Bread Pizza

We have been self-confined to our houses for the last whole week because of the Swine flu scare in Pune. Used to the usual hectic schedule of school and various activities the first two days were bliss but the third day onwards I had to rack my brain and be creative to keep Rutika busy. Saturday and Sunday are a relief because D is at home and so they have been playing bat and ball and carrom and so on. So I was left with being innovative in the kitchen. The markets were closed and so i had to think of something with the veggies and ingredients i had at home. The result was Bread Pizza. This allowed me to explore the grill function of my microwave too!!!

4 slices of sliced bread(u can use multigrain to make it more healthy)
2 tpsp of Amul butter
7-8 cloves of chopped garlic
1-2 greeen chillies chopped fine
chopped coriander
1 cup seeet corn(steamed)
1 finely chopped onion
1 finely chopped tomato
Maggie Pizza sauce
grated cheese
Pepper powder
Salt
Chat Masala

Soften the butter and add garlic, green chillies and coriander leaves. Apply this on the slices of bread and keep aside. Mix together the sweet corn, onion, tomato and add chat masala, salt, pepper powder. Add this topping to the bread slice and then sprinkle grated cheese (liberally if u r not watching your weight and cholesterol!!!!). Place two slices at one time on the grill stand and grill them until the cheese melts. Delicious bread pizza is ready to serve.

Mixed Vegetable

I have picked up dudhi or bottle gourd and every one is quite reluctant to eat it. The other day I made tahlipeeth out of it (it tasted great). Today this was my experiment on my unsuspecting victims. The vegetable smell good I will get the review from my critics in the afternoon. Though I have used the vegetable that I had a lot of others like mushrooms, corn kernels will taste good.


1 onion chopped fine
1 tomato
4 cloves garlic crushed
1 cup grated dudhi
1-2 florets cauliflower chopped in to small florets
1 capsicum chopped fine
½ tblspn oil
½ tblspn schzwan sauce
2 tblspn tomato sauce
Salt
Cheese for garnishing

Heat oil, add garlic. When the garlic becomes brown add onion fry till translucent.
Add tomato, mix, cover and cook till pulpy. Add the dudhi and cauliflower cook under cover for about 2 minutes. Add the capsicum, sauces and salt. Garnish and serve with chapatti. This can also be used as a filling for toast sandwiches or pizza.
