Semolina Or Suji Quesadilla

Semolina or suji quesadilla. You can name it Indian style quesadilla. Quesadilla is a Mexican dish made of tortilla. But here is a breakfast Quesadilla made with suji pancake or our humble suji chilla. A perfect kids friendly breakfast dish. You can make any veg or non veg stuffing instead of potatoes with lots of cheese. Kids will love the taste.

A quesadilla is a Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla that is filled primarily with cheese, and sometimes meats, spices, and other fillings, and then cooked on a griddle or stove. Traditionally, a corn tortilla is used, but it can also be made with a flour tortilla. A full quesadilla is made with two tortillas that hold a layer of cheese between them. A half is a single tortilla that has been filled with cheese and folded into a half-moon shape. Wikipedia

As I mentioned above you can make any filling of your choice. I have made a creamy stuffing with boiled potatoes, mayonnaise, some sauce, oregano and cheese. You can use any herbs and lots of mozzarella cheese. Your kids will love the taste. You can also use grated vegetables or paneer in the stuffing. You can also use any sauce of your choice instead of pizza sauce.

I like the taste of sriracha sauce but if you don’t have sriracha sauce then you can use any chilli garlic sauce. You can also use leftover roti instead of suji chilla. See the video recipe below of this roti quesadilla.

Blogger group

This post is going to be featured on Facebook gourmet group Shhhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge. In this group every month one of the members decide the theme.

And after preparing the dish members share a picture of the dish and other members have to guess the ingredients.

This month’s theme is Flatbread suggested by Anu Kollon who blog at Ente Thattukada. I have bookmarked her Neer dosa to try.

I gave watermelon and coconut and Kalyani shared an amazing recipe of Watermelon rind dosa with these ingredients.

We have to make the dough with cabbage. Grate the cabbage,add salt and mix well. After 15-20 minutes cabbage will release enough water. Squeeze out the water completely. We will knead the dough with this water so reserve it in a bowl. In a large bowl mix flour with squeezed cabbage and knead dough with the help of it’s reserved water. Add all the spices, grated ginger, finely chopped green chilli and cilantro or coriander. Add salt just before rolling and stuffing the paratha. Roll into a small roti, place cauliflower in the middle and close the edges. Roll again and fry all paratha on a skillet/griddle/tawa or nonstick pan with the help of little oil or ghee.

Mushroom – Low calorie and nutritious mushrooms made this sandwich delicious. I used my mini chopper to finely chop the mushrooms because my husband don’t like mushrooms at all. So I always use minced or finely chopped mushrooms in some dishes and he always happily enjoy the dish without recognizing mushrooms. But you can use thinly sliced mushrooms if you want.

Baby Spinach – This leafy green vegetable taste great. Tender leaves are easy to cook and give a slightly sweet taste. And it also has so many health benefits. I blanched the spinach leaves before using.

How to blanch spinach

Rinse the spinach leaves well to remove all the dirt. Heat sufficient water in a pot. Keep a pot with cold water ready. When water starts to rolling boil add the spinach. Let it boil for 3-4 minutes. Leaves will becomes dark in colour after blanching. Immediately remove the spinach from hot water and place in the pot of ice cold water to retain the colour. Take out from the water before chopping.

Onion And Garlic to enhance the taste and flavour.

Sweet corn – Succulent and delicious boiled sweet corn taste mildly sweet and also enhance the taste of your stuffing.

Scallion – Mild taste and flavour of this green long leaves will also enhance the taste and flavour of stuffing.

Salt – Salt used to give savoury taste. Add salt according to your taste.

Black pepper powder – Use black pepper powder to give a lovely aroma and mild heat. You can also use freshly crushed black pepper. Add black pepper powder 1/2 to 1 teaspoon as per your taste.

Fresh cream – Little fresh cream will give a creaminess and enhance the taste. I used Amul fresh cream.

Tomato ketchup – tomato ketchup will give a sweet tangy taste to the stuffing.

Sriracha sauce – Sriracha sauce added to give a spicy kick. Spicy sweet tangy taste of this sauce will make your stuffing lipsmackingly delicious. You can also use any chilli garlic sauce if you don’t have sriracha sauce.

Chilli flakes – Little chilli flakes used to make the stuffing spicy. But its optional, you can skip it if you want.

