BUTTER NAAN




Butter Naan is a favorite with me and my family. So much so that everytime we go out to a restaurant, butter naan surely figures in our order. The curries or other dishes may vary however, butter naan and most times the butter chicken remains a constant phenomenon.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour(maida)(add in only 2 cups initially if you find the dough a little sticky you could add the remaining flour to make it just perfect)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tsp sugar
Oil -1 tsp
Butter -2 tbsp
1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
Note: Instead of yogurt you could even use the water remaining after you prepare paneer (whey)

Method:
1- Take a bowl, add in the flour (2 cups initially), salt, baking powder and the sugar. Mix well.
2- Add in the yogurt or whey and knead into a pliable dough. Add the leftover flour to make it perfect if you feel that your dough is too sticky.
3- Smear 1 tsp of cooking oil over the prepared dough and keep aside covered with a damp cloth.
4- Let the dough remain for an hour or two till it rises. Roll out into triangular shaped naans of approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Cook the naan in your oven, tandoor or the tawa(skillet) till it is done on both sides. Put a blob of butter on the Naan(Indian bread) just before serving. The Naan is best served hot.

Have it with paneermakhani,palakpaneer,butterchickenor any other Indian spicy curries
veg or nonveg

PIZZA

DO U LIKE PIZZA,ME TOO LIKE IT.COME ON HAVE A LOOK ON DELICIOUS VEGETABLE PIZZA.






Ingredients :-

For making dough:-

Maida / All purpose flour : 2 cups
Yeast : 1/2 tbspn
Sugar : 1/2 tspn
Salt : 1 tspn
Warm water : 1 cup
Olive oil : 2 tbspn

For dusting :-
Maida : 1 cup

Pizza Sauce :-
1/4 tin of pizza sauce
Toppings :-
Onion : 1 small
Capsicum : 1/2
Pineapple : few chunks
Jalapeno : 1
Mushrooms : 5
Broccoli : 1/4 crown(depends on ur taste)

Preparation :-

* Take 2 cups of all purpose flour also called as maida in a big bowl. To this add salt and mix nicely.
Take a bowl and add yeast , to this add 1 cup of warm water and sugar(Dont add hot water yeast will die) . Mix nicely and put aside for 10 mins .

When yeast proofs then add 1tbspn olive oil to the flour and add yeast mixture . Mix nicely and finally add 1tbspn olive oil to the dough and give a good mix. The dough will be sticky so dont worry about it and it should be like that only. Cover the dough with a lid or wet damp cloth and put in a warm place for 1 hr.

After that if u see the dough it will increase its size atleast double. Punch down the dough and mix nicely . cover it and put again in warm place for 45 mins. After the time elapse punch down the dough .

Take 1/4 cup of flour on a flour board and take the dough on to the board and make a nice dough and roll it with rolling pin or you can directly spread the dough on the pizza pan. Before spreading pizza dough on the pan sprinkle little corn meal or dry flour s that it prevents the pizza base from sticking to the pan . Once done apply olive oil all over the base and edges. Take a fork and prick it allover.

# Preheat oven to 450 degree F and after it is preheated put this pizza pan in oven and bake for 5 mins and take out.
# Now apply pizza sauce all over the base . I used Trader giotto's pizza sauce . You can use any brand or you can use fresh home made pizza sauce.

Distribute toppings evenly all over the base.

Sprinkle mozzarella grated cheese all over the vegetables.
# Drizzle olive oil all over the pizza and put the pan back in the oven.
# When cheese melts and turns light brownish color then switch off oven and pull out the pan carefully

Transfer pizza on to a chopping board and cut with a pizza cutter.
Serve delicious hot vegetable pizza
