The Surprise- April Challenge!

This is sort of going to be different this time…

For those of you’ll who are new to these challenges, all you’ll have to do is select something from the list, make it, prepare a post by the last week of that month and publish it. A linking tool will be open during the last week and you’ll can share your recipes😊 There will be 1 or more judges to judge the challenge and I’ll be making a post with some of the best features.

You’ll have to choose numbers instead of recipes. The numbers range from 1 to 30😊. Choose some random one to see what recipe you have got…The list is already made, so I won’t give you’ll anything random. As  you choose the number, your recipe will open up in the list. Don’t forget your numbers plz!!

The only clue I can give you all is that all the recipes are veg😊 and in case you want to make it non-veg, then there is absolutely no problem

I really want to get 30 participants this time! Let’s do it! BTW IN CASE A PARTICULAR INGREDIENT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR PLACE, PLEASE BE FREE TO SUBSTITUTE:) make YOUR VARIATIONS TO THESE DELICACIES:).

SO GO AHEAD AND CHOOSE AND YOUR RECIPE WILL AND IT WILL APPEAR IN THE LIST! IF BY CHANCE You’ll AREN’T ABLE TO FIND THE RECIPES, PLEASE NOTIFY ME AND I’LL TAKE IT OFF THE LIST. BECAUSE FOR CERTAIN RECIPES I COULDN’T CHECK THE INGREDIENTS!

      2. I don’t get the small brinjal a here , you think it would be ok if I just cut up into smaller pieces ? It’s just eggplant pieces in gravy right ? Or stuffed ?

        Liked by 1 person

      3. They stuff the baighgan but you could try something different. You could Cook the eggplant and make a crust with it, something similar to Kofta and stuff the stuffing I guess

        Liked by 1 person

      4. There is no stuffing I just checked..the pieces would be fine

        Liked by 2 people

      8. A lot of people use grated cheese as opposed to curd cheese. Mozarella will do but feel free to be adventurous! I have seen restaurants with many variations of the poutine. La Poutinerie specializes in Poutine. It’s a way of life. http://www.jaimelapoutine.ca. It’s in French but the pictures should make you hungry!
