Cupcake Lasagna

By
Disclaimer: I will not claim credit for thinking of this particular recipe even though I've experimented with cuppy versions of other stuff like Nachos.. The underlying punchline applies though... Just as the Nacho's were not made with corn chips (but with Corn Tortilla's instead), This version of the  classic Italian Pasta dish does not contain *Drumroll* any Pasta!!
I came across an article for cupcake Lasagna  being the latest fad in the cupcake series that is sweeping across the US. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703960804576120453548957890.html
As luck would have it, I had nothing but a jar of Pasta Sauce, shredded pizza cheese, a zucchini & a pack of wonton wrappers. and yes an aluminum muffin tray, one of those disposable ones from the dollar store.
"@ this point, I leave you to imagine a cacophony of clanging & clattering sounds in your head"
40 minutes and one disposable muffin tin later, what turned out from the oven was an extremely pleasant & tasty surprise. This dish is definitely one of my 1st try successes & being so easy to make, it's a great dish to serve to kids and have them make it themselves!

 You need: ( Makes 6 cupcake sized portions)

12 Wonton Wrappers from the Oriental store.
1 zucchini
Pasta Sauce
1/2 cup grated Indian Paneer cheese (works as a great ricotta substitute with less Salt)
1/2 cup grated Mozzarella
Italian Herb seasoning to taste

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F

Spoon 1 table spoon of Sauce into each cup (This ensures that the bottom layer of wonton wrapper does not dry out & become crusty)

Make 2 small, diametrically opposite  slits in 6 of the wonton wrappers and place them into the muffin tins as shown

Place a layer of thinly sliced zucchini ( Using a vegetable peeler works best)

cover with a layer of Pasta Sauce followed a layer of grated Paneer

Using a biscuit cutter or a pair of kitchen scissors cut out circles of about 2 Inch diameter with the remaining wonton wrappers. Place a circle of the dough into each cup.
Repeat layering with the zucchini, pasta sauce & paneer. You may sprinkle some seasoning as per taste in between any of the layers.. Top off with pasta sauce making sure that all the exposed wonton wrappers are covered as much as possible ( else you'll be left with crusty bits of dried brown dough).

Top off with Mozzarella cheese or a ready made Pizza cheese blend.
Bake in a 350 F  oven for ~ 20-25 minutes till the Mozarella cheese  on top is bubbly & beginning to brown.
Remove from oven & serve warm with a salad & toasted Garlic bread.

As they say in Italian 'Mangia'!  Bon appetit!

Product Review: Ninja Mega Kitchen system and a recipe for Masala Dosa

By
 One of the biggest reasons for attending conferences is the priceless experience of meeting fellow bloggers and get an invaluable exposure to all things  culinary. This includes vendors with new products to savor and get inspiration from. I had no complaints about whatever appliances I had for making traditional Dosa (Traditional South Indian rice & lentil crepes) batter, a sturdy tabletop stone grinder that you could add the Urad dal, turn the timer on , and 30  minutes later, come back to a container full of fluffy, batter with the consistency of whipped egg whites. The The cons of this is the cleaning up, of the various parts, the roller, the grinding bin, the multiple trays on which the rollers need to be placed while transferring the rice & lentil batter, the invariable drips of thick batter on the counter.... you get the point, It takes quite a bit of time. I was pleasantly surprised when the appliance company, Ninja asked me if I'd like to try an...

Somewhat Rare Treats - Banana Stem Stir Fry

By
The banana tree  has often been described as a perfect example of being totally useful from root to fruit. (well, considering that the 'tree'  is in reality a mutant, giant grass, the description begs for quite a bit of clarification). The banana 'plant grows from fat squat entities called corms which are the actual stems of the plant, the 'trunk' in reality is the base of the leaves which are tightly layered in concentric layers. In terms of its use, other than the fruit, the inflorescence (banana flower)  is often used as a vegetable in Asian cuisine, the leaves are used for wrapping food for steaming, as disposable plates and the occasional umbrella. The fibers from the exterior part of the stems are used for textiles as well as yarn. The core (or the heart)  used for cooking consists of the central, compressed part of the stem, the part which cannot be peeled off in layers. Its been used as a folk remedy for kidney stones and thanks to its fiber rich...

Khandvi deconstructed.. Chickpea flour Spaghetti & Pappardelle Pasta

By
Khandvi may well be my all time favorite noshing 'tiffin' tea time snack & quite possibly  because it can be pretty intimidating at first sight. a beautiful, almost impossible vision to behold, gossamer thin, jellied strips of chickpea flour & sour yogurt, tiny miniature savory Swiss rolls that delightfully wobble in your mouth before delicately disintegrating & gliding  down your throat, making way for... the next little morsel!
