Are you ready for this weekend? The Champions Trophy Finale is on June the 18th. The semi-finals between England vs Pakistan and India vs Bangladesh are going to be nail-biting experience for all the Cricket lovers, that are going to be played in Sophia Gardens and Edgbaston respectively. Whichever 2 teams win the semi-finals, will play the Champions Trophy Final on 18th June at Kennington Oval, London. Check out the schedule here .

I was a State Level Field Hockey Player, during my college days. Being a sports person myself, I can totally relate the hype, the energy, the mania, the restlessness, the excitement that a match brings, not only to the players but also to the supporters.

We all have played cricket or street cricket in India, while growing up. I did too. But if you ask me – how was I as a cricket player, then man….I would rather not comment. 😊. I sucked at it big time. Whenever I did batting, I would toss the ball so high, that we would either get catch out or the ball will end up in an old bank building behind the lane, which was always locked. I can’t remember how many times the kids didn’t want me on their team because of that. I didn’t improve. On the other hand, I played the badminton so well that they would often comment during the cricket match that – “Sonal, play like it is cricket and not badminton”.. 😉. Good Old days!

Well, I don’t play cricket anymore but I still try to catch up whenever I can. Thanks to Willow TV in America for that. The Champions Trophy definitely has grasped my interest tight this time. Meanwhile, as you indulge in the ongoing semi-finals, I will make sure that I keep tossing some good snacks at you like this Spicy Mexican Poppers with Taj Mahal Chai, to keep you and your guests entertained throughout the semi finals and finals.

Ingredients

Ingredients for Poppers

Mini Bell Peppers – 10 washed
Salsa – ½ cup. Use medium or hot.
Cheese shredded – ½ cup. Use low fat if desired.
Black beans canned – ¼ cup, rinsed.
Corn Kernels – ¼ cup canned or thawed from frozen
Jalapeno – 1 tbsp finely chopped. Use pickled or fresh

Ingredients for Taj Mahal Chai

Water – 4 cups
Milk – ¼ cup
Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea Bags – 2 to 3 as strong or light as desired
Sugar or sweetener to taste

Instructions

Preheat the Oven at 400*F. Get a baking tray ready by greasing it lightly.
Take the mini bell peppers. Cut them into halves, lengthwise, so that you have 2 flat halves that can easily rest on baking tray. You will have 20 bell peppers halves.
Take a bowl. Add black beans, corn, salsa, jalapenos and ¼ cup shredded cheese to it. Mix well.
Now take a bell pepper half. Fill it up with the salsa mixture. Sprinkle little bit more cheese on top and put it on the baking tray. Finish all the bell peppers likewise.
Now bake these Spicy Mexican Poppers for 8 to 10 minutes till the cheese melts. We do not want to over bake it or else the bell peppers will be too soft to handle. The bell peppers still need a crisp bite.
Take these out and serve these hot immediately.

Instructions for Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Chai

Boil 4 cups of water and ¼ cup of milk in a sauce pan.
Once it comes to a boil, add the tea bags. Switch off the heat. Cover and let steep for 2 minutes.
Remove the tea bags. Pour the tea in tea cups. Add sugar or sweetener of your choice (if desired).
