Pizza Party Day = Happy Day - letter 5 for Advay

Dear Advay ,
I was happy today when I got up ,had a nice cup of coffee with fruit cake woke you up and thus the day started you know the reason for my happiness you must be wondering because that time at 6am  I am cranky and according to you always screaming as I have to do multitasking.
Today was Pizza party day in your school which means no lunch box from home so today I didn't had to rake my brain and think what to pack in your Tiffin .Ya  Advay  I know you must be thinking that I am so lazy but yes such kind of brake specially when the food is organised by school makes me happy in different way you are happy too whenever you show me the slip for the Pizza Party for oblivious reason because you love eating pizza.
This letter is just for sharing my little happiness for you that though I like to pack Tiffin for you I love this kind of break every 2 to 3 weeks when there's no need for me to pack food for you.This was a secret in my heart which I am sharing with you today .A pinch of happiness the similar kind you have when you don't have any home work from school.
With lots of love
Your lazy mummy

I know its been long time since i published chicken curry in my blog ,so today thought of sharing marathi style chicken curry which i prepared for my sis fren when she had come for dinner,ya frens i am talking about much talked about hot Kolhapuri chicken

,recipe is adapted from here ,though kolhapuri chicken is considered hot mine wasnt that hot :-) still we enjoyed the meal with chapati,and onion tomato raita

It really feels good when some one else takes the charge of kitchen and thats how i felt when Pallavi told me that she will prepare food,..now that was a pleasent surprise for me,..she prepared fried fish in green chilli sauce recipe adapted from here,egg cury and plain rice.

for egg curry-shallow fry chopped two onion tomato and  four green chilli in one tsp of olive oil,once onions start changing colour add four tsp of cremicas ginger garlic sauce,keep frying till oil is seen along the side,add half cup of water let it simmer,in another non stick pan shallow fry boiled eggs and and transfer them to the prepared gravy ,serve hot with rice or chapati.

Brunch of green pea fry and dinner of pizza enjoy,..:-)

Few days back i was not in mood to preapare dinner ,because Advay was down with cold and cough to cut things short i decided to go ahead with pizza,didnt want to work much on topping so for topping i used tomato onion paste,capsicum slices,garted cheese and cottage cheese flavoured with chives.

to prepare Cottage cheese flavoured with chives i mixed half tsp of chives in one cup of chopped cottage cheese ,kept them aside for 10 minutes, after 10 minutes shallow fried them in one tsp of oil,once done keep aside .

assemble everything on pizza base,and keep in preheated oven for less than 10 minutes,mine was done in 8 minutes.

Most of the times when i am alone at home i skip breakfast and go ahead with brunch ,to satisfy hunger pang i prepared for myself egg toast and fresh green peas fry

For fresh green pea fry-

heat one tsp of oil in non stick wok add half tsp of cumin seeds followed by coarsely pounded one red chili and finely choped onion keep frying till onions start changing colour,once done add salt and green peas if possible cover for some and keep checking,once green peas start chnging their shape ad dhlf tsp of garam masala powder and half tsp of lemon juice,stir for a min or two and remove from flame,serve hot.

For egg toast

i have used Dalia bread which was quiet filling,i carved out heart shape from centre of the bread,kept it aside,in non stick pan add few drops of oil,once oil becomes hot keep the carved toast on the pan and fill the centre of the bread with egg yolk,once brown from one side,change the side to toast the other side,once done remove from flame nd keep aside,.

to serve place egg toast,carved out heart and green peas enjoy platter with hot tea of cofee,..

FRESH VEGGIES PIZZA AT 12 IN NITE WITH BREAKFAST OF GRILLED SANDWHICH AND HOMEMADE MINTY RICCOTA CHEESE WITH FEW CLICKS TO SHARE

Ever tried making pizza at 12 in the night...I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY BUT l i did,..asked hubby to chop veggies

as he is fast in cuting veggies,..while he was chopping i was thinking about topping fro pizza,,base was readymade one,..so no worry..too tired to make any topping i thought of just adding veggies,

chopped mushroom,basil leaves,homemade cottage cheese .

I Started topping preparation by brushing the base with butter,..kept cottage cheese ,and garlic in the centre and the rest of veggies like yellow capsicum,onion,tomatoes, sweet basil leaves were arranged in different layers,..once done i evenly distributed cheese slice on the topping,followed by dried italian herbs,.salt and pepper and finally red pepper on top,

i know cheese is supposed to be on top,,,but this time i did opposite,..after all there is no problem in bending rules,as the veggies are raw here i microwaved for 3 to 4 minutes,once done enjoyed hot

,.i was dead tired but one bite and i forgot everything,..:-),

Next Morning was saturday another reason to get up late,..but for me everyday is saturday as i am not working,..:-) hubby and Advay both were sleeping so after doing chores prepared breakfast of grilled sandwhich with leftover topping of pizza,..placed topping on bread

and grilled on hand griller for few minutes,enjoyed hot grilled sandwhich

with ginger tea from mahanandis blog,..i had dried ginger powder from quiet a long time but never tried adding in tea,..when i saw the recipe of ginger tea in her post i was tempted to try,.and i am so happy i did,..it was real nice and with grilled sandwhich taste was awesome.

..:-),.thanks Mahanandi for sharing such nice recipes,,,.
