Egg Bites


This recipe is perfect for an evening snack or even as a fun breakfast. I normally don't enjoy making the same kind of omelette or scrambled egg every time and am always looking for different ways to make my eggs. Some very rare days, when I'm in super hurry, I might fall back to a traditional recipe, but generally, nope! I was watching how unniappams are made one day and it just sparked this fun way for me to make my eggs. It's just so simple and such an amazing way to eat. I gobbled 4 or 5 of them just because they were so delicious. Well, for this recipe you will need an unniappam mold which, unless you are South Indian, is unlikely, but that's how I got the shape. I also whisk the eggs more than usual before adding the veggies to make them extra fluffy. 😊😊😊

SERVES: 4
 PREP TIME: 10 mins
 COOK TIME: 10 mins
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 small tomato (finely chopped)
  • 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
  • 1 spring onion (green part finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup cabbage (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup carrot (finely chopped)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • coriander leaves
1. Whisk and add Ingredients: Break the eggs in a big bowl, whisk it well and add the veggies with some salt and pepper. Mix well.
2. Cook: Add some butter/ghee/oil in an unniappam mold and pour in the eggs in them. Make sure you pour only half way because the eggs will rise when it cooks. Cook this on a low to medium heat for 2 mins. Carefully flip the eggs, and cook for a min. Your egg bites are ready to snack on!

Puttu with Kadala Curry

Puttu is a staple breakfast dish in south India popular in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. "Puttu" means portioned in Malayalam. It is a very filling and hearty breakfast dish made with rice flour mixed with salt water and typically steamed in a puttu steamer with coconut shavings in between. Sometimes a bit of jaggery powder is also added to make it a bit sweet. My husband loves to eat puttu with elaichi bananas or other small bananas; mixing it with the puttu. I came across this dish after I got married into a Malayali household and got exposed to a lot of Kerala recipes and dishes. My mother-in-law makes really amazing puttu and Kadala curry. So, after I moved here to the Netherlands I wanted to give this a try. I didn't have a puttu steamer, so I asked my mother-in-law and she gave me the idea to steam it inside a coconut shell which is also a popular traditional method of cooking. It was totally worth all the effort and to be honest it was really ...

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/   ...

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.

Peach Galette

It's my first summer in the Netherlands and I wanted to make good use of the fresh summer fruits that have become available in all the supermarkets. I love peaches and with an abundance of this fruit on the shelves, I decided to make one of my favourite pastry dishes. The first time I made a galette, I made sweet potato stuffing and you can find the recipe here . That was my first time baking during which I had my oven break down and I had to improvise baking with my pressure cooker. I have explained this hack on my previous post . Since then, I have moved back to the Netherlands and finished setting up my kitchen. So, I wanted to test out my recently learnt baking skills and I also wanted to serve an amazing dessert for my husband who has a major sweet tooth. So, I hope you enjoy the recipe as much as my husband and I did. Have fun! 😁😁😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_bvBQjp6s/ ...
