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)

  • 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 ...

Misal Pao

This is one of the most popular Maharashtrian breakfast, brunch or snack and also one of the most famous street foods. Misal is a spicy dish made with moth beans/matki sprouts or mixed sprouts and served with pao (Indian bun).  There is a very famous restaurant in Thane by the name Mamledar which served the best misal pav where I grew up. Me and my friends would often go there to just binge on a plate of  the spiciest misal pav or as they call it zalzalit misal. This has the spiciest gravy (rassa) with a layer of spicy oil floating on the top. We would always have a competition on who could finish off the misal without sipping water in between. This heated binge session would then always conclude with a glass of nice chilled lassi.  Well, after moving to the Netherlands I missed having this dish and so to relive those moments, I decided to make this super spicy, delicious street food.   ...

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 👌.  ...

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 ...

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.

Egg Dosa Hummus Wrap

Dosa is a staple breakfast in every South-Indian household. There are many ways to make dosa and you can add a lot of different fillings in it. Personally, I love a nice crisp dosa with some masala inside and a nice tangy coconut chutney to go on the side. These flavours are just the perfect combo. A few days ago I made some hummus and there was some still left over and this is what you get when a south Indian makes hummus; a fusion with their staple breakfast. I made this healthy wrap loaded with some delicious mix of veggies and some South Indian spices.
