Okay. This is going to be a rant post. When i say rant, i mean heavy duty ranting. So gear up and hold your horses until i come to the recipe itself. Recently, the ladies club in the township announced a cooking competition. For reasons aplenty, i couldnt participate. So, i went ahead and became a lil magnanimous and shared my recipe with a friend. And guess what, she won a prize. So that s technically, my recipe winning the prize. Can you even begin imagining how that feels like? I felt so stupid. Half the reason why i dint go was that i thought i would look like a baby cook in front of all the ladies there. And now when that happened, i was furious with myself albeit the fact that i was happy for my friend who has not stopped thanking me profusely till date while the competition was a week back. Well, i felt pretty dumb but then gone is gone. Moral of the story? If you are a food blogger, if there s a cookery competition happening at just a stone s throw away from your house and you have some pretty decent looking crockery, then please go and cook!Have i ranted and bored you all enough? Ok now the recipe.
This is truly a kid friendly recipe that s super quick on the stove. Plus its not deep fried. Take note my friends. I m heavily emphasizing the not deep fried part. I m sure that sounds like music to your ears. And its healthy enough if its got all veggies right? You can make them as a starter or a snack. Sadly, i couldnt get decent pictures cos i had like what? some 5 people hovering over me while i was trying to shoot. So please bear with the pictures and dont let them deceive you. This was a total hit. Remember the prize?
