INGREDIENTS FOR THE FILLING:

5. 1 tsp flour

Shred your cooked chicken. (I realized that shredded chicken or very small pieces work much better)

1. In a pan add butter, onions and mushrooms(finely chopped)
2. Sauté them for 2-3 minutes.
3. Now add garlic paste and mix well for a minute.
4. Now add flour. Mix well again.

Home made mango ice cream

Hey everyone!!!!!!
I hope you all are doing well! So today I'm going to share with you the most easy mango ice cream you can make at home and that too only using 3 ingredients! I mean it can't get more easier! So let's get started!

INGREDIENTS:

1. 200 grams of cold whipping cream (I used the one with 40% fat)
2. 100 grams of condensed milk
3. 1 medium sized mango (mashed)/ canned mango
4. Yellow food color (optional)

NOTE: You can double or triple the recipe by using the same ratio of cream and condensed milk. 

METHOD:

After adding condensed milk

After adding mangoes and color

1. Place your cream and the hooks of the electric beater in the freezer for 40 minutes.
2. Use a bigger bowl to place some ice cubes, to form a water bath for whipping the cream, below the original bowl of cream.
3. Beat your cream on high until stiff peaks form. (7-8 minutes for me)
4. Now fold in your refrigerated condensed milk and mashed mango.
5. You can add food color if you desire. 
6. Now place this mixture in an airtight plastic container. 
7. Freeze your container for 8-10 hours, take it out and mix it with a spoon, scraping off the sides after the first and second hour to avoid any crystal formation.
8. If after 8 hours it is hard, let it stand for 5 minutes then scoop out your ice cream.

TIPS:

1. If you want other flavors of ice cream, simply replace mangoes with nutella or strawberries or ground oreos. The list is endless!
2. The sweetness of the ice cream will also depend on how sweet your mangoes are so before freezing check on the sweetness. 
3. There are other easy recipes for icecream, in a blender or on a stove. If you want me to post them please write in the comments section below! :)
4. You can add vanilla extract to your icecream if you want that flavor.

Microwave funfetti cake

Hi! I hope you all are well! So today I'd like to share my favorite microwave cake recipe ever!!!! Like seriously, this tastes amazing everytime! I have tried literally hundreds of recipes and half of them were a disaster! Since I'm such a lover of anything sweet and I can crave it at any hour of the day, I resort to this recipe a lot of times! Only because it just takes 3 minutes to Assemble and cook! Also this cake is not rubbery and you can make this recipe in a large mug too! So without further ado let's get started!!

INGREDIENTS:

1. 5 tbsp flour (leveled)
2. 2 tbsp melted butter
3. 1/4th cup sugar (powdered will give you better results)
4. 1/8 tsp baking powder
5. 1/8 of a tsp baking soda
6. 2 tbsp milk
7. Pinch of salt
8. 1 tsp sprinkles
9. 1 medium sized egg

METHOD:

1. Take a microwave safe glass/plastic bowl or a large coffee mug.
2. Mix all your ingredients by a spoon.
3. Clean the sides.
4. Place it in the microwave on the highest setting, cook it for 30 seconds then again 30 seconds. 
5. My cake took about 1.5 minutes but it varies with the power of a microwave and the width of the bowl.
6. Take a tooth pick and insert inside your cake, if it comes out clean, it's done.
7. Serve hot with icecream or whipped cream or just sprinkles on top! :D

Microwave macaroni n cheese

Hi everyone!
I hope you all are fine! So this week i was soo busy but I decided to post my go-to recipe for each time I'm craving something cheesy and I don't want to really work hard for it. Yes! It's a Mac n cheese in a microwave. I do agree that I do not boil my Mac in the microwave but this time I did that too for this recipe to be a completely "microwaved" one!
Also this is best for hostelites or making in an office setting with a few ingredients on hand. So let's dig right into this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

1. Macaroni- elbow or any small shape (should be filling 1/3rd of your cup)
2. Water for boiling
3. 1.5-2 slices of GOOD quality cheddar/mozzarella cheese OR shredded sharp cheddar.
4. 1 tbsp cream
5. 2 tbsp milk
6. Salt to taste (minimal)
7. Red chilli flakes
8. Black pepper powder
9. Mixed herbs/thyme/oregano
10. Left over chicken/ pepperoni (optional)
11. Olives (optional)
12. A microwave safe mug

NOTE: IF you don't have red chilli flakes or cream or herbs, that will work just fine because traditional mac n cheese does not include these but it's kind of bland for my liking. Also you can add ANYTHING that you desire, even left over mashed potatoes would be amazing as a side to this recipe! 

METHOD:

1. Set your microwave, on the highest setting.
2. In your mug, add your macaroni. I used penne Mac, which were too long. The smaller it is, the lesser time it will consume to cook.
3. Fill in water, half an inch above the level of the macaroni. (Otherwise it will bubble up and spill)
4. Place it in your microwave, taking out after every 40 seconds, so that the water does not spill. It will take 3-5 minutes to cook. (Mine were longer, maybe that is why)
5. Now drain excess water.
6. Add cream, milk, chopped cheese, spices and chicken to your macaroni and place it back in the microwave.
7. Cook for 2 minutes or more until the cheese is melted.
8. Add more dried herbs on top.
9. Serve hot or cold, in a plate or a mug.

NOTE: Every microwave has different power, the higher the watts the quicker it will cook. So check your cooking time accordingly, by slicing the Mac with a fork.

Nutella mousse dessert

Hi everyone!!
Hope you're all doing well! So today I was craving for nutella mousse and because the recipe only calls for two ingredients, i was really motivated, later I went into a fancy mode and actually made a dessert out of it!

INGREDIENTS:

1. 200 grams of whipping cream or any cream with 40% fat.
2. 100 grams nutella (or more if you like)
3. Marrie biscuits or Graham crackers or digestive biscuits or oreos
4. 2 tsp of melted butter
5. Sliced bananas or strawberries
6. Chocolate syrup (optional)
7. Coffee- for sprinkling on top (optional)

METHOD FOR WHIPPING CREAM:

1. Place your cream in the freezer, an hour before whipping.
2. Make a water bath, in a bowl add ice cubes and a little water and over it, place a smaller bowl in which the cream is going to be whipped. For maintaining the temperature.
3. With an electric beater, whip your cream on a lower setting for first 2 minutes, then on the highest setting later till stiff peaks form. This took me 8 minutes.
4. DON'T over whip otherwise the cream will separate into butter.

METHOD FOR MAKING THE DESSERT:

1. If you are making the dessert cups then takeout 1/3rd of the cream in a piping bag and place it in the fridge.
2. In the remaining cream, still in the water bath, gently fold your nutella(kept at room temperature)
3. Mash your biscuits and mix the melted butter in them
4. In small glasses or bowls, place the biscuit first, then plain cream, then nutella mousse, then again some cream. (You can use any order, you can completely miss out on whipped cream too, your can add powdered sugar to your whipped cream too)
5. Slide in slices bananas or strawberries around your serving glass or bowl. You can optionally drizzle some chocolate sauce too!
6. Refrigerate these classes for at least 2-3 hours before serving or freeze for 1 hour.
