Shahi Soya Appe

I got this Appe Pan, after a big thought... Saw so many posts in facebook groups, of Appe-Pan using less oil. .Though the idea, was very appealingfor me, but I wante to get this product from India.. When, my hubby went to India, unfortunately he didnot get this amazing Pan for me.. And, somehow, the Indian stores also stopped carrying them... Then, I thought of searching all stores in Bay Area.. And I got this Pan, in Coconut Hill.. Now, I completely agree with my friends, who says this pan gives an amazingly delicious food.


I have been on spree of eating healthy in last few days... I have tried many dishes, few of them set exactly on my taste buds, and Shahi Soya Appe is one of them.... It is very easy to make, full of protein but too delicious to eat.. Even, my kiddo couldn't stop herself in 1... Preparation time needed only for boiling 1 Potato and chopping some onions, and you are done.... Made it for a friend coming over to my place, and was very happy to see her enjoying this yummy snack.

If you do not have Appe Pan, then also you can make crunchy snack, by pan frying it if you are looking for less oil, otherwise deep frying is also a good option.. And, I am really happy to explore this option of giving these to my Kiddo at her school lunch time.. It stays crunchy even after getting cold... One only has to take care, of not packing them hot...

    Cooking is an art... And presenting your food is another art... Well, I believe if food in front of you doesn't look appetizing to you, then you are not going to enjoy the food... So,most of the time, I try to present the meal beautifully, which attracts the family itself to the dinner table... Every month, I bake with Bread Bakers... Every time, I try to come out of my comfort zone, and try to bake something which is new to me... This month's theme is Yeast Flat breads... Being Indian, I always make Flat Breads, as it is our staple food..... So, I decided to bake something about which I have never heard off... And google landed me to this Italian Flat bread " Focaccia". It is the best bread I ever had... So, full of flavors, and delicious... I got this recipe from All Recipes .com ....

    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...
