We love making pizza at home, because it is simple, fun, and way healthier and inexpensive when compared to the readymade sauce that is filled with preservatives.
It literally takes a few minutes to stir up and will make the best pizza ever!

Peanut butter
If you think peanut butter is only for kids, then here are some of its health benefits you should know. The enviable combination of fiber and protein makes it filling. It is packed with nutrition because a serving of peanut butter has powerful antioxidants, vitamin E, magnesium, potassium, and immunity-boosting vitamin B6.
This food is very low in cholesterol and is a good source of Niacin and Manganese and abundant in Omega-3 fatty acids and also Omega-6 fatty acids.
Ingredients
- Peanuts - 150 gms or 1 cup
- Sugar - 1 tsp
- Salt - 1 pinch
- Peanut/Olive oil - 1 tsp
Preparation method
- Heat a pan and roast the peanuts well. Allow it to cool.
- Take a blender, add the roasted and cooled peanuts, sugar, salt and oil.
- Blend it until a smooth paste.
- Store this in an air-tight container and spread it on bread or tortillas/chapatis/.
The peanuts on grinding will leave oil, so do not add more than 1 tsp of oil. This oil is used only to bind the peanut powder together and get the required consistency.
