TORTILLA PIZZA RECIPE | KIDS FRIENDLY SNACKS RECIPE|PIZZA USING TORTILLA

Pizza , the name itself makes the mouth water for  almost all of us. Though we know it is high in calorie we still enjoy pizza and especially kids love pizza the most. All the time it is not economical to buy pizza for them at Pizza outlets and not good for health too. This tortilla pizza is the easiest way of making pizza. If you have ready made tortilla at home just go ahead and make this pizza. Even you can make this with left over Chapathi too. I made in Oven and 2 days back i tried this tortilla pizza in tawa too. It turned out well. so even if you don't have oven at home also you can still make this pizza.

COOKING FOR GUEST SERIES #2 | NORTH INDIAN LUNCH | DINNER MENU

Whenever i call anybody for dinner i generally make a north Indian meal as it is liked by everyone . Generally i make the dessert the previous day . If making rotis i make the dough in the afternoon after lunch and will make all the dishes and roll the rotis in the last. Last week when the exams got over for kids and the school holidays started. As we all are in a relaxed mood and it was raining badly i planned to prepare an elaborate meal for dinner. I had soaked Channa in the morning as my son wanted Poori with Chole for Dinner. I made poori only for him and for the rest of us i made Roti.
We are going to India for 2 weeks and i will be posting the rest of the posts for this month from Chennai, for the first time. Generally i schedule posts, before vacation. I couldn't make it this time. I am prepared with my clicks and posts will come as usual.

SAMOSA RECIPE | HOW TO MAKE POTATO SAMOSA | TRIANGLE SAMOSA

Samosas, generally we order as a tea time snack or as a starter for birthday parties . I have never attempted to make this at home as i always felt it is time consuming. My friend's mom makes delicious Onion samosas , which she makes for all of us whenever she visits her daughter. when she came 2 weeks back to Singapore i have decided to go to her place and learn how to make samosa. I made the potato filling for samosa and made the dough too at home and took to her place. Aunty very patiently taught me how to make samosa and i clicked the step wise pictures and i too learnt the process of making samosas.  Though the process may seem bit laborious but actually it is not and you will end up getting super tasty samosas. Unlike the punjabi samosas this one is quite light and not too heavy to eat.
  Go ahead and make you own filling  for the samosa. I will post some samosa recipes with other filling too later. Will post a video also soon.

Go ahead to make your own garam masala and make the dish more flavourful.

COOKING FOR GUEST SERIES 1 |SOUTH INDIAN VEGETARIAN LUNCH MEAL

Atithi Devo Bhavah - which in sanskrit means "The Guest is God". I have grown up seeing my mom and patti treating guests coming to our house very nicely and my house is always filled with guests and my native place Madurai , city of Temple and our relatives and friends visit our place so often and stay for a day or a week to see nearby temples. My mom being a working women always pampered guests and never cooked a simple menu when guests are around. Those days we don't have maid at home too. As grown up in that situation i never missed a chance to invite people to home whenever i have time and cook elaborately for them. In fact i started this blog upon the sweet condition of Rak's as i have to send an entry for her event Cooking for Guests which she hosted on my request. 
Though now a days due to kids studies, my own personal work and hubby's office work weekends i never get time to call people to home but if i time permits and i call any of my friend's here i never miss to cook an elaborate meal for them . Though it is a big effort when they happily eat and say they enjoyed the food , that gives me a lot of happiness. 
Every time when i invite i break my head what to cook for them and so i started this Cooking for guest series. I will be posting the menu plans and it will be a mix of Lunch, dinner , breakfast or evening Tiffin. Even you can alter few items and can cook the menu for your family too if you don't have guests at home.   
Whatever you cook, cook with happiness and serve with lot of love, even though the menu is simple and not very hot , the love will make the guest feel completely satisfied. I think all of you agree with this . Happy cooking and happy hosting.
So my dear readers, be my Guest and join this journey for a visual treat. With your all your support i hope we all will enjoy this journey. Let me start with the South Indian lunch meal today.
