Masala Papad for A Quick Snack

Masala Papad is one of the easiest recipe for bringing in a variation to plain papad. You'll find it being served at many restaurants as a appetizer, starter, snack too.

Traditionally the papad is fried in the oil for the recipe, but I've used minimum oil to roast the papad on a griddle (tawa).

Check out how to enjoy this tasty bite ;)

Ingredients:
2 Papad
1 cup Boiled Chickpeas (Chhole)
1 medium sized Onion - finely chopped
1 medium sized Tomato - finely chopped
2 Green Chillis - finely chopped
Fresh Coriander Leaves - finely chopped
Salt to taste
Red Chilli Powder to taste
Pepper Powder to taste
Fresh Lemon Juice- 2 tsp
Oil

Method:

Apply little oil on papad and roast on griddle just like a parantha keeping the flame low.

Turn the papad upside down to roast it from other side as well.

If the edges are bit uncooked, give the papad a quick round up on direct flame. Keep it aside, when done.

Mix Chickpeas, Onion, Tomato, Green Chilli and Coriander leaves in a bowl.

Add Salt, Pepper Powder, Red Chilli Powder and mix well.

Pour the lemon juice in the mixture and toss the veggies.

Spread the vegetables over the papad evenly and serve immediately.

Tip: You may spread green chutney on papad to make it more spicy.

Eggless Chocolate Mug Cake - 2 Minutes Recipe

Hello friends

I'm not very fond of sweets..but my family members surely are :) So to treat them for their sweet cravings, I try making some easy-peasy recipes.

Chocolate Cake is on the top of the list when asked for favourite dessert from anyone. So I tried baking an instant chocolate cake in a mug for the first time. I didn't use egg in the recipe, so that even vegetarians can relish this one.

Here is quick recipe of Mug Cake..

Ingredients:
All purpose flour (Maida) - 4 tbsp
Sugar (Powdered) - 2 tbsp
Coco powder - 1 tbsp

Salt - 2 pinches

Baking Soda - 1/8 tsp
Cooking oil - 3 tbsp
Milk - 3 tbsp

Method:
Mix all-purpose flour and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe mug.

Add powdered sugar. you may increase of decrease the quantity as per your taste. Also add salt and baking powder into it. Mix all dry ingredients in the mug properly.

 Now add cooking oil and milk one by one into the mixture.

 Mix everything well so that there are no lumps.

 Once the smooth batter-like consistency is ready in the mug, microwave the mug for a minute.

Take a quick glance at the cake after a minute of baking. If you feel the cake is partially unbaked, give it one more round of baking in microwave for 30-60 sec.

The moist, chocolate cake is ready to satiate your craving within no time. 

You may add nuts or choco chips to give the cake a better flavour and texture. The variation can be brought by adding essence of your choice as well.

Do let me know if you have any suggestions to bake it better :)
