I know, that I promised my subscribers to post some Indian super yummy recipes as well. But now that I actually write this post, I think an extra post would make it easy for all of us, as they require a different set of ingredients than the European ones. For now, do enjoy the following yummy bites :)
If you are Asian, simply add more chili or Tabasco to the savoury dishes to make them more appealing to your taste buds ;)
A recipe I learnt from a dear friend from Portugal. Its so easy and tasty that there is no stopping anybody from making pancakes! The following proportion makes 4-6 Pancakes depending on their size and thickness.
Ensure the pan is hot & then add butter on a pan, pour in the batter and spread it till it takes a round shape, tilting the pan if necessary. Heat till both sides are golden brown and enjoy with any topping of your choice: powdered sugar/ jam/ honey/ cheese with salt and pepper.
*If you think the pancake is thicker than you like, dilute the batter with more milk.
*Using high flame gas/ stove will ensure nicer and quicker pancakes.
An eleven year old cutie pie from north Germany, introduced me to this recipe. All you need is my pancake batter recipe from above, a chopped apple and some sugar. For 1 apple pancake:
Flip pancake, ensure both sides are golden brown and enjoy :)
Flammkuchen have thin crusts. The topping is of cream-base unlike tomato sauce on pizza. Most Flammkuchen are in the savoury category. They have different traditional toppings. The following two recipes are my own creations, where I put together what I had at home. It turned out super yummy!
Dough
I buy 'Flammkuchen Teig', which is a big sheet of dough specially made for this dish, directly from the supermarket. Worst case scenario, you can use a ready made thin sheet of pizza dough as well. Else follow the following quick recipe (with video), which I have translated from the link below (it will turn out great. Will just take 3-4 minutes more of your time).

For 1 tray full of Flammkuchen, mix 250 g of Flour, 2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and 125 ml water. Kneed a bit and let rest till you prepare the topping.
Topping
Put in a preheated oven at 220 degree with fan or 240 degree normal
Bake for about 15-20 minutes, on the lowest shelf in oven (for crispy base)
Add pieces of Avocado on top and...
Tadaaaa! Ready to eat :)
Topping
Put in a preheated oven at 220 degree with fan or 240 degree normal

and enjoy :)
The following recipe is for two plates of food, an a tomato variation of the italian traditional dish 'Agio Olio'. Total cooking time: 15 to 20 minutes.
Cook 4 handfuls of Penne noodles in boiling water (will take 8-10 min, check instructions on pack)
Till it cooks, you can prepare the sauce:
cook sauce for 5 minutes
Drain noodles and add to the sauce and cook for 2-4 minutes
You are ready to serve! Top with basil leaves and maybe even parmesan cheese for garnishing.
*You can add mozarella cheese to dish, immediately after you mix the noodles and the sauce. Or even add fresh cream to the tomato sauce to get a creamy version of the sauce. Enjoy!
This recipe is a big time hit in my friend circle. I learnt it from a German Grandma. You will need either 2-3 portions of cooked rice or use 2-3 portions of leftover rice. By 1 portion I mean about a mug full. Total cooking time: 20 min.
*Same recipe can also be made with cooked noodles
*Before adding the rice, you can add cream (whipping cream, without the whipping) to the sauce. It will make a creamy, runny sauce, that is fantastic with noodles as well as rice. Ensure, if the seasoning of salt and pepper is adequate after adding the cream. In this case, serve the noodles/ rice & sauce separately. Do not mix them in pan.
The above pictures are from my kitchen window and balcony. When the sun shines, its a lovely place to just be :) I like eggs and I love herbs. Total Cooking time: 5 min
Single Portion
Start heating a pan (medium or high flame)
*You can place a cheese slice or two (optional), on one half of the omelet and fold it, while cooking it on pan. It will give you a cheese stuffed omelet.
Enjoy!! If you do make any of the dishes, do let me know in the comments below and do share your pics :)
