Welcome to 2020, this year has started on a wrong foot for sure. And while we all have realised that staying at home and lazing around in pajamas in not that fun when you do it more than a week, it has also made us realise how fragile life is and how important are little things we take for granted. We have been locked inside our home since more than a month now and it is the best thing to do at this time. By not going out, we are fighting a battle which we will loose surely, if we show up to face it.

It has also made it clear to many what a privilege it is to be able to stay at home and stay home. #thisisthenewnormal #coronalife

Eating at home has also become the new norm and it has been a challenge with the load of office work, school work and household chores. Cooking is not like normal days because unlike before when I could decide what I want to make and get what I needed for it. now I have to make food as per the things available in our pantry.

We aren’t going out at all and thankfully we are able to get most essentials home delivered. Cleaning up and Sanitising the perishable and non perishable items is another big work.

  • Butter to baste
  • Toppings of your choice : Corn/ Chicken / JalapeƱos / Peppers / Sausage/ Onion

Method :

1. Mix all the dry ingredients and then knead dough with the curd. It will be a sticky dough. Take some oil in your palms and knead it for 4/5 more minutes
