Pizza Pin wheels/bites Wheat and oats
About:
Pizza pinwheels are a quick snack and it makes a great party appetizer. These pinwheels are easy to make except for the waiting time of the dough. The dough I used is the blend of whole wheat flour and powdered oats but can even use plain flour or puff pastry rolls for instant and quick version. But using whole wheat and oats without any oil makes it healthy and guilt free.
This pinwheels are same as pizza recipe except that it has to be rolled and shaped to small bites where kids love it tooo.
So enjoy this pinwheels with family friends and even as a party appetizer.

Baked – Broccoli Gobi Manchurian (Indo-Chinese)
About:
My family loves Manchurian and indo-chinese fusion dishes, which makes to try out new variations. In Manchurian have tried baked variations like mushroom munchurian (link), baby corn manchurian (link), soya nuggets manchurian (link). The missed was gobi manchurian. In this recipe as a variation have tried to combine Broccoli and Cauliflower and opted to bake, then sauted in the Manchurian sauce. This is a dried version of Manchurian. The coated florets can also be shallow fried or deep fried in pan.
Here I used gram flower and corn starch for the batter however plain flour can also be used.
Enjoy this as an appetizer. I served this with brown chickpea-capsicum Spaghetti (link) or can also be enjoyed with fried rice (link)
