Breakfast

This is another recipe in collaboration with the boys at Organic Farmers Co. This recipe is as Indian as can be, and if you’ve been following me for a while, you will notice a lack of Indian recipes. I only share what I eat regularly, and make with true joy and love. Having been raised in different countries, my tastes are more inclined to other cuisines; besides, there are far better Indian books and blogs out there to follow for unique Indian recipes. However, I will lap up every morsel of good spicy curry (I love spicy food more than anyone in my family) and biryani. And every once in a while, I try to challenge myself, playing with Indian spices and dishes.

A real healthy version of savoury pancakes made with quinoa flour, milk and Indian spices, and served with Indian chutneys and pickle, and you’re good all set for an easy-breezy breakfast.

For an extra effort, hence mile, add in some grated carrots or beetroots, coriander… whatever you want.

Options: can substitute milk with a dairy-free option like almond milk or soya milk.

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!

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!

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!
