i am very fond of making sizzlers at home and it is the easiest way to make my son eat almost anything. all i need to do is get a little creative and serve the most humble stuff on a sizzler plate. sizzler plate suddenly acts like a throne and gives an aura of exoticness to the regular meal. not that i do not make the 'authentic' sizzlers. but come to think of it, a sizzler is actually a meal served on a hot tava so that the food remains hot throughout. and a tray underneath makes it convenient. whoever thought of it thought well:)
i make sizzlers with almost everything. the most important ingredient is the 'sizzler plate!' usually i place a combination of cutlets, pasta, french fries, tossed tofu and veggies. but many a times i even serve the simple dal-chawal on a sizzler plate. jeera rice, dal tadka and seasonal vegetable all arranged beautifully on the plate with french fries and onion shavings take no time to vanish. sizzling bhaji and pav with loads of butter is Nakshat's favourite. hakka noodles with manchurian and some veggies and tofu makes a very pretty sizzler. sometimes my sizzler plate also serves as the serving plate on which i serve the full family meal: noodles, cutlets and veggies; a combination that we love to eat with toast. actually anything served on the hot platter and topped with butter & vinegar to make that tempting noise is a sizzler with me!
