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!

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 👌.  ...

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.

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/   ...

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 ...

Glühwein / Mulled wine

Glühwein or mulled wine is a German/Austrian holiday drink that most people have during the winter season. This   alcoholic beverage is a must-have during the festive season here. Interestingly, this wine is also known as glow wine as it is warm and when you drink it, it makes you glow from the inside. It's a warm & cozy wine infused with spices and citrusy flavours which is perfect for the cold and freezing winter weather. I stumbled upon this wine during my first Christmas in the Netherlands last year (2019). They were lighting the Christmas tree at the city center and the streets were crowded and lined by food carts selling delicious Christmas treats, desserts and warm  Glühwein. This year however, we are under a strict lockdown due to the ongoing pandemic and with everything shutdown we couldn't experience the beautiful Christmassy vibe outdoors. So, I decided to bring the Christmas vibe indoors and made my own batch of this cozy, warm drink. So, here you ...

Sweet potatoes are my one of my favorites. It brings me joy very much like candy for children 😁😁😁 and I had some leftover from a previous recipe on this particular day.

Pulikachal (spiced tamarind paste)

Pulikachal in Tamil literally translates to  puli  meaning tamarind and  kachal  meaning an extract made by vigorous boiling. This is a very common spice mix found in South-Indian households and is normally used as a substitute for pickle. My mom is a huge fan of this flavor. In fact, she loves anything that combines spicy, tangy and sweet (who doesn't 😋!). The combination of curd-rice and pulikachal is simply mind blowing. As kids, whenever there wasn't anything interesting to go with our rice, my mom would just mix this in and make a wonderful dish known as Puliodarai (tamarind spiced rice). So, read on to find out how this tangy, spicy and flavor packed condiment is made. Enjoy and let me know in the comments below how you find this recipe. 😊😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdoVUDDpht/ SERVES: 8-10 ...
