Today’s post is pretty special to me. It’s a challenge, my first Daring Cook Challenge! When I saw the email from DK mentioning that my blog got approved to participate, I was super thrilled. Immediately, I jumped there to see the month’s challenge and I laughed out loud. This month’s challenge is to make savory edible containers and fill it with something appropriate. If only the mail would have come just a day before.. I had just posted my Tortilla Cups recipe 🙂 You got it.. right ?! 😀

Anyways, this was challenging as well as interesting. I didn’t want to make the same thing again and most importantly, I wanted to make the cup from scratch. After cracking my head a lot and talking to my friend Deepa, I came up with this recipe. It’s pretty simple and you can use the dough to make savory, crunchy cookies too! Deepa uses similar ingredients to make her savory cookies and that’s how we thought of trying the same dough for cups, and it worked!

Renata of Testado, Provado & Aprovado! was our Daring Cooks’ April 2011 hostess. Renata challenged us to think “outside the plate” and create our own edible containers! Prizes are being awarded to the most creative edible container and filling, so vote on your favorite from April 17th to May 16th at http://thedaringkitchen.com!
