Pancakes for breakfast!!!

by Trisha Vaz
Every now and then when my husband and I have the day off and can afford sleeping in and having a late breakfast, one of the things I whip up are some pancakes. This is a recipe that I saw on one of the episodes of a Nigella cooking show, I can’t remember which one. Once I tried this recipe out, I didn’t bother looking for another, its everything I look for in a pancake.

I love that with such minimal prep work and a small amount of time over the stove, you can treat yourself to some gorgeous fluffy pancakes. If you have a home-made fruit syrup to go with it, you’re in luck (I can’t wait to try it with some berries.). If not, the humble jar of honey does wonders for these pancakes.What I also like about this recipe, is that it uses a tiny bit of sugar, so its practically healthy. Whip these up for your Valentine today and rest assured they’ll love it, and love you all the more for it.

Happy Valentine’s Day Everybody!

Pancakes

(Makes 12-15)

225g all purpose flour
2 heaped tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
2 eggs
300 ml. milk
1 tbsp. melted butter

Whisk all the ingredients except the butter to form the batter. Make sure there are no lumps.

Add the melted butter and stir well to incorporate into the batter.

Lightly drizzle a griddle with oil and dollop ladle-fulls of the batter onto the pan. Once you see little bubbles popping all over the surface, flip it over and cook the other side as well.

Serve warm with honey, maple syrup, fruit syrup or anything else you fancy.

Scrambled Cottage Cheese – Paneer Bhurji

by Trisha Vaz
Today I’m going to share with you one of my all time favorite super-quick meal recipe. This takes about 10-15 minutes to throw together and is a vegetarian alternative to scrambled eggs. Don’t let that deceive you. Even though it is a vegetarian option, if you love cottage cheese like I do, you will love this. For all you egg lovers out there, just substitute the cottage cheese with eggs. And within sheer minutes, you will be sitting down to a warm, hearty and healthy meal.

Scrambled Cottage Cheese – Paneer Bhurji

(Serves 4)

250g Cottage Cheese / Paneer
1 medium sized onion, chopped
1 green chilly, chopped (Adjust the amount of spice to your liking)
1 small tomato, chopped
1/8-1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
2-3 tbsp. fresh coriander leaves, chopped
Salt, to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp. oil

Heat the oil in a pan.

Saute the onions and green chilly till onions turn soft and are lightly colored.

Add the turmeric powder and stir well.

Add the tomato and let it cook off for a minute or so.

Now crumble the cottage cheese into the pan and stir well to mix with the rest of the ingredients in the pan.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cook uncovered for a few minutes till the liquid has dried up.

Lastly, add the coriander leaves and stir well.

Serve with hot chapatis or bread.
