Garlic Chilli Cheese Toast – Blog Hop 7

19 Oct

Another dish from V’s bday menu. Blog hopping schedule gives an advantage of planning as & when you require. I looked for recipe on Kalyani’s blog for a dish to accompany spinach pasta, pizza (base from outside) & what better then something similar to Garlic Bread.

Kalyani has very aptly named her blog as Sizzling Tastebuds & really all recipes sizzle on her blog. Extensive collection of world cuisine. I was waiting for a chance to create a recipe from her space so finally the Wednesday has come to share the same. I used garlic cheese spread in stead of grated cheese, rest I kept same.

  3. Spread a spoonful or more of cheesy mixture on slices.

I had some leftover spread left which was happily confiscated by the guests as they wanted to make these Garlic Chilli Cheese Toast at their place. It was a very simple & quick recipe. I loved it.

Noodles Cutlet – 2 Minute Maggi Cutlet

26 Aug

Some time ago, V’s colleague invited us over. She is a north-Indian & dishes up very tasty food more to the taste we like. She also has many quick snacks & sandwich recipes up her sleeve. Everytime I’ve been to her place, she has treated us to a new snack. And V would gorge telling me with his mouth full to replicate the same snack at home.

Well I obliged him this time and made Noodles Cutlet which she served us. What I liked about this snack was use of maggi to create a cutlet. I never ever thought it. She rolls the cutlets in bread crumbs, I felt that adding them into the batter makes them more stable while frying.

Recipe Source – minimally adapted from A friend

Ingredients -

  • 1/2 Cup – White Sauce
  • 1/4 Cup – Finely Chopped Carrot
  • 1/4 Cup – Finely Chopped Capsicum
  • 3-4 – Cheese Cubes
  • 2 – Maggi Noodles (2 chunks of Maggi, usually a single pack contains one chunk of twisted noodles)
  • 1/4 Cup – Bread Crumbs or Crushed Rusk
  • to taste – Salt
  • to taste – Pepper

Method -

  1. Boil Maggi without the tastemaker. Cook Maggi as per packet instructions. Do NOT add tastemaker. Allow them to cool.
  2. Grate cheese cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients – noodles, cheese, carrot, capsicum, white sauce, bread crumbs, salt & pepper.
  4. Make small round balls & flatten them into discs gently.
  5. Deep fry and serve hot with chutney or ketchup.

This is a very filling snack & perfect for kids as it contains richness of veggies & cheese. You can add as many and as little veggies you want. The sauce needs to be of right consistency or the batter may become to watery.
