       This dish is named Navratan Korma as it contains 9 different, pretty and flavorful components. The gravy itself is pale so as to allow "9 gems" to stand out.

Enchilada Cups

     So today, I'm sharing a new one- Enchilada Cups.. Super easy and delicious recipe ever.. I decided to experiment and see if I could transfer of bag of white corn tortillas into a pan of little baked tortilla "cups".. Turns out, they worked like a charm!! I just poked the tortillas into standard size muffin cups, and then baked them up until crispy.. Then I whipped up a simple enchilada filling mixture.. Then I filled cups with the mixture.. .. and topped them each with the cheese, and then baked the cups until everything was warmed through and melty.. Then once they were cooked up, I topped them with some cilantro and green onions and guess what?---They were ready to go..!

   So cute, eh? And even more fun, so easy to eat.. no fork needed. ;)
