Easy Microwave version Potato chips |BM#18

We had variety rice for dinner and did not have any chips in hand to eat with it.
I then thought of making potato chips in Microwave and see how it turns out. They were cooked with in minutes and turned out amazing. The chips was really crisp and tasted really nice.
It is one of the most simplest dish i have ever done i think. But it is  really worth a try.

Ingredients
1 Potato
Little salt to sprinkle
1 tea spoon oil

Method
Thinly slice the potato. Sprinkle some salt and spray the oil on top or just spread the oil over the potato.
Cook in a microwave plate on high for about 4-5 minutes until they are crisp and light brown in color.

7 Taste Utthappam|Mini Bites|BM#6

4th day of Blogging Marathon and was wondering what can i do today being a weekend.
Then suddenly was reminded of Saravana Bhavan's 7 taste utthappam. Just thought why don't i give it a try at home? Eventhough there are no kids to eat at my home. I just have an infant who has just started eating semi solids. But i thought of making them for my husband and me.
I am also sure all the kids will love and surely fit the theme Mini Bites.
Here goes the recipe. You can opt for any toppings you like. My toppings for 7 taste were,
Topping 1-> 1 tsp Tomato Chutney
Topping 2->1 tsp Corainder chutney
Topping 3->1 tsp Rasberry Jam
Topping 4->1 tsp Potato masala
Topping 5->1 tsp idli Chilli powder (Mulagai podi)
Topping 6->1 tsp onion and capsicum
Topping 7->1 small piece of cheese
Dosa batter 1-2 cup

Method: Make small size dosas and keep them in the plate. Spread each of topping one by one on every dosa. Only for Onion ,bell peppers,Chilli powder and cheese utthappam put the topping on the stove while making dosa. Serve hot for kids or adults they will love them.
Notes: Some might not like Jam. You can choose any other topping like white Coconut chutney.
