Jotaro’s Thoughts

It’s always a good time with Noriaki. I was happy that y/n and him were able to have fun with each other , so when Sunday came by and I had to wake her up to send Noriaki off , her soft pout hidden under the drowsiness of sleep said more than enough . Noriaki himself gave her a warm hug before leaving , promising that he’ll keep in touch in spite of work . So we dropped him off and he whispered ;

“I don’t know why exactly she’s living with you but continue being a good friend to her , just like how you were during my hard times.” 

The megaphone announced that the train was soon to depart , and he shouted much to the annoyance of everyone taking an 8:00 am train , 

“I’ll be seeing you soooonnn! Give Samosa my pets!”

Y/n laughed and to my shock shouted back, 

“Bye Noriaki, I’ll miss you.”

As we’re walking back to the now desolate parking area, I say;

“What should we have for dinner?”

“We haven’t even had breakfast yet.” She snorts out while typing down for her favourite radio channel.

“Yeah but that’s easy , toasted eggs and bread with tea.”

“What if I wanted to have coffee today?”She cheekily questions 

“I’d tell you to suffer in silence as you drink your tea.”

“ ‘Suffer in silence’ Who is this person teaching you these Kenyan phrases?” She laughs out, eyes wide from being fully awake.

“Who knows?”I responded with a smirk.

I haven’t been cooking as much ever since y/n moved in so I’ve been thinking of making some pumpkin based pastries despite being in the middle of the dry season . She says that she’s not a fan of savoury pumpkin and butternut meals but she loves it in chapati and desserts. We can start with pumpkin cinnamon rolls then based on how hellish the work week has been I can make a different dessert every week.

“Um Jotaro , can I ask you a question?”she asks, whilst looking at me adorably.

“What is it ?” I reply hoping I softened my gravely voice.

“Are you aro/ace?”

Why this now? Was it because I’ve never brought someone home? 

“No, what would make you think that?” I respond , though the shakiness gives away my uneasiness.For what? I don’t know.

“I’ve never seen you interested in anyone , it just confuses me since you’re well liked. Now that I’m thinking about it , I’ve never seen you with anyone.”she brings out, eyebrows scrunched to the middle.

“I have had partners but to be honest , they weren’t fulfillling .Why the sudden interest in my love life? Are you finding yourself attracted to me?” I smugly question . My insides however , were swirling of panic and the butterflies in my stomach flapped in hope.

“You are a very attractive guy Jotaro . I think you are well aware of that.” She responds whilst overlooking the Nyali bridge we are passing through. I’m glad she couldn’t see me. I’ve never heard her call me attractive so I smiled widely. 

The empty roads cut my driving time to half and we were soon walking into the apartment . Samosa immediately lapped around me and I carried her up in greeting.

Y/n heads back to bed , saying she’s slightly drowsy and I prepare tea. The morning is a bit slow so I enjoyed sitting out on the balcony overlooking the blue ocean . After a while, I realise that the sun is directly overhead and I need to get on with lunch and dinner. I prepare the chicken and potato wedges for the oven and as I put them in , y/n walks out with her baggy shirt and a yawn.

“Did you have a nice nap?” I ask while getting my cinnamon ingredients.

“Yes, what are you making ?” She questions whilst sniffing around and analysing the growing number of ingredients on the kitchen island.

“Pumpkin cinnamon rolls with chicken and potato wedges.” I say whilst adjusting the scale.

“I like that. Can I help?” She doesn’t even let me get a word out , already beside me.

“I know all you want to do is sift the flour and eat the icing sugar.” 

“No I don’t”

“So you’ll knead?”This is what I’m sure will deter her.

“We have a functioning stand mixer.” she retorts 

“I hate using machines. I only bought that for you .”I respond smugly which is received by a huff. I meekly add:

“You can keep me company while I make it.” 

She smiles and responds and sits down . We have slow conversations about everything going on in our lives and by the time I start kneading it's silent , Samosa is playing with her toys and y/n is intently watching how I knead. 

“You knead so intensely, won’t you get finger cramps?” she quietly asks,brushing her fingers where my veins are prominent.

“I don't find it that intense. '' I sheepishly replied.

“It is intense, your veins are practically popping from your hands.”She retorts

“No, my hands are just that defined. It’s bound to happen considering my exercise routine.''I respond as I roll the dough.She remains silent, carefully watching how lather the  cinnamon sugar onto the rectangular-ish dough. As I cut up the rolls and place them on  the tray, the oven dings and y/n goes for the pink mitts that are so out of place in the white , modern kitchen . She removes the chicken first, smiling at the crisp , golden chicken skin and places it on the table alongside the potato wedges. 

