Naan bread without yeast

I invited out neighbor for dinner couple of weeks ago. I made a humus but forgot to buy flat bread. I was looking for a quick flat bread recipe to make the bread before they arrive. I found this naan recipe without yeast. Here is the link, Naan bread without yeast
I was very happy with the result and my guest was very impressed. Unfortunately, forgot to take a picture but I'm sure I will cook it again. I will update my post with the picture:) 

I didn't make the garnish. If anyone interested making it please go to the link for full recipe.

Ingredients for the dough

• All purpose flour 2 cups
• Baking soda 1/2 teaspoon
• Sugar 3/4 teaspoon
• Salt 1/2 teaspoon
• Oil 3 tablespoons
• Yogurt 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon
• Milk 1/2 cup
• Extra all purpose flour for dusting and few teaspoon oil for covering the dough

 In a bowl put all the ingredients. Combine and knead to make a soft dough. It will be very sticky, try to dust with some flour and make a soft dough ball. Pour some oil over the dough ball, smooth it all over.Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plate. Now keep this undisturbed in a warm place. May be next to the stove while you cook other dishes or microwave / oven would be safe place. Let it sit for 5-6 hours. (I didn't have time so I let it sit 30 minutes. )

Take one dough ball and roll out little elongated. You may dust with some flour to roll out and it will shrink as you roll. We are going to make a elongated triangle shape flat bread.

 Heat a good tawa (I used non stick pan ) with handle and keep it at medium flame. Make sure the tawa is hot enough before starting. Flip over when one side cooked to cook other side.

Enjoy it!

Chayote Salad

I never ate chayote until tonight. I saw a cooking show where they used it and I wanted to give it a  try. It looks like a green pear. It is crunchy not sweet and I thought salad might be a good idea.  I saw recipes with corn and avocado. I came up with very simple idea.


Ingredients:
3 chayote's cubed
2 avocado's cubed
1 cup cooked corn
cilantro
Dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon
salt
 Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients and  mix the dressing and then toss with the dressing.

One pot tomate basil pasta with meatballs

I made this pasta dish from online http://www.apronstringsblog.com/one-pot-wonder-tomato-basil-pasta-recipe/ a while ago but didn't post on my blog. Jeremy loved it and he posted picture of the dish for a while ago. I 'm glad that I decided to go back to posting my recipes again. I love this pasta dish because cooking style is different. I found this recipe from online as a meatless dish but we love our meat. I added ground chicken meatballs to this dish.  Also, I used fresh tomatoes instead of can and cooked differently. Here is the my version of the recipe,

 Ingredients:
12 ounces linguine pasta

15 meatballs ( I prepared meatballs ahead of time )
4 tomatoes chopped
1 medium onion, cut in 1/4 inch julienne strips
4 cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 bunch (about 10 to 12 leaves) basil, diced
Parmesan cheese for garnish

Preparation:
Put  olive oil in the pan with onion and garlic cook 2 minutes and then add tomatoes cook 2 more minutes. Pour in chicken stock. Sprinkle on top the pepper flakes and oregano.Add pasta cover pot and bring to boil.
 Reduce to a low simmer and keep covered and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes or so. Cook until almost all liquid has evaporated – I left about an inch of liquid in the bottom of the pot – but you can reduce as desired .
Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add basil leaves and stir pasta several times to distribute the liquid in the bottom of the pot evenly throughout the pasta as you are serving. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.
