By doing this we can also support our local farmers. I was watching the documentary THE BIGGEST LITTLE FARM by the couple John and Molly Chester which talks about sustainable farming and on how we could adopt it. This recipe is a total reflection on how to appreciate what we have.

Be it an urban area or in the villages not only the Kenyans but whoever is living or lived in Kenya would have definitely enjoyed the local bananas. The shamba boy(gardener- Kiswahili) makes sure he grows atleast a single banana tree in the household he works. Kenya has been our home for long and I am glad that my kids grew up enjoying these NDIZI's- Banana in Kiswahili. Be it after a long swimming session or a tiring day from school they would always look forward to enjoy eating it. I am glad that I have been able to provide healthy snacks for my kids like peanuts, sweet potatoes, arrow roots and tapioca other than bananas. Its a blessing which many don't realise.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKgfzI_t7mNslxlovxn2s1spKtoBlK671gWB1eh-Ty_kRUwanFkEpzW4y0K1FoTUQAaaA_19TFFQBTY3Uz_GE6pySU-PcnQ4CCAlPezHuqhuahv3-xJUn4Sfo1ncOqhnTP10J6yxtSCiw/s2048/20200730_142016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="1001" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKgfzI_t7mNslxlovxn2s1spKtoBlK671gWB1eh-Ty_kRUwanFkEpzW4y0K1FoTUQAaaA_19TFFQBTY3Uz_GE6pySU-PcnQ4CCAlPezHuqhuahv3-xJUn4Sfo1ncOqhnTP10J6yxtSCiw/w563-h1001/20200730_142016.jpg" width="563" /></a><div style="display: inline !important; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: right;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEienlUnhDMDq_i-Jcuwma4NnWevynERmoSlA4wpyMC3YjbJXQPAxrTVHIuIZN5xD53rJUTqYbCM6A1n023Lwcz0BH_II62vCoTZUW7JJQNyMJBs4eqRpWN-OWdGXkGOXdPju9UEL8fJTvA/s2048/20200730_142158.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="display: inline !important; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="1001" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEienlUnhDMDq_i-Jcuwma4NnWevynERmoSlA4wpyMC3YjbJXQPAxrTVHIuIZN5xD53rJUTqYbCM6A1n023Lwcz0BH_II62vCoTZUW7JJQNyMJBs4eqRpWN-OWdGXkGOXdPju9UEL8fJTvA/w563-h1001/20200730_142158.jpg" width="563" /></a></div></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>My kids love chocolaty flavours and so thought of doing something with what I have at home. Trust me!!! It came out really well. With all the ONLY SAD AND BAD NEWS around with loads of negativity I just decided to stop watching news or check updates. Almost 3 days on and I am feeling much positive within. Refocusing more on progressive and beneficial paths with prayers is definitely a wholesome healing experience. I had a lovely evening with my family enjoying the hot banana bread with some Kenyan Ketepa Chai.

I almost have brinjals in my meal everyday. Kenyans enjoy it by adding it both to the vegetable and meat stews to go with rice dishes. This is a very simple dish which can be prepared with basic spices and the veggies we easily get in Kenya. Its a pocket friendly dish too.....when I make this dish everytime it reminds me of my childhood when I grew up enjoying the goodness of brinjals available straight from the farmers. I still remember the panicking moments I had when I use to chop the brinjal to help my mom and find a crawly friend peeping out. Its a great proof that it was organic. The village I grew up had goat rearing as the major source of income and the farmers use to collect the excreta of the goat to be added as manure. The variety of brinjal I had in my home town use to be short and spherical unlike the usual biringanya we enjoy in Kenya. Try this simple, health friendly dish and remember to enjoy it with steaming rice during this cold weather.<br /><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div><b><u><br /></u></b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoI3zFVPAHV7fQH4YEFJGg7Olb-i1-rPAjuKTTxKni8RS6wePSEtgsGsgo41_BNkFIRN_XTLDG91iBVYnto93wGGEtsXXGzEdqeF_2e2LkeL7USzbhGiCgK-kS2hd4OlmqH6NQRie1Wb0/s2048/20200531_145247+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1152" height="976" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoI3zFVPAHV7fQH4YEFJGg7Olb-i1-rPAjuKTTxKni8RS6wePSEtgsGsgo41_BNkFIRN_XTLDG91iBVYnto93wGGEtsXXGzEdqeF_2e2LkeL7USzbhGiCgK-kS2hd4OlmqH6NQRie1Wb0/w546-h976/20200531_145247+%25282%2529.jpg" width="546" /></a><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><u>Ingredients:<br /><br /></u></b></h3><div>Brinjal- 250 gms<br /><br />Onion- 1 medium size chopped <br /><br />Tomatoes- 3 medium sized( chopped to cubes)<br /><br />Ginger- Garlic Paste<br /><br />Oil- 2 tbspn<br /><br />Salt to taste<br /><br /></div><div>Spice Paste- Turmeric powder- 1 tspn<br /> </div><div> Chilly Powder- 1 tspn</div><div><br /></div><div> Water- 2 tbspn<br /><br /></div><div> Salt to taste</div><div><br /></div><div>Cilantro- to garnish</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b><u>Method:</u></b></h3><div><b><u><br /></u></b></div><div>1.

