Masala Roll Ups /Savory Roll Ups - Easy Evening Snack

Image
My son prefers to eat sandwich and roll for his evening snack,one thing which I make often is sandwich with different filling. I usually make this stuffing and make a sandwich but for a change instead of sandwich,roll it and toasted in the griddle.My son loved it and asked me to share it in the blog and I was happy.Here I used some green peas to give a texture,it can be skipped or grated paneer can also be added.Since I had some leftover mint chutney,smeared it on the bread slice and its purely optional.With no further delay lets move on to the recipe..............................                                                                                                                                                                                     Masala Roll Ups                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 10 minutes    Cooking time 20 minutes    Makes 8 -10 rolls

Peerkangai Masiyal/Ridge gourd Masiyal

Image
We make mostly,either kootu or sambar with Peerkangai aka ridge gourd/Chinese okra.But this masiyal was a new to me when saw it in a regional magazine and its a Kongunadu special. One of my friend also suggested and mostly its made with dhal.But this recipe is quite different and no dhal is used,even no need of any spice powders.But here I used little red chilly powder,as I was not sure about the spiciness of the green chilly.I made this masiyal and paired up with white rice,raw banana fry for a comforting meal.The original recipe calls for shallots and tried withboth shallots and onion but tastes better with shallots.Off to the recipe...........................                                                                                                                            Peerkangai/Ridge Gourd Masiyal                                                                      Basic Information  Preparation time 15 minutes  Cooking time 30 minutes
