Pineapple Mithai Oatmeal

Prep 1

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!

INSTRUCTIONS

1 Place a pan on high heat

2 Then add the pineapple to grill for a 4-5 minutes until nicely charred

3 Then add the sugar and stir

4 Push the pineapple to one side and add the oats to toast gently for a few minutes

5 Then stir them together and add pinch of salt, kesar and stir

6 Then add the water little by little, continuously stirring

7 At the end add the nuts, cardamom and some milk and stir well

8 Serve warm with an additional splash of milk or maple syrup / honey if you need.

Poached Plum Oatmeal

Plum season is here and a poached plum is quite desirable in the cool early mornings. pairing with good old fashioned oatmeal, i love this hearty breakfast. i drizzle more honey than necessary to combat the tart plums, and the crunch of pistachios on top is the best!

Olive + Cheese French Toast

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!

Pumpkin Leek + Sage Frittata

Whenever I get my hands on a packet of fresh herbs I like to use them up in all ways possible before they get spoilt. Sage is one of my favourite – goes in eggs, pastas, potatoes, cocktails, into a syrup, on fruit with some salt and sugar – the possibilities are endless. But my honest favourite way is pairing sage with pumpkin – a match made in true heaven. I sauté up the pumpkin slices with garlic, leeks and then the sage is added in for its delightful warm, peppery delicious flavours. The egg batter goes in with some peas and cheese and always, always a pinch of nutmeg to make a delicious frittata. I have this for dinner multiple times a month – but if you have a brunch party – go ahead whip this one up!
