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. Do let me know in the comments below how you like this recipe 😊😊😊.

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/   ...

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/ ...

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  🤭🤭 .

Black Channa Curry

This delicious black gram curry is perfect for a quick lunch meal. It's a one pot meal bursting with flavors and an excellent substitute for a meaty meal day. Black gram is an excellent source of protein and fiber and has many health benefits.  I learnt this recipe from my mom and simply love to have this with some hot steamed rice or puttus. Well, in our house this is usually combined with some hot steamed puttus with the entire family sitting around the dinning table and chattering away stories. During navratri my mom would boil them and stir them in some coconut oil with some mustard and green chills and garnish with some coconut to serve as an offering to the goddesses. Growing up I loved to nibble on these as snacks while studying for my test or just binge on it while watching TV. So read on to the recipe and let me know how much you liked it in the comments below 😊😊😊 Press En...

Palak Moong Dal

Dal (Lentil) is one comfort food that I really love eating anytime of any day. It's so versatile, you can add anything you want in it and it promises to give you the same amount of comfort as a plain dal. Just some nice tadka and it's good to go. Personally this is a childhood dish that my mom used to make because I used to hate moog dal. I know! It's hard to believe, someone can hate dal. She used to make this amazing version of dal with palak (spinach) and coconut that I just fell in love with. I hope you will also love this version of my childhood dal and try it at home.  😊 😊 😊 View this post on Instagram A post shared by soulfood with shreya (@kandykurries) on Apr 3, 2020 at 5:55am PDT SERVES: 4 TIME TO COOK: 30 min INGREDIENTS: ¼ cup moong dal 2 cup palak (roughly chopped) 1 onion (finely chopped) 4 cloves garlic (smashed) 1 green chili (finely chopped) ¼ cup grated coconut 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp jeera ½ tsp chili powder ...
