PRATA TUNA ROLLS RECIPE

My boy used to like frozen prata for a quick meal but now that has changed. He doesn't like it anymore. Other snack of his favorites are Roti John (Asian French Toast), Peas Kachori and Potato Cups

Since I have bought a pack of frozen prata from our nearby supermarket so need to clear them for good use before it passes its expiry date.

The best choice is turn the prata into baked Tuna Rolls and serve it during breakfast or tea time snack.

Prata Tuna Rolls are pretty simple to put together, you just combined the drained tuna with mayonnaise, onion, black pepper or chili flakes before stuffing. Added extra chili powder since my boy like them extra spicy.

If you don't like savory ones, you can turn the prata as dessert by filling it with fruit then drizzle with chocolate sauce. In fact there are endless option, just use your imagination.

Most importantly, do not leave the prata too long at room temperature, it becomes sticky and hard to handle. You can start cutting and shaping immediately after you've removed them from a freezer.

Before baking you can brush these Prata Tuna Rolls with egg wash but done without it. Frozen prata is a great substitute for puff pastry too.

RITZ BANANA CAKE RECIPE

Recently, a supplier of milk products launched a special offer drive for their brand of fresh milk that provides a customer with a pack of Ritz cracker for purchase of their product. Because of this exercise, I had few packs of Ritz lying on my cupboard.

To make use of those. I incorporated the crackers for making Ritz Banana Cake that was a favorite for everyone at home.

First crushed the crackers with rolling pin (this is what I use) or use your food processor to do the job. These crushed cookies replace the flour for making the cake.

Intentionally reduce the sugar to half a cup instead of 1 cup because those bananas are enough to sweeten this Ritz Banana Cake.

This is perfect for someone who wants to venture into baking with a little twist from a classic recipe that you would never dreamed to have put together.

Easiest recipe and most delicious cake! So moist and everyone who has tried it, loves it. My aunt was amazed how easy and quick the recipe is.

EASY APPLE COBBLER RECIPE

After making Cake Fruit Yogurt Parfait, Mini Pumpkin Tarts and Fruity Jello , am looking for a new dessert to try. I stumbled upon a fruit cobbler recipe that is much easier to put together since you don't need any rolling pin to shape the dough. The dough can be flatten by hand about the size of your palm to cover the fruit.

Fruit cobbler is a very versatile dessert, as you can vary the fruit used, based on the availability of seasonal fruits or any fruit you have in hand. You can use frozen fruits as well. That's the beauty thing about cobbler.

I have never made an apple cobbler before, this was a simplest recipe to make. Easy Apple Cobbler consists of 2 parts, the fruit and the topping. Peel, core and slice the apple before adding lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch.

Prepare the topping by adding the flour, sugar with melted butter. In no time, your buttery ball of dough is ready to use.

Made a mistake by closing the gaps after overlapping the dough so my Easy Apple Cobbler turns out almost smooth anyway the end result was divine!

SPICY CHICKEN PIZZA RECIPE

Pizza is the most popular food in the world, wherever you go you can find it. You can even order them from your home. It was a favorite for everyone since the topping it is easily adaptable to suit your personal preference but it vegetarian or non vegetarian type.

Last weekend, we have a guest visiting my place so I thought why not making this SPICY CHICKEN PIZZA for them. Play around with this basic pizza recipe and make your own selection of toppings. In case you don't eat chicken, you can check my Homemade Tuna Pizza, Potato Pizza or Sour Cream Pizza.

The first step in the process is making the dough since it requires time to rise. Add some additional flavor to the crust like oregano, basil. garlic, black pepper if you like before mixing the dough. While waiting for pizza, you can prepare the chicken by sauteing the garlic, add in chicken, chili powder and cilantro. You can omit the chili powder altogether if cooking for young children or adjust to suit your heat tolerance.

I used ready made tomato sauce but if you have time, you can make an awesome sauce at home. You can even use leftover spaghetti sauce , add little basil and garlic to spice it up or bbq sauce as well.

This SPICY CHICKEN PIZZA recipe is what my family uses and frequently modifies. They easily fit 2 pan of 15 x 10 in. You can bake it using a round pizza pan if you have one.
