A typical American breakfast consist of eggs, potatoes, sausage, pancakes, or toast. In India there is no such thing as a typical breakfast, what people eat in the morning differs from one region to another. In North India, a breakfast could consist of masala omelet, aloo parathas (flatbread stuffed with spiced potatoes), and aloo puri (potato curry with deep-fried bread). In South India,people eat steamed rice cakes, crispy rice crepes, and Upma (savory semolina porridge). Though upma ...
Breakfast
Caramalized apple French toast
So far, I’ve shared quite a few savory egg recipes that are perfect for breakfast and brunch such as the frittata, scrambled eggs, and eggs in purgatory, but I have yet to share any sweet breakfast items. Since apple season is in full bloom, I thought this would be the perfect time to share my recipe for a delicious caramelized apple French toast. As I mentioned in a prior post, I absolutely adore weekend brunches. My brunch dishes usually tend to be more savory than sweet, but once in a ...
Eggs poached in fiery tomato sauce (eggs in purgatory)
Weekends are all about recuperating and de-stressing from the hectic week. The best way I know how to do that is by sleeping in, lounging, and brunching. I absolutely adore weekend brunching; since you’re combining breakfast and lunch, you have the perfect excuse to not only eat more food, but also more varieties of foods. I make it a point to brunch out at least every other weekend. First, I take my time scouting places for the best brunch spot, I then check their menu online and call to ...
Smashed beans on toast with poached egg
Does anyone feel like the whole trend of avocado toast is a little overdone? No? Okay great neither do I, but let’s be real here for a second it’s getting a little ridiculous. I recently came across an article on the web called “Millionaire to Millennials: Stop Buying Avocado Toast If You Want to Buy a Home”. In this article, an Australian businessman basically states that millennials can't afford to purchase a home because our money is being wasted on $20 avocado toast. I think the man is ...
Soft scrambled eggs with green onion & chili
Scrambled eggs are usually served up plain with a bit of salt and pepper, delicious but boring. I like to kick up the flavor of usual favorites from time to time. I love plain scrambled eggs if cooked correctly, but sometimes it is nice to jazz things up. Also, I have mentioned this in my delicious veggie frittata post that my husband loves eggs; so, I cook them a lot and I am always coming up with new ways to make eggs delicious. I was recently in one of those jazzy moods. Simply ...
Veggie filled frittata
My husband loves eggs. Eggs could be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and it is not an issue. It is embarrassing to tell people how many cartons of eggs we go through in a week. A more economical thing for us to do would be to get some chickens. But not sure how our dog would feel about having chickens in her backyard and we would require a lot of chickens to keep up with our demand. The husband is not too fond of vegetables. So, my challenge when cooking is how to ...
