15 minute cooking @Spices etc.....

Do you have as little as 15 minutes to whip up something on a busy day? Join me in my kitchen and share your jiffy recipes! They can be anything from appetizers to desserts. A few examples of 15 minute recipes are milkshakes, sandwiches, salads, chutneys(thogayal), rotis, dhals(kootu), upma, kheer, dosas, microwave recipes etc. You can also send semi-homemade dishes. The aim of this event is to learn, share and store a collection of quick recipes(from different parts of India) in one place!

Here are the guidelines for the event:

Prepare any vegetarian dish(no eggs please) that will take no more than 15 minutes.
Post it in your blog between today and May 20th. There is no limit on the number of entries.
Link back to this announcement. Feel free to use the logo.
If you have already posted some quick recipes, make a fresh post along with this link.
If you don't have a blog, email me your recipes.

Email spicesetc@gmail.com with the following details on or before May 20th(9 PM PST).
1. Blog Name
2. Dish name and the URL
3. Picture of the dish(300 px wide)
4. Rename the picture to dish name.

The round up will be posted by May 31st.

I am expecting good response from you all :)

The time required to do advance preparation like soaking, grinding, fermenting, chopping veggies is not counted. But I would still prefer recipes that will take only 15 minutes from start to end.
