Give pizza night a new twist by making spicy Chapli Kebab Pizza (Heavenly Double TREAT)!!

Monday nights are for creativity. Or maybe, you’re like me and just have leftover Chapli Kebab’s wasting away in your fridge. Pinterest gave me the inspiration I needed to take dinner from a boring pizza night to an Italian-Pakistani Twist.

This Chapli Kebab Pizza is my Pakistanized pizza makeover…..you could say that this is an Pakistani-Italian delight….hey, fusion food is the latest fad. A delicious and easy to make pizza with crispy, juicy chapli kebab’s and melty mozzarella cheese! It is sure to be a hit!

Chapli Kebab Pizza

This pizza is so easy to make with left over Chapli Kebab’s with the cheesy topping….nobody could resist. I added dried Italian herbs to the pizza base and that gave a subtle Italian flavor with the Pakistani flavored topping. And just followed my heart to a logical conclusion. I took the shortcut and used the Chili Garlic sauce in place of pizza sauce and lessen cheese to keep it healthy and low fat( you can add more cheese). Well… I needn’t explain what the result was. The recipe finding its place in this blog itself says it all….. Right???

So why go to pizza hut…when you can make healthy homemade ones?? This pizza was a huge hit with my family try it…you will love me more, honestly 🙂

The recipe I am sharing today is a Family FAVORITE. All families have certain dishes they love to cook and eat. Mine goes gaga for these baby Chicken Breads! Put 12 dozen in front of them and they’ll still demand more. I am sure you will face the same situation with your siblings, cousins, random guests when you try these magical Baby Chicken Bread.

Baby Chicken Bread

Chicken bread is a classic of Pakistani bakeries and we served it at most of the tea parties as a staple here. This simple yet delicious bread is easy to make and full of flavor.

All you really need is a few basic ingredients: salt, flour, baking soda and yeast etc. The “trick” to achieving a perfect texture is not to over knead the dough and don’t over bake, as this will make it tough & hard, ugh not good! Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds. And voila! It’s ready to go in the oven for 25 minutes.

Photo: Baby Chicken Bread

On weekend night, I decided to bake chicken bread from scratch and Just for a twist I made them in baby sizes.

Don’t ask me why I do these things. I’m not quite sure myself.

But you have to admit….they’re pretty darn cute.

Photo: Baby Chicken Bread

So now that my kitchen is covered with Baby Chicken Breads, what should I do with them?
Of course, slathering them with hot pepper sauce and taking a big bite doesn’t count. I already did that. Twice.

This recipe is especially handy because it makes A LOT of Baby Chicken Breads (1-1/2 dozen to be exact). So they are the perfect, fuss-free party food. Easy to make, fun to eat.

When you need one, you just thaw it out overnight in the fridge or keep it out on the counter until it’s thawed out, then unwrap and then splash a little bit of water using your fingertips on it and put it in the oven for about 5 minutes to freshen it back up. Becomes as good as new!

Homemade Veggie Pizza Recipe
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

We’ve entered the season of warm comfort food. Soups, Stews, roast meat, etc. And sometimes all that heavy food seems . . . well . . . heavy.

Homemade Veggie Pizza

Just about everyone loves pizza, myself included. However, traditional restaurant pizza is generally made with refined (white) flour, and loaded with saturated fat and sodium – things that can quickly lead to weight gain and harm your health. To make pizza something I can feel good about eating regularly, I’ve found ways to make my own healthier versions. The key is using whole grains, less cheese and loading up on lots of healthy veggies and herbs. Also eating produce that’s in season helps you save money and also ensures you are getting a good variety of foods and nutrients.

This pizza included some of my favorite veggies and herbs: carrots, red onion, broccoli, corn, green or red pepper, olives and fresh basil. The ingredients only required about 20 minutes of prep time, starting with chopping the veggies and tossing them in a little olive oil for roasting. Adding a fresh herbs to the veggies adds nice flavor (and makes your kitchen smell amazing during cooking!).

In addition to its great taste, winter veggies especially broccoli is the good sources of dietary fiber and rich in magnesium. Broccoli is loaded with antioxidants, fiber, and numerous vitamins and minerals including magnesium, fol-ate and fiber which are good for health.

While my super-food veggies were roasting I gathered and prepped my other ingredients. The dough only required a thin spread of pizza sauce and cheese to provide creamy texture and cheesy flavor.

The veggies were done once they were slightly crisped and fork-tender, and I spooned them over the dough. I finished the pizzas off by topping them with the Mozzarella cheese, olives and a sprinkle of herbs.

Photo: Homemade Veggie Pizza

The last step involves popping the pizzas in the oven – I chose to make veggie pizzas in individual mini pizza pans. They only needed about 15 minutes to cooked the dough and for the cheese to melt. I loved the contrast of the cheese, olives and herbs with the crunch from the veggies on this flavorful pizza!

