Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients like maida, eggs, and onions are everyday items easily found at your local kirana store. Mozzarella and ham are widely available in the refrigerated sections of supermarkets or specialty cold-storage shops. Dried oregano can be picked up from the spice aisle or the international food section of most grocery retailers.
Preparation method
- Combine the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in your blender jar
- Pulse or blend everything until you have a smooth, thin, and consistent batter
- Lightly grease your baking tin with a little butter or oil
- Pour roughly half of the batter into the prepared tin, spreading it to cover the bottom
- Evenly scatter the chopped mozzarella, ham, tomatoes, and onion over the layer of batter
- Pour the remaining batter over the top, making sure the filling is completely covered
- Finish by scattering the grated cheese and a pinch of dried oregano over the top
- Slide the tin into a preheated oven
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is set and has turned a lovely golden brown
