Recipe for a quiche or a pie or a food thing....


 Warning- well nothing in particular....... just be warned.

Step 1: Making the crust (if you are in a hurry and want to make a meal with one less component, this is optional. As you can eat the filling without a crust but not a crust without the filling)

  • Mix ice (were you expecting that?), one cup of atta/ ragi, bajra, and atta mix/ white flour should work too, and solid cubes of butter. You may find the idea of mixing three solid items to make a dough unpleasant, but trust me it's easier than staring at the fridge for two hours later, waiting for it to cool.
  • Now roll it out the best you can. 
  • After rolling it out the fifth time, mine still had holes. So after placing it in the tin I patched it with some extra dough. After all, we can only do our best.
  • NOTE- please oil the tin before putting the rolled out dough in, unless you plan on digging it out with your teeth.
  • Bake in convection at 180 for 25 minutes. Well.....more or less.
Step 2: White sauce/ paste thing ( This isn't particularly optional)
  • Melt as much butter makes you happy in a pan at low flame ( yes, much too my surprise, butter burns)
  • Now chuck in half a cup of whatever flour you have.
  • When you start to panic that your flour is burning, put some water.
  • Keep adding water and stirring (despite the scary sound the water makes when it hits the pan) till the mixture is a thick sauce.
  • Put salt to taste. (DONT burn your tongue)
  • And don't forget to put milk in at some point.
Step 3: At this point, I was kind of tired.
So I simply chopped some onions, tomatoes, and a ton of cheese.
Extremely IMPORTANT VITAL NOTE- soak onions way before, to avoid a lot of pain in life.
NOTE part 2- peel and cut the onion in half before soaking.
NOTE part 3- the peel is a really thin layer. So don't peel away half the onion, like I did.

Step 4: Check your crust by poking it and nibbling at the corner (this is not recommended if the quiche is to be served to guests. Use more professional methods to check, in that case)
Now pour the sauce
Then the onions, tomatoes, and the cheese
And finally, for some reason, a whisked egg over the top.

Bake in convection (with conviction) at 180 for 20 minutes.... or till whenever feels right.

    2. Let's keep it a secret that I did pretty much this same process at 25 when I made my first quiche-thingamajig. Top secret, okay? Its not like this ks on the interwebz or anything.

      But also, you're a comedic genius 😘
