Bread Bowls


Bread Bowls are a very delicious snack and are fun to make. The bread bowls in this recipe are made with vegetables but you can make chicken or lamb bread bowls by adding meat to the white sauce which will be our main filling in this recipe.


     To Make This Recipe You will need :


  
Boiled Mixed Vegetables  of your choice
1 cup
Bread Slices
9 to 10
All-purpose  flour ( Maida)
1 Tablespoon
Butter
3 Tablespoons
Milk
1 Cup
Salt
To Taste
Pepper
To Taste
Keya seasoning
To Taste
Cheese (Mozarella)
To top the bread bowls


  

    Method :

Start by taking a slice of your choice of bread. I used brown bread.
To make a bowl from the slice of bread, slightly flatten each bread slice with a chapati rolling pin.


After rolling out all the bread slices, apply butter to your molds (I used cupcake molds) and gently press the bread slices into the mold and tear away the excess part of the bread which can be later used to make pudding or bread sweet.



Now, bake these bowls at 150 degrees Celsius for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, start preparing the stuffing for the bowls.

Make the filling:


To a hot kadai, add butter (use cooking butter which is white in color for good white-colored sauce, followed by maida.
Stir the maida and butter mixture continuously on a low flame so as to not form lumps. This mixture is called 'Roux' (pronounced as 'Roo').
When this mixture starts thickening, add milk. Cook it until the whole mixture slightly starts thickening and the maida is cooked off. This is called 'White Sauce'. To this sauce, add vegetables, salt, pepper, and keya seasoning. 
Cook the whole mixture for a minute or so.

* If you choose to make a chicken bread bowl, add precooked chicken to this white sauce.
  

Now, remove your baked bowls from the oven.
Start filling the bowls with vegetable white sauce and top it with grated cheese.
Bake these bread bowls again at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 mins.
Rest bread bowls to slightly cool and unmold.
Serve!!







Eggless Chocolate Cake


This Eggless Chocolate Cake is very delicious and super moist.
In my experience, this cake tastes best after about 4 to 5 hours.


To Make This Recipe You will need :
  
All Purpose Flour
1 ½ Cups
Granulated Sugar
1 Cup
Water
1 Cup
Oil
¼ Cup
Cocoa Powder
3 Tablespoons
Vinegar (or) Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon
Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon
Vanilla Essence
½ Tablespoon
Salt
¼ Teaspoon

  Method :



                       

Begin by sifting the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder into a large bowl.


Take a separate bowl and add water along with sugar. Stir this mixture continuously until the granulated sugar dissolves in the water completely.
To the mixture of water and sugar, add Vinegar, oil, and vanilla essence.


Now add the wet ingredients to ingredients to the contents in the first bowl.


Now, mix well and pour the cake batter into a greased cake tin. I used a tin made with aluminum.


Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius and then bake the Eggless Chocolate Cake for about 35 to 40 minutes.

Keep checking the cake after about 20 to 25 minutes because temperature settings in the oven vary from one another..


Remove the cake from the oven and insert a toothpick. If your
 toothpick comes out clean it indicates that your cake is done. 

If the toothpick  doesn't come out clean then bake it for further

 required  minutes
