I recently discovered this dish has many names. It is called Chikolia/ Chikolya/ Dhal Dhokree/ Chikolee. The last time I remember eating it must have been in my teens – which was many years ago. We usually never have “leftover” dhal because we eat the leftovers with rice. I find cooking dhal quite labour intensive, […]

Overnight oats has become quite the rage. I make various versions of overnight oats on the regular but mostly during Ramadan when I get bored of the usual breakfasts. I first saw this on the menu at Lily’s and thought I need to come back for this, but until then I will try to make

So, I have a confession to make. The first time I tried KFC Zinger Wings was this week. Before that I had only eaten their crunch burger once ( a few years ago) and before that I had only eaten their chips (which are crap by the way). I was surprised by how good the

Sajida is my cousin and saved me from almost disaster as the original Naan recipe I had, used yeast and mine was expired! She

My Mediterranean journey through food is happening this week. Food is such a great way to travel to places when you physically can’t. I haven’t been on an overseas holiday in years and eating different cuisines keeps that wanderlust alive for me. When I ate the Tagine I really felt like I was on holiday

A lot of good things in life are unexpected, just like this salad. I’m not a huge lentil fan (only when it comes to eating dhal and rice) and was quite apprehensive when I made this but I thought the flavor combination would work and it did. Even more unexpected was the fact that hubby

Last week most of my dishes had a Mexican theme and this week got me craving for all things Mediterranean! Tagine is a North-African and Middle Eastern dish of slow cooked meat and dried fruit that gets its name from the conical, clay pot in which it is cooked. I do not own a tagine

If you remember my last weeks grocery haul, I bought 800g of Strawberries for R29.95 from Fruit & Veg to make jam. There is so much refined sugar in ready made jam so I decided to try making my own. At first I thought of making the low carb jam from Low Carb is Lekker
