Tomato Souffle
This month Sweet Punch challenge was either sweet or savory. So I opted for Savory punch because there was so many sweets flowing around my kitchen. The few changes I made to the recipe was, I added shredded Zucchini, Salt & Red chilli flakes. The souffle was so delicious and we relished with Tomato Corn Relish. Hope you all enjoy my visual treat.

8.Sprinkle the grated cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven (350 f) for 20- 25 mins or until lightly browned. Serves 4.
Healthier version: Use brown bread crumbs & low fat milk. Also use yolks of only 2 eggs & white of 3 eggs. Use only lesser qty of butter, I used only 15 gms of butter.
Notes:
1.The above qty serves 2 adults (main course) served with garlic bread or soup. You can use any oven safe dish to prepare this. The consistency of this dish is more like a pudding.

Amazing pic and a tempting looking dish...love ur blog pavi..u come up with such amazing dishes each time.
New recipe and lovely pictures.
Sometimes I think whether the chefs choose recipes like what happened to Newton. They tend to prepare sambar and it ends in something different and call it a new recipe Samo-ka-Bar ;)
I am sure that I cant trust their recipes. However, I can trust your's as these are the tested dishes from your kitchen :)
Speaking about the chefs I remember when we had a new dish called chicken aliqueue from a nearby hotel called NM food court. The chicken was stuffed with vegetables and sealed. It had many decorations using vegetables. The chef prepared it for the first time and came to know our opinion being the first to taste it.
We all replied that it is fine. However, Jk in the group said to the chef "Please for god sake, don't prepare such recipes in future". We all started laughing like anything. We never saw that recipe in their menu list after that. :)
Lovely clicks, Pavithra. And a beautiful souffle.
oh wow!!! beautiful clicks...yummy preparation...
