Bread Pizza - Answer to impatient hungry tummies

-
A weeknight early dinner idea which struck me as I was having some friends visit me midweek.. I needed something filling & healthy & veggie & less-time-consuming & tasty....

Well its like searching for a perfect bride or groom which takes forever.. But.. thanks to our aunty.. I got the idea of making pizza topping on a bread and baking it to crispy perfectness of snack... Paired with hot tea, this was a perfect light snack for all of us... which kind of took us through dinner too.. :)




Here's what I used..

  • 6 slices of white bread (brown will be fine too, I think, haven't tried though)
  • 3/4 of one green bell pepper chopped very fine
  • 1/4 of a medium onion chopped very fine
  • 1 celery stalk chopped very fine
  • 8 - 10 olives chopped very fine
  • 6-7 springs of green coriander leaves chopped very fine
  • Grated cheese as needed (I used Mozzarella)
  • Tomato ketchup as needed
  • Salt + Black Pepper powder

Process

  • Pre-heat oven to 375 F. Mine is a conventional oven which runs on gas. 
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (If no paper, use a oil spray, just to make sure that the breads do not stick to the pan)
  • Mix the veggies + salt + pepper in a bowl
  • Place the bread slices on the baking sheet
  • Smear tomato ketchup on all slices (As little or as much as you want)
  • Next goes in one light layer of cheese
  • Then spread a layer of veggies
  • Followed by another layer of cheese (light layer)
  • Thats it... Bake on 375 F for 15 mins and done..

Enjoy hot hot bread pizza with tea or even milk-shake will make it so much better !! It was powerful and took us all through dinner too.. :) Hope you like it.

Gluten Free Almond Flour Mango Cake

 Here's my take on the Gluten Free mango Cake.... There's not a story behind it other than the fact that I am trying to reduce sugar & gluten in my diet due to the health reasons & this cake gave me everything that I need for those late evening sweet cravings without feeling guilty or sad or having to plan extra time on the treadmill the next day.  This cake is made from almond flour so it's on the denser side & not entirely fluffy BUT it is soft & makes for an awesome tea time accompaniment.  Here's what I used... Wet ingredients 1 cup mango puree 3 eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or butter) Dry ingredients 2.5 cups of Almond flour 2 tsp baking powder Process First mix all the wet ingredients in a clean bowl using a wire whisk Then add in the baking powder & almond flour Mix nicely using a spatula - DO NOT USE Wire whisk  Transfer the contents to a greased 10 inch round cake tin Bake until tooth-pick comes out clean on 325 F for ab

 Since the last few days, I have been binge watching YouTube videos of some Odiya Vloggers in the US. There are some really entertaining folks who sing & dance & go about their lives while sharing ups & downs with us (their subscribers). Sometimes they get too personal but it's the age of Social Media so I guess that is perfectly fine if the creator is OK with that. These folks that I watch are mostly girls ..Actually they are all girls.. hmm.. time for me to expand the scope a bit?? may be !!.  Anyways, one of the girls, lives in the eastern part of US & has a HUGE Odiya friends circle who meet almost every week for a party or picnic or potluck and she makes these yummy (almost) contemporary style Odiya food recipes that it makes me want to go back to the east coast & make her my sister. Yes, I used to live there & the first chance I got I left because of the harsh winters. I just could not bear the mere thought of getting up at 7am in the morning & spe

Chicken Besara

We odiyas have grown up with the idea of mustard paste being added to cook fish & shrimp & veggies.. but never ever had I imagined that I could use the same concept (little tricked & changed of course to fit the bill) for chicken too.. It was a fine Saturday mid-day when the craving of having something non-veg spicy came into my mind (errrr.. my stomach..) .. The freezer had some chicken drummets from store.. which were shrieking out to be used... And just a few days back.. I had seen a post somewhere about using mustard paste with chicken gravy.. I thought I should totally try it... This was new to me..and I must confess the gravy was a super hit... we ate double the amount of white rice .. and saved some for later too.. Everyone who loves chicken and mustard paste should totally try this.. and Enjoy with white fluffy rice.. :) What I used Around 1.5 Lbs of chicken drummets (small chicken legs) 2 table spoons of black & yellow mustard seeds 1 table spoon o
