Tamarind Prawns

Came up with this a couple of nights ago, we don’t have much groceries left and I couldn’t be bothered driving out to stock up the fridge. So the ingredients may sound a little strange, feel free to substitute as necessary.

Chicken Deli Slices with cream cheese and Ajvar

A friend at work introduced me to Ajvar. Ajvar is a chutney made out of blended grilled vegetables. It’s addictive and I’ve had a tablespoon or so of Ajvar with almost every meal ever since I received a bottle of it! This is one of my favourite ways of eating Ajvar. It’s a really good snack, low in carb but super tasty.

Egg white Mayonnaise

If you made my Garlic Mayo recipe, you’re probably wondering what to do with the egg whites. This is more of a traditional mayo and is really easy to whip up. It’s thick and glossy and would be lovely as a sandwich filling mixed with some chopped roast chicken and avocados. 

Garlic Mayonnaise

Why would anyone buy crappy mayo in jars? Mayo is so easy to make at home, it literally takes minutes. If you’re have trouble, try leaving the eggs in a warm water for about 5 minutes before cracking them. Having the yolks at room temperature or just slightly warmer will really help.

Easy Butter Paneer

Another really easy recipe, inspired by my favourite Vah Chef. Made a few changes, but it’s still super tasty and goes brilliantly with roti. For a super yummy snack, stuff leftover butter paneer between 2 slices of bread with some grated cheese and toast in a sandwich maker. They come out like paneer samosas.

Cauliflower Mash

I know this sounds a little strange, but it was so tasty and such a great way to trick someone into having their vegetables!

Parmesan Chicken Tenders

If you’re allergic to breadcrumbs, this is a great recipe for you. Cut the chicken into smaller pieces for ‘popcorn chicken’, or flatten out some chicken breasts for a yummy chicken parmigiana. You could even do this with fish or prawns.
