On the Gram

A flavourful, nourishing warm bowl of spinach dal for dinner tonight. This dish is a variation of a traditional Kerala-style spinach lentil curry. Usually prepared using toor dal (yellow pigeon peas) and native spinach leaves but I decided to use a mix of lentils and pulses along with baby spinach leaves which are more easily available here. You can also replace spinach with other leafy greens; in fact, I have tried this recipe with beet greens, carrot greens, bok choy, drumstick leaves etc. Recipe link in bio..... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #lentils #currynight #keralacuisine #indianfood #bbcfood #f52grams #healthycuisines #foodiegram #eatrealfood #eatyourveggies #wellandgoodeats #foodgasm #melbournefoodie @saveurmag #huffposttaste #thatsdinner #indianrecipes

This chicken wonton soup is like a hug in a bowl! The broth is light and simple but really flavourful with long red chillies (less heat), plenty of garlic and ginger along with soy and sesame oil. The wontons are boiled in the broth itself and I also added some bok choy at the end to finish off. You can add mushrooms, radish or any vegetables/greens of your choice. I wanted it to be all about the wontons, hence kept it simple.

So this was how dinner looked like yesterday....Grilled porterhouse steaks with Greek seasoning served with rocket, citrus, radish, fennel salad and a yoghurt mustard dressing. And a nice glass of red on the side. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The restrictions might be easing but we are still being cautious and prefer our restaurant at home dinners. And thanks to @aldiaustralia, we can do so in an affordable manner without compromising on quality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #ALDIPartner #DineinwithALDI #ALDIeats #ALDICreation #ALDIHaul #gifted #australianbeef #beefsteak #stayhomeandcook #restaurantathome #melbourneblogger #igersaustralia #foodandfamily #foodwinewomen #melbournefoodphotographer #makeitdelicious #womeninfood #melbournefood

I am usually not a big fan of pre-marinated meats, but these Porterhouse steaks with Greek seasoning from @aldiaustralia are really delicious and super affordable too. So some grilling action going for our dinner tonight.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #ALDIPartner #DineinwithALDI #ALDIEats #ALDICreation #ALDIHaul #gifted #australianbeef #beefsteaks #foodstagram #barbecuetime #foodphotographer #inmybackyard #huffposttaste #thekitchn #abmlifeisbeautiful #melbourneblogger #igersmelbourne #melbournelife #dailyfoodfeed #foodlovers #stayhomeandcook #photooftheday

Powdered lentils (or lentil flour as known these days) is a common ingredient, often used to prepare baked goods, toddler food and these days, also popular as a healthier alternative to white flour. Apart from this, lentil flour is also an excellent thickening agent in stews, curries etc…. The idea to use lentil powder instead of whole lentils for a dal preparation came after seeing a friend prepare something similar. She said that it was her go to method if she had forgotten to soak the lentils or had very little time to prepare a simple dal to pair with steamed rice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So here's my version of a delicious, utterly satisfying Roasted Lentil Flour Curry using Chana dal/Bengal gram.

Since we seem to have bypassed autumn and gone straight into winter, it's time to get back onto the warm, comforting soup bandwagon. So a largish bowl of Potato and Parsnip Soup that will soon be topped with bacon crumbs and chilli oil. Yummm! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recipe link in bio.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thespiceadventuress #soup #soupoftheday #melbournewinter #tasteofhome #food52 #buzzfeedtasty #foodstagram #whatsfordinner #vegetarianrecipes #lifeandthyme #melbournefoodblogger #nourishyourbody #beautifulcuisines #stayhome #ramzanrecipes #nothingisordinary #f52grams #eatingfortheinsta #foodandwine #gloobyfood #winterwarmer

Extremely flavourful and delicious, this Andhra style egg curry is a wonderful accompaniment to steamed rice, rotis, naan, string hoppers, appams…..just about anything that can soak up the richness of the gravy.