“This looks good . Aren’t you glad I taught you how to cook?” She says with a laugh.

“I knew how to cook, I just didn’t know how to make it less mediocre.”

She scoffs at that, and I place the cinnamon rolls in . I take out the plates as y/n sets up something  for us to watch. This time she chose The Looney Tunes Show. I’m sensing a pattern in animal related content and I find it sweet that she’s always trying to include Samosa in whatever we watch .Therapy is doing wonders to her character because I’m noticing a side to her that I’ve never seen before and we’ve known each other since we were two. 

She never shared her toys and refused to help me ride a bicycle despite being better than me. If my sandcastles were bigger or better, she would knock them down then cry to her mom when I’d start fighting with her . She couldn’t stand the fact that I was taller than her, neat Doc Martens’ subtly pressed at my toes whenever we’d meet . Honestly ,I disliked it whenever mom said she’s coming over.I only began tolerating her when we were in university and she mellowed out a bit. Though the princess behaviour was still there , her competitive behaviour was aimed at her academic rivals thus making us have an acquaintanceship.

She’s now a lot more softer. She smiles wider. Her eyes widen at any intriguing thing she sees. She easily welcomes people in her life. I’ve never seen her this carefree ,curiously watching what I do. I mean she now knows why I moved to Kenya . I hope to keep her like this forever . Living with her has made me a bit protective of her. No wonder her mom went overboard. 

“Jotaro, Samosa is trying to take my chicken leg. Can you please give her her own meat?”y/n says, hoisting her arm that held the same chicken for a leaping Samosa to not swipe it.

I chuckle as I cut up Samosa’s chicken piece to smaller pieces, catcalling her to her bowl at which she stops terrorising y/n.

We end up spending the entire afternoon watching the show y/n munching off the cinnamon rolls . By seven pm the two were dozing off , and we weren’t even halfway done with the first season. I clean up the kitchen and take Samosa to her bed .

“Y/n, go to bed.”

“Carry me.”She jokingly mumbles.

I did carry her . The mosquitoes were going to turn her to a buffet plus the couch is uncomfortable. This was definitely not because I didn’t want to interrupt her sleep. It certainly wasn’t because I was scared she’ll bump her head. She seems confused by me willingly hoisting her up bridal style on her bed, carefully laying her down.

“Thank you. Goodnight.”

I resisted giving her a forehead kiss. Too romantic…too parental. 

By Monday Morning, Noriaki informed us that he was halfway done with his journey back to Japan and a short video call was shared between us and him. Y/n shows him the cinnamon rolls he missed out on as Samosa lets out a cry for Noriaki to acknowledge her.

As I leave for work, y/n asks;

“My friend invited me for a fair that’s happening on the Waterfront, would you like to come?”Her eyes glanced up , anticipating my response.

“Is it on a weekend?”

“Yeah.This week.”

“Why not?”. She smiled back ,white teeth gleaming

It's unfair how she continues to catch me off guard . I’m anxious that my feelings are no longer platonic based on the quickness of my heartbeat when I so much as look at her.

“Bye, what would you like for supper?’

“I’ll cook rice and chicken katsu for us ,don’t worry about it.”

“What's gotten you in a cooking mood?”

I shrugged as I waved bye cause I too can't articulate what has turned me so domestic.

Exploring the Benefits of Multigrain Atta Ingredients for Holistic Health

In today’s health-conscious world, the choice of flour in our diets is more important than ever. With a rising awareness of the benefits of whole grains, multigrain atta ingredients have become a key focus for those seeking to improve their nutritional intake. Multigrain atta, made from a blend of various grains, seeds, and sometimes legumes, offers a nutritious alternative to traditional wheat flour. This blog delves into the diverse ingredients typically used in multigrain atta, their health benefits, and how incorporating them into your diet can lead to a healthier lifestyle.

Understanding Multigrain Atta

What is Multigrain Atta?

Multigrain atta is a flour blend composed of more than one grain type, often enriched with seeds and legumes to enhance its nutritional profile. Unlike refined flours, multigrain atta retains the bran and germ of the grains, ensuring that the fiber, vitamins, and minerals remain intact. This variety of ingredients not only boosts the health properties of the flour but also adds complexity and flavor to the bread, rotis, and other dishes prepared with it.

Common Ingredients in Multigrain Atta

A typical multigrain atta may include some or all of the following grains and seeds:

- Whole Wheat: Forms the base of most multigrain atta blends, providing structure and elasticity.

- Oats: Rich in beta-glucan, a fiber that helps reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

- Barley: Offers a wealth of fiber, particularly beta-glucan, and is good for digestive health.

