    Pizza recipe 

    Ingredients:

    For the Chicken Tikka:

    • 250g boneless chicken
    • 1 tsp garlic paste
    • Salt, to taste
    • ¼ tsp crushed black pepper
    • ¼ tsp crushed red chili
    • ¼ tsp crushed cumin seeds
    • ¼ tsp chaat masala
    • ½ tsp tikka masala
    • 1 pinch orange food color
    • 3-4 tbsp yogurt
    • 2 tbsp oil

    For the Pizza Dough:

    • ½ kg (500g) all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 2 tsp sugar
    • 2 tsp yeast
    • 1 egg
    • 2 tbsp oil
    • ¼ cup milk
    • Warm water, as required

    For Assembling:

    • Pizza dough (prepared)
    • Pizza sauce, as needed
    • Mozzarella and cheddar cheese, shredded (as much as desired)
    • Onion, thinly sliced
    • Tomato, thinly sliced
    • Capsicum, thinly sliced
    • Cooked chicken tikka
    • Jalapeno slices, optional
    • Black olives, sliced
    • Dried oregano leaves, for sprinkling

    Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Tikka

    Marinate the Chicken:

    In a bowl, mix garlic paste, salt, crushed black pepper, crushed red chili, crushed cumin seeds, chaat masala, tikka masala, orange food color, and yogurt. Add the chicken and coat well. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for deeper flavor).

    Cook the Chicken:

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

    Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Dough

    Activate the Yeast:

    In a small bowl, dissolve 2 tsp yeast and 2 tsp sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

    Mix the Dough:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and egg. Add the yeast mixture, oil, milk, and enough warm water to form a soft dough.

    Knead the Dough:

    Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

    Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

    Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

    Roll Out the Dough:

    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two portions (for two medium pizzas). Roll out each portion into a pizza shape on a floured surface and transfer to a greased pizza tray or lined baking sheet.

    Add Toppings:

    Spread a layer of pizza sauce over the rolled-out dough.

    Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

     

    Evenly distribute the cooked chicken tikka, onion, tomato, capsicum, jalapeno, and black olives over the cheese.

    Sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese on top.

    Bake:

    Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Garnish and Serve:

    Remove from the oven, sprinkle with dried oregano leaves, and serve hot.

    Serving Suggestions:

    Serve the Chicken Tikka Pizza with a side of garlic bread or a fresh salad.

    Drizzle with a little extra olive oil or chili oil for added flavor.

  • Savoury cabbage and carrots frittata with mozzarella

    Savoury cabbage and carrots frittata with mozzarella 

    Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this delicious frittata:

    Vegetables and Herbs:

    • 1/2 cabbage (approximately 600g, finely shredded)
    • 1 onion (finely chopped)
    • 2 carrots (grated)
    • A few sprigs of parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)

    Batter:

    • 4 eggs
    • 4 tablespoons of flour
    • 1/4 cup of milk (50 ml)
    • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon of salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon of oregano

    Cheese:

    • 100g of mozzarella cheese (shredded)

    Making It Step by Step

    Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables

    Start by prepping your vegetables. Finely shred the cabbage using a knife or a food processor. Grate the carrots and finely chop the onion and parsley. Set them aside. This mix of vegetables will add color, crunch, and nutrition to your frittata.

     

    Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and the carrots are tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the heat and set them aside to cool slightly.

    Step 3: Prepare the Egg Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and slightly frothy. Add the flour, milk, olive oil, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano to the eggs. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. This batter will bind the vegetables together and give the frittata its fluffy texture.

     

    Step 4: Combine the Vegetables and Batter

    Once the sautéed vegetables have cooled slightly, gently fold them into the egg batter. Make sure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will ensure that each bite of the frittata is packed with flavor and texture.

     

    Step 5: Add the Mozzarella Cheese

    Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a little to sprinkle on top of the frittata. The mozzarella will melt as the frittata cooks, adding a delicious creaminess to the dish.

     

    Step 6: Cook the Frittata

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil. Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

    Place the frittata in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean when the frittata is fully cooked.

     

    Step 7: Garnish and Serve

    Once the frittata is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve the frittata warm, either on its own or with a side of salad, bread, or yogurt for a complete meal.
