BBQ Chicken Pizza

 My little one has been battling a very high fever for  a few days so have been busy taking care of him. Its horrible when kids fall sick, and little guy is a bit annoyed cos I keep making him wash his hands and preventing him from jumping into his little brother's bed, in order to avoid little guy from getting sick as well.
This post has been sitting in my draft for ages , so finally posting it.My hubby once bought this book for me called Sandra Lee Semi Home made : the complete cook book.       He said the food inside looked nice,. Yes, the recipes had everything coming  from the packet but I have to say some of them were quite handy in giving me ideas  to try new recipes.There was a section on Pizza and Pasta,  and this pizza recipe caught my attention.
The boys didnt like it but  hubby and I enjoyed it.  Try and use fresh pineapple as the canned ones release too much juice and makes it soggy.


Recipe : BBQ Chicken Pizza   adapted from  the recipe BBQ Chicken Pizza from Sandra Lee's semi home made : the complete cookbook

1 chicken boneless breast piece ( cooked [season with a little chilli powder, pepper, salt and bake or panfry] or use any left over chicken from a roast)
2-3  slices fresh pine apple, cubed
1/2 a red bell pepper, skinned, sliced thinly
1/2 cup bbq sauce ( I used American Garden Brand BBQ sauce)
Chilli flakes 1/2 tsp
pinch dried thyme
pinch ground black pepper
olive oil
a  mix of mozzarella cheese and Chedder ( preferably smoked chedder) or you can use the pizza  cheese mix
Pizza dough ( for 1 pizza)

Preheat your oven to the hottest you can get.   Place your  pizza pan inside to heat up.

Shred your chicken, Mix in 2 tbsp of the BBQ sauce and a pinch chilli flakes, and thyme and pepper. Set a side.

Take a piece of aluminium foil big enough to roll your pizza , drizzle with a little olive oil and spread your pizza dough on it .

 Into your remaining BBQ sauce add the chilli flakes, pepper and thyme and mix well. Spread this all over the pizza dough.

Arrange the  chicken  and bell pepper and sprinkle with cheese.

Take the heated pizza pan out and slide the prepared pizza by holding the ends of the foil and plopping it carefully, with the foil onto the  hot pizza pan. Pop back into the oven and bake for 10- 15 minutes till the cheese is melted and bubbling, cool slightly before cutting into slices.

Kashikeyo Baipen (Screwpine fruit Porridge)

Image
I know I posted this a long time ago but I took some of my old posts out due to some comments I got but then again , I realized  different people make their recipes differently, so why bother what people say. Anyway, the first time I heard of this recipe was from my husband. We had just been married and living in Kulhudhufushi as my husband was working there for 6 months.  I love screwpine fruit and its heady perfume. So there I was making, or rather trying to make, kashikeyo kandhi and hubby kept hovering around, going that's not how my mum used to make. Yes I know ladies,  there are lots of new weds, who read this who have heard this line LOL??. Anyway , a few years later,  I finally tasted the  dish , which by the way was a totally different  dish altogether, so my hubby was right???? .   My mum in law  showed me how to make  it and I love making this, especially during Ramadhan, as its not just a desert dish , it can even be eating...

Banbukeyo Hithi ( Breadfruit Curry)

Image
For ages I kept meaning to try one of the Hithi recipes. Hithi means bitter but this is not a bitter curry. Its called hith i because its uses a spice known locally as hithi damui . My mum kept saying its difficult getting hithi damui you can only get it from the local ayuvedhi stalls until my sister discovered after seeing the spice that it was in fact ajwain/ carom seeds . I have seen ajwain seeds in a local shop and also in some of the Indian specialty shops. Ajwain seeds although it looks a lot like tiny cumin seeds  has a slightly different taste. There  are two kinds of hithi , one is this banbukeyo ( breadfruit )  hithi and the other is maalhoskeyo hithi ( plaintain). Recipe : Banbukeyo Hithi Serves 4 -6 1/4 piece of a regular size banbukeyo (about 250g) 2 garlic cloves, finely grated 1/2 inch ginger grated 10 curry leaves small piece pandan leaf 1/4 tsp tumeric 100g smoked tuna 1 small onion thinly sliced 1/2 tsp ajwain or hithi damui 150 ml coconut milk 700...