- Ragi (Finger Millet): High in calcium and potassium, beneficial for bone health.

- Bajra (Pearl Millet): Provides essential amino acids and is high in iron.

- Jowar (Sorghum): Known for its protein quality and antioxidant properties.

- Flaxseeds: Add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, enhancing heart health.

- Sunflower Seeds: Packed with vitamin E, magnesium, and protein.

Health Benefits of Multigrain Atta Ingredients

Enhanced Nutritional Content

Each ingredient in multigrain atta brings its own set of nutrients to the table, creating a well-rounded profile that benefits overall health. The inclusion of multiple grains ensures a higher intake of fiber, which aids in digestion and sustained energy release. This fiber-rich composition also helps in managing weight by keeping you fuller for longer.

Lower Risk of Chronic Diseases

The diverse ingredients in multigrain atta contribute to a lower risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. This is due to their collective ability to improve cholesterol levels, reduce blood pressure, and prevent high blood sugar spikes.

Gluten-Free Options for Sensitivity and Celiac Disease

For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, multigrain atta can be tailored to exclude gluten-containing grains like wheat and barley. Ingredients like buckwheat, quinoa, and amaranth can be used instead to provide a gluten-free flour blend that is still rich in nutrients and fiber.

Incorporating Multigrain Atta in Your Diet

Cooking and Baking with Multigrain Atta

Multigrain atta can be used in various recipes, from traditional Indian flatbreads like chapatis and parathas to modern baking recipes for bread, muffins, and pancakes. It adds a nutty flavor and dense texture to baked goods, making them not only tastier but also more filling.

Recipes to Try

- Multigrain Rotis: Combine multigrain atta with water and a pinch of salt to make dough. Roll out into thin circles and cook on a hot griddle for a nutritious alternative to regular rotis.

- Healthy Multigrain Pizza Base: Use multigrain atta as the base for a homemade pizza dough, adding herbs and olive oil for flavor.

- Multigrain Pancakes: Mix multigrain atta with eggs, milk, and a touch of honey for a hearty breakfast option.

Conclusion: Embracing Multigrain Atta for a Healthier Future

Multigrain atta ingredient offers a fantastic opportunity to enhance your dietary fiber intake, diversify your nutrient sources, and enjoy a richer palette of flavors and textures in your meals. As we become more aware of the impact of diet on health, switching to multigrain atta is a simple yet effective step toward a healthier lifestyle.

FAQs About Multigrain Atta Ingredients

Q: Is multigrain atta good for weight loss?**

A: Yes, the high fiber content in multigrain atta can help promote weight loss by making you feel fuller for longer, thus reducing overall calorie intake.

Q: Can multigrain atta be used in the same proportions as regular wheat flour?

A: Yes, multigrain atta can generally be used in the same proportions as wheat flour in most recipes, although you might need to adjust the moisture content slightly due to the higher absorption rate of some grains.

Q: Are there any side effects of switching to multigrain atta?

A: Some people might experience increased bloating or gas when they first increase their fiber intake. It’s recommended to increase fiber gradually to allow your digestive system to adjust.

Q: How should multigrain atta be stored?

Took the bus from Mongu to Lusaka, Zambia. It was a long but calm, easy ride (thank God). My seat mate bought this roasted cassava and ate it for breakfast. It’s similar to a potato.

The bus trip took us through Kafue National Park which was a nice treat. We also crossed the river below.

The National Museum of Zambia, Lusaka branch.

I don’t know what it is about iron smelting that I find so fascinating! However, have a read of this very interesting process to make iron, which then is formed into tools and other useful products. 

Check out the do’s and don’ts at the bottom. Blaming women for arousing a man and, hence, she cannot be present during this process!

Met these incredible young people, whilst browsing through the museum. All three of them go to the law school next door.

I asked them if they’d like to go to lunch later, and, which student is going to shoot down a free meal?! 😊

Very thoughtful and engaging kids. The future leaders of Zambia.. as long as they don’t leave the country! Loved the conversations.

Whilst walking around in Lusaka one day, I ran into this street vendor selling chapati. Chapati is a flat Indian bread that is super tasty. In Lusaka, they add eggs and make an omelette and chapati roll. Yumyum Yumyumyum 😋 🤤

You bet I smiled after eating it.

What Are the Various Types of Indian Bread, and How Are They Made?

Indian cuisine offers a diverse array of bread, and the type of bread can vary greatly by region. Here are some of the most popular types of Indian bread and a brief description of how they are traditionally made:

1. Roti (Chapati):

Ingredients: Whole wheat flour (atta) and water.

