As I went about setting up this Easy Vegetarian Casserole the beauty of the dish stuck me. A casserole is a one-pot meal from oven to table! A simple dish that needs no fussing around something you pop in the oven and forget about till its time to get it out. Make it in advance for those busy weeknights or for lazy weekends. The best part is its a clean up the pantry and fridge operation with everyone enjoys. Honestly, my father-in-law set aside hs chapati and rice and ate this vegetarian casserole. I will not call this dish as healthy thanks to the amount of cheese in it. What is the use of winter if you cannot indulge in some rich dishes? If you to want to try some recipes different, tasty and generally nutritious do follow me. I do slip up occasionally and make indulgent food that is much appreciated too.

The event for which I am posting this recipe is Shhh Secretly Cooking. The theme for the challenge is HotPots and our hostess is Priya Iyer do check her One-Pot Kale Khicidi is our hostess has set us to hunt for hotpot dishes.
Following the theme challenge, I am paired with Kalyani of Sizzling Tastebuds. Now Kalyani gave me chilli flakes and garlic as my secret ingredients. I gave her coconut milk and ginger and she surprised me with an amazingly delicious soup here.
Asian cooking has lots of hot pots and I made one too. However, I wanted to try something out of my comfort zone. Kalyani who is my partner was kind enough to guide me with different options, not just Asian. Hence I made 2 dishes with my ingredients one of them is this Casserole but I did not want to post. However, my Bhabhi who tried the recipe insisted I post it. So here goes…
Let’s get to basics:
For me, a casserole meant till the last few years something in which I store food to keep it warm. So imagine my surprise when in a forum someone shared his casserole pictures.
So a Casserole is also a deep dish or bowl generally has a glass lid and is used to bake in the oven. The food cooked in this pan is also referred to as a casserole. The advantage of this is you can cook and serve from the same pan.
People have baked for ages the current form of casserole is since light metals containers and glassware started being used in cooking. If you do not have a casserole dish or a baking dish use a pan that can be used in the oven, a mould in which you bake. If you have an oven-proof dutch oven go ahead and make the casserole.
Casseroles are popular in other cuisines, not just the American cuisine examples are Moussaka, shepherd’s pie. Do you know that lasagna is an example of casserole? The other names for Casserole are goulash, hash, pottage, stew, covered dish, meat pie, pot pie, stroganoff.
A casserole is not just about lunch or dinner you have baked French Toasts as breakfast and crumbles and bread pudding as desserts.
Let’s be very honest making a casserole is new to me. Even if I have made bread puddings, lasagna, stews I have blindly followed the recipe with a few normal tweaks. Understanding the logic behind why I should do something is what I love to know. So, be ready for long-winded whys and wherefore… Of course, you can skip it all and just jump to the recipe.
Okay let’s check the recipe now…
