these nachos recipe are made of leftover roti. Leftover Roti Nachos is a great way to use the leftover roti or chapati.

The combination of nachos and salsa is a good tea time snack or munching snack for all, You can serve the nachos with any type of salsa of your choice.

My daughter loves nachos. In fact, who doesn’t?

The first time we had Nachos at PVR, I got shocked in the first place after seeing it’s pricing.

We bought Nachos in a Movie Hall only twice, after that I stopped buying it. I think it’s a complete waste of money.

We can have a proper one time meal for the amount of money that we will spend on eating only a snack.

And I made my daughter also understand the price difference of Nachos we get in the movie hall and outside.

There is no harm in making your kids understand how to value Money.

After that, I started buying packet nachos which I started giving in her snack box. In this way, the frequency of eating nachos increased very much.

Which was again no good for health. And I personally avoid packaged food.

And that is how the process of making Nachos from the Leftover roti began.

Why only leftover Rotis?

Because leftover rotis are dry hence when we fry them they become more crispy and crunchy.

So whenever, we have leftover rotis, I prefer to make these nachos because it is really easy to make. And the best part is that the leftover rotis get over in a snap of the finger.

Kids Happy and Mom double Happy!

Leftover Roti Nachos can be served along with Mayonnaise, tomato sauce, or salsa of your choice.

Unlike the original Mexican dish Nachos which is made with corn tortillas, this leftover Roti Nachos is an attempt to create a Fusion recipe that brings the look and taste of the original Nachos but has an Indian touch to it.

So if you are looking for the easiest Nachos Recipe, then this is the one you should try. This Nachos tastes very much similar to the original one. I have also prepared Roasted Tomato Salsa along with it.

The recipe for which I will be sharing soon.

And do not forget to share your experience with us. Now onto the Leftover Roti Nachos Recipe…
