Confetti Pinwheels

-
I was desperately looking for an easy and different vegetarian appetizer for the Christmas party when I saw the add for Pillsbury croissant rolls and different things you can prepare using the frozen rolls.
So I decided to prepare the confetti pinwheels. 
Ingredients:


  1. Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls:1can (8 oz)  refrigerated seamless dough sheet
  2. Nacho cheese dip: 1/4 cup
  3. Finely chopped red bell pepper : 1/3 cup 
  4. Finely chopped green bell pepper : 1/3 cup 
  5. Chopped green onions: 1/3 cup 

Procedure:
Heat oven to 350°F.
Unroll dough; separate into 4 rectangles and place it on a cold baking sheet.
Firmly press perforations to seal. 
As the heat from your fingers would start meting the butter in the dough, refrigerate it for easy handling.
After 10 mins remove it from the refrigerator.
Spread cheese dip over each rectangle to within 1/4 inch of edges. Sprinkle with bell peppers and onions.
Starting with one short side, roll up each rectangle; press edge to seal. 
Put it back in the refrigerator for 10 mins.
With serrated knife, cut each roll into 6 slices.
Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until edges are golden brown. 
Immediately remove from cookie sheet. 
Serve warm and enjoy.
This was a real hit with my friends and vanished like crazy.
I am planning to prepare a batch again soon.
I hope you prepare it and enjoy it with your friends and family.
Till then Happy Blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t
