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!

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. I paired mine with some creamy baba ghanoush and a generous garnish of za'atar spices. The best part about creating this dish was that it was so simple and easy to make. In my head I had inflated the difficulty too much and was expecting some really hard and tricky process to it, but it turned out to be so simple! Not to forget the excitement I got when it came out as amazing as I was expecting. SOFT, FLUFFY AND DELIUCIOUS! So, read on to know how I made this amazing bread with a simple and fool proof method. ...

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.

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 👌.  ...

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/   ...

Pavakkai Pitlai

Pavakkai is Tamil for Karela or Bitter Gourd and as the name suggests, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about this vegetable is it's bitterness. Very few people love this taste and we generally avoid it in our regular meals, but with a bit of love and cooked properly with the right spices this vegetable can be quite interesting and inviting. Pavakkai Pitali is common in South Indian cuisine and it's something I have also grown up with at my house. It's made with a tangy and mildly spicy tamarind base gravy that is quite similar to sambar but with some additional spices and some roasted coconut.  I would definitely recommend this dish to all the haters of bitter gourd and welcome them to fall in love with it. Do let me know in the comments below how you liked this recipe. 😊😊😊 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqfRXQDEMj/ SERVES: 4-5 ...

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 ...
