Tips for Making Best Banana Bread

  • Use overripe bananas: Ripe banana with lots of brown spots = natural sweetness.

  • Room temp:Β You can store this banana bread in airtight container for 2–3 days.
  • Fridge:Β Banana bread stays fresh in fridge for up to 1 week.
  • Freezer:Β If you want to store banana bread in freezer, wrap slices in cling film and pack in ziplock bag, freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in toaster/oven.

Refrigeration and Freezing: If you’re storing the bread in the fridge or freezer, make sure to label it with the date. This way, you can keep track of how long it’s been stored.

Serving Suggestions

FAQs

Can I make eggless banana bread without baking soda?

Yes, use baking powder, but the texture may be slightly denser.

Why is my banana bread not fluffy?

Over mixing, too much flour, or under-ripe bananas often cause dense bread.

Can I make gluten free Banana Bread?

Yes, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. But the texture will be slightly different

Can I reduce the sugar?

Yes, you can cut sugar by 25–30% or use coconut sugar. Bananas naturally sweeten the bread. Any sugar free substitute that can be heated can be used too.

Course breads, Dessert, Snack
Cuisine American, continental
Keyword Banana, banana bread, bread, cake, eggless, eggless cake
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Servings 10
Calories 232kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas ripe
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil for a healthier option
  • 1 cup sugar you can use brown sugar for a richer flavor
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or any plant based milk, soy, or oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground , optional, but recommended for extra flavor
  • 1/2 cup walnuts nuts chopped, optional, for added texture and taste

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare

  • First, preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease a 9Γ—5-inch loaf pan with a bit of oil or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mash the Bananas

  • In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • Add the vegetable oil, sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. This ensures that the baking soda is evenly distributed, which helps the bread rise evenly.

Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. If you’re adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.

Bake the Bread

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Enjoy

  • Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your healthy eggless banana bread with a cup of tea or coffee.

Notes

Tips for the Best Eggless Banana Bread

  3. Add-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins like walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips. They add a delightful crunch or melty sweetness.
  4. Storage: Store your banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.

13 September 2025 at 04:34

This firecracker shrimp rice has simply flabbergasted me with its insanely delicious flavors thanks to its firecracker sauce! I had no idea a simple sauce can be so incredibly tasty that you can make such a stunning meal in under 30 minutes!

This firecracker shrimp rice will make your home dining a special affair and I can vouch without an iota of doubt that everyone in your family will love it!

I will be honest with you that before trying it on my own, I was also not expecting something as mind-blowing as it proved to be.

I was drawn to it for my favorite thing which is, surprise surprise, shrimp! LOL! The secret behind the crazy deliciousness of this firecracker shrimp rice is not in shrimp; it is in its sauce!

Let’s deep dive into it, shall we?

What is Firecracker Shrimp Rice?

You may have assumed from its name that firecracker shrimp rice is a hot & tangy fried rice topped with sweet & salty shrimps!

Well, you are partly right! This firecracker shrimp rice is indeed a hot & tangy fried rice topped with soft & succulent shrimps! But there is more to it!

It won’t be justified if we simply describe this firecracker shrimp rice as another fried rice! Nope, it’s much more than that!

Let’s talk about the secret sauce of this dish and you will know why I'm claiming it to be so special!

The firecracker sauce is an amalgamation of sweet, tangy, spicy and salty ingredients which come together to make a stir-fry sauce which is beyond perfection!

When the rice & shrimps are stir fried in this incredible sauce, they take a makeover which is way too delicious than anything I had ever imagined!

This firecracker shrimp rice truly turned out to be a pleasant surprise for both of us! My better half was just assuming it to be another shrimp fried rice!

But when he saw its gorgeousness he guessed that it might be something different. And then came the final taste test!

Voila! We both loved it so much that we had to recreate it again to share it with all of you guys as this firecracker shrimp rice is just a must-have!

BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE VIDEO TUTORIAL

LETS TALK INGREDIENTS

It is a very basic banana bread recipe. It uses ingredients most commonly found in our pantries.

● Whole Wheat Flour – For a healthier version used whole wheat flour.

● Banana – Used over ripe bananas. Over ripe bananas are best to use in baking.

● Brown Sugar – Brown sugar yields soft and moist cakes. It adds an awesome flavor and texture to the cake. No doubt a healthier option too as compared to refined sugar.

● Milk – Used whole milk. Recommend to use whole milk for extra richness, taste and texture.

● Oil – I have used refined sunflower oil. You can use any flavorless oil. I prefer using oil than butter for a soft and moist outcome.

● Leavening agents (Baking powder & baking soda) – There’s a combination of baking powder and baking soda in this banana raisin loaf cake to give it the perfect amount of lift.

● Egg – I have used only 1 large egg and that does the work as banana itself is a perfect substitute of egg.

● Vanilla Essence – Used vanilla essence. You can choose extract over essence.

● Salt – A dash of salt to balance out the sweetness.

● Raisins – The slightly sweet and tartness from the raisin in this banana cake is amazing. You can feel it in every bite of the cake.

INGREDIENTS SUBSTITUTION IN BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE

● Whole wheat flour can be substituted with all purpose flour (maida) or you can use 50-50 ratio.
● You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar.
● You may also use other healthier sweeteners are jaggery, cane sugar, honey etc.
● You may use butter instead of oil or any flavorless oil will work.
● To make it vegan use any dairy free milk or just even water for the liquid.
● To make an eggless version you may choose anyone of these
β˜† Use 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and use Β½ cup milk altogether.
β˜† Use ΒΌ cup curd/yogurt instead of egg.
● You may use black raisins instead of the regular rasins.
● You may use vanilla extract instead of essence.

BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE VARIATIONS

● If you want nutty taste and texture, add nut in the batter also once the batter is ready. Lightly coat the nuts with flour and just throw in the batter and give a quick gentle mix.
● Use nut of your choice like pecans or walnuts etc. You can also use mixed nuts as per your palate preference.
● You may also replace the raisins with chocolate chunks or chocolate chips to make it banana chocolate chips cake.
● You can spice up the cake by adding cinnamon powder. The sweet aroma of the cinnamon adds extra flavor to your cake which will make you drool.
● You can use rum soaked raisins which will take your loaf cake to a different level. Its yummilicious!
● You can also soak the raisin in fruit juice. Any juice you love.
● You can put this batter into muffin tins and make banana raisin muffins.

To make muffins, line a muffin tin with paper liners or just grease it with oil or butter and fill each cup to roughly ΒΎ full, and bake for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

HOW TO STORE BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE?

Let the cake cool down completely and store it in airtight container. Banana raisin cake can be kept for upto 2-3 days at room temperature depending upon the temperature of your place. If you need to store it a couple days longer then I suggest storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

HOW TO FREEZE BANANA RAISIN LOAF CAKE?

Cling wrap the cake and put it in a ziploc bag or airtight container then store in the freezer. I prefer to freeze sliced cake so it is much easier to take out the required servings and thaw them for breakfast or snacking. Freeze them for upto 3 months. It goes more than 3 months but best to use it within three months. To thaw the cake, remove from the freezer and allow it to come to room temperature and serve. You can also pop it in the microwave for few seconds and serve.

BAKING THE LOAF CAKE

Pour the batter onto the prepared pan. Tap the pan for couple of times to release any air bubbles trapped inside. Sprinkle some raisins on the top.

Place the cake pan in the middle rack with both filaments (rods) on. Bake the cake at preheated oven @180Β° C for 35 minutes. A toothpick or skewer inserted should come out clean. Baking time will differ depending upon your oven temperature and settings. Start checking the doneness of the cake before the above mentioned time.

