     Pizza....          Who doesn't love Pizzas... Ya, I do agree its a very healthy option. But its OK to indulge sometimes and enjoy the warm golden crusted freshly baked pizza with toppings of your choice... and to top it pizza crust is stuffed with cheese,,, more cheese...This unique thin crust pizza has a ring of cheese baked into the edge , so that you can enjoy cheese in every last bite of the slice.        Neil demanded me to make a Yummy Yummy Pizza for him..

And there are times when he wont agree to anything I say, he will be stubborn without any re...

Chilli Cheese Corn Toast

Image
                      One of the most simple and delicious appetisers to be served along with soup or just to be served as snacks is Chilli Cheese toast. Its so simple and easy to make, it can be fixed at last moment even when surprise guest drop in. Just any kind of bread would do, be it brown bread slices or baguette or even lad pav bread cut into two halves..The capsicum isn't fully cooked in this recipe. It still retains some crunch. if you prefer your capsicum completely cooked, I suggest you saute the chopped capsicum with some oil for few min on a skillet and then top on the bread.             It is an open sandwich which is topped with some capcisum, sweet corn, garlic and cheese and popped in oven. This recipe can be a good project to cook along with your toddler, who can help you place all the toppings on the t...

Rose buns

Image
Although our sense of taste and sight are two different senses, we form our first impression when we have a first glance of our food. Its almost like saying we first eat with our eyes, then with our nose and then with our mouth..To our brains “taste” is actually a fusion of food's looks, smell, touch and taste.                 These buns will entice your eyes with beautiful rose shapes, you can smell the fresh bread being baked in your house right till the street out of your home. Finally when you bite these buns, you will feel teh soft buns melting in your mouth.           We all love dinner rolls, figure of 8 rolls, round buns and all sorts of soft bread to go along with our entree. I wanted to try something new. So came up with the idea of Rose Buns. When we used to make basic felt flowers in school, this technique was used. Making four or more circles an...

Steamed Vegetable Baozi

                    When we were in USA, I had gone with my cute nephew to four day Los Angeles tour. This tour was managed by Chinese people. So the crowd was Chinese, with just two of us Indians. We were served Chinese breakfast in the hotels were we stayed. One dish that was common for breakfast was snow white buns kept fresh in large bamboo steamers. Everyone used to have it, we were apprehensive and didn’t know how to eat it, so we didn’t try it. Later I realized they were Mantou- Chinese steamed buns.                            There was a nice Chinese shop near our home from where we got seafood. This place had Chinese bakery attached to it. There was a large collection of Chinese buns, Some were baked ans some were steamed. We t...
