Dill Aloo

Dill is actually Shepoo(in marathi) and Sowa ( in Hindi) . The combination with potatoes is really great. Trust me , you have to eat it to believe it. The aroma of dill is what gives the preparation its distinctiveness. Dill potatoes can be eaten as an appetizer or as a regular sabzi.
So here is what you need

• 2 large /4 medium potatoes diced
  
• 1/2 -1 cup finely chopped dill.
• 1 tsp jeera
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• A pinch of hing
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
  
• 1 tsp red chilli powder
• 1 tsp curry powder ( substitute curry powder with 1 tsp jeera powder , 1 tsp coriander powder and 1/2 tsp garam masala)
• 1/2 tsp amchur powder / juice of 1 small lime.
  
• 1 tbsp oil
• Salt to taste

Here is how you do it.

1. Wash , peel and dice potatoes.
   
2. In a pan add oil , crackle jeera , mustard seeds , hing and turmeric
3. Then add the potatoes. Saute for a min.
4. Sprinkle some water and cover and cook the potatoes on a low flame.
5. Keep sauteing once in a while to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
   
6. The potatoes will take around 10 to 15 mins to cook.
7. Check the potatoes by inserting a knife.
8. Then add red chilli powder and curry powder.

Naan Pizza

Hmmm sounds different!!! Well it definitely is. I happen to come accross this one as I searched the net . Then with the Naans lying in the deep fridge for a few days , I had to try it right away.The idea for this one goes to Nigella Lawson , a Brit cook. I completely love her. So here is the recipe. This one makes 4 slices

• 4 Naans. ( You can use either plain naan or garlic naan )
• For the base sauce : 4 Ripe tomatoes ( finely chopped) ,1 medium onion ( finely chopped), 2 tsp olive oil , 4 to 5 garlic cloves chopped ,1 tbsp tomato sauce, 2 tsp oregano ,1 tsp red chili powder, Salt to taste
• For the topping : Sliced onions, Chopped bell pepper, Mushrooms , Chicken
• Mozzarella cheese.

1. In a pan , add olive oil and saute garlic for a while.
2. Then add onions and saute till they turn translucent. Then add tomatoes and saute.
3. Cook the tomatoes on medium flame till they are completely cooked.
4. Add oregano , red chili powder , salt and tomato sauce. Cover with lid and cook on low flame for almost 20 mins or till the sauce thickens. Cook it completely.
5. Preheat oven to 300 degree F.
6. Spread the sauce on the naan .
7. Add toppings of your choice
8. I made this one with chicken topping. For this, add butter in a pan. Add garlic and oregano . Toss cooked chicken . Add this on the pizza.
9. You can also add tikka chicken or panner. Just add whatever you love
10. Add cheese and put it in the oven for 10 mins.
