Tandoori Salmon Pizza!
Dear friends,
You know how you get excited to try out a creative that has been floating in your head? Well this Tandoori Salmon Pizza has been ‘swimming’ in my head for quite some time now but I had not been able to make it.
As you know, I love fish and cute fish shaped things- you will find plenty of platters and fish décor in my home. So I wanted to make my pizza fish shaped too. I am not a huge fan of salmon, but know that it is good for health and want to incorporate it in our diet. Honestly, the Tandoori Salmon tasted even better than I anticipated, which was a welcome surprise. It can be a meal by itself.
Tandoor, by the way, is an amazing clay oven used in India, which I wish I had. I do have a home style tandoor that my mother had…

Friends,
A quick and easy meal during the busy holiday time that is loved by the entire family too! How often does that happen?
In wintertime, I bake the naan on a pizza stone in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven following about the same timing for baking as I do on the barbeque grill in the summer.
Enjoy the ease of a quick and delicious meal!
Wishing you all Happy Holidays!
Love,
Sandhya
Do you love the ease of super quick grilled food in the summer? I definitely do! And as summer starts winding down, I take every opportunity to enjoy the outdoor grill and the summer bounty.
That is how the Grilled Naan Pizza came about. This is an easy, no fuss, meal that is simply scrumptious! The corn topping is a combination of Indian and Mexican flavors. The addition of the fresh summer tomatoes, cilantro and red onion gives this pizza a definite oomph!
I started by preparing the corn topping. You can use fresh corn on the cob, grill it and remove the kernels or use frozen defrosted corn and roast them in a teaspoon of oil, in a pan. Then add the cumin seed powder, red chili powder, sea salt, brown sugar and lime juice. Mix.
Grilled or roasted corn kernels with spices
Add the soft cheese wedge. I…

Jalapeno Poppah Aapah! Crisp on the outside, fluffy inside with a yummy jalapeno popper flavored cheesy center!
My Bostonian friends will agree with me that Jalapeno Poppah Aappa is a totally wicked appetizah! Aapah, btw, is singular for aape:)
