I can eat a pizza almost every day, yes yes and I am not exaggerating, I promise I can; but then I am reminded of Joey’s dialogue from the television series Friends- once on lips, forever on the hips. So if like me you also loooove pizza and there are days when you crave for it really bad, but want to shut your mouth because of all the calories-then this recipe is going to solve your problem.

So if the above point entices you and excites you, you are on the right page. Now imagine, you have that sudden urge to have a pizza, but you are not hungry enough to have one whole pizza. Or you don’t want those frozen pizza from the supermarket or a store bought dominos, pizza hut or papa john pizza, you want to make your own, but again you don’t have so much time to knead the dough and work with the yeast-in both the above cases this one minute pizza in a mug in a microwave is your answer.

There are tons of recipes on this concept and I tried so many of them until this one worked really well for me. So this is my tried and tested recipe after many failures and attempts.

How to make a good Microwavable Pizza in a mug/cup/bowl? What are tips to make a good pizza in a cup? Here are my tips.

• Measure the ingredients. Do not eyeball the ingredients or just use as per approximation. Correct measurements are very important.

• Use a mug which is broad from the top, you want the microwave waves to reach up till the bottom, so cup that has a broad opening from the top, just like a bowl will do the trick.

• Do not add too many toppings, just a handful. Remember it is a very small pizza.

• This is an eggless recipe, without an egg and this is my next tip-please do not use egg, it will ruin your pizza.

• Do not try to use whole wheat flour, I tried and it failed miserably.

• You can use tomato ketchup or a mix of spicy sauce and tomato sauce instead of pizza sauce-and it work just fine.

• Last but not the least, have it hot, eat it right when it’s out from the microwave. This is instant pizza recipe so you cannot reheat it –it will become rubbery, so have it instantly.

If you follow the above tips, I promise you can just not go wrong with this recipe. So, here is

Indian Vegetarian, No Eggs, 1 Minute Microwave Instant Pizza in a Mug recipe.

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons all purpose flour/maida

1/8 teaspoon baking powder

1 pinch baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons pizza sauce (or tomato ketchup)

3 tablespoons grated mozzarella cheese

Toppings- I used 1 black olive, 1 tablespoon chopped capsicum and tomato

1/4 teaspoon red chilli flakes

Method:

In a mug that you are using, mix all purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt. Mix all the dry ingredients.

Add milk and olive oil. Mix with a fork, so that you don’t have any lumps.

Spread the pizza sauce on it.

Top it up with grated cheese and spread toppings.

Sprinkle dried herb and red chilli flakes.

Microwave for 1 minute.You will see that cheese has melted and is bubbling on the top.

Notes:

You might need to microwave for 1 minute 10 or 20 seconds. The timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary.

Cooking time might also vary depending on the size of the mug. The mug I used is around 1 and ¾ cup.

Always keep an eye, just in case you see that it is overflowing. Pause for 2 seconds and start the microwave timer again.

Pizza Tart And Luscombe Cider Review

Have you ever observed carefully bar scenes in the movies? Sometimes there is a group of friends taking about their boring married life; occasionally two people are solving murder mystery; at times they are just smuggling things. Overall in movies bars plays very important character ;) Thus when I was in India, these bar clips in the movies fascinated me and I always desired to visit one. That doesn't mean that I am a bar person- not at all. I only wanted to enter in these royal, old, rustic bars and observe the happenings carefully. Well the real world is very different from movies :)

After multiple stopovers at many bars in London, I could gulp beers easily. One day I tasted cider at the local bar and I liked it instantly. Now, beers or cider? I have only one answer- cider. This amazing drink has to be made or let’s say fermented carefully. After a quick search on the net, I found that organic ciders are the best. To be organic the apples must come from orchards in which no pesticides have been used and is free from preservatives.

Fortunately there is one company which produces cider that is rich and free from any kinds of adulteration. I am talking about Luscombe Drinks, who have been making delicious drinks since 1975. Based on a farm in deepest Devon, all of their drinks are crafted with exceptional care and integrity. They manufacture soft drinks, beers and ciders. I am going to enlighten just a perfect genuine drink-cider

Luscombe Organic Devon Cider is made without the usual added chemicals that stabilize ciders. No added Sulphites - unusually. As soon as I opened the bottle-the nose could only be described as heavenly. I would even go as far as saying divine (in my very best posh accent). Amazing earthy apples varietals leaped out of the glass with impeccable clarity. Just after the first quaff, it felt that it has been fermented to perfection. The right dry structured taste, the exact zingy formation; the polite yellow colour –was all to die for. I sniffed and guzzled the first bottle in one go.

Anything spicy, cheesy would be a perfect match for this dry cider. The first dish that popped in my mind was pizza. But who had so much time? My creative mind punched me to make a tart keeping in mind the idea of pizza-Crispy base, roasted vegetables, melted cheese and a touch of herbs. I wasn't wrong, this tart is outstanding from others and is the quickest pizza you can ever make. Winter cuddles, spicy tart and a cider to drink, in the comfort of your home- ah what more could I have asked for!

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons pizza sauce (I used this)

1 tablespoon dried herbs (oregano, basil and thyme)

¼ cup mozzarella cheese

1 tomato chopped in rings

1 small onion chopped in rings

½  cup colored bell peppers sliced

¼ teaspoon black pepper crushed

¼ teaspoon chilly flakes

¼ teaspoon salt

1 Puff Pastry Sheet (substitute with homemade or store bought pie crust)

2 cups rice

Method:

Preheat oven to 180 C
Line a baking tray with wax/parchment paper or foil. Brush it with butter/oil. Place 1 frozen puff pastry sheet on it and allow it to thaw.
Place a grease-proof paper on top of the pastry case and fill with rice. Just roll the edges to shape it like a plate.
Bake for 10 minutes till it is light golden in color.
Remove the rice and the grease-proof
paper. Apply pizza sauce in the base and they arrange half of the tomatoes, onions and bell peppers.
Cover it with cheese, mixed herbs, black pepper, chilli flakes and salt.
Arrange the remaining vegetables on it.
Bake it again for 5-8 minutes or till vegetables is roasted and cheese is melted.
Cut in squares and serve hot.

Notes:

Substitute pizza sauce with tomato ketchup or even pesto.

Any shape can be given to the tart.

This can be made in tart moulds as well. Carefully roll the pastry sheet and lie it on greased tart tins/ moulds and then follow the method.

This can be prepared beforehand. Just keep in the hot oven for 2 minutes and serve.

Taste:

Cheesy, spicy and crsip.