Cheese – I used cheddar and mozzarella cheese mixed. I have a pack a mixture of both cheese. And this taste great. Used to give a cheesy delicious taste. You can use processed cheese or any cheese of your choice. Used 1/2 cup in stuffing and some to sprinkle over the stuffing. You can always use more cheese if you want. Add as much cheese as you like.

Butter And Olive oil – Used 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing the stuffing. You can use only butter or only oil if you want. You can also use any other oil instead of olive oil.

Bread – You can use white bread, brown bread, multigrain bread, gluten free bread or any bread of your choice.

If you have the stuffing ready then you can make the sandwiches in a jiffy. You can make the stuffing one day before and store in refrigerator to make the sandwiches for breakfast or lunch. Even you don’t need any chutney or sauce in side to serve these sandwiches or to spread on bread. Because stuffing taste delectable on it’s own. Sauteed mushrooms and spinach and fried onion garlic with sweet corn, scallion, oregano and sriracha sauce, ketchup, butter, cheese and little fresh cream made these sandwich stuffing perfectly spicy creamy cheesy and lipsmackingly delicious.

According to Healthline Although anyone can reap the nutritional benefits of eating millet, it’s been shown to be especially beneficial for diabetes management, making it one of the better whole grains for managing blood sugar. Millet is a good choice for diabetes due to its high fiber content. Fiber helps slow digestion. As a result, sugar enters the bloodstream slowly, lessening the risk of a blood sugar spike.

Potatoes are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be enjoyed by everyone, including people with diabetes. However, because of their high carb content, you should limit portion sizes, always eat the skin, and choose low GI varieties, such as Carisma and Nicola. They’re rich in potassium and B vitamins, and the skin is a great source of fiber. However, if you have diabetes, you may have heard that you should limit or avoid potatoes. The truth is, people with diabetes can eat potatoes in many forms, but it’s important to understand the effect they have on blood sugar levels and the portion size that’s appropriate. To read more click here.

But as I mentioned above you can always use sweet potatoes instead of potatoes. So these cutlets are gluten free, vegan and diabetic friendly. You have to rinse and soak the soybean overnight like chickpeas rajma etc. Next day pressure cook with 1&1/4 cup water. After one whistle reduce the heat and cook for 20-25 minutes or till soybean becomes soft and easy to mash. Don’t discard the remaining nutritious water of boiled soybean if any. Either cook till water absorbed completely or use the water in soup or other dishes.

You can cook kodo millet as you cook rice. Soak in water for 15-20 minutes drain and cook with double amount of water. Use 1 cup water for 1/2 cup kodo millet. You can also use pressure cooker to boil the kodo millet. Pressure cook for 2 whistle. For open pot,when water starts to rolling boil reduce the heat, cover the vessel and cook on simmer for 10-15 minutes or till moisture evaporate and millet becomes soft. Add spices according to your choice. To make your cutlets more spicy add more chopped green chilli or you can also use red chilli powder.

Easy quick cheesy egg sandwich. If you have boiled eggs and potatoes ready then you can make these sandwiches in a jiffy. Vegetarian people can skip eggs and make this with only potatoes. Different types of sauce and mayonnaise with potato and eggs will make these sandwiches absolutely delicious.

Today sharing a most favourite sandwich of my kids. Here is a recipe with two different methods to make the sandwiches. Both taste slightly different. I am sure you will love both the way. Try to following both methods and let me know which one you like more. You may also like one more simple, healthy and delicious bread recipe Soya oats green gram toast here.

I didn’t use lettuce this time. But you can place lettuce over egg potato stuffing if you have. You can use sriracha sauce or any chilli garlic sauce instead of schezwan sauce. Use sauce according to your taste. You can add 1-2 finely chopped green chilli in the stuffing if you like your sandwiches more spicy. But if you are making for kids reduce the amount of chilli and schezwan sauce or skip and add tomato sauce or any sweet and sour sauce.

You can use 2-3 tablespoon more mayonnaise if you like. I had used grated cheese cubes in the stuffing. You can use mozzarella, cheddar or mix of both or whatever you have. Add as much cheese as you like. You can also make a layer of thinly sliced onion, cucumber and tomato if you want to make your sandwiches colorful and you like the taste. Sprinkle little salt and pepper powder over the slices. You can also drizzle little lemon juice if you want.