Corona is still around having made up its mind to not leave us shortly. Every day looks like a gift from above. Apart from all the challenges, struggles of the unprecedented times we have to also face the curfew and lockdown for the good of everyone around us.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel that we are all going back to our roots of appreciating the fact of being yourself and not flicker around in clubs and party in search of entertainment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We need to also appreciate the calmness and the awesome time we have got to take care of us and our families. I definitely love the part of trying new dishes and surprising the family. Simple recipes makes cooking fun and hanker after food.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This SIMPLE FRIED CHICKEN aka SFC is a super easy starter. Just a whole chicken and few spices. With kids around we have to think of simple cooking tips to spend more time having fun with them as well as concentrate on your work if you are working from home. Try it out!</div>

To add more nutritional value you can add sesame seeds along with the chicken cubes and fry. I have used pan fried curry leaves to garnish. You can use the same or chopped chives/cilantro.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Jambo! It has been more than 5 years since I blogged. Yes it has been truly very long and I have been definitely thinking of getting started all over again. Travel, hobbies, profession, lead me to different paths yet my passion is on. There are at times you need a break and I felt this time that I should start it. Well my inspiration....did I mention? My first born who insisted that I should get started an do a lot of upgrading in my work and I am gonna do it. A son's wish is paramount for a mom and here I am.....<br /></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Winter is here and in the evenings you feel like having something crunchy and healthy to go with your Chai. I am blessed with fresh supply of Terere greens right at my door step. Today I thought of replicating a snack from my home town in which we use the same ingredients but usually with locally available greens. It turned out to be really crunchy and we all loved having it with our Chai. It's very easy and quick to make with simple ingredients we have in our kitchen for day to day use. You should try too!!!</span><br />

It has been a very long time. I have been investing my time more on family, friends and especially kids. But still I was on my blogging job by trying new stuff and taking pics. The only problem is to sit and edit and post the pics. Today all of a sudden I decided to get back to my business.</div>

