Cheesy Crust Veg Pizza with Homemade Pizza Base (Step-by-step Pictures)

I tried this recipe from my Friend Mahi's blog. Thank you Mahi.  I followed all her steps except I prepared a cheesy crust. Check her recipe here.

For Topping :

1. Pizza Sauce - 1/2 Cup

2. Mozzarella Cheese - 1/2 Cup

3. Mixed Vegetables of your choice - 1/2 Cup (Chopped)

For Dough :

1. All Purpose Flour - 2 Cups

2. Active Dry Yeast - 1 tsp

3. Olive Oil - 2 tsp

4. Salt - 3/4 tsp

5. Sugar - 1 tsp

6. Warm Water - 1 Cup

Procedure :

1. Add yeast, salt and sugar to warm water. Mix well and keep aside for 10 minutes.

2. Now, take flour in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture a little by little. Keep knead while you add the yeast mixture.

3. Make a soft loose dough. Now, grease your palm with olive oil and apply over the prepared dough.

4. Place a damp cloth over the bowl and keep in a warm place for 2 hours.

5. After two hours, dough would be raised. Gently press the dough and knead again. 

6.  Keep aside for another hour and allow the dough to raise.

7. Now, knead well. Here you may need a little extra flour if the dough sticks to your palm.

8. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 350 F.

9. Roll out the dough. Lightly dust the baking sheet with flour.

10. Keep the rolled dough carefully in the baking sheet ( I used cake baking pan).

11. Now, place the grated cheese around the corner. Fold the edge to cover the cheese.

12. Spread the pizza sauce. Place the vegetables. Sprinkle the cheese over the vegetables.

13. Apply olive oil over the crust.

14. Bake for 35 minutes in the pre-heated oven.

15. Serve warm.

Vendakkai Mor Kuzhambu and Punjabi Kadhi Pakoda

Today, I have two recipes to share with you which I tried from Raaga, who is one of the best foodie bloggers. Yesterday, I was going through Raaga's blog and it was a very great challenge for me to select the recipes. I wanted to make every dish I saw in her blog!! Finally, I had to fix on two dishes, which were almost similar to each other although those dishes were from different cuisine. One is the South Indian "Vendakkai Mor Kuzhambu" and another is "Punjabi Kadhi Pakoda". I make Mor kuzhambu often, but her version of Mor Kuzhambu was different from mine and so, I selected that. I've not changed anything in the recipe except that just to make it bit more spicy and colourful, I added 1/4 tsp chilli powder and extra 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder. Get her recipe here. The recipe is very simple and easy.

The another dish I tried out is "Punjabi Kadhi Pakoda". I just followed her recipe and didn't make any changes to the original. Go here for her recipe.

Both these recipes goes to Divya's "Tried and Tasted - March Edition". The event was started by "Zlamushka".

Pesarattu with Upma and Ginger Chutney

This is the Andhra speciality food. I happened to taste this wonderful combo in one of the South Indian Restaurants in Delhi. If my memory is right, that Restaurant's name is "Andhra Bhavan". It was during our College tour, we stayed in Delhi for few days. We stayed well away from this restaurant. But the staff who accompanied us loved the food served there. Every day morning he would urge us to get ready very early, so that we (he!!!) could relish this best tasting Andhra food. We travelled not less than an hour for our breakfast everyday. They served us the best tasting pesarattu dosa and upma combo. Back home, I nagged Amma to prepare Pesarattu. As Amma had no Andhra friends, she never made it. Later, I forgot about it. Few months back, I was talking to my friend about our by-gone good old college days. Our talk slowly turned towards our tour. We had lots of funny memories about the staff who came with us for the tour. We also talked about the food we had in that restaurant. After she hung up the call, I searched the net for the recipe. I was lucky enough to land on "Sukanya Ramkumar's" blog. Thanks to her for the wonderful recipe. I was very happy that I made the food that I loved. Go here for the recipe. You can find other two wonderful recipes which I tried and tasted here and here.

Dhikida Sambar

My mom was so excited to receive the wishes from you all. She conveyed her heartfelt thanks. Thank you guys for all the wishes you showered on my mom. I'm proud to have got so many lovely friends around me.

Now coming to today's recipe, I'm sharing a recipe that I tried from a wonderful blogger. Starting from today, I'm gonna post every Friday the dishes I tried out from other blogger friends. Most of the times, we prepare something that we really love from others, even we photograph them but never post the dishes or talk about them. So, I want myself to be bit organized hereafter. I've already posted Mahima's Chocolate Peda, a month ago.

I found this recipe in "Think Spice, Think Poppy Seeds" event round-up. This recipe was posted by RV of "Food for 7 stages of life". She hosted that event. I prepared this as a side-dish for Idly. It tasted so good. I mailed her and thanked her for this wonderful recipe. It didn't take much time to prepare. Thanks RV for the quick, easy and tasty sambar. Get RV's Dhikida Sambar recipe here.

I'm so happy to receive wonderful responses from you for the first Guest post. My sister is so happy and she conveyed her thanks to you all. Coming Monday, we have another guest. She is one among our lovely foodie bloggers. She is such a friendly person and she got quite a good number of recipes in her blog in a short time. Let me meet you all with our Guest on Monday. Any guess about our guest guys??
