Vegetable Biryani

Contributor: Sravanthi
nenu vegetable biryani ila chestha, no idea about your recipes as i did not check the biryani in your blog.

Take equal quantities of
Onion, Green peas, Beans, carrot, potato, beetroot, one or two tomatoes.

Chop all the above length wise.
Green chillies as per your taste and cut length wise
Cinnamon 1/2" stick
Bay leaves - 3 to 5
Curry leaves - chopped
Coriander for garnishing (i chop these very fine)
Ginger Garlic Paste

Put oil in a pan, add seasoning, then add bay leaves and cinnamon stick. Now add green chillies saute for a min and then add curry leaves. Add onion slices and add ginger garlic paste. Once the raw smell from GG paste is gone then add all the chopped vegetables except tomatoes. Add some salt so that these vegetables start leaving some water. When you can see the veggies leaving water add tomatoes and stir for another 5 minutes. Now add water (depending on the rice you take). Once water starts boiling add washed and drained rice to it and let it cook till done.

Occassional stirring is required so that rice and vegetables are mixed properly.
Once rice is done add chopped coriander for garnishing. Serve it hot with raita

Pizza with Self Rising Flour

Contributor: Pushpa
u can make pizza using tht flr and it actually comes out good than all purpose flr one. and i also use whole wheat flr with self raising flr in 1:1 quantity.
check for manjulas kitchen on you tube videos and u can exactly follow her instructions to make the base...i have tried couple of other recipes too, but this one was the best of alll!!
as for the topping and tomato sacue u can mrinara sauce at home using fresh tomatoes or canned tomato paste....this comes out really tasty believe me
mrinara sauce kosam u have to first heat oil and then add some chopped onions and minced garlic to it. once they r done u can add the tomato paste with some salt and pepper and finely chopped basil leaves.

and also use mexican blend cheese, it is a mix of 4 types of cheese and is also bit spicy and i love it. and also there is one type of cheese tht is barbecued..i mean it has tht taste and i use these two types of cheese at home when making anything.
also put some finely chopped basil leaves with toppings...they give a real nice flavor to the pizza and i just love this home made pizza. my daughterl oves it too and now rarely asks me for pizza when v go out


good luck!