This recipe is especially for the ones who hate the smell of tofu but would have it with a pleasant aroma, who love fusion recipes and who wants tofu in the place of paneer. Makhani generally means use of butter in the gravy and plenty of fresh cream. Instead of butter and cream I have used coconut oil and cashew nuts. The Indian spices and coconut oil does not allow the smell of the Tofu to be prominent. It is a good choice with Peas Pilau on a cold day.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Split bengal gram usually called "uzhunthu" in my Tamil language is a great energy booster I look upon when ever I feel weak, tired or suffering from body aches after a strenous week of exercise routine and a Mom's, wife's job. Well my mom prepares "uzhunthan soru" wherein this black gram is cooked with rice and consumed with some vegetable/ mutton gravy. Another great option is "vadai" which is made of polished black gram batter deep fried in oil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like this one somehow because I am very glad that I have skipped the rice part and the loads of oil in the vadai. This is a one pot dish and I prepared this in the pressure cooker. It is a good combo with roti, chapati, rice or any flat bread. Here in the pic I have served it with "spinach adai" which is a South Indian crepe made of the batter of little rice, split bengal gram and pigeon peas(lentil). Ground paste of any green is added to the batter with some spices to prepare this. It can be simply called as the" rice and lentil crepe".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This gravy is almost like"Dal makhani" where the black gram is cooked with red beans without any potatoes.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To make it more interesting for my boys I have added potatoes so that they finish it without any of their long questions. Let's check on how to do this?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is the season of red velvet cakes everywhere in Nairobi.Java house, Dormans have included this cake in their desserts list. You get attracted by the colour for sure but the loads of food colour that goes in is really not good. This time I wanted a red velvet spaghetti (but definitely naturally). I got the same effect with the simple beetroot pesto I prepared. I made the pesto with roasted beets and some left over sunflower and pumpkin seeds.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This beet pesto has all the usual ingredients of a pesto except the spicy green chillies which I wanted it there. Nutty, spicy, healthy and above all colourful. To add some more veges, the roasted French beans was a very good combination.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This dish is a simple one from the "Kikuyu" tribe of Kenya. The name "<b>Mukimo</b>" meaning "mash". Mashed potatoes with the Kenyan greens "<b>terere</b>" and peas. Kikuyu's cook mukimo with "<b>fresh green pumpkin leaves</b>" and maize in it. Initially sounded weird to me."what? pumpkin leaves????". Later when I tried I just loved it. If you have got pumpkin leaves in your garden just add some chopped leaves in the place of terere in this recipe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"<b>Ndengu</b>" is again a side dish made of "green grams". Usually mukimo is eaten with "<b>Githeri</b>"- made of red beans, maize and carrots like a stew. I like ndengu a lot and found it to be a very good go with mukimo. This dish is the secret of the strength of Kenyans. In this junky food world, this dish is really super quick and consists of very low fat hence very healthy. Quiet filling , and helps you to stay warm on a cold day.</span></div>

To have a creamy taste you can also add some fresh cream.<br /><br /><br /><br /><b><i><u>Ndengu:</u></i></b><br /><br />Heat the pan and add the oil.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Add the cooked green grams when the tomatoes turn soft and add 1/2 cup water and mix well. Wait until you get a boil and turn off the fire. Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with Mukimo. For a creamy taste you can also add 1/4 cup of coconut milk.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br />

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rock muffins comes very handy throughout the long week. You can bake it and store for almost a week. The dryness in the muffin helps you to store it for a longer period. This is a perfect choice for my kids who return starved out of energy from school. To moisten the muffins I prepare chocolate sauce along with the muffins and store or drizzle some strawberry syrup on it. Vanilla or chocolate glaze is also a great choice.</span></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Maize meal tacos and githeri was really a good combo. For the first time I felt very glad about what I have tried in this recipe. Just like that I tried to prepare the tortillas with maize meal which is used to prepare "<b>UGALI</b>" a local Kenyan dish. "Masa harina"- Mexican pre cooked white corn flour and the maize meal are almost the same in texture and smell except one thing that binding the maize meal was bit difficult than the pre cooked corn meal. At last my experiments were fruitful.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Above all Kenyan githeri was a great combination with avocado and mango salsa. "Githeri" is prepared with red beans, carrot,maize and potatoes in Kenya like a stew often served with piping hot ugali. I have added sukuma leaves with githeri and prepared it like a thick filling.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">This Fish curry has more similarities to the </span><a href="http://kulachakula.blogspot.com/2013/01/swahili-fish-curry.html" style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;" target="_blank">Swahili fish curry</a><span style="color: #0b5394; font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">. </span><span style="text-align: left;">With lots of coconut, onion and tomatoes the taste is absolutely awesome. The creamy texture would drool saliva from your mouth. Piping hot rice is a perfect combination with this fish curry. Popularly known as "MEEN KUZHAMBU" meaning "Fish curry" is very popular in the coastal parts of South India from where I come. Very easy to cook on a sunday if you have the right ingredients.</span></div>

Serve with piping hot rice and shallots. A great tip to enjoy this recipe is to cook the curry a day before you would want to relish. Cook and store and on the day you want to have it just reheat and enjoy. The taste improves after a day as the masala seeps in the fish very well.</div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Raining! Raining! and Raining!...........It's a blessing as well as a drawback for me. To wake up early in the morning has become a big challenge for me. Apart from the hustle and bustle of dropping and picking kids from school power issues everywehere. Power cuts has become a true headache. Even with the heavy rains there is shortage of water supply....ok. A week of no power and 5 days of no water situation in my house last week. Obviously cooking came to a stand still. So far this week is going on good, and hopefully the whole week too.Now let's forget all of these issues and try something yummy today.</span></div>

