CHICKEN SWEET POTATO LASAGNA

Hi,
When comes to an contest we all will come to know what our capability is! Contests helps us to think beyond our limits :) So it is always good in participating contests ,winning and not winning is secondary.When Italian concept is announced by ButterBetter I first thought of not participating and at last minute I suddenly thought of this idea and gave a try.The lasagna was so yummy and it served our whole family for breakfast.The recipe of such filling dish is below.

INGREDIENTS :
Minced chicken – 200 gms.
Pizza sauce or Spaghetti sauce – 7 tablespoon.
Mozzarella cheese – 100 gms.
Eggs – 2 numbers.
Dried parsley or any topping of your choice – 1/2 teaspoon.
Salt – as required.
Pepper – 2 teaspoon.
Pasta – 1 cup.
Water – 1/4 cup.
Paneer – 100 gms.
Sweet potato – 5 slices.

METHOD :
  1. In a pan add minced chicken and fry in medium flame till it changes to brown colour and moisture evaporates completely.
  2. Now add pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce ,salt , 1/2 tsp pepper to chicken and cook in low flame for 5 minutes.When chicken and sauce blends with each other well ,remove from flame and keep it aside till use.
  3. In a bowl add grated cheese , grated paneer , eggs , toppings , salt , pepper and mix well.
  4. Pre-heat your oven to 170”C for 35 mins.
  5. In your baking tray spread one layer of chicken mixture , then followed by a layer of pasta , then with cheese mixture . 
  6. Again repeat the layering first with chicken mixture , then with pasta and then with cheese mixture . Repeat the process till the tray is filled.
  7. Finally place the sliced sweet potato on the top and sprinkle some toppings ,pour the water along the edges of the tray and bake in pre-heated oven for 35 mins.
  8. After 35 mins of baking or when the potatoes edges shrinks ,remove from flame and serve hot.
NOTES :
  1. Adding sweet potato is optional , the lasagna will taste great even without potatoes.
  2. Don't pour the water in the middle of the mixture always pour along the edges , this helps in avoiding burnt edges and also prevents lasagna from turning mushy.
  3. You can replace pasta with lasagna noodles or your favorite noodles or macaroni.
     HAPPY COOKING!!!

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
