THAI PRAWN MANGO AVOCADO SALAD = SUMMER! Food like this heralds the arrival of summer… we’re just 8 DAYS AWAY AUSTRALIA!!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 Living on the upper Northern Beaches, I’m not far from a holiday-house destination for the rich called Palm Beach. The wealthy folk who live in waterfront mansions in the Eastern Suburbs (the Beverly Hills of Sydney) who need to escape the stress and dramas of their lives keep gigantic, stunning holiday houses in this beautiful beachside suburb that is the north most coastal point of Sydney....

Southern Thai Turmeric Chicken (Gai Yang Khamin) This is a great one to marinade tonight and bake tomorrow, to bring authentic Thai flavours to your dinner table! It’s sweet but has layers of savoury, and is incredibly delicious for something so simple. With the excellent street food in Thailand, it will come to no surprise that I found this during my travels. It’s a street food that hails from the south called Gai Yang Khamin, and is one of those recipes that tastes like it has way more ingredients in it than it does....

When you see the ingredients below, you’d be forgiven for thinking this is a pasta sauce recipe. All the usual suspects are present. Olive oil, garlic, onion, dried and fresh basil, tomato {paste}. Except – we’re using rice instead of pasta. Just a minor difference…. 😂 TOMATO PASTE WORKS BEST! It’s a straightforward recipe to make, starting off like a pilaf with garlic and onion sautéed in olive oil along with dried basil (just a little sauté really makes the flavour bloom!...

However, with changing times and with increased awareness of the various health benefits that each of these vegetables have, people (including me), have started frequently including these items in their diet. So after much contemplation, here I have tried my best to compile most of the Tamil Brahmin recipes. What makes each culture so unique is the wide list of rituals that are followed during festivals and the pujas performed at home....

This dosa tasted similar to South Indian adai recipe. It is generally served hot along with coconut chutney or jaggery. The family liked the taste of this uppu huli khara dosa. My friend also shared Neer dosa recipe, which i will definitely try and post it here soon. Wash and soak 1 cup of idli rice, 1 tblsp moong dal and methi seeds for 4-5 hours or over night. Drain water and grind this along with the all the ingredients given under to Grind...

Arachuvitta vengaya sambar is a tasty sambar recipe made using freshly ground Sambar masala. This is a lentil-based onion gravy, cooked in tamarind sauce, popular in South Indian cuisine. The addition of shallots to this sambar gives a delicious aroma. My mother used to make this Arachuvitta vengaya sambar whenever we had guests at home. Also, we make this on the previous day of Deepavali along with potato curry. The classic combo of Vengaya sambar and urulai kizhambu curry is very popular in Tamil brahmin cuisine....

I love cooking ground beef because it’s so easy to make! You can always throw together a last minute stir-fry or make burgers or meatballs or meatloaf, etc. My only beef with ground beef is that it can sometimes get boring. That’s why I’ve searched the web to find you 100+ Paleo Ground Beef recipes. When you’re not sure what to make for dinner, just check out this list! PS....

Why today? Because this is a magical recipe and I wanted to share it on the three-year anniversary of my most magical day: my wedding. I know this is a totally absurd comparison, but this recipe for rice flour flatbread is kind of like my marriage. The flatbread is made up of two simple ingredients (rice flour + water). My marriage is made up of two simple people (me + Roby)....

It’s a terrific all-rounder side salad for any Asian food, including Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese. Make a big batch because it keeps for days! Asian Slaw Named as such because it’s made with shredded cabbage like traditional Coleslaw – but other than that, it couldn’t be more different! No oily mayo laden dressing, this Asian salad is fresh, bright and crunchy, but certainly not lacking in flavour. (I also have similarly slaw-like Vietnamese Chicken Salad, that uses Chinese Cabbage which you should give a go!...

I got to taste Homemade badam kheer for the first time, after marriage. We organized a Satsang at home and my mother-in-law made delicious badam kheer for that. I have very little knowledge about cooking in those days and was so curious to learn this recipe from her. My mom never made that before as we don’t get almonds in my hometown those days. Even Kesar | saffron was also not available but still, my mother-in-law makes it so yummy....

No you guys. I am NOT a grandma. I just like prunes, okay? I realize that the word “prune” is basically the ugliest word in existence, which is really unfortunate because that’s the name that was given to what is actually a pretty tasty fruit. Why not just call it what it is: a dried plum. Who came up with the name “prune” anyway? I bet it was the raisin industry....

Biryani recipe One of the most requested recipes is finally here! Another RecipeTin Family effort, it took us seven attempts to get this biryani right. Seven attempts means seven heated arguments about who would take the leftover biryani because somebody in the RecipeTin family, at any point in time, usually declares themselves to be on a diet to address blog-related weight gain concerns. And it was worth it. (Belly and all....

I want to rename this recipe magic sauce, because it can transform the simplest dish into something absolutely magical. Hollandaise sauce is a smooth, golden, buttery sauce that takes minutes to make when using a blender. Once you see how easy this is to make, you’ll be drizzling this creamy sauce on top of everything. Roby regularly requests breakfast for dinner and I love it when he does… because hollandaise sauce over poached eggs couldn’t be easier to make....

Use this recipe for curry sauce as a base and toss in whatever veggies and proteins you want! Cauliflower Chickpea Curry I know most people do Meat Free Monday. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? But in my world, meat free meals are towards the end of the week after I’ve depleted my supply of fresh meat from weekend grocery shopping. So for RecipeTin Eats, it’s Meat Free Wednesday, not Monday....

Serving it in a bread bowl is optional…. but it’s a terrific way to serve it!! CHEESE AND BACON DIP – IN A BREAD BOWL! I will never forget the first time I had dip in a bread bowl. I was 12, and it was a a retro Soup Mix French Onion dip. I ate so much darn dip and the bread bowl, I sat in the corner like an overstuffed Oompa Loompa while everyone else played party games....

Stuff it, sear it, crumb it, bake it, fry it, marinate it, poach it – see the many, many ways I cook it in my chicken breast recipe collection! Today, we are battering and saucing. The battering is a little unique. Chicken Francese is dredged in egg then pan fried which gives the chicken a lovely golden crust with excellent sauce clinging capabilities....
