 Pizza Rolls Bake 


It's not easy to please kids with snacks that they can devour when they open their fast. Well, you can be sure, they are going to love this one! With some basic ingredients available at home, you can win the hearts of your little ones! I did win my picky eater girl's heart! :D

The pizza rolls are made usimg bread slices, that are moistened and rolled to flatten to which the prepared pizza sauce is spread, onto that, add Mozzarella cheese, chopped veggies and the fried chicken pieces. These rolls are so yum! I feel like making them again already! (especially because it's so easy to prepare, hehe) Slice the rolls and place them on a baking tray, so read the remaining sauce, and sprinkle Mozzarella cheese and bake until the cheese melts. Soo good I must say!

Let's get the ingredients :

Ingredients:

  • 6-7 Bread slices 
  • 150 grams Boneless Chicken, sliced
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic paste
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli powder 
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper powder
  • Salt, as required 
  • 1/2 Onion, chopped 
  • 1/2 Capsicum, chopped
  • 4-5 tbsp Tomato Ketchup
  • 1 tsp Tomato paste
  • Freshly minced garlic, a pinch
  • 1/4 tsp Oregano
  • 3-4 tbsp Black Olives, sliced
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Red Chilli flakes, a pinch (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Butter 
  • 1/2 tsp garlic, freshly minced
  • Salt

Instructions:

  1. Marinate the sliced chicken with Kashmiri Chilli powder, garlic paste, black pepper powder and salt.
  2. Fry the chicken pieces in vegetable oil and set aside.

  3. To make the pizza sauce, to a small bowl, add the tomato ketchup, tomato paste, oregano, minced garlic (only a pinch, as the garlic can over power)
  4. Next, trim the sides of the bread slices. 
  5. Moisten the bread with fingertips, and flatten using a roller.

  6. Spread the pizza sauce over the bread, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, add the chopped onion and capsicum, and top up with sliced black olives. Place 2-3 pieces of the fried chicken pieces and roll them. At the end of the bread,dampen with water and press the roll to the end and seal it.
  7. Cut the roll into half and place both the roll on a small baking dish, cut side facing up. Similarly do rest of the bread slices and fill the baking dish.

  8. Finally, mix softened butter with minced garlic and salt and apply over the rolls and spread the remaining pizza sauce over the rolls and add leftover chicken pieces and chopped veggies.
  9. Now sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously, and sprinkle little red Chilli flakes (avoid if children can’t stand spice)
  10. Bake/ microwave until the cheese melts and serve warm!

Pulled BBQ Chicken loaded potatoes




Chicken and potatoes for a snack are match made in heaven. And to top it all, if it’s cheesy, even better. 
I was planning to film video of another recipe while it’ll I had this sudden craving for bbq chicken flavored snack. I had some potatoes looking at me from the kitchen counter top.

Well, my idea was just to dump in the readymade bbq sauce I had in my refrigerator and just do a quick loaded potato, that’s when I realized not everyone has bbq sauce in their pantry. So I made it from scratch so that everyone could try it too. Let me tell you, be ready for a war if you don’t make individual loaded potatoes for each person at home. It’s that good. I have witnessed it. 😆

The recipe is super easy, where the potatoes are half way boiled and then roasted in the oven for crustiness of the potatoes, whose inner core is removed and mixed with chicken that has been slow cooked in bbq sauce and pulled. With some cream cheese and other ingredients, finally topped with a hell lotta cheeeeese, you will know it’s the best loaded potatoes you would ever have had!😋

Not boasting or anything, but everyone here were fighting for more. So, now you know, it’s a must try!🤤

 Lets get started with the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Potatoes cleaned and unpeeled 
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, as required
  • 150 gms Boneless chicken
  • 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tbsp dark brown sugar *
  • 1 tsp Crushed Black Pepper
  • Salt, as required
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp Paprika/ Red Chilli Powder
  • 1/2 Red Chilli Flakes
  • 1/4 cup Corn Niblets
  • 2 tsp Cream Cheese
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Cheddar Cheese Slices
  • Chopped Parsley

Instructions:

  1. Half way cook the unpeeled and cleaned potatoes in water seasoned with salt for almost around 10 minutes.
  2. Drain water from the potatoes, place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and poke holes in the potatoes using a fork. 
  3. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt, as required.
  4. Roast the Potatoes for around 15-20 minutes at 180 deg C.
  5. Next, into a pot add in your cleaned chicken pieces and add in your sauces and spices like tomato ketchup, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce (optional), brown sugar, black pepper powder, garlic paste, and paprika/ red Chilli powder. Mix well.
  6. Slow cook the chicken for around 15-20 minutes without adding any extra water. Cook until when the chicken pieces pulled with fork, pulls easily.
  7. Pull the BBQ chicken, combine the thickened BBQ sauce in the pot with the chicken itself.
  8. Next, add in your red Chilli flakes, corn niblets, and cream cheese and butter. Mix well and set aside.
  9. Once the potatoes have cooled to the touch, scoop the inner core of the potatoes, keeping the potatoes peel intact and add the scooped potatoes to the pulled chicken and mix well.
  10. Load the potatoes with the chicken potato mix and top with mozzarella and cheddar cheese and brook until cheese melts.

