Paneer & Cheese Stuffed Veg Cutlets

Hey guys .. I am back :) Last week was exciting as well as boring. Exciting because I made a superdelicious pineapple upside down cake , recipe of which I will post next ... & boring because I had back pain n I had to take leave and couldnot go to office. And to add to this , I bought wrong mobile. :( I am super sad.. ohh yeah !! A mobile means a lot to me .. I always do a lot of research before I buy a mobile and I am always proud abt it. Last mobile I was using was HTC  Desire X which had an awesome  camera , lovely headphones and sound and real smooth touch .. probably the best phone I had. But since I dint put any scratch guard for it and handled it reallly rough the screen behaved preety badly for last few weeks for which I got frustated and just went in a shop and grabbed Samsung Galaxy Core Prime and its a real disaster which I released next day ! Now its on OLX and quicker .. waiting for someone to call :D:D

Anyways , We had a long weekend this time due to Holi on Friday and was busy because of my best friend's engagement. It was real fun ! On Sunday my cousin paid a visit at my place so tried out this cutlets which turned out amazing ... Hope you'll like it too

French Onion Soup

Hey guys

Its been a long time ! I was busy with work and a new venture that I have started ! Yes .. My love for baking inspired me to bake cakes not only for my family but also spread this happiness into lives of others :) I take orders now for birthday , anniversary or any occasion cake . I had no clue I would be doing this any time , but it started somehow and now there is no looking back. I will soon share some delicious yet easy cake recipes. For now , I am posting this soup which I tried yesterday. This soup is very light and gives you enough warmth in winter yet doesn't fill you up. Happy cooking :)

Servings : 4
Preparation Time : 5 min
Cooking time : 20 min
Ingredients :
2 medium sized onions (finely chopped)
2 garlic pods finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter + 1 tablespoon oil
1 tsp fresh pepper powder
1/4 cup finely chopped coriander
1 tablespoon soya sauce
1 cup of milk
4 cups of water
1 veg Maggie Cube
Salt to taste

Procedure :
1. Take a non stick pan and put butter and oil and turn on the gas on medium heat . Add chopped onions once butter has melted and saute till onions are browned. (If you have induction cooktop then this can be done in 4-5 min which takes otherwise a bit longer on gas ) Tip : For onions to cook fast , cover n cook & secondly add pinch of salt.

2. Add chopped garlic to browned onions and saute for a minute.

3. Now add 4 cups of water, soya sauce , maggie cube and pepper powder.

4. Once this water starts boiling add milk. Taste before you add salt at this step, since we added maggie cube which also has salt, hence add accordingly

5. As the soup comes to a boil , add fresh coriander leaves to this . Soup is ready !!! 

You can serve this with toasted bread with cheese grated on top. If you are diet conscious you can have it as it is .
