Recipe:

3-4 eggs
1 medium tomato
1 small onion
4-5 cloves of garlic
4-6 curry leaves
2tbsp mustard seeds
1tbsp sambhar powder (alternately use curry powder)
Salt to taste
Feta to taste

In a cast iron pan or a high heat sustainable glass pan. Put in butter and sizzle mustard seeds until they crack. Add curry leaves and onions and garlic. Cook until soft. Then, add tomatoes and cook with all the spices. Once the fat seems to be separating, create space for eggs and crack them in.

Cook on low heat and partially covered until eggs are cooked.

Sprinkle feta once eggs are cooked to liking.

Done!

Happy Cooking,

Ingredients:
4 cups Milk
2tbsp Vinegar
2 cups almond/cashew milk
5 cups water
1 strand saffron
1 pinch cardamom powder
Sweetener to taste

Boil milk and curdle it with vinegar. Strain through a muslin cloth and keep washing under water. Once strained, strain completely and with the lower palm of your hand, knead and stretch it until super soft. Once done, it should come together like a ball.

Boil water and get to a rolling boil. In the interim, now divide the dough into multiple small balls and make discs. Put into boiling water and let the balls rise as they almost double in size.

Take it out and rest.

In a pan, boil and reduce milk. Add sweetener and put in discs.

Done!

There's something about lamb chops and chives, don't you think?
Heavenly combination and a recipe inspired by Chef Marco Pierre.

Recipe:
6 lamb chops
2 tablespoon better than boullion paste or simply 1 chicken cube + 1tbsp olive oil
2 tablespoon mustard sauce
1 bunch chives finely chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

Marinate lamb chops in salt, pepper, boullion paste or it's alternative specified above. Keep for 10 mins or longer

Heat a pan and fat down, put in lamb chops so it starts to render.

Once it sears (about 7 mins for well done), flip it and on the cooked side, apply mustard sauce. Once the other side is also done (about 5 mins or touch to see if it's stiff), remove from pan and baste in mustard sauce.

Roll the chop in chopped chives.

Putting together this cake for one of my closest friends took lots of love, chocolate, sugar and again, love. I love praline - I add to so many of my desserts and it just takes the flavour so many notches up! The goodness of gooey brownies with big dozes of praline and the flavour of brought together this fantastic cake!
Treat your eyes to this beauty.

Dunked in Coconut & Almond Flour mix with garlic powder, pepper and Piri Piri spice, these shrimps are baked to perfection!
I love shrimps or Prawns (the smaller they are, the more flavourful they get) but you can easily make this with chicken or beef or a firm fish. Try to make this really easy (everything available at home) recipe and tell me how you like it:

Shrimps:
20-30 shrimps
1 tbsp Curry powder (if you don't have it, DM, I'll tell you what you need to mix to make it)
1 tbsp coconut powder or milk or cream
1tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp turmeric powder
2-3 cloves garlic grated
1" ginger grated
Sugar and fish sauce for taste are OPTIONAL
Salt
Pepper

Marinate the shrimps and rest for 30 mins.
Pierce them into skewers and cool in a pan with minimal oil for 3 mins on each side (time varies based on size of shrimp). For the sauce,
2tbsp peanut butter (if you don't have it use real peanuts in a blender with some oil and blend into a paste)
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp chopped Chilis
1" ginger
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp chili sauce

In a bowl, mix everything together and microwave for 2 mins. Pull out every 30 seconds and mix.

Done!!!
Ready to serve. Garnish with scallions and sesame!