Remove the cake from oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the cake pan and demould the cake. Transfer the cake onto a cooling rack and allow to cool down completely. Slice and enjoy!

INGREDIENTS FOR EGGLESS LEMON BLUEBERRY BUNDT CAKE

FLOUR– I used all-purpose flour. You may substitute whole wheat flour or use 50:50 ratio of all purpose flour and whole wheat flour.

CUSTARD POWDER– Used the custard powder to enhance the taste and texture of the cake. Actually I wanted to use milk powder but it was not available at my pantry at the time of baking this cake. This is an optional ingredients. You may use milk powder or dairy whitener instead or skip it.

LEAVENING AGENT– Both leavening agents baking powder and baking soda is used in the recipe to give a perfect rise to the cake.

SALT–  Salt is used to neutralizes the sweetness of the cake.

BUTTER–  I used salted butter and in melted form. Unsalted butter works too. You can use vegetable or sunflower oil if you don’t prefer to use butter. You may use a combination of butter and oil though.

MILK– Used whole fat milk. Recommend to use full fat milk to enhance the richness and taste of the cake.

SUGAR– I use granulated white sugar. For healthier version you can use brown sugar or cane sugar but the colour of the cake will slightly change.

ESSENCE– I use vanilla extract for best flavor.

BLUEBERRIES– This recipe uses fresh blueberries. Recommend to use small to medium size blueberries as the larger blueberries tends to sink at the bottom. I experienced that as my blueberries were larger in size. Make sure to dust the blueberries with flour before adding in the cake batter. You can use frozen blueberries if fresh one is not available but do not thaw them otherwise you’ll end up with a purple batter!

LEMON JUICE AND LEMON ZEST– Lemon and blueberries makes a great match. If you don’t like zesty taste and tartness of the lemon you can skip the lemon. But you won’t regret giving it a try as this lemon blueberry combo is a hit and a perfect summery dessert.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE LEMON BLUEBERRY CAKE

PREPARE THE CAKE TIN:

I used a 6.5 inch bundt tin. Grease the tin very nicely with oil or butter. Dust it with some flour and remove excess flour. Keep aside.
(Since we can’t line the bundt tin with parchment paper we need to grease the tin very nicely and also dust it with flour so the cake easily comes out when unmoulding).Β 

Prepared bundt cake tin

PREPARE THE OVEN:

Preheat the oven at 180Β° C for at least 10 minutes with both (filaments) rods on.

MAKE YOUR CAKE BATTER:

In a mixing bowl add in the sugar, melted butter, milk and vanilla essence. Using a wire hand whisk, whisk it until the mixture is combined and sugar is dissolved.

Equipment

  • OTG
  • Mixing bowl
  • 240 ml measuring cup set
  • Wired whisk
  • 6.5 inches bundt tin

Ingredients

  • 128 Grams All purpose flour (1 cup)
  • 1 Tablespoon Custard powder or milk powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking powder
  • Β½ Teaspoon Baking soda
  • ΒΌ Teaspoon Salt
  • 100 Grams Sugar (Β½ cup)
  • 50 Grams Butter
  • 200 ml Whole fat milk
  • 3 Tablespoon Lemon juice (45 ml)
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon zest (2 g)
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 150 Grams Blueberry fresh (β…“ cup)

Instructions

PREPARE THE CAKE TIN:

  • I used a 6.5 inch bundt tin. Grease the tin very nicely with oil or butter.
  • Dust it with some flour and remove excess flour. Keep aside. (Since we can't line the bundt tin with parchment paper we need to grease the tin very nicely and also dust it with flour so the cake easily comes out when unmoulding).

PREPARE THE OVEN:

  • Preheat the oven at 180Β° C for at least 10 minutes with both (filaments) rods on.