Method: Atta is mixed with water to form a dough. Small portions of the dough are rolled into flat, round discs and cooked on a grill (tava) until they puff up.

2. Naan:

Ingredients: All-purpose flour (maida), yeast, yogurt, milk, ghee, and sometimes eggs.

Method: The dough is made using a mix of the above ingredients and allowed to rise. Small portions of dough are stretched into oval shapes, brushed with ghee or butter, and baked in a tandoor (clay oven).

3. Paratha:

Ingredients: Whole wheat flour (atta) for the outer layer and various fillings (e.g., spiced potatoes, vegetables, paneer, lentils) for the stuffing.

Method: The dough is rolled into a circle, and a filling is placed in the centre. The dough is sealed around the filling and then rolled out. It's cooked on a grill with oil or ghee.

4. Puran Poli:

Ingredients: A sweet flatbread with a filling made from chana dal (split Bengal gram), jaggery, cardamom, and ghee.

Method: To create the filling, the chana dal is cooked, mashed, and mixed with jaggery and cardamom. The dough is made from wheat flour. A small dough ball is flattened, and a portion of the filling is enclosed. It's then rolled and cooked with ghee.

5. Bhatura:

Ingredients: All-purpose flour (maida), yogurt, and baking powder.

Method: The dough is made using the ingredients above and allowed to rest. It's rolled into large circles and deep-fried, producing a fluffy, crisp bread.

6. Tandoori Roti:

Ingredients: Whole wheat flour (atta).

Method: Like naan, tandoori roti is cooked in a tandoor, but it is usually made with whole wheat flour and water without adding yeast.

These are just a few examples of the diverse bread options in Indian cuisine. Each type of bread has its unique ingredients and preparation methods, often influenced by regional traditions and culinary preferences.

What's more, this recipe excludes common allergens such as peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, soy, eggs, and more, making it suitable for those with dietary restrictions. Whether you're a vegan enthusiast or simply looking for a unique and allergy-safe dessert, this Vegan Olya Naral Karanji is a must-try delicacy.

Ingredients – Stuffing:

Freshly grated coconut – 1 and ½ cups

Jaggery – grated – ¾ cups

Sugar – ¼ cup

Salt – ¼ Tsp

Cardamom powder – ½ tsp

Method for Stuffing:

Mix the freshly grated coconut, grated jaggery, sugar, salt, and combine thoroughly.

Cook the mixture on medium flame until it starts leaving the sides dry.

Add cardamom powder and mix well.

Ingredients – Covering:

All-purpose flour / Maida – ½ cup

Whole wheat flour – ½ cup

Vegetable oil – 2 TBSP

Salt to taste

Water

Method for Covering:

In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour (maida), whole wheat flour, salt, and vegetable oil.

Mix until the ingredients resemble bread crumbs, and the dough holds its form when pressed.

Gradually add a little water at a time and knead the mixture into a soft dough, similar to chapati dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30-40 minutes.

Method for Karanji:

Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and roll each part into a large chapati, not too thin.

Place one chapatti down and spread a layer of vegan ghee or unsalted butter on it. Dust it with all-purpose flour.

Place the second chapatti on top and repeat the process.

Now, lift one side of the layered chapattis and start rolling them tightly into a long roll. Use cornflour to prevent sticking.

Roll the dough in one direction only, stretching it to almost double its length.

With a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into approximately 1-inch pieces. Separate each piece and place them vertically, pressing lightly.

Keep all the dough covered with a moist cloth to prevent drying.

To form each karanji, take a piece of dough and roll it into a circle from the center to the edges without flipping it.

Fold the circular disc in half, fill it with the prepared stuffing, and brush the edges with water to seal them.

Repeat this process to make all the karanjis.

Deep-Frying:

Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying until it reaches a medium-high temperature.

Deep fry all the karanjis until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.

Conclusion:

Our Vegan Olya Naral Karanji is a traditional Indian delicacy that combines the flavors of freshly grated coconut and jaggery within a crispy vegan-friendly crust. Plus, it's free from common allergens, making it a safe and delightful treat for a wide range of dietary preferences. So, why not treat yourself to these delicious coconut dumplings and savor the taste of India while adhering to your dietary needs?

500ml fizzy water

100g red cabbage

1 medium tomato

½ red onion

1-2 green Indian finger chillies

20g (5-6 tbsp) coriander

2 tbsp sunflower oil - I like Mr Organic

6 pre-made chapatis

Vegan mayo (I like Leon’s), sriracha and more coriander, to serve

To make the batter, put the gram flour in a large bowl, add the turmeric and salt, whisk to mix, then slowly add the fizzy water, whisking as you go. Put to one side while you very finely shred the cabbage and chop the tomato, onion, chillies and coriander. Throw them all into the batter and stir to combine.

