Chocolate Chunks Muffins.. Muffins are very versatile you can keep on changing or adding the ingredients and they taste better every time. I have never baked the muffins by following the same recipe I keep the measurement same and change the ingredients each time I bake. Last week I bought a pack of chocolate chunks cookies from pound land and from there only I got this name idea and I wanted to add the cookies also in the muffins but unfortunately they were no cookies left, then I decided to save that recipe for one more day and just do with chocolate and cinnamon... I have added the dairymilk chocolate but I felt it was better if I would have added some other chocolate. No problem I will leave it to you all to choose from your favourite chocolate and enjoy this muffins for breakfast.

Omelette And Cheese Roll..

Omelette And Cheese Roll.. I'm not a big fan of cheese rolls, chicken rolls, egg rolls or any street food. It is not like I don't eat, I eat if there is no other option or someone else is eating and after seeing them if I can't control... Nowadays I'm trying out different types of breakfast with simple ingredients which is available easily at home. As my H leaves to office early morning by eating simple breakfast and I don't get a change to try out different dishes except on weekends. So I thought why don't I give a change to myself for eating good and different types of breakfast, in that way I'm happy and my H is also happy that I eat food... Sometime I don't even bother to take pictures after seeing the dish I feel so hungry I start eating there only... This is quick and simple rolls which kids and adults also can enjoy as breakfast or even as a snacks.


Ingredient's.
2 chapati (Roti)
1 egg
1 small onion, 1 green chilli (finely chopped)
Pinch of black pepper powder
2tbsp grated cheese
Salt to taste
2tsp oil.



Cooking Method.
Make a omelette by adding egg, onion, green chilli, pepper powder and salt. with 1tsp of oil and set it aside.
In a same frying pan, just heat both the chapati and divide the omelette into 2 position and keep it on the chapati and sprinkle grated cheese on both the chapati and roll it tightly.


Now again in the same pan, add the leftover oil and place the rolls and cook till the cheese is melted, That will take about 1 to 2 minutes. Take out from the pan and serve immediately.