MAKE YOUR CAKE BATTER:

  • In a mixing bowl add in the sugar, melted butter, milk and vanilla essence.
  • Using a wire hand whisk, whisk it until the mixture is combined and sugar is dissolved.
  • Add in the lemon juice and the lemon zest. Mix well to combine.
  • Sieve in the flour, custard powder or milk powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sift them.
  • Now gently fold them and make a smooth batter.

ADD THE BLUEBERRIES:

  • Dust the blueberries with some flour.
  • Add in the blueberries into the cake batter and give a quick mix. Do not over mix.

BAKE THE CAKE:

  • Pour the batter onto the prepared tin. Tap the tin for 3-4 times to release any air bubbles.
  • Place your cake tin in the oven on the middle rack at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 to 35 minutes. A toothpick or skewer inserted should come out clean.

REMOVE CAKE FROM OVEN:

  • You would want to do the toothpick test at around 30 minutes to make sure the cake is baked through. Baking time will differ as every oven temperature is different.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes: Invert the cake and allow the cake to cool down completely.

MAKE THE GLAZE:

  • In a bowl add in the powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
  • Mix well and make a thicker glaze. ( Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of water if the glaze is too thick).
  • Once the cake is cooled down, pour the glaze over the cake. Slice it and enjoy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

CAN I USE FROZEN BLUEBERRIES?
Yes! And you can directly add them to the batter straight away from the freezer. JustΒ  dust it with flour and add to the cake batter.

CAN I USE OTHER BERRIES?
Yes for sure! This is a great base recipe to add different berries which would go so well with this recipe. Strawberries, blackberries, black currant or raspberries and even cherries would be lovely too!Β 

WHAT KIND OF BLUEBERRIES SHOULD I USE?
Always try to get small to medium blueberries. Large blueberries will tend to sink no matter what. You see in the photos, mine still sank because the blueberries were a little larger in size.Β 

HOW TO PREVENT BLUEBERRIES FROM SINKING ?
The best way to prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom of a cake is to coat the blueberries in flour and also size matters. Try to use small to medium size blueberries. Toss the blueberries in about 1 to 2 teaspoons of all purpose flour before folding them into the cake batter.Β 

CAN I USE OIL INSTEAD OF BUTTER?
Yes, you can swap butter for oil. You can use unflavored vegetable or sunflower oil or any neutral flavour oil. However the texture and flavor will be slightly different. You may also use a mixture of oil and butter. The 50:50 ratio works fine.Β Β 

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE CAKE IS DONE?
Test your cake with a toothpick or skewer at around 30 minutes to make sure it’s baked through before removing the cake from the oven. Bake an additional 5 minutes at the most for extra cooking if the toothpick comes out with crumbs. Please note that the cake will continue to cook for a few more minutes after it is out of the oven.Β 

HOW TO STORE BUNDT CAKE?
Store leftover cake in an airtight container. It stays good and fresh in the room temperature for up to 3 days and up to one week in the refrigerator. You can freeze it for up to 3 months. Slice the cake, wrap the individual slices and place it in an airtight container. Take out the required slices and thaw it before serving. You can reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave just before serving.

Mixed Dal Dosa

Mixed Dal Dosa is a simple and nutritious flatbread that doesn’t require fermentation. This high-protein dosa is made from a blend of various lentils (dal), which are soaked and ground into a smooth paste. A few spices enhance the flavors, and the dosa is cooked on a hot skillet until it’s crispy and golden. These dosas are not only high in protein but also vegan and gluten-free, making them a healthy choice for everyone.
These protein-rich mixed dal dosas are incredibly versatile. They’re perfect for a healthy breakfast, but they can also be enjoyed at any mealβ€”lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. Serve them with your favorite chutney, a comforting soup, or your choice of vegetable dish to complete the meal.
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 6 Dosa

Ingredients

  • ΒΌ cup moong dal
  • ΒΌ cup washed moong dal
  • ΒΌ cup washed urad dal
  • ΒΌ cup red lentil
  • 1 green chili chopped optional
  • ΒΌ piece ginger chopped
  • Β½ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
  • ΒΌ tsp black pepperΒ 
  • β…› tsp asafetida (hing)
  • Β½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 4 tbsp oil

