POTATO PIZZA

All along I have baked regular pizza topped with tomato based sauce and looking for something simple without any meat or cheese so this recipe is really fits my requirement. It uses simple ingredients and the main item is potato which must be sliced paper thin using a mandolin if you have.

Have sprinkled  little bit of chili flakes but this is optional. Despite its simplicity, it turned out amazing and tasty. My children gave this pizza  the thumbs- up  and we intend to bake them often.

SAVORY POLI

Spicy poli is an Indian flat bread stuffed with savory filling  Normally it uses vegetable such as mushroom, potato, bean  or  carrot.  It is famous in a state of Gujarat and Maharashtra. They are best serve during breakfast as well  as a  mid afternoon snack.

When preparing the dough, it must has a right consistency that is very soft and pliable so shaping is so much easier using your hand.

EGGLESS CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Baked these Eggless Chocolate Brownies as requested by my son. I choose eggless version,  had used chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate and added chopped almond. You can also use walnut or pecan, omit them altogether if you are allergic to nuts.

This is the best Eggless Chocolate Brownies recipe ever, the results were amazing and loved by everyone, truly moist with deep chocolate flavor!

BUTTERHORN ROLLS

I love to bake my own bread and buns, it  is really challenging and satisfying. Most butter horn rolls found on the net used heavy dose of shortening/ butter.

Now I had baked them using reduced fat, these Butterhorn Rolls  turned out light, tender and buttery. Might try to stuff them with cheese or chocolate for my next project.

SZECHUAN FRIED RICE

If you enjoy Chinese food, you have definitely eaten Chinese fried rice. There are so many recipes out there with different ingredients. This simple dish is very  popular in many parts of the world. It can be cooked according to your taste and availability of items from your pantry.

For non spicy version,  you can reduce the chili paste used. Have added cauliflower and peas but carrot, french bean, capsicum  or mushroom are best alternative. You could  add  more vegetables or may be throw in some chicken or prawn if you want.  Even without those it is so tasty,  fulfilling  and a great meal on the go..