Put a teaspoon of oil in a nonstick pan roughly the same size as your chapatis and heat until very hot. When very hot, ladle in a sixth of the batter and swirl it around the pan quickly, so it covers the whole surface. Leave to cook for about two and a half minutes, until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another minute and a half on the other side. Lay a chapati on top of the pancake to warm up, then flip out on to a plate (so the chapati is now on the bottom) and repeat with the remaining oil, batter and chapatis – the pan will be very hot, so you may need to reduce the cooking time for the other pancakes.

To serve, drizzle over your choice of condiment – I like a combination of sriracha and mayo with some fresh coriander – roll up tight and eat.

(Looking at the menu) Can I get a good news but boneless, a funny salad on the side, and a large Diet Dr. Cringe, please?

Boneless you say, I think I can do that

Funny salad today is out of Uganda, because everything is better when it's Ugandan

What is Ugandan Rolex, you may ask.

Rolex is classic Ugandan street food. The similarity to the luxury watch brand is happenstance: Once upon a time the vendors who made this treat called out “Rolled Eggs” – nothing more. The basic idea is eggs cooked with cabbage, onion, tomato, and sometimes peppers, which is then wrapped in chapati.

Ugandan breakfast burrito, and now I'm hungry. I'll take this over the watch any day.

And for the diet Dr Cringe we've got this little whoopsie out of Malaysia

Gonna throw in a wholesome toy surprise for free, even though this isn't a kids meal.

Day 98 – Pineapple Bay: no Wifi, no electricity, no hot water

We woke up in the morning and realised we needed to get on to our Tanzanian e-visas. We were surprised to learn that as J is a US citizen, she has to apply for a special category of visa, which is just for US citizens, the multi-entry tourist visa. This basically means that instead of paying $50, J’s visa costs $100. We also learned that we were supposed to file the application 10 days before departure to Tanzania, and we did it within 3. We will see what happens, but we may need to have to try to go to Tanzania without a visa and blague our way in.

Breakfast at the Lakeview Regency resort was very good. J had hardboiled eggs and tried the ‘rolex’, which is a rolled up piece of chapati bread with a sort of omelette inside. S had a hardboiled egg and the ‘g-nut matoke’, which was matoke in a thick sauce. S also had the passionfruit juice without sugar. It was very good and diabetic friendly. J had the watermelon and pineapple. She also got to try the African spiced tea, which is made with boiled milk, tea and fresh ginger. She loves that tea now.

After breakfast, we met Dona and headed to Kampala. On our way out of the hotel, we drove by a pair of golden-crested cranes, which landed right next to the car. During the drive, Dona asked S for business advice, which S happily provided. As usual, we passed through a number of police checkpoints. However, at one of them, we were pulled over by the traffic police, who wear white military-esque uniforms. Dona had to get out of the car to speak with the police officer. We couldn’t hear what they were saying, but we saw lots of frustrated hand gestures. After around 10 minutes, Dona grabbed his wallet from the car and went back out to speak with the police officer. A few minutes later, he got back into the car. The police officer stuck his head into the car and asked how we were doing. We said we were fine. After the police officer let us go, Dona explained that there was an argument about insurance on the vehicle, which was thankfully resolved. Dona did tell us if we weren’t in the car, he might have been taken to unofficial police ‘safe custody’ and expected to pay a small sum to be released.

Dona had arranged for our COVID test in Kampala, the capital and largest city in Uganda. Once we arrived in Kampala, we stopped at a service station and were met by a lab technician. The technician jumped into our car and took down our passport information. We enjoyed our 13th COVID test of the trip. Oddly, this one involved a Qtip between the tongue and the jaw, which was the least intrusive we’ve experienced. We handed him the equivalent of USD160 in cash and he headed off, promising that we would receive our results within 48 hours. Poor Dona took this time to snack on a chapati. He isn’t used to our two meals a day schedule and has been missing having proper lunches. As we continued our drive, we passed by more interesting roadside food stalls. At first we were seeing sweet potato stalls and then entered an area with smoked and fresh tilapia. Dona pointed out how big the tilapia were (around 3kg each) and said they had been caught nearby at Lake Victoria. Some of the stalls were also selling beautiful, handmade drums made with animal skin.

We then drove to the pier, where a boat would take us to our next hotel, Pineapple Bay. To get on to the pier, we had to have our hands sanitised, our temperatures checked and had to walk through a disinfectant spray chamber. This is the first time we have seen this on our entire travels. The smell of the disinfectant bothered J and she wondered what would happen if the disinfectant had been sprayed on to nice clothing. After he dropped us off at the pier, Dona waved goodbye so he could have two well-deserved days with his family in Kampala. Apparently his children miss him.

