This is by far the best chocolate cake that I have tasted in my life time. Don’t get me wrong, when I first came across this recipe, I was very skeptical because the wet ingredients didn’t seem right. Apparently the zucchini in the cake was to give the cake the moisture it required. Even while … Continue reading Eggless Chocolate zucchini cake
About
Chilli bitten was started way back in 2015. I started the blog to document my journey of teaching myself how to cook like Julia Child by my 30th birthday. But as the days turned into months and the months turned into years, the blog was transformed to a page where I can share my … Continue reading About
Dry chick pea curry
I love to bake, from muffins to cakes to biscuits and everything requires aquafaba. To make aquafaba I go through tons and tons of chickpeas that I never seem to have a use for afterwards. There is just so much hummus dip one can eat before hummus starts coming out of your ears. I was … Continue reading Dry chick pea curry

Since I have discovered my grans cookbooks, I have taken to Malay Curries like duck to water. One of my grans favourite recipe that she liked to make on lazy Saturdays was Penang curry and yes I have no idea how to pronounce it.

Fishless fish curry
When my mum first started on her vegetarian journey, I always thought that she would have to give up all her favourites and I would have a freezer full of lentils and beans.

Asian chilli jam
I love a good jam, I love chilli jam even more, but of late I can’t seem to get my hands on chilli jam. The store always seems to be full of fig jam, apricot jam or strawberry jam, but no chilli jam. The other night I was watching Lorraine Pascales cooking show on tv … Continue reading Asian chilli jam
Shariefa’s mince curry with peas
Growing up my late Gran also known as Aunty Shariefa to most but to me, Ma, was a great chef in her own. She could take a simple potatoe and turn it into a wonderful dish. When she passed on she left me her cookbooks, which I have now come to appreciate and use them … Continue reading Shariefa’s mince curry with peas
Bran muffins
When I hear the word bran muffin, I think healthy tasteless cardboard muffins. I am sure that everyone has the same feeling about bran muffins as I do???? I managed to get my hands on a book “Baking magic with aquafaba,”a new baking technique for me. Before my mum became a vegetarian, I barely knew … Continue reading Bran muffins