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix all the dal, wash them changing water 2-3 times. Soak dal in four cups of water for 6-8 hours.
  • Drain the water. Blend the lentils (dal) with green chili and ginger, adding water slowly as needed to make a smooth batter. Note: The less water, the smoother the batter.
  • Mix the salt and cumin seeds into the batter. Add water as needed. The total water added will be about Β½ cup, just enough to achieve the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Test by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. The water should sizzle right away.
  • Pour about Β½ cup of the batter mixture into the skillet and spread evenly with the back of a spoon. Starting from the center, spiral outward until evenly spread, about seven inches in diameter.
  • When the batter begins to dry, gently spread one teaspoon of oil over it. Wait about 30 seconds, then flip the dosa using a flat spatula.
  • Press the dosa lightly with the spatula all around to ensure even cooking, turning them two to three times. Dosa should be crisp and golden brown on both sides.
  • Repeat for the remaining dosas.

Notes

Notes: If you are on a gluten-free diet, be aware that asafetida (hing) in powder form is often not gluten-free. In that case, you may want to avoid using asafetida.
Serving suggestion

You can also serve them with samber (a south Indian style dal) or your choice of soup.
For a creative twist, you can use these dosas to make delicious wraps, commonly known as frankies or kathi rolls. Simply wrap some vegetables or salad inside the dosa for a wholesome and satisfying meal on the go.Β 
You can even make these dosas in advance, then reheat them over a skillet to restore their crispness.

Introduction to Mixed Dal Dosa

Mixed Dal Dosa is a wholesome, protein-rich flatbread that’s not only easy to make but also doesn’t require the traditional fermentation process. Made from a blend of various lentils, this dosa is packed with plant-based protein, making it a great meal option for anyone looking to boost their protein intake. Lentils like moong dal, urad dal, and red lentils are soaked, ground into a smooth batter, and spiced to create a savory and crispy dosa. The best part? This dosa is both vegan and gluten-free, catering to various dietary preferences while still delivering great taste and texture.

Cultural and Traditional Importance

Dosas are a staple in South Indian cuisine, traditionally made from fermented rice and lentil batter. However, the Mixed Dal Dosa offers a quicker alternative without the need for fermentation, making it an ideal choice for those who are short on time. Lentils are a common ingredient in Indian cooking, celebrated for their versatility and nutritional value. By using a variety of dals, this dosa provides a range of nutrients, especially plant-based proteins, making it a go-to dish for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even as a snack.

The beauty of Mixed Dal Dosa lies in its simplicity and adaptability. It’s a great way to incorporate different types of lentils into your diet, each contributing its unique flavor and health benefits. Traditionally served with chutneys and sambar, this dosa has found a place in modern kitchens due to its quick preparation and nutritious profile.

Recipe Variations from Manjula’s Kitchen

While Mixed Dal Dosa is delicious and nutritious on its own, there are several other similar dosa and pancake recipes available on Manjula’s Kitchen that you can explore for variety:

Health Benefits and Dietary Considerations

The Mixed Dal Dosa is packed with nutrients, especially protein, making it a great option for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Lentils are an excellent source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to overall digestive health and maintaining energy levels throughout the day. By using a variety of dals, you’re also ensuring that you get a broader range of nutrients in every dosa.

Additionally, this recipe is gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone on a gluten-free diet. If you’re strictly gluten-free, it’s important to note that asafetida (hing) often contains gluten, so be sure to use a gluten-free version or skip it altogether.

Serving Suggestions

Mixed Dal Dosa can be served with a variety of chutneys to complement its savory flavors. Here are a few chutney options from Manjula’s Kitchen that pair well with the dosa:

  • Tomato Chutney: A tangy and slightly sweet chutney that adds a fresh burst of flavor.
  • Cilantro Chutney: A classic chutney with refreshing cilantro and a hint of spice.
  • Peanut Chutney: A creamy and nutty chutney that pairs wonderfully with the crispy dosa.

