Re: Independence Day Cooking Contest!
awwww that looks cute elegance. well done.
ohhh..!!!
Re: Independence Day Cooking Contest!
Elegance that looks really good! Delish!
Ok here are my recipes. I am writing it in steps so it is some what clear an understandable. I will try to be as much precise and detailed as I can…lol
Step 1:
Boil the lasnga strips.
Step 2:
Vegetable filling:
Part 1:
Mix vegetables almost 3-4 cups
1 Green Bell Pepper diced
Brocholi diced almost 1-2 cups
Green peas almost 1 cup
Take a pan, glaze it with little oil, add the mix vegetables, bell pepper, and green peas. All salt and black pepper to taste. On medium high heat cook the vegies till tender and water has almost dried out, add brocholi, cook for another minute or two and then turn the vegies in another dish/pot.
Part 2:
2 Zuchinis peeled and thinly sliced in length
Take the thinly sliced zuchini, lbrush little olive oil, sprinkle salt, pepper, and oregno (oregno is optional, you can also use italian seasoning). Grill/cook the zuchini slices in the same pan for like 2 mins each side. Take them off in a dish.
Step 2:
Part 1:
Red Sauce:
Take the pan you used for making vegie filling. Add 2 tbsp of oil, almost 2 cups of tomato puree, salt, black pepper, little lemon juice, and little chaat masala at the end. let it simmer for few mins. Take it of the heat.
Part 2:
White Sauce:
Garlic paste almost 2 tbsp
Flour almost 2-4 tbsps
Milk ( I didn’t measure it, I was just adding from the bottle :bumme: )
Knor Chicken cubes—2 (if you don’t have chicken cube you can use equal amounts of chicken broth and milk or chicken seasoning or you can just skip chicken)
Oil almost 2-4 tbsp
Take a pan, glaze it with oil, add garlic paste, let it cook for a minute or 2, then add flour, let it cook for a minute or two, then add like 1/2-1 cup of milk. With whisk work on the sauce, get the flour and milk into a paste like mixture, slowly add more milk. Make sure the sauce is neither too runny nor too thick. Add 1 chicken cube and taste the flavor, if the favor is good and salt is little less then just add more salt to taste, if you feel the need of more flavoring then add the cube. Sprinkle black pepper.
Optional:
When the sauce is ready, take like almost a cup out and add green food color to the rest of the sauce.
Step 3:
Cheese Filling:
Ricotta cheese almost 2 cups
eggs almost 3
salt to taste.
In the bowl mic the above three ingredients.
Step 4:
Keema Filling:
Keema almost 1lb
Tomato puree
1 Onion finally sliced
Salt
Red Pepper
Haldi
Corridander Powder
Oil
In a Pot, add keema, spices, onion and little water. When water has almost dried out add tomato puree and oil. Bhoonafy it, sprinkle little chaat masala and your keema is ready.
Layering of lasanga:
-
Take a baking dish.
-
Lay your lasanga strips on the base of the dish. Then take your mix vegetables, spread them and spread some white sauce (turned green) on the vegetables. Make sure the sauce covers the vegetables. Sprinkle like 1/2 cup of low fat mozzaralla cheese on top.
(Note: You can also mix the vegetables in some of the sauce instead of spreading the vegetables and then sauce on them.) -
Lay another layer of lasanga strips. Spread some red sauce on it. Add almost like 3/4 of the cheese filling. Layer your grilled zuchini, spread little red sauce on the zuchini and sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on top.
-
Then cover it with another layer of lasanga strips. Spread little red sauce on them, add the keema mixture. Spread little red sauce on the top of the keema mixture. Cover it with lasanga strips.
-
Now spread almost 1 cup shreaded mozzarella cheese on the top. Make sure you leave 1/4 vertical strip from the very left side and spread the cheese on the remaining 3/4 of the top. Spread White Sauce that was not colored on the 1/4 part and green colored white sauce on the remaining 3/4 part. If your green colored sauce is kid of light green and you want to make the green part darker, sprinkle dried cilantro on the top like I did.
-
Bake it for almost 30-40 mins in a 350 degrees preheated oven. Take the lasanga out and sprinkle some mozzarella cheese on the white 1/4 part and put it back in the oven for the cheese to melt. Take it out. Garnish with chand sita.
Let it set for few minutes before you dig in…
For the 2nd Dish, since I had some of the strips and filling left, so I made lasanga rolls.
Mix the keema and mix vegetables. Take half of the lasanga strips. Make small rolls using the filling. These rolls will be open from ends so be carefull when rolling them. Take a baking dish. Spread some red sauce. Place your rolls in the dish. Spread the remaining white sauce on the top of the rolls. Then take your remaining cheese filling, mix some mozzarella cheese and spread that on the very top. Bake it for like 30 mins in the 350 degrees preheated oven.
Let it set for few mins before diggin in. 
Please excuse my spelling, terminology errors, and other errors…
