Mushroom & Avocado stuffed Omelette 




I happened to develop this nutritious omelette few days back, and it has been on loop here. Undoubtedly a favorite! So I thought it’s high time I shared this recipe on my blog. The omelette consists of a layer of sautéed mushrooms, over which sliced avocados are placed.

I just love how easy the omelette is, and the avocado just doesn’t give out its bitterness which is covered up by the flavor from the sautéed mushrooms. I just looooove sautéed mushrooms and this omelette just is the right and nutrient packed breakfast you should definitely give a try! 😃

Ingredients: recipe for 1

  • 2 eggs 
  • 1 Scallion, chopped
  • 1/4 Capsicum, chopped
  • 1 small Onion, finely chopped
  • 6-7 White Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small Garlic clove, minced 
  • Salt, as required 
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano 
  • 1/2 ripe Avocado, sliced thinly 
  • Olive oil
  • Crushed Chilli flakes


Instructions:

  1. In a pan, pour olive oil and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sauté until raw smell disappears and add in the sliced mushrooms.
  2. Add salt as required and a splash of water.
  3. Next add in the chopped capsicum and sauté and finally add in oregano. And transfer the mushroom mix to a bowl.
  4. In another bowl, crack in 2 eggs and add in the chopped scallions and salt as required and mix well using a fork.
  5. In the same pan used earlier, pour some olive oil and pour the egg mix to the hot pan and swirl areas with excess eggs using a silicone or wooden spoon and allow to cook on low heat.
  6. Spread the mushroom mix prepared earlier on half of the omelette and place the uniformly sliced avocado over the bed of mushrooms and sprinkle the crushed chili flake’s and flip over the other side of the omelette and transfer to a plate and serve with fresh cherry tomatoes.

 White Bread



Years ago, I always thought baking bread was such a difficult task. To my surprise, not only is it easy to prepare homemade bread, it is very rewarding and not to mention the aroma that the baked bread gives is just exceptionally good. I just love the aroma of baked bread!

This recipe is so easy and can be made with basic ingredients that almost every kitchen has, this white bread does not use butter nor eggs. Brioche bread uses butter and eggs, and they are a rich variant of breads. I will definitely share my brioche recipe soon!


The bread is prepared by just combining flour, yeast, sugar, salt, oil and water, as simple as that! Knead well for around 5-10 minutes, or until the dough have developed gluten and the dough is elastic. You can do this test by pulling a portion of the bread dough and checking if the dough stretches well without tearing off, and has a nice elasticity to it, making the dough see through, or also called the window pane test. If you have a stand mixer, the easier it gets! Once the dough is allowed to rise for an hour or until double in size, you must break the air bubbles using your fist, and flatten to a rectangle shape (using your finger tips), to the size of your loaf pan, and roll it to form a log. 

In a well greased loaf pan, (do not forget to oil the lid of the loaf pan too), drop in the dough log and close with lid and allow to proof. Make sure the temperature of your oven is no more than 180 deg C, as having too much heat can make the outer sides of the bread hard.



Adapted from: YouTube Channel - Yeast Mode

Ingredients :

  • 1 cup lukewarm water/milk
  • 3+1/4 Cup All Purpose flour/ Bread Flour
  • 1/4 Sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp Instant yeast (6 gms)
  • 1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
Loaf pan used 8 x 4 x 4 inches

Instructions :

  1. In a bowl combine sugar, water and the yeast using a whisk .
  2. Next add in the vegetable oil and add in your Flour and mis well using a wooden spatula and once almost combined, lightly flour your countertop and flip the dough ball onto the counter top.
  3. Knead the dough for a good 5-10 minutes until the gluten develops and check if the dough is ready by doing the window pan test, (simply stretch a portion of the dough and the dough shouldn't tear apart and light should pass through the stretched dough).

  4. Grease the bowl well and drop the dough, cover using a cling film. Allow to proof/ rest for an hour or until the dough rises double in size. 


  5. Using your fist, punch the dough to release any air bubbles.
  6. Now transfer the dough to the clean counter top and flatten the dough into a rectangle shape with the help of your finger tips. Keep in mind, that the width should be the size of the loaf pan.
  7. Once the dough has been flattened, roll the dough into a log and place the dough log in a well greased loaf pan.


  8. Cover the loaf pan and allow to rise in a warm and dark place for 30 minutes, during this time, pre heat your oven at 180 deg C.

  9. Now bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, depending on your oven temperature. *
  10. Remove the lid of the loaf pan and turn the loaf pan, to release the bread from the loaf pan.

  11. Cover the bread using a kitchen towel and allow the bread to cool down completely.
  12. Now, using a serrated knife, cut the bread into slices and store in a zip lock bag, or a bread basket covered in kitchen towel until further use.

