Pot Chimes

Eggs and spinach together, look splendid with their contrasting colours but this is not entirely to appease your tongue but to help you to lose weight.  Spinach with all its goodness will make you feel full and the eggs with their high protein content will keep your hunger at bay and will induce sleep too, hence, this could be a twice-a-week dinner choice if you are trying to shed those extra pounds.    I just sprinkled a dash of salt and a few specks of pepper powder and gobbled them all up but you can splash a bit of chilli sauce, grate cheese on top, scatter chopped green chillies or flavour it with whatever you fancy to make it more appealing to your tastebuds.  However, You must remember, that this is entirely for helping you to lose weight and keep you nourished, essentially keeping the calorie level low. How to make: Just heat a flat pan and brush with olive oil Wash a quarter bag of spinach and drain the water Drop into the pan and let the leaves wilt slightly Now drop the egg

You must have made eggs in every form and shape but have you tried egg curry yet?  If not, try this recipe out and you will love to have it on every weekend as a special treat for the whole family! This recipe is my own version which I kept simple but flavourful. I omitted the usual Indian spices used in this dish because they are not easily available in most of the countries in Europe and America.    Also, some could find the aroma of them too overwhelming.  If you have access to authentic Indian spices such as; cumin powder, coriandar powder and garam masala, feel free to add them in very small amounts for a spicier and an exotic version of the same.    You will love this egg curry, especially in the winter months as it is just right for the season, so comforting and warm. So, let's get started; A pictorial description of the recipe is given at the bottom of this page.

While experimenting on this great taste bud winner, I came across a method to minimize the amount of oil used in it  Instead of deep frying all the ingredients as everyone usually does,  I stir-fried! Surprisingly,  the taste was supreme, despite not being drenched in oil like many available brands on the shop shelves. Taste this once and you will never buy any supermarket brands.  Make a large batch and fill it into a glass bottle and store it in the fridge. It will sit in the fridge fresh and aromatic for about a month.

                     The latest superfood, Kale is rich in vitamins   C and K, iron and also contains vital antioxidants which help in detoxing our system. The challenge is how to make these curly, rough, and dark green leaves appealing to our tastebuds.  Kale cannot be added to salads because they have a quite thick and hard texture which will not be easily digested.  But, once cooked through they become soft and wilted and even ooze out some natural oiliness. I found out that when adding a handful of desiccated coconuts, stir-fried Kale tastes quite delicious and rather addictive.   You can eat the whole lot with steamed hot rice or just on its own.   This Kale recipe is a real joy to try out and you can add the ingredients as you go.  Hence, I did not mention the exact amounts of ingredients needed.    You'll need these few ingredients; Kale leaves 1 large onion A few garlic cloves A couple of dried red chillies A handful of desiccated coconuts - available in supermarkets Salt 1

These cushiony paneer cubes in a pool of delicious, silky gravy is indeed a warm, comforting, and delicious vegetarian dish, that originated in the Indian subcontinent. With hot steamed white rice or with rotis, you can scoop all up; smooth paneer cubes along with creamy gravy, and tuck them all in at once!  Delicious! Paneer is Indian-style cottage cheese and butter panner masala is a creamy curry-style dish made of paneer cubes, tomatoes, spices, onions, garlic, and double cream.  This popular dish is served at any Indian restaurant but I can vouch, that the homemade version is much more delicious and healthy too.  I deliberately avoided using cashews in my recipe because many are allergic to them and partly because of my intention to keep the calorie level low so that this could be a regular dish at home. I suggest that you  gather the necessary spices, panner, and especially Kasoori Methi which is dried fenugreek leaves from an Asian supermarket, and consult the steps given in the
