Smoked Salmon & Avocado Sandwich with Ricotta Cheese Spread

Every morning I truly look forward to making a beautiful breakfast plate full of nutrition and color. I believe it's really important to start your day with a bright and comforting meal that is not only nutrition and energy packed, but also livens your mood. At the end of the day, what you feed your body reflects immensely on your mind and it helps to start your day with a bright mood.
This week I went to the supermarket and got some really fresh produce including some avocados, smoked salmon and freshly baked bread. I also had some left over oven baked (dehydrated) cherry tomatoes that I made for my salad a day before, which I decided to add to this gorgeous brunch sandwich. 
The combination of the amazing bread and fresh ingredients was completely soul satisfying to say the least. Read on to learn what I used in my sandwich. Try it out and let me know what you think in the comments below.

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. 😋😋😋 ...

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!

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...

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/   ...

Shakshuka

Just an amazing way to makes eggs!!! I had never made eggs like this before. I'm not at all a morning person, and if I do manage to wake up super early, I want my breakfast to be high in protein and be something that keeps me full for the rest of the day. I usually have an omelette with some mushrooms and cheese in the morning, but ever since I stumbled upon this dish, I wanted to try it out. So, this morning I quickly googled the recipe and whipped out an amazing breakfast shakshuka. As is my style, I have added some extra spices in my version, but feel free to avoid them and make it your own. Read on below to find out how to make my version of this amazing shakshuka. 😋😋😋 View this post on Instagram A post shared by soulfood with shreya (@kandykurries) on Apr 14, 2020 at 11:57pm PDT SERVES: 2 PREP TIME: 15 mins COOK TIME: 20 mins 2 eggs 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 2½ tomato (1 finely chopped & 1½ pureed) ½ cup mushrooms ...

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...

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. ...

Overnight Oats Bowl with Fruits

This is a super simple and super delicious breakfast idea. It's the best breakfast when you are in a rush and have no time to make your meal. You can prepare everything you need for this on the previous day. For me, this is also an amazing source of pre-workout calories because I'm always hungry right before my workouts. It can also be a really amazing desert if you like puddings. I always prepare this the night before and keep it in the fridge so that I can enjoy a nice chilled oats pudding in the morning. I don't add any sweeter, just raisins and fruits and let their natural sweetness leech into the pudding. For some crunch I also sprinkle some nuts and seeds. ...

Beetroot Kadhi With Crispy Bhindi

Kadhi are one of the easiest and quickest dishes ever made. In this rendition of the dish, inspired from a recipe by @cupcakeree , I have tried my hand at giving the traditional Gujrati kadhi a slight twist by adding some beetroot to give it a beautiful fuchsia colour. The crispy fried bhindi (okra) and sweet tangy kadhi combo was simply amazing. I served them with some steamed red rice and it was a big hit at lunch.  My dad isn't a big fan of kadhi and tries his best to avoid anything with a yogurt base, but to my surprise he relished his meal and that was the best compliment for me. He not only loved it but also kept asking for more. All I can say is, "mission success!!" 😁😁. Try it out for yourself and let me know your take on it in the comments below.
