SMASH OR PASS? Burnt Aubergine & Spinach Curry. I

SMASH OR PASS? Burnt Aubergine & Spinach Curry. I re-made this beauty of an ode to Baingan ka Bharta (or Ringra no Oro for my Gujarati friends) from my blog last week and IMMEDIATELY fell in love again.
⁣
It’s gotta be something to do with the whole head of garlic that goes in.
⁣
The aubergines are cooked over an open flame until they’re completely blackened on the outside and soft inside. I usually live on the edge and stick them straight on the gas burner {SWIPE TO SEE} but you can also do them under the grill or on the BBQ.

Did I mention it’s the most popular recipe on my website of ALL TIME?! Recipe link is in my bio.
⁣
Word of wisdom: Poke holes in them beforehand or there could be an aub explosion!
⁣
SO close to getting through this entire post without using the 🍆 emoji once 😂 #sorrynotsorry

Have a beaut weekend! ☀️ #feedfeed #thecookfeed #bestofvegan

Hot tip: once you’ve made them you can hold them like this and pretend you’re a Jedi and/or wizard*.

PIZZA NIGHT! Swipe left to see the famous “South Asian Dad” 12-chilli pizza. It’s 🔥.

Describe your favourite pizza in the comments! Are you team thin base, thick base, no crust or downright FANCY crust? I love a thin base with a twisty pesto crust. 💯 points if you’re an olive lover. -50 points if you say pineapple! 🤣🙅🏽‍♀️🍍.

Vegan “Meatball” Pappardelle with melting mozz

Vegan “Meatball” Pappardelle with melting mozzarella 🤤. Should we do some pasta videos? I think we should do some pasta videos!

This was actually just our dinner today. So good I had to share.

INGREDIENTS:
500g good-quality tomato passata
2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 tsp garam masala
Salt, to taste
2 tsp olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
1 x pack @vivavivera Plant Meatballs
250g dried pappardelle, cooked according to packet instructions (60ml cooking water reserved)
A few basil leaves, optional
80g vegan mozzarella (á la @schoolnightvegan — check Richard’s website for the recipe, he’s a DON and defo part warlock)

METHOD
1. Air-fry the “meatballs” at 180C for 5 minutes.

2. Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the fennel seeds and garlic. Sizzle for 20 seconds.

3. Add the passata, garam masala and salt. Bring to the boil and add the “meatballs”. Cover with a lid. Simmer over a low heat for 10 mins.

4. Add the cooked pasta and 60ml pasta cooking water for some sauce-thickening starchiness. Season with salt.

5. Scatter with fun-sized nuggets of Richard’s excellent vegan mozzarella and grill for 5-6 mins until melted. Scatter with basil if you’re feeling fancy.

ALOO CHAAT POTATO SKINS. It’s a chaat-flavoured party in your mouth!

Not all heroes wear capes but all potatoes wear skins and that’s basically the same thing. In this recipe, the most underrated part of the potato (the skin, obvs) becomes the proud, chaat-bearing hero.

PUFFY MASALA POORI. Translation: Get the hell out

PUFFY MASALA POORI. Translation: Get the hell out of bed, mum’s made fried bread for breakfast!
⠀⠀
Poori is a mainstay in almost every Indian home. Growing up, the smell of my mum frying Pooris would be the one thing that was guaranteed to get me out of bed on a Sunday morning. It wasn’t something that happened often but when it did, I was the first one up and ready.
⠀⠀
Now I make her Masala Poori and Bateta nu Shaak for Bodhi. It’s one of the meals I know he will wolf down and ask for seconds. “More Punni?” he’ll squeak, and then my heart will melt faster than your can eat a garam-garam Poori 😭❤️
⠀⠀
Watch my step-by-step 🎥 Masala Poori video tutorial to learn how we make these at home. I have some detailed tips for how to ensure they rise beautifully and remain soft and crispy, without feeling oily. Full measurements and a full troubleshooting guide are up on the website too. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel! Link is in my bio.
⠀⠀
I’ll be posting up the Bateta nu Shaak recipe that goes with these Poori next week! Make them to have with chai in the meantime.

Wait, when it comes to Poori & Chai, are you a dipper or not a dipper?

Many years ago, I spent some time in Kenya. Both m

Many years ago, I spent some time in Kenya. Both my parents were born in East Africa. It was here where I first noticed someone being treated differently because of the colour of their skin. I was four years old.

I returned some years later, expecting things to be different. They were not. At a non-commercial premises, I noticed something that has no place in society. A group of black employees in a room of non-black people, expected to sit on the floor to eat. Any place where people are to eat and exist separately from others because of the colour of their skin or social status has a fundamental sickness. It was 2013.

It has long been common for wealthy Asians in Africa to employ black people from the local community. They work in their homes and gardens; cooking, cleaning, maintaining. Some employers are kind, and some are not. There is no excuse for the latter.

I feel it is problematic for south Asians to employ the “us too” standpoint amidst the horrific injustices taking place against the black community. Not just in the US, but far and wide. Not just now, but for centuries. For our own communities are implicit in this too. This doesn’t erase the very real and very horrific histories of other former colonies. It does, however, mean we should have the humanity to do more.

Racial hierarchy exists everywhere. Colonialism exists, and in many capacities. We cannot close our eyes and pretend it’s an external problem. Or a victim:oppressor problem. Racist violence isn’t unique to the US. It is ingrained within every society, at every level. Western standards of beauty: Fair skin, a small nose and light eyes are coveted within the Asian subcontinent and beyond. It is rooted in class and caste. We cannot ignore our own biases, unconscious or otherwise.

I speak of my experiences because it’s what I know. I still have a lot more to learn. Every human being has a responsibility to act against the poisonous racism within our nations. Let’s educate ourselves. Listen. Reflect. Be better. Do better.
