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. πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜Š

SERVES: 4
PREP TIME: 10 mins

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. ...

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 ...

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.  πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ Press Enter and i...

Roasted Chicken & Sweet Potato in Coconut Curry

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. It was really pleasant outside with some nice weather and that inspired me to combine some of my favorite things together. Thus, this recipe was born. The amazing roasted chicken wonderfully infused with spices cooked in coconut milk along with some sweet potatoes is simply the best combo I have tasted. This was the first time I tried something like this and I am glad to report it won't be the last. Unlike most of my recipes that are inspired from some existing dishes, this was something completely new I tried for myself and wow! it simply blew my mind and brought happiness to my soul πŸ˜πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜.

Kashmiri Dum Aloo

This dish is very famous in the northern part of India (Kashmir). Dum Aloo is a beautiful delicious potato dish cooked in a creamy yogurt gravy. My memories with Dum Aloo goes way back to my childhood days. This recipe is dedicated to my late aunt who was this amazing cook and the purest soul ever. The moment she knew we are visiting she would make this dish with hot parathas and peas pulao for us. The aroma of Dum Aloo would reach us even before we stepped inside her house. It was truly amazing! Sadly she passed away a few years ago when she lost her battle with cancer. So, in memory of her and to honor her love for cooking I dedicate this dish to my aunt Mani. Thank you for introducing me to this dish. I hope you are happy and at peace wherever you are. ...

Galette (Sweet & Savoury versions)

Recently I was talking with my best-friend and discussing about new recipes and how well things are going with my page, when she introduced me to this amazing dish that's been trending and wanted me to give it a try. Me being an amateur at baking and zero experience, wasn't sure how it would turn out. So, I went online and looked for the recipe and decided to give it a try πŸ™‚. As my first attempt, I made these small ones so that if I fail not much will be wasted and it would be less of a disappointment. I didn't have unsalted butter with me so I used sated ones and just did not add any salt in the dough. Also added a little sugar to it just for a slight extra flavour. Then, while it was baking, my oven broke down with just 10 mins left on it, leaving me completely heartbroken. I thought for a while and came up with a way to salvage it. I added it as a tip to the end of my recipe. So read on to find out how I saved my recipe. πŸ˜œπŸ˜œ ...

Rainbow Salad Bowl

For the longest time I couldn't understand how people can have just a bowl of salad for lunch and be full. It just didn't register. Coming from a country that loves food and where food is an expression of love itself, it was too difficult for my teeny tiny brain to comprehend. It's only when I moved to Europe and experienced my first salad bowl that I truly understood. It felt like a nice warm hug during gloomy days. I completely agree that salads can be boring sometimes and just not as tasty as you would want it to be, that's why I try my best to make my bowls interesting and delicious every time. Now, even my mom is a fan of my salad bowls. I keep adding and experimenting with the dressing and this time I just tried my first ever roasted and stirred rainbow salad bowl. Hope you like it. πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ˜Š ...

Chickpea Veggie Salad with Pesto-Hummus Dip

While pesto and hummus combo sounds a bit strange, believe me it works wonders! The creamy texture of hummus and flavour of pesto is just finger licking good. This dip is one of my favorites of all time. I have used it in almost everything, be it salads, sandwiches, dosa wraps or crackers it just gels well. Speaking of gelling, I fell in love with hummus when I visited a Greek Restaurant that had newly opened near my place in India and I was fascinated by it's interiors and food menu. Since I had no idea at that time what exactly a mediterranean dish was, I remember ordering a pita bread with hummus platter. The first bite of the pita bread dipped in hummus was just amazing! My words can't express those feelings. Sadly they closed down after few years. So, I tried my hand at creating this amazing dip for the first time with my falafal and hummus recipe and graduated to different varieties of hummus now. This is my take on hummus and I hope you like this recipe and enjoy it...

Falafal Flatbread with Classic Hummus & Veggie Topping

These are perfect as a snack or a party platter. I love falafal and falafal in the form of a flatbread is just wow.  There is no actual falafal in this recipe but the ingredients used to make falfal like chickpea, cumin, garlic, parsley, coriander, olive oil are used to make this flat bread.  I used hummus and some salad veggies as topping and just fell in love with it. You can also use yogurt or muhammara dip. I actually used two kinds of dip here, on one of the flat breads I added some pizza sauce to the base with salad vegges as topping and for the second one I used hummus. I honestly loved both of them. You can pick your favorite 😊😊.  It was a complete hit with my family and friends and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Hope you all enjoy this recipe as mush as we did.
