Shakshuka


Just an amazing way to makes eggs!!! I had never made eggs like this before. I'm not at all a morning person, and if I do manage to wake up super early, I want my breakfast to be high in protein and be something that keeps me full for the rest of the day. I usually have an omelette with some mushrooms and cheese in the morning, but ever since I stumbled upon this dish, I wanted to try it out. So, this morning I quickly googled the recipe and whipped out an amazing breakfast shakshuka. As is my style, I have added some extra spices in my version, but feel free to avoid them and make it your own. Read on below to find out how to make my version of this amazing shakshuka. 😋😋😋

Nei Appam

Nei appam in Tamil literally translates as nei meaning ghee and appam meaning pancake. It's a traditional sweet made during auspicious events like kartikai, gokulastami and other auspicious events and is a great snack for kids. The recipe is very simple and quick to make with very few ingredients. Just the sweet aroma of ghee and fried appam that fills the kitchen when cooking is mouthwatering.  This is one of my favourites among South-Indian treats. During traditional festivals at home, my amma would make nei appams along with a feast and me and my sister would stand besides her hogging on these hot out of the pan. Now that I'm married and living with my husband, I make these delicious treats at home while my husband stands next to me and hogs on them  🤭🤭 . Read on below to know how to make these yourself and enjoy the amazing soul satisfying treats.  😋😋😋 Press Enter and i...

Sri Lankan Prawns Curry

I have tried prawns in a variety of preparation styles and flavours but making this Sri Lankan style curry was my first. As always I was very excited to try out something new with a new combination of flavours and using a different variety of ingredients. This juicy prawns curry infused with the Sri Lankan spice mix I made from scratch and coconut milk base was exactly what I needed after a super hectic day. Traditionally you add the prawns heads into the curry for an additional depth of flavour. However, I had bought some pre-cleaned prawns from the market which had their heads removed so could not add the heads. In this recipe I have nevertheless written how to use the prawns heads in the preparation.  The curry definitely came out amazing and simply mesmerising. Hope you enjoy the recipe as much as I did.

Turkish Bread with Za'atar Spice and Baba Ghanoush Dip

I came across Turkish bread for the first time after I moved to the Netherlands and I bought it from a Turkish shop near my place. Absolutely fell in love with it! The softness and flavours were just amazing and right then I decided I am going to try making my own batch. This is absolutely lovely and versatile; you can pair it with anything. You can make a bruschetta, pair it with some shrimp salad or have it with some dip like hummus and baba ghanoush.

Pitaya Smoothie Bowl

A smoothie bowl is a quick, easy to make, one bowl meal packed with a lot of nutrition and flavour. It is the perfect start to your day with an energy packed breakfast. I strongly believe that your meal needs to look as beautiful as it tastes and the bright colour of pitaya or dragon fruit is perfect for this. Pitaya is an excellent source of antioxidants, low in calories and a nutrient dense fruit. It doesn't have much of a natural flavour to it, which is why it is perfect when mixed with a variety of frozen fruits like banana, mango and berries. This makes an excellent and delicious bowl for your breakfast or snack. Frozen banana creates a creamy sweet base, while mango gives a classic tropical fruity flavour. If you prefer your smoothie to be more creamy like me, freeze all the fruits and add little ice. You can also add some protein powder if you want to add a bit more nutrition to your smoothie 👌.  ...

Black Channa Curry

This delicious black gram curry is perfect for a quick lunch meal. It's a one pot meal bursting with flavors and an excellent substitute for a meaty meal day. Black gram is an excellent source of protein and fiber and has many health benefits.  I learnt this recipe from my mom and simply love to have this with some hot steamed rice or puttus. Well, in our house this is usually combined with some hot steamed puttus with the entire family sitting around the dinning table and chattering away stories. During navratri my mom would boil them and stir them in some coconut oil with some mustard and green chills and garnish with some coconut to serve as an offering to the goddesses. Growing up I loved to nibble on these as snacks while studying for my test or just binge on it while watching TV. So read on to the recipe and let me know how much you liked it in the comments below 😊😊😊 Press En...

Raw Papaya Sabzi

This dish holds a very special place for me and it comes with a special story attached.  I was out with my mom a few days ago, shopping for groceries, when I saw some raw papaya and asked her if we can make curry with it. The way she looked at me in that moment told me that there was some story attached to this question. Later, when we were preparing for lunch at home, I asked her about it and she shared a piece of her childhood memory with me.  Growing up, her family was very poor and could not afford the luxuries that are accessible to us today. Most of what they used to eat was grown around them or they bartered with the neighbors. Papaya curry was one of the dishes that they often prepared which she shared with her 9 siblings.  Her story made me realize how blessed we all are today to be able get what we want in our lives and for that I am grateful. So I prepared this recipe for her and to dedicate it to the hardships she went through to get to where she is today an...