For a complete meal, serve Mixed Dal Dosa with Sambar or a comforting soup.

The dosas can also be prepared in advance and reheated on a skillet, making them an excellent option for meal prep.

Lebanese Khubz or Khuboos

28 September 2023 at 02:33

This September, Elizabeth picked Lebanese Khubz or Khuboos for the Bread Baking Babes to make. Her pick was inspired by Middle Eastern food she enjoyed on a trip to the UK a few years back. Khubz, Khuboos, Khobz al-Sabah (Morning Bread) is a puffed yeasted flat bread eaten across the Levant and Arabic speaking countries of the Middle East.

A lot of people like to refer to the Lebanese Khubz as a Lebanese Pita bread. I can understand why. Khubz, though a puffed up yeasted bread in general, can be slightly different in different countries where it is eaten. There are versions of Khubz that are much like Pita bread.Β To me, Lebanese Khubz and Pita bread are two very different things. I have some knowledge of Lebanese Khubz, you see. I spent my high school years in Nigeria. We had a local Lebanese bakery that made Khubz or Khuboos as we knew it. We would visit the bakery, once every week or ten days to buy Khubz, warm and fresh out of their ovens.

Β 

This Lebanese Khubz was thin, soft, slightly floury, hollow flatbread about 10 or 11-inches in diameter. Pita bread is typically cut into half and eaten stuffed with filling, β€œpocket” style. Lebanese Khubz or Khuboos is torn into pieces, and wrapped around food to pick it up and eat. It’s typically eaten with stews and curry like dishes which can also be mopped up with flatbread.

The recipe below is adapted from Anissa Helou’s recipe for Khobz-al-Sabah/ Lebanese Morning Bread from her book Savory Baking from the Mediterranean. According to Helou, she learned to make this bread from Jawad Yussef Daher, whose bakery is in Kfar Rumman in south Lebanon. He made Khubz from two different flours and the cornmeal give the bread more texture and make it.

Making Khubz for me was going back in time to when we ate Khubz from the local Lebanese bakery. My memories are of a pale coloured flatbread that was wheat flour. So I made mine without the corn meal.

Helou’s recipe calls for a leavener made the previous evening with a sourdough starter. The Khubz I know is not a sourdough flatbread. I stayed with the spirit of the recipe and so made a leavener using a small pinch of instant yeast instead.

I was watching a video online of a commercial Khubz baker speaking in some version of Arabic (or maybe Farsi). While I don’t understand the language, there was a point where I thought he said Khubz is like the Chappathi. Β So Helou’s higher hydration dough didn’t make sense to me. I kneaded my dough to chapathi dough consistency, which is soft and smooth but not too soft. This makes rolling the dough into thin rounds easy. I also chose to bake my Khubz on an iron griddle on the stove top instead of baking it in the oven.

Lebanese Khubz or Khuboos is best eaten fresh and on the same day it is made. You can keep it for the next day. If so store wrapped in cotton towels or foil. Reheat in the oven and serve warm.

What can you serve this flat bread with? Traditionally it is eaten for breakfast with some or all of these – eggs, foul medames, thick, creamy labne and olive oil, cheeses like baladi, halloumi, akkawi, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, or za’atar. You can also serve it for brunch or lunch or dinner with soups, stews or curries.

Course breads
Cuisine lebanese
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Resting Time 12 hours
Servings 6 Khubz

Ingredients

For the Poolish:

  • A small pinch instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup water at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour

For the Dough:

  • 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1/3 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup water more or less as needed
  • All of the Poolish from above
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

The Poolish:

  • The evening previous to the day of baking the Khubz, mix together all the ingredients for the Poolish in a bowl. Cover loosely and let it ferment on the kitchen counter overnight.

