Exam season has led us to having an unprecedented amount of stress and worry. Amidst it, the only thing that can make us happy is food.
While cramming up the syllabus through the dead of the night, you are ought to feel hungry. So, here are a few recipes that may help you calm your 3 AM cravings.
- Roasted Paneer Sandwich
If you are hungry and have absolutely no time to order or cook something fancy, but want to eat something different, then this is the dish for you. First, slice up the Paneer. Then, put some butter on the pan, kept over a burner, and as it melts, put the slices on it. Roast them until it starts turning light to dark brown. Then, take two slices of bread. Toast them if you like or just heat them a little over the pan (as you prefer). If you have any mayo then apply a little on both the slices of bread or you can just apply a little butter. Place the paneer between the slices and voila! Your roasted paneer sandwich is ready. Enjoy it with a glass of milk or juice.
- Pizza
If you have left-over rotis, along with ketchup, salt, pepper, onion, garlic, and of course cheese and oregano at your home then you can make a pizza within 15 minutes. Add 1tsp of onion paste and ½ tsp of garlic paste in 1 cup of ketchup and then add salt, pepper, and oregano as per your taste. Take the left-over roti and apply this sauce over it. Then, put the cheese over the sauce. Next, take a pan and grease it with butter thoroughly. Put the Roti on the pan and cover it with a lid. Don’t forget to cook it on medium flame. Now, wait for 10 minutes. After this, remove the roti. Put oregano and chili flakes as per your taste and enjoy your perfect mini pizza, made in less than 15 minutes.
- Hot Chocolate
Well traditionally you would require unsweetened cocoa and full cream milk but don’t worry if you don’t have these. You can still enjoy your drink. First, take out any milk chocolate like dairy milk (if you like dark chocolate, you can use that too) and put it in a small bowl. Next, melt it properly. Now, take a saucepan and warm up a cup of milk. Add the melted chocolate to it. After 2-3 minutes, remove the milk and enjoy your perfect cup of hot chocolate.
- Cereals
If you are in rush and have absolutely no time to waste then this is the best option. Take a bowl of milk, hot or cold (as you prefer). Add any cereals like cornflakes or chocos. Add a spoon of sugar if you prefer it sweet and you are ready to pull an all-nighter with your perfect bowl of cereals.
- Mug cake
If you are craving for something sweet then this is the dish for you. Take ¼ cup all-purpose flour (maida), ¼ cup sugar (add as per your taste), 2 tablespoons (you can add a little more as per your taste) of melted milk or dark chocolate, or any chocolate spread (any flavored spread that you prefer), pinch of baking soda (or Eno), pinch of salt, 3 tablespoons milk, 2 tablespoons of any refined vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon water. Mix all these ingredients in a bowl, until there are no lumps (use whisker to mix) and pour them in a mug. Microwave it for about 1 minute and 45 seconds. Take it out and there you have your mug cake ready.
