Baked Peas Kachori #Breadbakers

Image
I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months... I tried to make it as good as my mom, but then her cooking has a special touch of love, which makes the food much more tastier.... You can fry these Kachori's as well as bake them...  She use to make both of them, as my dad was...

I am not much fan of Mushrooms.... But,it does have lots of health benefits... Studies shows it helps prevent the chronic disease, due to the presence of antioxidants... I have tried lots of preparations of Mushroom.. Though it is loved by my family, the preparations somehow does not appeal me... And then I started avoiding getting Mushrooms from the store. Last weekend, I went to the nearest Chinese grocery store... I love this store, as it always has fresh vegetables, any time of the day or any time of the week you check there... So, when I saw this box of Mushroom over there, couldn't resist and brought it home... Now, was confused what to make from these mushrooms... I thought, if nothing appeals me, then I will use it in a Veg Biryani.. Then, an idea stuck me, of making it with nuts... I am glad, I made it, as I loved it... And it was so delicious, that all the curry was finished in 1 meal... Happy me.... So, here is the recipe for Nutty Mutter Mushroom, f...
