Methi rajma pasta quiche is the bombardment of flavors. This is my third entry to the contest of spicetrail. Here I have used SPRIG Genoa multipurpose spice blend.Quiche is a savory pastry pie made usually with egg, milk and as I am an eggless baker, this trial is also without egg. Quiche has its origin from France (Wiki) and later it spread across many countries with variations. There are infinite variations in savory pie filling. Well my next hero of this dish is pasta, this has its origin from Italy and it’s found in many shapes, size, and flavors. In this recipe I have concoction of quiche, with pasta filling flavored with Italian spice, and finally with Indian touch of adding methi, rajma.
I will surely try this.
Love the idea! :) What is the rationale behind blank baking with rice? This is the first time I have come across anything like this!
Take a bowl, add all purpose flour, salt, shredded cold butter, sprig multipurpose spice.
Rub the mixture gently with fingers so that they form breadcrumbs like structure.
Add little cold water and bring the mixture together to form stiff dough.
Cling wrap the dough and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Prepare the pie mould by greasing with oil or line with aluminum foil if the mould base is not detachable.
After 10 minutes, roll out the dough into 1/5 inch thick sheet.
Place this on pie mould, press the sides with thumb and randomly pierce with fork. Refrigerate this pie mould for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven at 200℃ for 10 minutes.
After 20 minutes of refrigeration, take the crust, place a parchment paper on surface and spread raw rice on this. Blank bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove rice and grill for 2 minutes to get golden crust.
Cool this crust with mould for 30 to 45 minutes.
Filling:
Prepare a paste of corn flour and milk. Keep this aside for further use.
Take a pan, heat olive oil. Add onion and fry well.
Now add garlic and saute well.
To this add tomato and fry well until its soft.
Add chopped methi leaves and fry well.
Now add cooked rajma and mix
Add the corn flour and milk paste, cooked pasta water and mix well until it thickens.
Now add Sprig genoa multipurpose spice blend, mix well.
Add red chili powder and mix.
Add cooked pasta, little salt and mix.
Add the roasted peanut powder and mix.
Cook the entire pasta mixture for one minute and cool this for further use.
Preheat the oven at 180℃ for 10 minutes. Take the cooled crust with the mould, fill the pasta mixture tightly
Next layer the top with shredded cheese. Sprinkle olive oil on top of cheese.
Bake in preheated oven at 180℃ for 40 minutes with last two minutes increase the temperature to 200℃ and grill the quiche to get light golden layer.
Remove from oven, slice and serve hot or warm.
