In our family chilli bites are better known as curry balls. I try to make them as often as I can, but of late I never seem to be able to get my hands on the ready mix packs. I have never made curry balls from scratch. I always use the Packo box mix, but … Continue reading Chilli bites from scratch

Kadelee also known as Indian chickpeas
I love Kadelee, this dish is like the staple part of any prayer service. When people offer to make sweet treats for the congregation to take with them home after a temple service, you can bet your last cent that there will definitely be kadelee on the plate. I was really under the impression that … Continue reading Kadelee also known as Indian chickpeas

Plain sev
This is my mother’s favourite…she could sit and eat this all day long. Sometimes I add salted nuts to eat and sometimes it is finished eating before I even get to open the packet with the peanuts in. To make this you will require a morkoo machine… I never knew a machine like this even … Continue reading Plain sev
Puri and patha

Morkoo
Morkoo is an Indian favourite and yet people are so shy when they put in on their Diwali plates. I piece for an entire household. Here again I thought this recipe would be a complicated one. It isn't. And the morkoo machine if I could find one in a dorp like PE then you can … Continue reading Morkoo
Indian savory pancakes
This is the perfect recipe to make for a fasting breakfast. There are just so many days of the fast that you can eat toasted cheese sarmies, before you start looking like a toasted sarmie. It goes well with dhania chutney and for a stronger option you can add chopped chillies. Ingredients: ¼ x cup … Continue reading Indian savory pancakes
