Diwali Breakfast - Pohe

Ambotik

Inspired by the very famous Martins Corner's shark ambotik that we couldn't get enough of in Goa, I gave this goan recipe a shot. Frugal cook that I am, I used some leftover roasted salmon. Mistake! Because there was no “fishy” flavour to the curry. But the curry was excellent. Definitely trying it again with shark from the wet market here.

Cheesecake Brownies

I made this brownie on Friday for a halloween party with the neighbours. It was a big hit. I followed this recipe here. I got lazy and didn't whip the creem cheese or the eggs, maybe that's why I got a really dense brownie. The batter was thick and would not spread. Next time, I'll bring the processor out and beat the ingredients well. I'll take the time to make pretty cheese swirls too.

Yum!

More of that yummy yogurt with super sweet Korean strawberries.

Hello Blog!

I’m being bombarded with so many different cuisines here in Singapore that I thought it was about time I resurrect this blog. I’m having a food fest here trying out all kinds of food. So here goes!

French Bread Rolls

Easy and simple and a no fail recipe. I made these yesterday. Next time I'm going to replace the white stuff with whole wheat flour and see how that works.

Broken Wheat Congee

These days I'm eating this for breakfast. I find this keeps me full till lunch without making me reach for that cookie.

Recipe:-)
Boil broken wheat and sprouted beans/lentils with plenty of water till tender, mix seasonal veggies and season as per taste.

Papaya Puree

My eight month old baby loves this for breakfast.

New Found Hobby: Baking

Have been on a baking spree this week.

First came the Brownies from scratch
Then there was delicious, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, 220 cals for one chocolate chip cookies
Then came the pizza for dinner; tasted better than it looks!
And finally the leftover pizza dough got turned into dinner rolls

New Latte Mugs

Love the paisly design on them.

Ethiopian Thali

No, it is not called a thali. I added that as I think that word describes this meal so well.
A and I are just back from our Washington DC trip. This picture is of an Ethiopian meal we ate at a restaurant called Meskerem. A ordered a mixed platter and I got the Chicken dish. The meal was served on a layer of soft bread called Injera, and this was placed on a straw table. The texture of the bread reminded me of our dosa. It was also served on the side to tear and eat. There are no utensils used and everything is enjoyed with fingers.

I have forgotten the names of all the dishes now. There was chicken, beef, lamb, mashed potato, some chutney like thing and a lentil dish. (Tasted so much like plain varan/dal). The food looks spicy but it was not fiery at all.

Vegetarians will be happy here as well as Ethiopian cuisine consists of a number of vegetarian dishes.
