chicken drumsticks for busy nights

Its been so long since I removed dust form here each year I tell myself I will try to update this space more often but I fail with the laptop plugged and trying to remember the password and other things it feels good to write here without inhibition of time or thinking about hashtag.
Yesterday after a long time we both were alone at home advay loves to eat chicken drumsticks
I didn't do much effort marinated the chicken drumsticks with curd, ginger garlic paste and meat masala .
After few minutes pan fried the same. While I paired it with cranberry bread advay had with chapathi.
This is best for weekends or when you don't have much time.

Saturday evening
6:00pm planned menu for dinner -dal ,chawal and chicken shami kabas which were being thawed
6:30 pm changed  the menu for dinner ,with thawed  shami kababs ,pizza cheese thought of preparing Chicken Shami Kabab pizza
,kneaded the dough for pizza base and kept it for resting .
7:00pm started with the sauce preparation and fried the thawed kababs
8:00 started with the rolling of pizza base and baking
8:30 Dinner Ready :-)
its not the first time I baked pizza at home but I was always disappointed by the base
few months back when I saw the recipe of The Best Pizza Dough on Eat Live Run Blog
I thought of trying out the same recipe and ya for me its The Best Pizza Dough Recipe .....
and the best part is the leftover dough can be freezed and can be used later
before baking keep it out for an hour thats all,..:-)
