Rainbow Salad Bowl

For the longest time I couldn't understand how people can have just a bowl of salad for lunch and be full. It just didn't register. Coming from a country that loves food and where food is an expression of love itself, it was too difficult for my teeny tiny brain to comprehend. It's only when I moved to Europe and experienced my first salad bowl that I truly understood. It felt like a nice warm hug during gloomy days. I completely agree that salads can be boring sometimes and just not as tasty as you would want it to be, that's why I try my best to make my bowls interesting and delicious every time. Now, even my mom is a fan of my salad bowls. I keep adding and experimenting with the dressing and this time I just tried my first ever roasted and stirred rainbow salad bowl. Hope you like it. 😊😊😊 ...

Mackerel Curry

I recently discovered this recipe on my usual inspiration hunt online and decided to give it a try. During my grocery run at the city centre before, I decided to have a look at the fresh fish store and got some amazing looking mackerel filets. I had not decided on the recipe at that moment, but then I happened to have everything at home for this recipe and things simply fell into place. Normally I am into masaledar, spicy and coconutty fish curries but this time I did not have any coconut milk at home and I was also feeling a bit lazy with my cooking. This recipe was an absolute delight for my mood with an amazing tangy, sour flavour of tamarind and vinegar and a slight sweetness of jaggery. Quick and simple! Totally worth it and definitely recommended.  Press Enter and insert Image https://www.instagram.com/p/CI276lADeR5/   ...

Caramelized Fig Toast

Everyday I wake up, I look forward to my breakfast. A lot of times I have planned out my dish the previous night and am eager to make it in the morning, sometimes even dreaming about my meal as I am about to wake up 😆😆. Other days I wake up and while I freshen up, all I can think about is what I should prepare as my first meal. Food has always been a very important part of my life. It has shaped me into a person who loves every aspect of a meal. Earlier this week I had been to the farmer's market with my husband and found some amazing fresh produce one of which were these figs. I immediately wanted to make this fig toast for breakfast the next day and my husband went bonkers from the first bite. I served my fig toast with some amazing ricotta cheese and a beautiful sunny side up egg. I used a nice sesame seed coated bread I got from the bakery for this dish. I hope you enjoy these amazing toast as much as we did 😊. ...

Beef Curry - Kerala Style

This is a special one dedicated to all my malayali friends who go gaga over this traditional spicy beef curry. I have to admit, nothing can  beat the satisfying falvour you get from a comforting bowl of curry  made with this slow cooked beef and perfect blend of spices. My husband had been asking me to make this authentic beef curry since I arrived in the Netherlands so I made this on his demand. Moving to a new country, away from the comfort of spices and blends found in my home country is a little difficult to live with, but this one was not so difficult to pull off, especially since I got a new mixi grinder to grind my own spices 😁. Read on, try out this recipe and enjoy the amazing, comforting beef curry with some freshly made kerala parotas.  Press Enter and insert Image https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3z1JuD1sc/ ...

Hummus and Falafal

Hummus! What can I say about this dish. Creamy, buttery and loaded with flavor! It's a simple dip or spread that can add that oomph to your chips, salads, wraps or truly anything.

Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff

This is a simple summer lunch, deliciously light on the palate and looks beautiful on the plate. I think that kind of rhymed 😁 😁 😁 . If you are a fan of mushrooms then this is the perfect dish for you.  It's creamy & buttery, optionally spiked with a hint of whiskey to add an extra dimension.  I had a early doctor's appointment in the morning and a hair cut scheduled in the afternoon which meant I did not have a lot of time to prepare lunch. So, I wanted to make something quick and simple. I had a box of mixed mushrooms I bought during my grocery trip the other day and realized this was the perfect opportunity to try out my recipe. The creamy sauce with toasted mushrooms along with some fresh herbs and garlic on a bed of spaghetti made for an amazing lunch. So, read on to learn how I made my creamy mushroom stroganoff and try it out yourself.  Press Enter and insert Image ...

Beetroot Kadhi With Crispy Bhindi

Kadhi are one of the easiest and quickest dishes ever made. In this rendition of the dish, inspired from a recipe by @cupcakeree , I have tried my hand at giving the traditional Gujrati kadhi a slight twist by adding some beetroot to give it a beautiful fuchsia colour. The crispy fried bhindi (okra) and sweet tangy kadhi combo was simply amazing. I served them with some steamed red rice and it was a big hit at lunch.  My dad isn't a big fan of kadhi and tries his best to avoid anything with a yogurt base, but to my surprise he relished his meal and that was the best compliment for me. He not only loved it but also kept asking for more. All I can say is, "mission success!!" 😁😁. Try it out for yourself and let me know your take on it in the comments below.