Method

Peel the boiled potatoes and eggs. Grate the eggs and potatoes.

For first method

1. Mix grated potatoes and eggs. Add all the sauce, finely chopped onion, salt, grated cheese cubes, oregano and mayonnaise. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Second method

Steamed Vegetable In Rice Cooker

Steamed vegetable in rice cooker. Vegetables are smeared with salt and herbs and steamed on banana leaf till vegetables become fork tender. An easy to cook delicious flavorful and nutritious dish without any oil.

You can enjoy these steamed vegetables on it’s own as a salad or main dish. Or you can also serve this with white sauce. Slightly crunchy and flavorful vegetables taste wonderful. I have served it with grilled paneer or cottage cheese and white sauce.

I have placed the vegetables on banana leaf before steaming. Vegetables release juice while steaming. We don’t want to discard the nutritios juice of vegetables, right? So place any edible leaf under the vegetables. Or you can cook your rice or any other dishes under vegetable basket so that juice of vegetables will mix into the dish below.

I have used mushrooms, broccoli, French beans, carrots, cauliflower, baby corn, sweet corn and green peas and seasoned with rock salt, garlic powder, black pepper powder and oregano. You can use any herbs of your choice. If you don’t have rock salt, use any salt instead. You can also use any vegetable of your choice. Add vegetables less or more according to your taste.

So here is the recipe as I made this steamed vegetables. My daughter and I love this steamed vegetables as main dish. I gave the measurement of vegetables as we like. You can always use more or less according to your taste. Or you can also use any vegetable of your choice. I like my vegetables in stripes but you can chop the vegetables in small cubes or in round shape. Small sized vegetables will cook quickly. Chop the vegetables in your desired size and shape. As I mentioned above that you can use any herbs of your choice. You can also use Indian spices if you want.

Recipe

Mushroom – 250 gram

Broccoli – 1

French beans – 1 cup, chopped

Cauliflower – a few florets

Baby corn – 10

Sweet corn – 3/4 cup

Green peas – 1/2 cup

Carrot -2

For seasoning

Rock salt

Garlic powder

Oregano

Black pepper powder

Method

1. Wash all the vegetables well. Cut the broccoli into medium size florets. Chop the carrots into stripes. You can also chop the carrots into small round pieces or in cubes.

2. Cut the mushrooms and baby corn into half. You can also chop the baby corn into thin slices by cutting lengthwise. Chop the French beans into long pieces. Chop the cauliflower into small florets. You can use more cauliflower florets if you like.

3. Marinate all the vegetables separately with rock salt, garlic powder, oregano and black pepper powder. You can marinate the vegetables altogether. But I have mixed the seasoning separately with all the vegetables because some of my family members don’t like mushrooms. If you marinate and place the vegetables separately in steamer basket everyone can enjoy their favourite vegetable.

4. Wash a banana leaf with running water. Place the banana leaf in steamer basket. You can steam the vegetables without banana leaf but I don’t like to waste the juice of vegetables which released while steaming. You can use any edible leaves instead of banana leaf. Or you can cook your rice under the vegetables. Place all the marinated vegetables, sweet corn and green peas over the banana leaf in steamer basket.

5. Pour 4 cup water in the rice cooker. Cover and heat the water on cooking mode. It will take 4-5 minutes to boil the water.

6. When water starts to boil remove the lid and place the steamer basket with vegetables on the rice cooker. Cover and steam for 10- 15 minutes or until the vegetables become fork tender.

7. Check after 10 minutes. Mine are perfectly steamed after 12 minutes. Vegetables should be little crunchy.

8. You can steam the vegetables on stove top but remember water shouldn’t touch the steamer basket while steaming. Taste and add more seasoning if required. Enjoy the hot delicious and nutritious steamed vegetable. You can add a dash of lemon juice before serving. Or you can also serve this steamed vegetables with white sauce.

Notes

1. You can use any vegetable of your choice.

2. Any herbs can be used for seasoning.

3. You can use any salt instead of rock salt.

4. Use vegetables less or more according to your taste.

5. You can also use Indian spices to marinate the vegetables.

6. You can chop the vegetables according to your desired size and shape.
