Crispy Green lentil and spinach roasted balls

Hey,

This is quite a innovative dish that i created following series of goof ups. It all started with me creating a good lentil salad. So I had kept my ingredients ready to be mixed into the lentils for the salad and bam, the lentils after 3-4 whistles got a bit mashed. O well I did not anticipate that at all. Thank god I did not mix all the stuff together would have felt very disappointed. But I…

Classic veg.sweet corn soup

Hey,

Well this is my most favourite soup I make this quite often and it is very tasty and healthy. I have used a lot of vegetables in this soup that makes it all the more colorful and power packed. The thickening agent I have added here is corn flour which gives you a great consistency. Usually I do not add corn flour because mostly I make soup which is blended and I add almond milk.

To make this…

Courgette Cottage Cheese Fritters

Hi Guys ,

Today I tried this Courgette Fritters and to my surprise it taste simply “wow”. I am surprised because I had tried making spinach, cottage cheese potato fritters just a while back and it failed badly because there was no binding factor to the fritters so it ended up breaking when I tried to shallow fry. When I checked couple of recipes on few blogs mostly they had mentioned to use egg.…

Pad thai noodles seasoned with coconuts mint and peanuts!

I tried this really simple and healthy pad thai noodles with a very interesting combination. I tried mixing mint with coconuts and ground peanuts and sautéed the vegetables with it and the result was perfect. The flavour of mint elevates the taste of the noodles and makes it very refreshing. This dish is perfect when you do not feel like making anything elaborate but yet looking to have a easy…

That was the first time I heard it and it sounded very interesting. Maftoul is nothing but Palestinian Couscous made of wheat (Giant Couscous). It is healthy, spongy and tasty. It has to be cooked in boiling water for couple of minutes to make it soft.…
