Thanx for reading my mind. May be my husband needs some training from you
btw, I missed the Tuesday tip section. I checked the website every hour – yep, I am addicted to showmethecurry.com.Sorry! but no pressure
Thanks!

Hi Kiran,
We usually buy noodles from an Oriental Grocery store. They have a lot of varieties and flavors, we use the egg noodles and the regular ones.Right now we have a brand called ‘Dragon Brand’. Most of the ones we have bought have been good.

I have a very quick and easy version of garlic bread.
1)French bread
2)1 tbsp Butter
3)1 tbsp Olive Oil
4) 3-4 garlic cloves – minced
5)Cheese (optional)
6)Paprika or red chili powder (optional)
In a small bowl, take minced garlic, butter and olive oil and microwave it for only ONE MINUTE, otherwise the garlic will burn. Cut the bread in half (vertically) and put it in a baking tray and put the bread in the boiler. Keep it in there ’till it has some redness on the bread (maybe 1-3 mins) depending on how fast/slow your boiler works. Take it out and brush the butter/ garlic on the warm bread. You can add some cheese on it and put it back for few seconds or sprinkle some red paprika or red chili cut (don’t put it in the oven if you add this) and cut it with bread knife.
This recipe always works and always has great flavor.

By the way, I love your version and will try it next time I make it. I never thought about adding green chilies, but it looks really good. We always love a little kick to our food.
Thanks ladies.

I tried this receipe and it was awesome..the whole loaf of bread was disappeared in no time
However, would like to let you know..that I had some leftover butter from this recipe and thought would be great to reuse it next morning. The butter solidifies after some time and this flavored butter again satisfied our craving for garlic bread..
Great going ladies…you are awesome
Thanks

Hi,
Please let me know the temperature of the oven for toasting the bread and for how long the bread must be in the oven.
Thanks

Hi Pramila,
There are a couple of ways of toasting this bread. You can set your oven temp to 350 F and bake until bread is slightly brown. This gives you a crispy garlic bread. You can also broil on high until the bread is slightly brown. This will give you crispy top with soft bottom. You can also push the toast button on your toaster oven if you have one.

I gave this a shot with a friend and came out well. I added some oregano/Italian bruschetta spice mix that I had and that seemed to be a good complement too

Hi Anuja and Hetal.
me and my wife have been following your recipes from some time now and we absolutely love them.
i had one samll doubt please. i have searched google and it says oregano = ajwain and basil leaves = tulsi patta… is this right ?
thanks
[Reply]
anuja Reply:
April 21st, 2010 at 5:29 am
Hi Nishant,
Oregano – the leaves from the ajwain plant
Basil Leaves – It is tulsi BUT a different variety and NOT the Indian Tulsi
For this recipe, if you can’t find substitutes, I’d suggest skipping these 2 ingredients and the bread will still taste awesome.
Enjoy

Hi Chanda,
It is known as Kalonji in Hindi and used very extensively in Bengali Cooking and pickles. It is part of a spice blend called “Panch Puran”. We only have 2 recipes that we use kalonji in:
Tangy Paneer:

Hi
is it not better to use the long bun and wrap it in aluminium foil and then keep it in oven??
I do it that way and the bread is soft afer baking!
I like it that way!!!

Hi Lavi,
Usually, the garlic bread have a crunch and are toasted, but if you prefer them soft, wrapping is the best way to go
[Reply]
June 21st, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Hi anuja, hetal
Just curious – why did you apply the mixture only on one side of the bread? To keep it mild and not too garlicy?
Thanks!
