I had originally made a Sri-Lankan Egg Curry after I saw it made on a particular episode of Masterchef Australia a while back. I think I was more attracted to the shiny brown gravy that the eggs were placed in than the eggs themselves. My version of the egg curry is not like that, because personally I like the balance of flavours when it comes to tomato based curries – Sugar and Salt, both go together.
This particular recipe is super easy to make and works brilliantly for a fast meal and if you are not so fond of peeling the egg shells, then try breaking the eggs on the final gravy and letting the eggs cook on it. The result is equally scrumptious!
Ingredients:
2 Cloves (lauṅg)
1 tsp cumin seed (Jeera)
2 Cinnamon Sticks
3 Dry Red Chillies
2 tsp Coconut Powder
1 tsp Coriander (Dhaniya Powder)
1 tsp Red Chilli Powder
Two tomatoes (pureed)
1 Onion (Chopped)
3 tsp Coconut Oil

Carrot Pancakes with Orange syrup and Caramelized Bananas So my first MAJOR Sunday breakfast brunch was a success and one of the two favourite recipes that I took away from the event were super classy and also super simple. The easiest one featured bananas with a twist which made them taste even better than they usually do. But I guess you add butter to anything good and it automatically gets better. I also took my love for fresh orange juice to the next level and transformed it into a syrup that would definitely take the place of blueberry jam on my breakfast table. The following recipes are…

CroissantsEveryone loves Croissants. You are inhuman if you don’t. And after I finally made them from scratch yesterday I found out exactly why they taste so freaking brilliant. Because of all the butter. And because of all the Work! I thought making tarts was work but after yesterday I could makes those with one hand. Okay that is reaching out too far, I need two hands but I not so much time and effort. If I could make a comparison, I would do it with the Laccha Paratha that we all love so much. Or the Kerala Parotta, with…

Cupcakes TrioI don’t know what is it about cupcakes that make them look so cute! I think it’s the tiny bobbles of sweet spongy cake, covered with colourful frosting. My other theory is that since they are so tiny in size no one could hate them, even weight watching women. Afterall, how something that tiny could could do any damage at all! So yesterday I tried out a trio of cupcakes minus the frosting… The choco-raisin, vanilla and red-velvet. Yes, I was a little stingy with the red colouring so the red-velvet look more like pink-velvet but they tasted just wonderfully sweet…