  13. Enjoy your freshly baked home made bread! 


Notes:

*To check if the bread is done, simply tap the loaf pan, and if you hear a hollow sound, the bread should be ready! Or if you have have a kitchen thermometer check the temperature of the inside of the bread.
* Do not be tempted to add too much flour if the dough doesn’t come together, if you add too much flour, the bread can tend to get hard. Remember that the more moist the dough is, the more steam while baking, making the bread softer.
More tips have been mentioned above.
*I have used All purpose Flour (as Bread flour isn’t widely available to everyone) and Water in this recipe instead of milk, you may use bread flour if you have, it yields better texture. 
As for milk, if you use milk instead of water, the crust of the bread tends to be super soft. Use them according to your preference of bread.

 Mango Swiss roll



One of my favorites and successful bakes in the recent times! I must say this one was "next level", like the husband exclaimed. While editing the video/reel of the recipe, my little one comes to me saying, my tummy says that it wants the cake you made yesterday again! You know what such compliments mean, It was craaazy good! Mango Swiss roll right out of a cafe/ bakers shop! I mean it!

This mango Swiss roll shouts summer like no OTHER! I mean, I wanted to play around with flavors, but this one was as good as it was being plain in itself. I would try to add tropical favors like coconut the nect time, for added texture, but otherwise, we loved the Swiss roll with a generous spread of Mango coulis, and chantilly cream (comprises of whipped cream, vanilla and icing sugar).


I happened to buy this R2e2 Mango from Carrefour, it's a huge sized variety of mango family. I had so many ideas to try using this mango, finally I settled for this swissroll that I have been procrastinating since a long time now. Next time I make this Mango Swiss roll, I would probably use a smaller mago for the decoration, as the weight of the Mango slices weighs down the Swiss roll, this R2e2 Mango of Australian origin was delicious otherwise! The best part is that, since the cake is made completely using vegetable oil, the cake stays soft and moist even when taken right out of the refrigerator, and also most ingredients are easily available at home. I am definitely making this for the next party at home, I mean it is such a show stopper that just melts in the mouth. If you haven't tried making Swiss rolls yet, give this Mango Swiss roll a try, everyone is going to be all praises. You can thank me later! <3

This chocolate mousse is the perfect dessert/snack, that you can make almost immediately if you have Greek yogurt in your refrigerator then things are done easy here!

 Stuffed Eggplant topped with Cilbir




This recipe is a Fusion of Greek and Turkish flavors. The Greek style Stuffed Eggplants (with my favorite corn) are topped with the popular Turkish Breakfast called Cilbir. The roasted flavor of the eggplants are elevated with the flavorings from the spices in the stuffing. And the chickpeas are a good source of protein. So the addition of egg is not necessary or vice versa.

Though the recipe may seem complicated, the oven does most of the work for you! You simply cut open eggplants, smear some olive oil and sprinkle salt and allow them to roast while you freshen up for the day! Once the eggplants are roasted, scoop the flesh and set aside in a bowl. Now prepare the stuffing that contains the scooped flesh of the roasted eggplants. With the help of the back of the spoon make an indentation over the stuffing and top it with cilbir* (the recipe of whom is already posted on the blog).

If at all, you are not in the mood to make cilbir, you may simply add cracked eggs into the indentation and bake them until the eggs are cooked. The flavors of the roasted eggplants and the eggs are a match made in heaven! It's super delicious and packed with flavor which also makes a great meal, perfect for breakfast! Enjoy this recipe with a glass of freshly squeezed Orange juice and you will love it! 

Ingredients :

  • 2 large Eggplants
  • Olive Oil, to drizzle
  • Salt, as required
  • 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 small Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup boiled chickpeas
  • 1/4 sweetcorn niblets
  • 1 tsp Curry powder/ garam masala powder
  • 1/4 Black pepper powder
  • Red chillies,sliced, to garnish
  • Coriander leaves, chopped, to garnish

Cilbir (Refer recipe by tapping the link)

Instructions:

  1. In a oven safe tray, like the tray with a baking paper and slice the eggplants into half and smear/drizzle the eggplants with olive oil and sprinkle salt.
  2. Allow to roast in a preheated oven at 200 deg C and roast for about 35 minutes.
  3. Once the eggplants develop a charred color and are very tender, remove from the oven.

  4. Scoop the flesh of the eggplants and set aside. 

  5. In a pan, pour some olive oil and add in your chopped onion and garlic, sauté well.
  6. Next add in the boiled chickpeas, sweetcorn niblets and add in the spices and salt, as required.
  7. Add in the scooped eggplant and saute well.
  8. Now prepare Cilbir as mentioned on my blog post and make an indentation over the stuffing and add the cilbir and enjoy warm.
  9. Garnish with red chillies and chopped coriander leaves.
