Breakfast Soufflé

I love eggs for breakfast, but Mangy is a little strange. Some days he’ll order poached eggs and thoroughly enjoy them for breakfast. Other days he’ll refuse to eat them, claiming that they’re too eggy. How can eggs not be eggy?? I I try to be open minded about his quirks, but sometimes I wonder about his food habits….just a little too weird for my taste.

Capsicum and Onion Pakoras

Ohh…what do you do when it is raining, dark and gloomy? You make chai and pakoras of course!

Waffles

My brother is visiting at the moment and as he’s my only sibling (hopefully – my dad was a flower child, so you’d never know), I’ve been spoiling him quite a bit. He was pretty hung over on Friday morning, so I thought waffles would wake him up a bit. Aren’t I sweet (awww..)?

Corn Pakoda

My baby brother (he’s 25!) is here to visit and will be staying with us for a month. So I’ve had to up my game and come with creative solutions to keep him well-fed. When I found this recipe for corn pakoda, I thought it’d be a great way to get rid of the 2 corns ears lying in my fridge AND also get some vegetables into him.

Orange Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Since I was five, my brother and I would prepare breakfast in bed for my mum (breakfast used to be watery lukewarm coffee and soggy toast!).

Appam Balik

I am addicted to the combination of crushed peanuts, sugar and a pinch of salt and will happily eat bowlfuls of this for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and any meal in between!).

Whole Moong Dal / Mung Bean Dosas

Moong Dal or Mung Beans are highly nutritious, low in salt and fat and are full of fiber. So these dosas are a great way to start your day, serve with some idli podi and pickles and you’ve got a winning meal in under 10 minutes.

Low Carb ‘Upma’ (cauliflower)

No, you didn’t misread the title 🙂 This is my take on a low carb upma, and it was awesome! I can’t believe I didn’t try this sooner, but I’m so glad I finally gave it a shot. I think this might be a great way to get kids to eat cauliflower, I doubt they would know the difference!

Rosemary Muffins

Mangy and I are absolutely addicted to rosemary. I’ve been very lucky to have a friend at work who grows masses of rosemary, she’s been keeping me well-supplied!

Pesto Cheese Scones

Mangy came home one night from work and raved about the beautiful pesto scones he had at the cafeteria at work. I asked him to describe it, and he said it was incredibly tasty and he especially loved the pesto stuffed into the layers. Immediately I started to suspect that something was wrong. Scones with layers?? Huh?
