Splash of Thai taste in my kitchen

In my travels abroad I love to taste different cuisines. To be honest I am a foodie respecting the food of the world 🌎 

Thai restaurants are one of my favourite!

I love the greens 🥬 in their dishes whether in starters, salads, soups or main course!

I have Thai sauce in the refrigerator, Ceylon spinach in our garden, garlic and ginger in the pantry! With these ingredients along with boneless chicken, rice, butter, sesame oil, onion, green chilli, crushed pepper, 1 tsp. cornflour  and salt the dishes were ready for a delicious lunch!

Chicken spinach soup and chicken fried rice 👌👌

Chocolate pieces as desert ❤️

Grand and delicious lunch@home

Garlic the super star 🌟 in this simple dish. Others are turmeric, pepper, curry leaf and lemon juice. They all are side ingredients but they are the stars. Why to enhance our immunity power. That’s the special need of the hour. Let’s stay healthy to resist the attack of Corona virus 🦠. Now let’s come to the recipe. So simple, multiple roles for this humble and delicious dish. Good for snack, good to have with rice and roti.

Rose apple (jambaka) vine and candy

The seasonal fruit tree in our homestead. Rose apple or jamba tree. Every season used to distribute, do cooking like pickles, curd curry and theeyal. Also sometimes prepare wine. This time after taking the wine, thought to utilise the crushed fruit into soft candy. Made sugar syrup, dropped in the leftover fruit stuff, roll it and sun dried for three days. Soft candy done ✅Happy when it turned out delicious. Another recipe in my Covid 19 pandemic cooking!
