Baking Pizzas in the Electric Tandoor

As you all know, I love to cook. In the past two weeks, I have been struggling to discover oil-free and salt-less cooking. Having to spend less time and create wonderful vegetarian cooking made me to explore the desi Pizzas on an electric cooker. All you need is the pizza base which is nowadays available in most Indian metros for Rs. 7.5, the sauce, and vegetables to embellish it. I love using onion, tomatos, bell-peppers, american corn (frozen variety), and topping it with oregano and parsley, and final layer of vegetarian Pizza Cheese. Bake for 10 minutes flat, and a crispy medium sized pizza is ready. The cost comes to about 30 rupees for a pizza, all inclusive. I brought two of them to work yesterday, and it turned out to be a great hit! I hope to share other recipes with you folks in future.

Crazy things are happening in NOIDA

The last week of December is often ending up bizarre. A couple of years ago, the Tsunami hit like anything, snuffing away millions of lives in Asia. The recent serial killing in NOIDA - where I have been living since May 2004 seems to be horrendous. Poor migrant workers, trying to eke out a living were losing kids, often any from the age of 3 to 20. The story has unfolded and two persons have been arrested. Police apathy, and system failure to give any hearing to the woes of the poor and disempowered parents is something that shocks most of us, but this story has really jolted me out.

I am deeply saddened by the happenings.

When will we be humanitarian?