If you are super lazy to cook this yummy kebabs, place your order for"Mutton seekh kebab" with<span style="color: #e69138; font-weight: bold;"> <a href="http://www.hellofood.co.ke/" target="_blank">www.hellofood.co.ke</a> </span>and enjoy it during the rainy days in Nairobi.<br />
<br />
With this weather you wouldn't even think of going out and eat. To drive and that too in this traffic. Errrhh! it is better to stay home and just place an order through "<span style="color: #e69138;"><b>hellofood</b></span>" in just 3 steps.<br />
<br />
Choose the area, restaurant and order and they deliver your food at your doorsteps. That's simply amazing. Do not worry if you do not have your restaurant listed there. Just send a request like I did and they would contact them and get your food delivered. I have just sent a request to add my restaurant.<br />
<br />
In case of any queries, online chat is also available. There are sometimes we would feel like taking a break from cooking and that too by the time I realise, that I do not wanna cook anything it would be 8 p.m, and then to get ready, get out of the house with kids.........it's really tiring. <br />
<br />
I like the services they offer especially for the busy people of Nairobi. The concept is really new and very helpful for people like my husband who hates going out unless and until we 3(my kids and I) push him to do so. He would always prefer a take away. After a tiring whole week of work anyone would opt to do so.<br />
<br />
<br />
So next time you wanna stay home and relish your food after a tiring day just place your orders through"<b><span style="color: #e69138;">hellofood</span></b>" and relax.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's raining." <b><span style="color: #e69138;"><u>Black out"</u></span></b> in my apartments for the past 4 days. Hakuna stima!(No power). when it rains you madly crave for something spicy and yummy, but to me (healthy) it has to be healthy as well. Like me obviously my family, too craves for potatoes especially my elder son who is a fan of chips.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This potato wedges are a good healthy choice for you and your family as it is pan fried. Go for the pan fried wedges rather than the deep fired potato chips. Of course we are not holy in dieting. At times we do fail but we can try to stay healthy. This potato wedges tastes almost like the deep fried chips. Try it and tell me.</span></div>

spring is here! I can break out the shorts and flip-flops in preparation for
summer. As you can tell, I love spring; it’s warm, not freezing or
uncomfortably hot.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I went on a beautiful vacation, I tried what was called a
Honey Bear Smoothie at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, ranked amongst some of the<a href="http://www.gogobot.com/las-vegas--hotels"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc;">top
hotels in Las Vegas</span></a>. Okay, I have to admit that even if it sounds
like something on the kiddie menu, the Honey Bear Smoothie is actually
delicious, sophisticated, and did I say delicious? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, it’s true, and I ordered, like, forty smoothies in a single

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When it was time to pack up and head back to good old Chicago, I
started thinking about how I missed that smoothie. I was in withdrawal, Honey
Bear Smoothie withdrawal, that is. Luckily, it wasn’t hard to figure out the

When you are out of your bed you feel like having something spicy as well as healthy(I feel so many times). Try this very simple vegetable pan cakes. Cabbage and carrot in the pan cake helps you to stay warm. To add something to your dietary "fiber" intake I have drizzled some oats to the batter. Very quick and easy too...</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This oven baked brinjal crisps is a great snack on a rainy day. This is a quite common snack in India which is often available in bakeries in India, but "DEEP FRIED". I just wanted to break that "FRYING" part. Tried the same thing in the oven. With olive oil and the same Indian spices it came out very well. Spicy too.........I had the small stripy brinjals which are little bit bitter compared to the long ones. <br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you prefer to avoid the bitter part use the long purple brinjals. You can check on the<b><u> <a href="http://www.bookmydoctor.com/health-article/benefits-of-eggplant-brinjal-246/" target="_blank">health benefits of eating brinjal</a> </u></b></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> in the link below. By cooking this way you can get the wholesome benefit of brinjals which is good for diabetic and high cholestrol patients.</span></div>