  11. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!








Notes: 

You may completely avoid the sauces if you have readymade BBQ sauce.


Cheesy Chicken Popcorn





I wanted to cut down on deep fried this ramadan, but it's almost impossible when you have fasting kids at home. They don't want to get served with non fried or simply have the main meal for iftar. So for keeping them excited all along Ramadan I try to include at least one fried item for the sake of kids. (My young siblings and my little girl)

We are already halfway into Ramadan, I feel so numb and miserable as it's Day 15 of Ramadan, which means the month of good deeds are slowly coming to an end. May Allah keep us all steadfast on His Deen and help us to continue to do all the good deeds that we have done this Holy month and may He accept it from us.

These cheesy Chicken popcorns are so easy to make, with almost all basic ingredients. Boneless Chicken pieces are minced and spices are added to which corn and mozzarella chesses is added to make it extra delicious and cheesy. Then these are made into lemon sized balls and frozen for around 30 minutes. At the breading station, coat the balls in flour, then beaten egg and then into bread crumbs and fry them on medium low for 6-7 minutes until chicken cooks well.* Kids will truly love this! It was indeed a hit here too, alhamdulilah!

Let's get on to the recipe. 



Ingredients:

  • 500 gms Boneless Chicken Breast
  • 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • 3/4 tsp red chilli flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Crushed black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika Powder
  • Salt, as required
  • 1/2 cup Corn niblets, thawed
  • 3/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour 
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 1 cup Bread Crumbs
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Add your boneless chicken cubes** to a food processor or a mixer and add in ginger garlic paste and your spices like red chilli flakes, oregano, black pepper powder, smoked paprika powder, and  mince your boneless chicken and transfer to a bowl.
  2. Now add in your thaw corn niblets, mozzarella and add salt if required.



  3. Next make them into lemon sized balls and freeze them for about 30 minutes.

  4. Coat the balls in flour, next dip into the beaten egg and then finally coat in bread crumbs and fry for 6-7 minutes on medium low heat until the chicken cooks well.




  5. Enjoy with ketchup or your favorite dip.

Notes:

  • The outer covering will get cooked fast, but since the insides are raw boneless chicken mince, you need to make sure to fry them well on medium low heat in oil before draining them*
  • Make sure your boneless chicken is cleaned and dried usimg a kitchen towel.**

Paneer Tikka Bread Discs





I love anything that has the base of butter chicken.. But of course, what stands out in Tikka masala is the addition of yogurt. Though Yougurt is usually added in the stage where the paneer is shallow fried, I prefer to shallow fry it just with salt and add the addition of yogurt in the tikka gravy.

You may use tomato paste instead of tomatoes to get even finer texture of the gravy. While experimenting this one, I had actually used tomato paste and the gravy turned super smooth and silky. The method I use here is fresh tomato, though the texture might have tiny bits ( the gravy can be strained using a strainer), you can have the gravy without any guilt as the tomatoes are not canned/in a container (which may contain additives to preserve them).

Paneer Tikka Bread Discs are prepared simply by preparing the gravy first, which should not be too thin. Next the bread discs are prepared by using cookie cutters of 2 sizes and then water is used to join both the bread discs. The bread sics are tasted with garlic butter and finally filed with the tikka gravy.

More Ramadan recipes coming your way. In Sha Allah.

Ingredients : (Makes 6 paneer tikka bread discs) 

  • 12 bread slices
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil 
  • 200 gms Paneer cubes
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Medium Onion, chopped coarsely
  • 1 Medium tomato, chopped / 3 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 green chili, optional
  • 8 Cashews
  • 2 tsp Red Chilli powder
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • Salt, as required
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Fenugreek leaves
  • 2 tsp tomato ketchup
  • A dash of heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 Cloves Garlic butter, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chilli Flakes
  • 1/4 tsp Dried Fenugreek Leaves
  • Coriander leaves for garnishing

Instructions:

  1. In a pan, pour the vegetable oil and add in your paneer cubes, season with salt. Shallow fry until light brown marks appear on the paneer.
  2. Next, in the same pan add in your butter and sauté your chopped onions, season with salt, this helps to cook the onions faster.
  3. Next add your cashews and tomatoes and cook cover for 5-10 minutes until mushy. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a hand blender, blend the onion-tomato-cashews to a smooth paste ( strain the gravy using a strainer if required).
  5. Next, into the same pan, add 1 tbsp Butter and add red chilli powder, saute for 5 seconds and immediately add in your gravy base to the sautéed chilli powder before the powder burns and Sautee well.
  6. Now add in your shallow fried paneer cubes, yogurt, Kasoori methi /dried Fenugreek leaves, tomato paste (optional)** , tomato ketchup and once everything comes to a boil, bring it to a sim and add the cream. * and switch off the flame. 
  7. Next, prepare garlic butter by mixing, butter, red chilli flakes, minced garlic clove, and Fenugreek leaves and salt in a small bowl, mix well and set aside. 
  8. Cut your 2 bread slices using a large round cutter and the second one using a cookie cutter just smaller than the large bread circle. 
  9. Remove the middle bread piece and layer the one with hole on top of the other bread circle by joining them using water and pressing the ends slightly. 
  10. Spread the prepared garlic butter, on both sides and toast them until crispy and fill in the Paneer Tikka masala and garnish with Coriander leaves and enjoy! 





Notes-

  • *Do not boil the gravy for too long, as the gravy may curdle due to the presence of yogurt.
  • **You may completely avoid fresh tomatoes for silkier gravy, use the 3 tbsp tomato paste in this case, if using fresh tomatoes, you may add 1 tbsp tomato paste too. 
  • These discs can be prepared in airfryer too. 
  • You may do the Charcoal burn flavor, by placing a piece of hot coal in olive oil/butter in a small dish/aluminum foil , and place the small dish inside the pan with gravy and close with the lid well immediately, so that the smoke within gets absorbed by the Paneer Tikka masala. I have skipped this step in the recipe.

Cheesy Chatti Chicken



Oil free snacks call for dishes like these that are delicious yet very simple to prepare. Chatti Chicken basically involves an oven baked/ fried layer of potato which is then layered with a layer of minced chicken masala, which is finally smothered with bechamel sauce. Garnished with any type of cheese of your choice, which is then broiled and topped off with some chili flakes.

These are perfect for ramadan, hassle free and loved by everyone. Let me tell you when I made this here at home, everything was wiped clean, it was a big hit! So you can imagine. I happened to see almost a similar recipe online which was in Spanish, I assume. And they seemed to have prepared in an earthen pot too. I have always seen this street food that we get in a Chatti that I am yet to try. So with my own ideas I came up with Chatti Chicken, where Chatti means Earthern pot. If you do not have an Earthern pot, do not fret. You may prepare the same in a pan or any vessel available. The Chatti helps to retain heat, which in turn helps to bring the flavors together.



The aroma that comes while the Chatti chicken is placed in the oven is commendable! The Bechamel sauce bubbling with the cheese melting and drooping.. Ah! What a sight! To my surperise, I loved it too. Let's get to the recipe!

Ingredients :

  • 2 Potatoes, chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Medium Onion, chopped finely
  • 1/4 tsp Red Chilli Flaked
  • 1/4 tsp Freshly Crushed Pepper Powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Paprika Powder / Red Chilli Powder
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • Salt as required
  • Cheese Slice
  • Mozzarella cheese

Instructions :

  1. Parboil your potatoes that has been chopped into cubes, in water with some salt. Drain and set aside.

  2. In a food processor / grinder, drop in the chicken breast pieces with roughly chopped garlic clove, red chilli flakes, black pepper powder, and red chilli powder, mince coarsely and set aside. 
  3. In a pan, make a roux by dropping a knob of butter and add in the flour and mix well while keeping the flame on low.
  4. Next, pour the milk gradually and mix without lumps, allowing the roux to thicken slowly, your bechamel sauce is ready, set aside.
  5. Now, in a baking pan, place baking paper and drop in the parboiled potatoes and add in the minced garlic, paprika/ red chilli powder, salt, and drizzle olive oil and allow to roast for 5-8 minutes at 180°C.*

  6. In a pan, drop in butter, chopped onions, salt as required and minced chicken mix.
  7. Now take an earthern pot/ Chatti and assemble the prepared layers.
  8. In the Chatti, pour a ladleful of bechamel sauce. 

  9. Next add in your roasted potatoes, the chicken mince masala layer and generously pour the bechamel sauce. **
  10. Next add in the cheese slice and top with Mozzarella Cheese and broil the chatti in the oven until cheese melts and flavors come together. 
  11. Your Cheesy Chatti Chicken is ready to devour! 🤤🤤




Notes:

  • * You may deep fry the potatoes too.
  • ** You may repeat the layerimg process.
  • I did not add salt in my bechamel sauce as all other layers had enough salt in it.
  • You may prepare the same in a pan, if you do not have a chatti/ earthen pot. Just place lid and put on simmer in the final stage to allow the cheese to melt
  • Do not place your Eathern pot in a preheated oven, only broil the Chatti for the cheese to melt. You may alternatively simply place the Chatti on the gas stove, place a lid and put on simmer until cheese melts (around 5 minutes).