Pineapple Bay is a 5-star hotel located on Bulago island in Lake Victoria. It is owned by the CEO of Pepsi in Uganda. We took a small speedboat from the pier, which was driven by Anderson (Andy), a supervisor. The trip was 19 miles and took around 45 minutes. S enjoyed getting sprayed in the face from time to time as the boat bounced through the lake.

We arrived at Pineapple Bay pier and were greeted with the usual spray of hand sanitiser. We were given hot towels and fresh pineapple juice, which was delicious. We then got our briefing about the hotel and were taken to our room and given a room tour by our butler, Fred. Our room is a massive villa. It has a full-sized reception room with working fireplace, a kitchenette, a massive bedroom and an enormous bathroom with a jacuzzi tub. The staff had decorated the bed with fresh flowers, which said “I heart U”. As all the windows have screens, there is allegedly no need for mosquito netting. And as there is allegedly air conditioning, there is no need for a fan. But guess what, if the electricity is not on, the air conditioning does not work. In addition, even when it is on, the air conditioning only comes on for 3 minutes and goes off for a minute at a time. This is as annoying as it sounds. We learned that the electricity was not working as the generator only runs during certain periods of the day (for 3 hours in the morning and for 5.5 hours at night). When the generator is not on, the place is powered by an inverter, which turned out to be broken and did not work. The WiFi was also cut off, so they are in the process of getting it back online. After we complained profusely, Andy bought some data for his phone and let J use his hotspot. We explained how important this was given the uncertainty of our travel to Tanzania in 3 days. J tried to take a hot bath and then a hot shower, but the water was not hot, so she had to take another cold shower.

Given that there is no electricity in the room, we headed back to the main area for some wine. As the hotel is located on the lake, there are many different bird species on the property. At around 7pm, we noticed it had gotten completely dark and there were no lights on in the seating area. We were told that the lights are broken and were asked to move to the dining area. Thankfully there is another seating area next to the dining area, with working lights. While we were sitting there, however, the power went off for 5 minutes before being restored. We are still trying to work through our Tanzania trip. This may be the toughest hurdle we’ve faced.

Dinner was a three-course affair. J had the carrot ginger soup and grilled chicken breast. S had the zucchini fritters and the beef stroganoff (with rice, not noodles). The food was very tasty and we finished it off with caramelised pineapple, which S loved. J prefers fresh pineapple. J had another African spiced tea as a digestif and S had a Ugandan coffee liquor.

We returned to the room. This isn’t as easy as you might think as Pineapple Bay is taking this opportunity to tear up and rebuild their walkways and the walkways are not lit. This means that you have to navigate your way around the freshly added dirt, grassy area and ongoing renovations. While J was in the washroom, there was another power cut. This one was around 10 minutes. As S is used to getting around without seeing, he came to the washroom to escort J to bed. J turned on the expensive roaming on her phone for the first time on this trip to tell Dona we needed to get the hell out of here as there is no internet, no hot water, no fan/AC and no electricity.

The Secret to Successful Celebrations: Bulk Instant Chapati for Effortless Feasts

Celebrations are synonymous with good food, laughter and cherished moments. The heart of any great celebration is the feast, where family and friends gather to enjoy delicious food. However, hosting a large event can be daunting, especially when it comes to preparing food for a large crowd. This is where Instant Chapati Madurai comes to the rescue. This article explores how instant chapati can make your celebration a hassle-free affair, ensuring your guests are well-fed and you have more time to enjoy the festivities.

Understanding the Instant Chapati: What is Instant Chapati? Instant chapati is a batter made from whole wheat flour, water and essential spices. It is rolled into flat discs, partially cooked and then packaged in bulk. This ready-to-cook solution allows you to quickly prepare fresh chapatis without the hassle of making dough from scratch.

Why choose Instant Chapati? Using bulk instant chapati offers several advantages, making it a great choice for large gatherings:

Convenience: Saves time and effort in making dough.

Consistency: Ensures consistent taste and texture.

Freshness: Offers freshly made chapatis with minimal effort.

Efficiency: Streamlines the cooking process, allowing you to focus on other tasks.

Benefits of an Instant Chapati for Celebrations:

Time-saving solution- One of the most important advantages of using whole instant chapati is the time saved in the kitchen. Traditional chapati making involves kneading the dough, rolling it out and cooking each chapati individually. This process can be very time-consuming, especially when feeding a large crowd. Total Instant Chapati eliminates these steps and allows you to prepare large quantities quickly and efficiently.

