The Johnny: an Indian street food wrap

Posted on April 22, 2012 by Besma at Life Demiraged

So I was watching a food show about Indian street food, which featured this very inspiring versatile chapati wrap. What makes it unique is the beaten egg cooked with a chapati on top. The result is a chapati with a velvety thin omelette stuck to one side. The chapati is then filled egg side in with a cooked thick tomato, onion and cut up chicken mixture and rolled. I asked an Indian friend about the wrap and she said that it was called a Johnny. She didn’t know why.

And here’s my version. Continue reading →

Daydreaming: A loaf of sandwich bread

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Budour

About two years ago, I was inspired to make my own loaf of whole grain sandwich bread because I felt there was nothing in the market that was real enough for me. I got into the habit of making this bread every once in a while but it’s been over a year now. I miss the kneading and the waiting and the smell of a freshly baked loaf!

I should get back into the bread making habit. Having a sandwich using the bread you’ve made yourself is amazing!

I will let you know if I actually commit. Stay tuned!

Ruby red, delicately sweet and delicious! This weekend marked the first time I try watermelon jam. My aunt brought it with her to the chalet and we all devoured it. I’ll ask her if she can kindly share the recipe/method with you my lovely readers and me.

Gadgets: Lunch bugs

Posted on April 15, 2012 by Budour

I got these sandwich bags with bugs on them for my 7 year old nephew who is very much into bugs, insects and other slimy, gross creatures. I knew he would love it! And he did. It makes lunch time a bit more entertaining, well at least for a 7 year old.

Oh and I think Fred products are absolutely genius and so much fun.
