One of the best things about taco that I love is, you, can be creative, so mix and match what’s ever veggies you have in your kitchen to make tacos. I have used these parathas to make these easy and fun tacos. I have given a twist to making these traditional tacos.
Serves  3

250 Grams Tofu - cut into cubes
For Veggie Marination
1 Bell pepper - cut into cubes
1 Big onion peeled cut into cubes
1 Big Tomato - de seeded and cut into cubes
1 Tablespoons Mustard Oil

¼ Teaspoon Ajwain - rub in your palms
¼ Teaspoon Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
1 Tablespoon Lemon Jucie
To Assemble The Tacos
Shredded Cabbage
Onion - sliced
Shredded Radish - optional
Used radish because I love the sharpness that it reddeners to the wraps
Chipotle Mayonnaise
Cheese
Bamboo Skewers as required
Flaky Parathas - for the tacos
Method
Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least an hour or else they will burn while grilling.

For Veggie Marination
In a bowl, mix in all the ingredients mentioned and keep aside.

For Tofu Marination
Cut the tofu into cubes and keep aside.
In a big bowl, Mix in all the ingredients mentioned in marination well. 
Then add the tofu and mix well. Keep it aside for 15 to 20 minutes so that spices marry well the tofu.
Skewers one onion, one capsicum, one tomato then tofu like wise continue to thread them 2 -3 pieces of tofu in a skewer or according to the length of the skewers. I have used small skewers.  
Then grill them in a non stick grill pan.

To Assemble The Tacos
Slater the parathas with chipotle sauce generously then top it with cheese, 

then the tofu and some veggies
Fold the parathas and 
make the remaining the same way. Grill in a preheated oven at 200°C for 8 - 10 minutes 
or in a non stick pan will a little butter. 
To make them stand, after it's  golden on both sides , take a thong and hold the taco straight till the bottom is golden and stand flat.  
They are all ready to be devoured.
Serve & Enjoy!!

Dalgona Coffee#SundayFunday

My hubby sent me a link on what's app, make this for me. It's was Dalgona Coffee. He is not a coffee drinker, but, still got excited to see this foamy coffee and wanted to taste it, full filled his farmaish😄!!
Dalgona coffee is a whipped coffee.—it started as a Tik Tok trend and has now exploded all over the internet as the trending drink of the moment. It's actually a Korean origin recipe. Is it worth the hype? Only one way to find out, is to make it!! My hubby verdict worth the hype, tasted too good!!

If you've got instant coffee, sugar, and water on hand, you can make this. It'll go by faster if you have a electric hand mixer (don't use an immersion blender - it just doesn't work, I tried it). A regular whisk, will do, you just need a powerful arm, and a good dose of patience and endurance and you'll be rewarded with a nice tall glass of cold, creamy whipped coffee. 
This recipe makes enough dalgona fluff for one serving. It's delicious, chilled and foamy! This coffee is just like Frappe or Indian Cappuccino, served upside down.

Serves One
Ingredients

2 Teaspoons Granulated Sugar
2 Teaspoons Instant Coffee
2 Teaspoons Water
For Serving
Ice, as required
Milk, as required
Method
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, coffee, and water. Using a electric hand mixer or a whisk, vigorously whisk until mixture turns silky smooth and shiny, then continue whisking until it thickens and forms stiff peaks(it takes just 2 - 3 minutes). (If whisking by hand, it will take 8 to 12 minutes to get to optimal fluffiness).
Fill a glass most of the way full with ice and milk, then dollop and swirl the whipped coffee mixture on top, mixing before drinking, if desired.
So fluffy, creamy.. super delicious!!

This is quick bread, have leftover bread slices, the sides bread slice works good for this recipe. Place the pan in the pressure cooker and forget about it for the next 45 minutes. Isn't it that easy? You have a delicious caramel pudding ready for your evening tea. 
My hubby love pudding, keep's reminding me that you have not made any pudding for a long time. Just wants something sweet to eat.

7" Round Pan 
Ingredients
 
For The Pudding 
5 Slice Bread - cut into tiny pieces
500 Ml Milk
½ Cup Sugar
½ Cup Fresh Cream/Single Cream

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
1 Tablespoon Clarified Butter
 
For the Caramel
¼ Cup Sugar  
1 Tablespoon Water


Method
In a large pot/bowl add all the ingredients for pudding and mix well, do not whisk. Leave it aside for an hour or more till the bread pieces soften.
In the meantime in a pan melt the sugar and water till it caramelizes into a slightly dark color. Do not burn the sugar or else the caramel will taste bitter.
Pour this into the pan and let it set/cool completely. I kept it in the refrigerator.
After an hour, pour the prepared pudding mixture into the cooled caramel tin.
Cover it with a aluminum foil. In a broad pressure cooker add enough water keep a ring in it. Then place the pudding pan the water level should be an inch of the pudding pan. Cover the pressure cooker take one whistle on high flame and then reduce the flame to low and keep it for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes switch off the flame. Let the cooker cool completely.
When the pudding is at room temperature, then place it in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight to cool completely.
Un mould it into a deep serving plate.
