4-in-1 Pizza


For this month's taste & create, I have been paired with bad girl's kitchen. Not the host Min, but another "bad" girl : Shell. And thanks to this fabulous event, I have just discovered my best pizza dough ever. I don't know if it's the honey Shell adds or the extra olive oil but this was a really soft, slightly thick pizza.

I made half of Shell's recipe, which is just enough for two pizzas. So I halved the dough, then rolled it into a circle. This I then divided into four quarters and spread a different topping on each. The one on top is mixed veggies (sliced onions, spinach, corn) topped with my pizza sauce. Going clockwise, you next have plain tomato and cheese. Then comes spinach (pizza sauce, then a layer of chopped spinach topped with a layer of cheese). The last one's the same except we use onions instead of spinach.

A hearty weekend dinner, and enough dough in the freezer for a rainy day.

4-in-1 pizza also goes to Zorra who is celebrating the second anniversary of Bread Baking Day with a pizza party.

Glad you like the pizza dough recipe! It's a huge favorite of mine! I make several batches and freeze it for later.

LOVED the Paneer Cheese Sandwich! Interesting cheese! Never had it before!

Announcing AWED : Britain

Before I ate my first Italian wood fired pizza, before I went to that swanky Japanese sushi bar for the first time, or the neighborhood Chinese joint, the first non-Indian cuisine I encountered was British. Not real food, mind you, but the tempting, oh so delicious descriptions in my favorite novels. From Enid Blyton to Jane Austen to P.G. Wodehouse, every favorite character in every favorite novel seems to have food on their mind. Yes, British food gets ridiculed a lot. But forget their main course dishes for now, and think of the full English breakfast and the elegant afternoon teas. Then try imagining the world without cucumber sandwiches or potato chips and you will realize you can't do without British food. Which is why when I saw that DK was looking for hosts for her monthly event AWED (A Worldly Epicurean's Delight) and there has never been a British AWED, I promptly signed up. The rules are simple really: Make any vegetarian or vegan British dish (eggs are

Mystery Fruit

This only happened a few times every year, just when the rainy season kicked in. A street hawker will come by, straw basket on head. He will yell "kaul chapni" and I will run out to buy a bundle of these. Stuck together like flowers, they looked like a bouquet. Every hole contains a little fruit. You break out the package, peel the tiny fruit that pops out and eat it. Done slowly, it can take you an hour to eat an head. Or did, when I was about 12 years old. That was the last time I saw this fruit. I've never seen it again, didn't even know what it was called or where it came from. Three weeks back, Vikram Doctor wrote about a store in Khar that sells Sindhi foods. He described this fruit and I knew it came from my vivid childhood memories. And finally, I knew we were talking about lotus fruit. Now talk about coincidences. Last weekend, I was passing by a lane in Bandra and for the first time in many, many years I saw the straw basket filled with my mytery fru

Of Brun and Bun Maska

There is more to Bombay's breads than the pao that goes into pao bhaji and vada pao. There's Brun. and there's bun. We will get there. First, you have to get to know the city's Parsis. And Iranis, who are also Zoroastrians, but came to city a little later, in the late 19th or early 20th century. And when they came, they brought with them these little cafes that dot the city. I am no expert on Irani chai cafes. And I can't tell you whether Yazdani Bakery will provide you the best experience or Kyani's. But I can tell you a few things you need to ignore when you get there. Appearances don't matter; so ignore the fact that the marble/glass top tables and the wooden chairs look a bit dilapidated. Also ignore the rundown look the place sports. Instead, get yourself settled. And order a bun muska. This one's familiar to you as a first cousin of the soft hamburger bun. It's similar, but just a tad bit sweeter. Maska, of course, is the generous dollop o
