Caramelized Fig Toast

Everyday I wake up, I look forward to my breakfast. A lot of times I have planned out my dish the previous night and am eager to make it in the morning, sometimes even dreaming about my meal as I am about to wake up 😆😆. Other days I wake up and while I freshen up, all I can think about is what I should prepare as my first meal. Food has always been a very important part of my life. It has shaped me into a person who loves every aspect of a meal.
Earlier this week I had been to the farmer's market with my husband and found some amazing fresh produce one of which were these figs. I immediately wanted to make this fig toast for breakfast the next day and my husband went bonkers from the first bite. I served my fig toast with some amazing ricotta cheese and a beautiful sunny side up egg. I used a nice sesame seed coated bread I got from the bakery for this dish. I hope you enjoy these amazing toast as much as we did 😊.
SERVES: 2
PREP TIME: 5 mins
COOK TIME: 15 mins
  • 2 ripe figs (cut into circles)
  • 2 bread slices
  • ricotta cheese 
  • some lemon zest
  • butter for toasting the bread
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 
  • seeds mix for garnish
  • honey for drizzle
1. Bake Figs: Pre-heat the oven to 200°C. While the oven is getting heated, place the cut figs onto a baking tray and sprinkle some brown sugar and cinnamon on them. Place the tray in the oven and bake the figs for 20 mins.

2.  Make Toasts: In a pan, add some butter, place the bread on them and toast till it gets slightly brown. In a small bowl, whisk some ricotta cheese, some lemon zest and give it a good mix. Take the toast and place it on a plate, spread a generous amount of ricotta cheese. Add the baked figs, drizzle some honey and sprinkle some mixed seeds. 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. ...

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  🤭🤭 .

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 ...

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 ...

Spaghetti in Baba Ganoush Sauce

Baba Ganoush is a beautiful creamy sauce made of smoked egg plant, tahini, garlic, olive oil and spices blended together. I had come across this sauce recipe when I was looking for some inspiration online and wanted to experiment combining it with some spaghetti. So I got a nice fresh egg plant and along with all the other ingredients, I was all set to make the sauce. As a typical desi cook I had serious doubts about bringing this recipe to life. The only time I have used an egg plant is to make baingan barta. So, with an inquisitive mind and excitement I finally gave it a go. 😁😁😁 ...

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/   ...