Consistent quality- Consistency is essential when serving food at a celebration. Total Instant Chapati ensures that every chapati is the same size, thickness and taste. This consistency enhances the dining experience for your guests and reflects favourably on your cooking skills.

Easy storage and handling- Bulk instant chapati is packaged for easy storage and handling. It usually comes in vacuum-sealed packs or resealable bags to maintain freshness until you’re ready to use it. This convenience extends to handling and cooking, making it an effortless addition to your celebration preparations.

Cost effective- Making chapatis from scratch is labour intensive and requires a considerable amount of resources. Instant Chapati Madurai, on the other hand, is a cost-effective alternative. By buying in bulk, you can reduce the overall cost of the sabbath, making it an economical choice for larger events.

Incorporating Instant Chapati into your menu:

A traditional Indian feast- For a traditional Indian feast, instant chapati is perfect with a variety of dishes:

Curries: Serve with rich and flavorful curries like Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala or Lamb Rogan Josh.

Vegetable dishes: Fill with sauteed or roasted vegetables like aloo gobi or baingan bharta.

Lentils: Enjoy with protein-rich lentil dishes like dal makhani or chana masala.

Fusion cooking- Whole instant chapati can be incorporated into fusion dishes for a modern twist:

Chapati Tacos: Use chapatis as taco shells and fill them with seasoned meats, beans and fresh salsa.

Chapati Pizzas: A quick and easy pizza alternative topped with tomato sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings.

Chapati Quesadillas: Fill with cheese and veggies, then fold and grill a delicious quesadilla.

Breakfast and Brunch- Incorporate Total Instant Chapati into your breakfast or brunch menu:

Chapati and Eggs: Serve with scrambled eggs, omelettes or egg curry.

Chapati Sandwiches: Use chapatis to make breakfast sandwiches with eggs, bacon and cheese.

Sweet Chapatis: A sweet breakfast treat drizzled with honey, and topped with fruit, or nut butter.

The secret to successful celebrations is in the details, and a total instant sabbath is one detail that can make a significant difference. By incorporating this convenient, cost-effective and sustainable option into your event planning, you can ensure your guests enjoy a delicious feast without the usual kitchen mess. Whether you’re hosting a traditional Indian feast, exploring fusion cuisine or serving a special breakfast, Instant Chapati Madurai is your secret weapon for effortless feasting. Adopt this innovative solution and elevate your celebrations to new heights.

الماكلة التونسية - الجزء 1  Tunisian Food - Part 1

اححححم.. هيا يا جماعة حضرولي رواحكم و فلوسكم خاطر بعد البوست هذا باش تجريو على أول حانوت ملاوي 😂😅

في البوست هذا باش نحكي على أبن " تحريشات " تونسية و ماكلات خفاف مش كسكسي و ملوخية.. هاذوكا تو يجي وقتهم أما توّا خلينا في الخفيف 😍

P.s. this post is suggested by @flying-overseas 💕

Disclaimer: I do not own any credits of the pictures, they are all taken from instagram following the hashtag #Tunisian_Food and @tastyTunisia  

أشهر الأكلات الخفيفة " التحريشات " التونسية:

The most popular Tunisian fast food (snacks):

1) الفريكَساي / L'Fricassé:

Super small round sandwiches made out of bread-like dough, get fried and then filled with harissa sauce, mashed or just boiled potatoes, tuna and boiled egg pieces, olives and pickles to your liking. Heaven 😍

2) بريك / Brik:

This is the official sponsor of the holy month of Ramadan 🙌 It is most popular with eggs on the inside, tuna is a bonus but you can also put potatoes and/or cheese.

The myth says that before, L’brik used to be a test for the suitor who wants to propose to a girl. The girl’s family gives him a brika and he has to eat it without the egg yolk dripping. If he managed to keep clean, he is a decent man, if not, he fails the test and doesn’t get the girl. I lowkey wish they bring back this tradition all over again :D شقوالكم يا جماعة؟  

3) الملاوي - L’mlewi :

The most popular fast food in the north of the country, and rapidly building a huge fanbase in the south, “محبوبة الجماهير“, is very similiar to the Moroccan “ msammen” and can be eaten with something sweet for breakfast or something spicy or salty for a snack throughout the day or night. You can put absolutely anything and everything in it, different sauces, different salads, different kinds of meaty products, just fill it, roll it around and take a bite at the heavenly treat  😍 I usually take mine with an omelette, tuna, and extra cheese  😍 😍 w’entouma? 

