How to make:

1. Crisp the noodles:
For that, boil the noodles in water with pinch of salt and some spoons of oil. Once the noodles are soft and boiled properly, drain out the excess water and let them rest for some 10minutes in open until they are dry.
Once the noodles are completely dry and easily seperable, spread some all purpose flour(maida) in a large plate and dust the noodles with that so they could be fried easily. Deep fry noodles when the oil is hot enough. Fry till they acquire a goldenish tinct.

2. Chop some onions, tomatoes, capsicum and cabbage. In another pan pour 2-3spoons of oil or butter, and shallow fry these vegetables till they become soft. 

3. In another bowl, mix some ketchup, chilly sauce and a spoon of soya sauce (add them as per your taste). 
Pour this sauce mix, in the pan with vegetables.

In a plate, crumble those fried noodles, pour some of your vegetable mix and sauces and add a pinch of salt and pepper to that. Mix them well. Garnish with spring onions and onions. Serve before they get soggy.

First post. Roti taco.

DIY 10minute meal




This can be called by any name. It's a homemade, trial and tested recipe, so I call it 'ROTI TACO', that's Indian homemade taco for me.

Before getting started, I'd like to tell you just need 5things for this,
  1. Cheese.
  2. Mayonnaise (if you don't have mayo, don't worry, you can add a creamy sauce of your choice, or could even skip it)
  3. Tomato ketchup
  4. Salad (I used the basic cucumber, onion,tomato, capsicum mix, but again that's upto you, whatever you want your taco to taste like)
  5. Roti (or tortillas)




It may not look good, as this is my first post, and I cook for myself sometimes, and I don't care how it looks as long as it tastes yumastic! ;)

To start with, crisp the tortillas a bit on medium flame, or half bake the roti. It should not be completely cooked nor should be undercooked.

After you attain that medium crust, apply cheese on half of your bread. We only do the half part so its easy to fold or wrap and the stuffing doesn't fall out.

Mix some mayonnaise and ketchup in a bowl, until it becomes some orangish red, and spread it once the cheese has melted a bit.

Chop fine your vegetables and add some salt and black pepper to taste. Spread some full spoons of the mix over your dressing.

Now slowly fold the remaining side of the bread. Make sure it covers atleast a major part of the filled side. Try holding that crispy folded part over the other part until it sets in that manner.
Turn off the heat and that's ready to eat!