Make the Dough:

  • Next morning, put the Poolish, flours, salt, yeast in the bowl of your kneading machine. Pulse a couple of times to mix. Then add enough water and knead until you have a soft and elastic dough that is not too soft. Shape into a ball and place in a well-oiled bowl. Cover loosely and let it rise till almost double in volume.
  • Once the dough is ready, knead gently a couple of times and divide into six equal portions. Using floured hands, shape each piece into a round. Cover with a damp tea towel and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Work with one ball of dough at a time. Lightly dust a ball of dough with flour and roll it out into a thin circle about 10-inches in diameter. You can also press it out thin by hand.
  • On an Iron Griddle : When the griddle is hot, turn down the heat to medium. Put the rolled out dough on the hot griddle and cook as you would a chappathi. Gently cook it on each side for about a minute or till light brown spots start appearing. The dough will turn whitish/ opaque as it cooks. The flatbread should start puffing up gently. When it does turn up the heat so the bread puffs up all the way to the edges. If it doesn’t gently coax it by applying pressure with a flat spatula or a rolled up cotton kitchen towel in your hand. Do not keep it on high heat for too long or t will crisp up losing its softness.
  • As they are done, put them into a basket. Serve immediately.
  • On the BBQ: Light the barbecue, close the lid, and turn it to high. When the BBQ is very hot, using a dough scraper, place each round directly on the grill and close the lid of the barbecue. After a minute or so, use blunt-nosed tongs to move the rounds from place to place, to account for uneven heat. The flat breads should puff up, though you might have the occasional flat one. The flat ones will taste just as good.
  • In the Oven: Place a pizza stone on the middle shelf of the oven set at 230C (450F). Place the dough circles on the stone. It takes 5-10 minutes to bake the breads. When they balloon up, gently turn them over using tongs. Also, move them around from time to time to account for uneven heat in the oven. To check to see if the breads are done, gently lift them up. They should be light weight and puffy.

If there is one recipe that I can blindly vouch for helping me stick to my healthy eating habit, then that has to be this avocado toast! Topped with eggs, this avocado toast is not only the healthiest breakfast (or lunch!), but also the tastiest among all my other options!

Avocado is my new found love and I make sure I include this superfood in my meals at least twice a week!

I savor my avocados in various ways but the most common one is this avocado toast! I am wondering why I took so long to share this go-to recipe of mine!

Even though the title says this avocado toast is for breakfast, I will share my secret with you! I love this avocado toast so much that I have it for lunch at least thrice a week!

It is best paired with eggs if you want to have it for breakfast. For lunch with avocado toast, I usually pair it up with grilled/air fried chicken and loads of salad.

What is avocado toast?

As the name suggests, avocado toast is the most humble yet most delicious and nutritious meal of crunchy toast with mashed avocado spread over it!

The creamy avocado complements the crusty bread so beautifully that it creates an unforgettable eating experience that will keep dragging you to it again and again.

That’s why I repeat this avocado toast in my weekly meals so many times yet never get bored of it. And when you top it up with an egg, it’s just ten on ten with the right amount of protein & healthy fat.

This one pot chicken drumsticks and rice is one of my favorite wholesome meals that fits the bill in all respects - it’s balanced, filling and satiates our taste buds so beautifully that we don't miss any takeaways whatsoever!

If you are new to my blog and are liking what you see here, I can assure you that you won’t regret your decision to stay on this page!

Here I share my tried and tested recipes that I make for my family & myself for a healthy & balanced meal to nourish our body & soul!

And the same goes for this one pot chicken drumsticks and rice which is a rightly balanced meal of carb and good protein without any fuss whatsoever!

Being a one pot recipe, this one pot chicken drumsticks and rice is perfect for a weeknight meal and will not only save you from those unhealthy takeaways but also will satiate your taste buds beautifully!

Why must you try this one pot chicken drumsticks and rice?