4) الشباتي - Chapati :

Just quite as popular, chapati goes hand in hand with his friend L’mlewi. The difference is in the dough, as chapati is more solid and is more bread-like. IT is basically the same as Moroccan “  batbout “, only bigger in size. Unlike L’mlewi, chapati can’t be eaten for breakfast with something sweet, it is rather made for a spicy snack or meal. Perfection! 

5) الكفتاجي - Kaftegi: 

Contrary to popular belief, Kaftegi doesn’t contain any “ Kafta “ :D ( it’s a funny story that happened to a Moroccan student based in Tunisia that I’ve seen on youtube, never mind me ). This dish is made out of 4 main vegetables: pumpkin, potatoes, eggplant ( if you like them ) and green pepper. you cut them into the smallest cubes and then fry them ( The healthier way is to cook them in the oven) but as Tunisians we like our food dripping with frying oil, it’s bad for the health but good for the mouth!!! And you mix them with eggs and tomato sauce (also to your liking). Some people like to eat it as a dish with fish or meat to the side, others like to put it in a piece of bread like a sandwich filling. It’s crazy delicious either way! 

6) كسكروت عربي - kaskrout 3arbi, aka, the traditional sandwich: 

No words, you just have to look at the picture and you’ll be drooling! Take a baguette, cut it open, fill it with harissa sauce and whatever you can find in the kitchen, squeeze in the french fries and olives, and enjoy !!!  Also, truth to be told, it’s number one ingredient is Tuna  😍 😍

7) صحن تونسي - s’han tounsi aka the Tunisian plate: 

This mysterious mythic plate is just a mixture of everything. You go to a local restaurant that specialtizes in traditional food and you order a s’han tounsi and you just enjoy the mouthwatering taste of everything mixed together. The salads, the sauces, the olive oil, the harissa, the pickles, the tuna, the tastira, the fries.. It is the best representation of this country: A very delicious mixture with a unique taste!

8) عجة - Ojja: 

This dish is also known as Shakshuka and it’s not exclusively Tunisian, some other countries in the Mediterranian also claim it, but this is the Tunisian version of it. Ojja is efficient because it doesn't take long to cook, you only need eggs, garlic, tomato sauce, and a pan. The most popular way to make it is with Merguez, which is the Tunisian version of sausage. The fancy way is with seafood ( ohhh yessss ), it can also be sophisticated and you can get as creative with it as you want! 

9) لبلابي  - Lablebi: 

Now, this is the King, the Emperador of all Tunisian dishes! Ironically, its name is purely Turkish. “Leblebi” is one of the Turkish words for “chickpea” (الحمص). And taking into consideration the history we have with the Ottomans, it breaks my heart to say to my fellow Tunisians that nope, we don’t own the patent of this dish! However, what we can take credits for though is the recipe, becuse Tunisian Lablebi is made in a different way than Iranian or Turkish chickpea dish. I googled it :D So yes, this is made out of chickpea soup and is the number one dish in cold weather, and yes, you guessed right, we put tuna on it!! 

10) السلاطة المشوية والطاجين - Slata Mechwiya ( aka Grilled Salad ) & Tagine : 

To clarify, the Tunisian Tagine and the Moroccan Tagine are two different things! The Moroccan Tagine gets its name from the hotpot its cooked in. It’s the whole dish and it can be a vegetable tagine, meat tagine, etc.. While the Tunisian Tagine is a sort of pie, that gets baked in the oven and cut into small pieces and eaten as a side piece in a full dish! It requires lots of eggs, potatoes, and meat ( or spinach ). As for the grilled salad, it’s simple, yummy and very healthy. You take your ingredients: onions, tomatoes,green pepper, and garlic, and you grill them first then you mince them. You add olive oil, salt and pepper, and OF COURSE Tuna! Delicious! 

Bonus picture: A “slata mechiya” aka grilled salad in a Moroccan Tagine pot :D 

BONUS FOOD: BAMBALOUNI - بمبالوني : 

Okay, obviously after all those spicy dishes we need something sweet for desert! So I am brining you the Sidi Bou Said special, the one and only, the must-have “BamBalouni”.  It’s basically the Tunisian version of a donut. It is prepared with a flour dough fried in oil then sprinkled with sugar or soaked in honey. It can be eaten at any time of day, as long as it’s hot! Yum-yum ! 

So, if you kept in mind anything from this post, or if you have any remarks, let me put it simply for you:

YES, we put Tuna on everything, after all we produce that shit!  YES, we like our food fried and ‘mchakhchakh” !! YES, harissa is the base of everything, too bad I don’t eat it.  YES, we LOVE bread, we make so many types of it! 

Reblog with your favorite one and DM me for the recipe or if you have any suggestions for the part 2!!!!!
