Chicken - Mushroom rice

Ingredients
Cooked rice - 1 bowl(I used left over rice)
chicken - 1 breast piece( marinated with coriander pwd - 2 tbspn, turmeric pwd-1/2tsp, pepper pwd - 1 tspn, lemon juice-1 tsp, chopped garlic-2 cloves and salt)
Mushroom - 1 bowl
Green onion(spring onion)-1 bowl, spinach - 1 bowl
Chopped ginger - 1 spn, Red chillies -2 nos, coconut oil - 1 tbspn, ghee-1 tbspn, lemon juice-1 tspn, Salt -as required.


Heat coconut oil , put ginger and red chillies. To this add chicken and when chicken is half cooked, add in mushroom. Stir well and with lid on cook for 5 minutes. No need to add water as mushroom itself contains water. Add salt and spinach to this. Spinach takes very less time to cook. Give a good stir and cook for 2 minutes. Now time to add rice. Mix all the ingredients and cook for at least 2 minutes until rice absorbs all the flavors and masala.
Lastly add green onions, ghee and lemon juice. Mix well. Lemon juice gives a little tanginess to rice and ghee enhances the taste.


I didn't add coriander leaves , as such it contains lot of greens.

Sausage Pizza

Recipe

Pizza dough - its just a basic pizza dough. All purpose flour 3 cups, instant yeast 1pack, 1 teaspoon each of sugar and salt, 1/2 cup olive/vegetable oil, 1 cup milk. Mix all together and prepare dough. Leave this to rise for at least 2 hrs.







For topping

Tomato salsa - I like to use tomato salsa as it already has tomatoes/chilli/garlic/onion/coriander leaves and also gives a smoky flavor,moist texture and spiciness to pizza. You can use tomato ketchup/sauce.

Chicken sausage - cut into round pieces. I had cooked sausages adding chilli, turmeric powders, salt and pepper before spreading onto pizza.
Grated cheese (Parmesan cheese) as required
Bell peppers(capsicum) 1-2 cut into round shapes

Preheat oven to 350 F(USA)

Divide dough, roll onto pizza pan. Spread tomato salsa, cooked sausages and capsicum evenly on the dough, sprinkle enough cheese. Bake 15-20 minutes, season it with oregano.
