Omelet Quesadilla

-

Quesadilla is a Mexican food primarily made of cheese inside a folded wheat or corn tortilla cooked until the cheese melts. Occasionally other ingredients are added with the cheese, such as chicken, beef, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms, olives, and seafood, to add variety to the dish.

Even though I like Mexican food, unlike my friend Shanta am not a big fan of tortilla. I know its weird but thats how it is :)

So I decided to use omelet in place of tortilla and called it omelet quesadilla.

So this is what we need :

  1. Eggs : 3
  2. Milk : 1 tsp
  3. Potato : 1 small diced into cubes
  4. Tomato : 1 small diced
  5. Mushroom : 1/4 cup , sliced
  6. Broccoli : 1/4 cup chopped finely
  7. Spring onion : 2-3 tbps.
  8. Spinach: handful
  9. Onion: 1/4 cup diced
  10. Green Chili : 1 (if you want it to be spicy)
  11. Cheese : Grated 2 - 3 Tbsp
  12. Salt to taste
  13. Pepper powder : to taste
  14. Oil : 1 tps
Lets make this yummy brunch

  • In a pan add some oil. Once the oil is hot add the diced potato sprinkle some salt and cover. Cook for few minutes till half done.
  • Now add the rest of the veggies except the tomato. Sprinkle some more salt and cook till the potatoes are done. Make sure the potatoes are not mushy.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Beat the eggs with salt and pepper with milk.
  • Heat a pan add few drops of oil into it and pour the beaten eggs into it.
  • Spread the egg evenly across the pan. Cook it over low to medium flame else the egg would burn from the bottom.
  • Once the egg is almost cook add the cooked veggies , tomatoon one half of the omelet, sprinkle the cheese and some pepper powder.
  • Fold the the egg and let it cook for another minute or so till the cheese has melted.
Wallah here is our omelet quesadilla. You can serve it with Toast/Waffles/Pancakes.

You can always change the stuffing as per your wish try some left over chicken or sausage if you eat, make your own :)
I know I know what you are thinking, its more like an veggies omelet. I just didn't wanted it to be called as omelet as there are so many different ways you can make omelet.

So I call it Omelet quesadilla :)

I would be uploading more recipes for different kinds of omelet soon, so that you would why is it necessary to call it something different every time you change something or add a little twist .

All right all the ladies out there try this and make your weekend a lunch free day so that you can get out of that kitchen and spend some quality time with your dear ones.

Till Then Happy Blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-
Image
I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t

As a kid one thing that made me go gaga was aloo bharta with rice. My Grandma makes the best aloo bharta ever. Every year we would go to our village for the summers and among all the running around, swings and swims in the family pond one thing that I miss the most is my grandma's aloo bharta. Its like the ultimate comfort food.  There is actually not much to the recipe but still it just makes me feel loved and cared. Ingredients: Potatoes: 2 large boiled with the skin Green chillies: 2-3 chopped finely Dry Red Chillies: 2 chopped Onion:1 large chopped Mustard Seeds: 1/2 tsp oil: 1 tea spoon Salt to taste Procedure: Peel the skin of the potatoes and mash well with no lumps.

You can always use mustard oil, it will for sure enhance the taste. Add the mustard seeds and red chillies, as the mustard seeds stop splutt