Photo: Homemade Veggie Pizza.. Yum

If you need a lighter dish, that doesn’t skimp on flavor, try this Homemade Veggie Pizza recipe. It’s fresh, full of flavor, and won’t weigh you down like the winter comfort food can. Pizzas like this can be enjoyed as a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and make a tasty addition to a healthy diet. Enjoy!

Photo: Pizza loaded with cheese and veggies ♥

Recipe Tip’s:
1. Feel free to play around a bit with the ingredients in this recipe if you make it yourself.
2. Add nuts (walnuts, pumpkin seeds), more veggies, would be great, and you could also skip the cheese all-together and instead use the ricotta cheese as the sauce/base.
Bismillah, Let’s get started!

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) Recipe

Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

I think it’s time that I take a quick break from the highly caloric Iftar snacks I’ve been posting about recently, and share a favorite healthy recipe. This Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat) is a traditional Pakistani Iftar Staple. We love munching on it throughout the year, but it’s especially nice in the summer after a long day of fasting. Known as a salad in the West and a savory snack or “Chaat” in the East. This low-fat dish has traveled a long way from Pakistan to make its way onto Iftar tables in South Asia and lunch/dinner tables across the rest of the world.

Spicy Chickpea Salad (Chana Chaat)

The acidic and tart flavors of tamarind chutney, the sweetness of the apricot chutney and the cooling taste of mint chutney balances the palette out immaculately. A well made Spicy Chickpea Salad (or Chana Chaat) will enable you to taste all these flavors independently with each spoonful.

ITS SUMMER TIME

Summer has been kicking into high gear and the temperatures have been climbing here, and everyone wants to keep cool on hot summer days. So today, I have a recipe for a simple, classic and very popular sandwiches: “Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches”.

Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches

Egg and Cucumber sandwiches are the most delicious, easiest finger foods to make. All you need is sliced white bread, boiled eggs, mayonnaise and of course, cucumbers. To enhance the flavor, I also spread a thin layer of dill with cream cheese spread.

Photo: Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches

I love adding cucumbers to egg mayonnaise. And sometimes different herbs too (especially dill goes very well with eggs and cucumbers). The cucumber can either be chopped finely and mixed into the egg mayonnaise or sliced thinly , I like the latter since it adds a nice fresh crunch to the sandwich. This can be made in advance and keeps well, so is perfect for tea parties.

What are your favorite foods for a tea time snack or tea party? For me, the food are simple to prepare and easy to eat (and not so messy), preferably something we can eat using our hands or toothpicks.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

When you’re home alone and nobody has made dinner, what do you usually make for yourself to eat? To me dining alone, at home means you can really break all the rules. You Make Fish and Chips And go a bit overboard and make pasta salad. Cooking is my therapy and my cure all. Whipping up ingredients, the aroma of food, that first bite, the feeling that it has all come together just right is a balm like no other.

Mince Stuffed Cutlets

When I was in college, these “Mince Stuffed Cutlets” was one of the first recipes I ever added to my regular rotation.

Mince Stuffed Cutlets is a great appetizer that involves soft delicate potato patties stuffed with seasoned cooked mince. Delicious and crispy patties that can be made in just 35 minutes. These make a great snack or appetizer or even a starter for parties or perfect for weekend meals.

I used to fill my cutlets with spinach, broccoli, cheese, or whatever ingredients I have in my hand. It’s so fun to experiment with different ingredients, home cooking should be easy and fun! Although I enjoyed a lot of combinations, mince stuffed cutlets was always my favorite (and cheese, too).

I know it seems quite far apart but when you take a bite it taste very close to the potato chops.

There are many variations I have seen online. Some use a little flour mixed with the potato mash, an egg wash, bread crumbs and cornflour. You can make it vegetarian by using cooked peas and carrots in garam masala with some onions and fresh coriander then mixed with the mashed potato and shallow fried. You can replace the lamb mince with cooked ground chicken or beef, or fish. Try getting more creative: This is great fun – keep adding different ingredients to taste the different flavors.

Recipe Note’s:
1. You can use Chicken /Mutton /Beef mince as on your choice.
2. These freeze quite well so you can pop them in the freezer before frying them and then completely defrost and then coat and fry.

Sorry for that as I haven’t been feeling good these days.

Recipe Note’s:
1. Do not place the seasoned chicken pieces directly on the baking sheet. Instead, place a wire cooling rack on top of the cookie sheet and place the chicken pieces on the rack, this will allow air to circulate around the chicken, resulting in perfectly crispy chicken without the soggy bottoms.
2. If you like the chicken drumsticks nice and browned, place them under the broiler for few minutes after they are baked.
3. If you prefer cheese, you can sprinkle 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese over them.
I have also posted Chili Chicken Legs which is another easiest & tastiest version of making Drumsticks. Do check it out as well.
