HOLA my lovely friends!!
Its MAY already!! I can’t believe in exactly 10 days my little bubs will turn 2.
My Goodness! where did the time go!? My precious little boy is growing up so fast. He is such a sweet boy. It really amazes me how he is starting to develop a calm personality. He loves playing around on his own (thank god for that, which gives mamma some time for her blog and experiments). 😃
Indian style Quesadillas
Today’s recipe is all inspired by my little boy.. This is a beautiful fusion of Indian and Mexican popular dish.
Little A loves eggs a lot especially when it is made it with spices and masalas. haha.. just like mamma.. My little spice lover..
So I make egg bhurji for him quite frequently and serve it with bread, pittas or roti or stuff in a tortilla with cheese to make it yummy, filling and wholesome. And he loves it. Not only him, it has become our fav too. Its flavourful and so quick and easy yo make.
I have added some chopped red peppers to the scrambled egg in the end to add a bit of crunch. It is also a perfect dish to entertain guests. Serve it as snacks with some spicy salsa or a simple ketchup and you are good to go.
Fancy Indiansed Quesadillas!! How good does that sound!!
