I continually endeavor to develop nutritious recipes that are not only delicious but also easy to prepare and serve. In essence, I aim to create dishes that appeal to both children and adults. The recipe for Easy Proti Snack meets all these criteria and is a snack I frequently prepare for our family snack time or serve for brunch on weekends.
Easy Proti Snack ensures a dose of nutrients like Protein from Rajma, Fiber from Vegetables, Calcium from Butter & Cheese and ample of energy in the form of Carbohydrates from Rotis.

🍓🍓 are in season and the first dessert I made using them is this gorgeous, melt in the mouth Strawberry Cheesecake Swiss Roll
Baked a Swiss Roll after sooo long ... glad I managed to pull it off well. The basic Swiss Roll batter I know is quite tedious to make and the whole art of rolling, wrapping and cooling a Swiss Roll, one learns from a trial or two.
Ofcourse now I see a lot of easy batter recipes but I stuck to the one we were taught ..using an egg be**er, over a double boiler..one that needs continuous beating and uses granulated sugar. A challenging process that yields a good result is a morale boost and shows I haven't lost my touch :)
The recipe has 3 parts the cake sheet, homemade strawberry preserve and cream cheese.
DM me for recipe if you would like to try.
Also let me know if you have ever had a Swiss Roll?
