Calzones - Mushroom Gravy filled

Calzone's are my hubby's favorite, of course he loves all those curry stuffed breads. I also love baking them as you know my love for the smell of yeast and sugar in freshly baked breads.

Gauthu likes it, but every time he gives up in half way coz it's too much for his little tummy to take :*

This time I made mushroom curry filled calzones and my little chef helped with the designs, you can see in the pictures below, the cute little hands making designs :* Mushroom is yet another favorite of mine, oh those lovely button mushrooms when sauteed is heaven! Gauthu was with me the entire preparation time, like an obedient student carefully listening when I was explaining the science of making bread, the two step proofing and stuffs.

This was made as an evening snack, but of course this will cover up your dinner too because of its huge, filling and satisfying. This is definitely something to be tried and you won't regret for effort, because of it is such an easy recipe, but looks fancy and a very complicated bakery. You will get the star chef medal from your loved ones, for your culinary arts.

Ingredients :

Bread dough (Home Made brown bread recipe) I used All purpose flour instead of wheat for calzone bread.

Filling

Mushrooms - 2 cups Garlic chopped - 1 tbsp
Onion - chopped - 1/4 cup
Tomato chopped - 1 nos
Capsicum or jalapeño chopped - 2 tbsp
Italian seasoning - 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil for sauting
Egg wash - 1 egg and 2 tbsp water

Method :

Bread dough making is in my previous recipe.

For filling, saute onions and garlic for 2 mins. Add mushroom and cook till moisture is gone. Add seasoning and salt. Cool the mix completely.

Roll the bread thick after first proofing. Fill one side of it and cover with other side. Seal the edges with fork for the beautiful design and fool proof locking.

Egg wash the calzones and bake in 180 C in a preheated oven for 30 mins.

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out. The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Bionico - Mexican Fruit Dessert

I was looking for a dessert which is simple and healthy for today and what came to my mind was Parfait. But the day was Mexican themed and I didn't want to deviate for the dessert part and spoil my theme plan ;) I was looking for similar desserts of Mexican origin, coz I wanted an easy healthy option and has base ingredients which I already have at home. My search for the recipe ended in this great dessert from Mexico, The Fruit Bionico, which resembles parfait in many ingredients, just some difference in some of them. And I found an interesting factor in it and that strengthened my decision to go on with this. Yes, that is nothing but, our own freshly grated coconut :P Bionico is on sweeter side when compared to Parfait because of its sweetner condensed milk. I had my jars saved from Frozen bottle ice cream cakes, and that helped me to give my Bionico that ramp ready look. After the layers were set up, I was going crazy with the photos, as the beauty was looking so pr...

Soya halwa

Soya halwa or Soyabean halwa, the name itself sounds so healthy and of course whoever would like to have a healthy version of halwa can give a try to this great dessert. I came across this guy very accidently, and if you guys remember my earlier post on Soya milk, this is where the secret talked about in that post getting uncovered. So anyone have any hunch? Ok let me reveal the truth. It was when I was about to throw away the remains of soya milk preparation, I noticed that what I am going to throw away isn't a waste, but having as much as nutrients in soya bean. What if I can preserve it for something, or is there any way I can make a recipe out of it. If you see recently I am doing lots of research on North Indian halwas. So when I say North Indian , it is very much different from Kerala style. What I feel is North Indian halwas are easy to make and doesn't have to be so much conscious about the 2 thread consistency and all, which we have to be very much careful in...
