Jazzy Vegetable dinners

 Think cauliflower, think broccoli, think beans, think pumpkin!
Sounds like a boring dinner, right? Wrong.

The recipes on this page are for the day when I want to cook vegetables, but in a fun way.

Broccoli Paneer rice

Very offbeat idea - uses a sauce of roasted broccoli and paneer which is poured over sauted peppers. Served with rice.

I tried it out, came out pretty good.

Thin crust Pizza with unleavened base

Ever since I have tried this out, it has become quite a family favorite. And a very easy recipe too! Earlier I used to spend 3 hours preparing the yeast-based pizza base. And that used to become quite thick while baking due to the yeast-effect. I anyways prefer a thinner crust, and this recipe is quite a life saver, without any massive preparation needed.

Inspired from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgNb0-Da2a4

First make regular roti dough, and make a parantha on tawa in the regular way. Minor twist - stuff a cheese slice in the parantha. I have tried it with and without the cheese and it works well both ways.

Once the parantha is ready, I top it with:

  1. lots of tomato sauce - i use whatever is handy, have tried with pasta sauce, or even ketchup mixed with oregano
  2. lots of mozeralla
  3. toppings

        My favorite toppings are:

  • Mushrooms, peppers, onions - these can be slightly pre-roasted in a pan or directly on fire for the smoky effect.
  • Paneer - chopped into small-ish cubes and coated with salt and piri-piri seasoning.
  • Fresh Tomato slices
  • Olives if available, green chillies if someone wants extra spicy
Bake at max temp for 10-14 minutes. I use topmost shelf of oven for this.