If you are a chicken lover then chances are that you have already tried many versions of chicken and rice, one of which may already be your absolute favorite!

However, I would urge you to try my version of one pot chicken drumsticks and rice which is so minimalistic yet so powerfully flavorful that you can’t help but fall in love with it!

The key flavor of my chicken and rice comes from the aromatics which is why I used a generous amount of it.

The only spice I used was two heaped teaspoons of cumin powder which imparts an earthy tone to the dish complementing the flavors of the aromatics. And it turned out to be a match made in heaven!

Chicken drumsticks are seared in oil to seal in the flavors of the spices into the meat and develop the brown crust on top that makes the drumsticks irresistibly tasty!

Finally the chicken drumsticks and rice are cooked together in the pot leaving you with chicken flavored fluffy rice and juicy chicken legs!

Hidden veggies sandwich

cream cheese veggie sandwich
Past couple of weeks has been so busy that I now look back and think how did we pull it off. Those frozen meals that we keep a stach of was super helpful and depleted pretty fast. Hence emerged easy ideas like this hidden veggies sandwich. Fairly easy to make this sandwich came together in under 15 minutes (use the mincer) and did not fall apart by lunch time. Here is the recipe for you to try

Ingredients to make hidden veggies sandwich.

Cream cheese: the soft cheese that is made with milk and cream is cream cheese. It is spreadable and mixes well with the vegetables to form a good spread. Most cream cheeses have added salt in them. You can us any rand available or home made ones.
Vegetables: my go to mix for this filling isΒ  basically firm salad veggies. carrots, bell pepper (capsicum) and zucchini form a good combination. You can add scallions and radishes too, if you like. The veggies I avoid are tomatoes, cucumber as they leach a lot of water making the filling soggy.
Herbs and black pepper: A good mix of fresh herbs like basil, thyme, oregano are lovely in this combination. You can use fresh or dried versions. Crushed black pepper adds a heat kick to the recipe. You can add pickled ginger or pickled peppercorns too. Red chilli flakes are optional.
Bread: choose one that you like to have. It can be sourdough, panini, foccacia or basic sandwich bread. We have used a multi grain sliced bread to make this batch. You can use wraps or soulaki too.

Let’s make this cream cheese sandwich

Keep the cheese our of the fridge: the cheese when in fridge firms up a bit. If we bring it to room temperature it is easy to mix the vegetables and to spread the mix. You don’t have to leave it out for long, just enough toll it feels soft.
Prep the vegetables: the veggies that go in the mix have to be finely chopped so they mix well with the cheese. This makes them overall spreadable. I use a manual mincer or hand chop them to make them small.
Prepare the cheese filling into the mixing bowl add the chopped vegetables, herbs and cheese.sprinkle black pepper powder and give it a good mix till they arr evenly mixed.
Make the sandwiches: lay out the bread and top it with the cheese filling. Spread it evenly.the thickness of the filling is up to you.Β  Slice it into halves or triangles and the sandwich is ready.

Can we make wraps with this filling?

The filling is the most flavorfulΒ part of this recipe. So it is entirely up to you if you want to make it a wrap, a sandwich or a pin wheel sandwich. Depending on what you want to make choose an appropriate bread.

Can the sandwich be made vegan?

Creamcheese will be the part that needs a change to make it vegan. Dairy free cream cheese or cashew cheese will help you achieve this. I have not personally tried it out yet. When you do, let us know how it matched you taste test.

Meal prep the cream sandwich

Ideally, I will not keep the sandwich for more than a day in the refrigerator. However,the filling stays good for almost a week. So week the filling ready to slather on the bread as we need.

Lunchbox idea with sandwich

On a busy at work day these sandwichΒ  ideas are welcome lunch boxes. I do top up our boxes with some fresh fruit or a handful of nuts etc. While making this sandwich, I added a handful of steamed edamame and some crackers to the lunchbox.
