Breakfast Egg Muffin Cups

This is the perfect protein-packed quick and simple meal for a busy day. If you are trying to cut out carbs for a low carb or keto diet, this is definitely the dish to be on your list. 
I find eggs to be the most versatile protein sources available. You can just add your favourite toppings or ingredients to it and you are good to go. Be it shakshuka, frittata, omelette or poached eggs it's always a meal to look forward to. However, you don't always want to spend a lot of time prepping your meal and you feel like whipping up a quick one. These eggs are the one for such moments. Add all your ingredients in a bowl, mix it, add some of your preferred spices, pour it into the mould and bake. Your breakfast is ready to go! Hope you enjoy. 😁

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 ...

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.   ...

Roasted Arbi in Mustard and Coconut Base Curry

Arbi/Taro is a really easy to cook and delicious root vegetable. Just like potatoes, you can cook it in a variety of ways from just boiling them to add in your salad with some nice seasoning to frying them to make chips. This was the first time I tried cooking with mustard paste so this recipe was quite experimental for me and I really wanted to try this for a long time. So, with some good online research and zest I successfully created this really delicious dish. Hope you enjoy it too. ...

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.

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 ...

Broccoli Parmesan Fritters

Broccoli is a vegetable that I rarely use in my meals. I just kind of don't know how to make them properly and I feel nervous to make them simply as its own dish. On this day, I had ½ of my broccoli left in the fridge and it was about to go bad, and since I was already done with lunch, I decided to make a healthy snack to go with my evening tea. That's how I came up with the idea to make these fritters. With, an experimental mind and the nervousness of failing I gave it a shot. Not only did it turn out to be amazing, it was very light and full of flavor. This dish can also be made as a broccoli cheela and eaten as breakfast. It's super delicious and yummy. 😋😋😋 ...
