Mozzarella In Carrozza/Fried Mozzarella in a Carriage

Mozzarella is our favourite cheese, either in a salad or in a pizza seriously i love  to add this cheese very much. Obviously i always have a couple of mozzarella balls in my fridge, they are seriously handy and you can make any dish out of this fabulous cheese. For my today's post, am here with an interesting dish with mozzarella and bread slices. This dish may sound almost like bread toast, but this mozzarella dish goes for deep frying, apart from it anyone who loves mozzarella will definitely go mad after tasting this fried mozzarella in a carriage.

With simple ingredients, you can make a fantabulous evening snacks with mozzarella,bread slices and egg. You can also serve this fried mozzarella as an appetizier too, this recipe goes for egg if you dont want or dont like eggs, you can skip it and prepare this dish with a simple flour coating as you need to coat the mozzarella stuffed bread slices with egg coating.This post goes to this month's International Food Challenge ,a monthly event started by two wonderful food bloggers Sara and Shobana, coz am the host of this month's challenge.

Eggless Strawberry Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies

Thumbprint cookies goes always for shortbread like very buttery and melt in mouth texture cookies. These cookies are seriously very addictive and one of my favourite cookies are simple vanilla and chocolate thumbprint cookies. Today's post is prepared with a fruit pulp that too strawberry pulp, actually these cookies are suggested by Viji for Home Baker's Challenge but somehow i couldnt post these strawberry thumbprint cookies earlier. But thank God these pretty attractive cookies fits prefectly for this week's blogging marathon theme. Theme of this first week is cooking with fruits and i chosed berries from the list given by Srivalli.

After rasgullas and eggless pudding, hope you all will definitely love these scrumptious cookies with strawberries.If you dont get the fresh strawberries, you can still make these cookies with frozen strawberries too, but if you using frozen berries, take care not to add water and make the pulp very thick else your cookie dough will turn watery and your cookies will get flatten easily while baking, they wont retain their shape. Kids will definitely love this cookies and none can stop just with one after having these cookies, yes they are seriously very additive.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#34.

Eggless Strawberry Pudding

Pudding goes always for eggs, but my today's post is completely an eggless, gelatin free, agar agar free pudding. You may think then how i made this pudding. Ok let me say what i used for making this eggless strawberry pudding, i used the humble vanilla flavoured custard powder for making this pudding. Seriously this pudding is one of the easiest, very delicious, fruity and an excellent light dessert after a heavy meal. Actually i used frozen strawberries for making this pudding coz its not strawberry season here.Since i freezed earlier some super fresh sweet strawberries, they are really handy now to make this kind of quick and easy desserts whenever i crave for some strawberry desserts.

This is my second post for this week's blogging marathon under the theme Cooking with fruits, Srivalli gave a list of fruits for us to choose and cook from the list. I chosed berries and cooked with strawberries.After a Bengali sweet with strawberries i prepared this fantastic pudding with some frozen strawberries, we just enjoyed thoroughly this eggless chilled strawberry pudding after our Sunday lunch.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#34.If you want to make this pudding with chocolates,just go for chocolate powder or melted chocolate.

Strawberry Rasgulla

Rasgulla, rassagollas or rasagullas, this juicy Indian cheese based sweet is popular all around the world and its particularly famous in Indian states of West Bengal and Odisha.Rasgullas is made from a ball shaped dumpling of paneer, the famous Indian cheese cooked in sugar syrup. Coming to this strawberry rasgullas, i chosed to make for this week's blogging marathon. The theme of this week's blogging marathon is cooking with fruits, Srivalli the brain child of this monthly event suggested few fruits and obviously we need to cook from the list of the fruits she have given. I chosed berries and my favourite strawberries, eventhough its not strawberry season here. I have already freezed some fresh strawberries during their peak season for further use. Frozen strawberries are seriously very handy and you can make many desserts with them.

Coming to this rasgullas, i made a puree of strawberry and some finely chopped frozen strawberries while preparing the sugar syrup in which the paneer balls are cooked later. I didnt used any food colour and these cheese balls got their colour from the strawberry-sugar syrup while cooking.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#34.This beauties are going Diwali Delicacies Event, hosted by me and Sangee Vijay of spicy treats.
