Breakfast

A breakfast bite that has both chai and chocolate in a muffin form, along with whole wheat flour and dark chocolate chips – need I say more? If you haven’t tried out our brand-new product: Chai Masala Hot Cocoa, you have to NOW! Don’t mean to toot my own horn, but honestly, it is one the most versatile blends I have worked with. This is a collaboration with Toska Chocolates – an artisanal bean to bar chocolate maker, that makes the finest bits of heaven in delightful flavor combinations. Our hand pound chai masala based on Ayurveda swirled with artisanal cocoa and demerara sugar makes it a beautiful mix that is versatile to use – swirl into warm almond milk for a vegan night cap, mix into your coconut milk based smoothie or cold milkshake and sprinkle with berries on top!

And another gorgeous option – swirl into muffin mixture for the ideal warm and soothing breakfast start! A simple recipe that uses honey and whole wheat flour and a good dose of the Masala Chai Cocoa Mix. This is great for kids – as the blend of masala chai has all the right spices that help soothe the digestive system and build immunity.

One recipe yields 12 normal sized muffins – should last a good 4 days in an airtight container, and if you’d like to store for longer, recommend keeping in the fridge, and bringing out to room temperature before warming just slightly in the oven at 200C for 6-7 mins.

Butter + Jam Bread Pudding

This is my easy-peasy kid’s breakfast morning recipe. It works wonders with all age groups though and I have once added rum-soaked raisins as well, or hints of orange zest, an added lashing of brandy, sometimes allspice, sometimes frozen berries for a red jolt. I’ve never made anything easier, that made a huge impact. When I serve this in the morning, I also pair it with hot chocolate and create a bar with toppings – caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, nuts, sprinkles, chai spices, maple syrup and whipped cream – which work as toppings for both items. And let me tell you, the kids have a jolly good time!

This is a delicious quick meal that can be had at any time of the day and perhaps one of my most favourite. Once I had an olive baguette that I used, and ever since, I’ve been adding olives into the egg batter. The dash of Worcestershire sauce is like a Welsh rarebit recipe – and adds a dash of oomph. Lots of herbs and chilies and then the best part is – lots of cheese on top – until nice golden and crispy! Eat as is, with sides of ketchup or hot sauce, some Dijon works too!

Pineapple Mithai Oatmeal

Oatmeal in a mithai flavour format? This is a real killer with the elderly who love sweets, but need a bit of fibre alongwith. I make the oatmeal the old-fashioned way in water with a pinch of salt, and for flavour i char-grill pineapple bits, add kesar, elaichi, badam and pista. If you like, add a dash of malai at the end and stir well! All the richness without the guilt!
