Bread pizza and the end of the lunchbox event

I have been planning to make bread pizza for long. Just love it. Crsipy toasted bread and a spread of my favorite veggies, with a generous helping of cheese and tomato sauce. Yummmm....Had planned it for the close of the lunchbox event and here it is for you. This was supposed to be a kids special but loved every dish that came. Guess it brought out the child in me. Will be posting the round up by the weekend.I would like to thank you all for having participated in the event. I was glad to see that some entries came in with 3-4 dishes.

Was a little skeptical initially as I had taken a long break with the shifting and all. Was doubtful about the number of entries that would come in. Thanks for not disaapointing me. It was a nice heady feeling seeing all the wonderful entries. I am sure the roundup would be one that most moms would look forward to. A great way to get their bundle of joy to eat well and healthy.

For now my bread pizza recipe.
Ingredients:
bread slices- 5 to 6
onions -1 (finely chopped)
Tomato - 1 (finely chopped)
Capsicum - 1(finely chopped)
Grated cheese
Tomato ketchup
Salt to taste



Method:
Mix all the vegetables together with a pinch of salt. Take a slice of bread and spread a tsp of tomato ketchup on it. Add a generous helping of grated cheese on it and grill in the oven for 4-5 minutes till the bread slices are nice and crispy and the cheese is all melted. Top it with some tomato ketchup. You could even make a nice smilie face on it to make it more attractive to your little ones. Yummmm....

To end my thrid event I couldn't think of a better ending than these delicious easy to make bread pizza and yes, I am topping it with chocolate. No not the bread pizza. I liked this chocolate lava acake and this video makes it so very tempting. I am sure both you and your little ones would enjoy this rich chocolate lava cake that is so full of chocolate.

Tomato Chutney - enjoy the goodness of tomatoes

The tomato sure is a wonderful ingredient that not only lends its vibrant red color to the dish but also several health benefits. The benefits only get better when it is cooked. Here is a tomato chutney recipe that I am sure is made with slight variations in most Indian homes. A wonderful accompaniment for your crispy dosas, fluffy idlis, rotis and can even be served as a dip or spread. I like the tasty tangy flavor and prefer to have it with the dosa. This recipe goes to the event hosted by Ruth "Monthly Mingle- Sensational Sides"

Ingredients:
Tomatoes - 2 (big, sliced thin and long)
Onions - 4 (medium sized, sliced thin and long)
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp(I prefer to use Kashmiri chilli powder)
Salt to taste
Sugar -1 tsp
Curry leaves 8-10
Cookig oil -2 tbsp
Mustard seeds(3/4 tsp) and curry leaves(6-8) for tempering



Method:
Take a pan and add in 1 1/2 tbsp of oil. Add the tomatoes, onions and salt. Saute till the tomatoes and onions turn soft. Add the red chilli powder and saute for half a minute. Now add the curry leaves and sugar and saute for a minute. Take out and let cool. Put in the blender and make a coarse paste out of it. Temper with mustard seeds and curry leaves and serve.
