Pan-fried buns filled with a delicious filling of cabbage, vermicelli noodles, and other veggies. All wrapped in some homemade dough before being pan-fried until golden brown and crisp then cooked in a steam to get that nice crisp exterior but chewy inside.These are inspired by my favourite buns from the food stalls and night markets in Taipei. I’d pack a dozen in my suitcase and freeze it when I get back home, and they’d still be soo good! These can of course be frozen and reheated too for whenever you’re craving some buns!
*This post is sponsored by Planted* We all need a good pick-me-up at the moment, and these delicious and decadent no-bake vegan coffee cheesecakes are exactly what you need after a long and stressful day! I’ve always loved coffee flavoured desserts.

This is my take on a vegan no-bake cheesecake. Super creamy and lush without having any dairy or gluten! The base is chocolaty as I think chocolate and coffee go perfectly together. Made with oats, cocoa powder with a little bit of coconut […]

These crisp and golden brown Onion & Spinach Pakoras are a delicious savoury start to any Indian-themed dinner party. They look fabulous and taste even better. A very popular Indian appetizer, especially in the North, Pakoras are often bought from street vendors who serve them steaming hot wrapped in a newpaper cone. Crisp and golden brown on the outside with a soft fragrant interior of finely chopped spinach, onions, fresh grated ginger, green chillies and an intoxicating combination of aromatic spices, the pakoras are blended together in a fine chickpea flour batter and flash fried at the last minute for an easy and outrageously delicious appetizer fit for a Maharajah. Onion & Spinach Pakoras Makes 12-16 pakoras 1 cup fresh spinach 1 cup chickpea flour 1 medium size onion, finely chopped 1-inch ginger, finely grated 1 green chili, seeded and finely chopped 1 tsp ground fennel seed 1/4 tsp red chili powder 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp cumin a pinch of asafoetida 2 tbsp sesame seeds 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup ice cold water, and more if necessary salt to taste oil for deep frying Remove the stems from the spinach. Wash, dry and finely chop. Add all the onion, ginger, green chili and all of the spices to the flour and mix well. Add 1/2 cup of ice cold water to make a fluffy smooth batter. Sprinkle the baking powder over this paste and mix lightly. Set aside for 15- 20 minutes. Heat oil for deep frying, until a drop of pakora mixture instantly floats to the top. Don’t let the oil smoke. Drop teaspoon-sized amounts of pakora mix into the oil until the surface is covered. Using a teaspoon gives a dumpling shape to the pakora, whereas dropping the dough from your fingers gives a more delicate, interesting shape. Stir and turn the pakora until they are lightly golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.

A super easy and decadent treat – these no-bake pistachio brownies are rich and chocolatey, but made with healthier ingredients! A simple no-bake base packed with oats, cocoa, a little maple syrup to sweeten and a bit of coconut oil to bind everything together. The centre is made up of pistachio butter, whole pistachios and a little more coconut oil and maple syrup. Pistachios are such an underrated nut. It’s by far my favourite nut. I do think it’s so underrated and under used in the west. Whereas in the Middle East where I grew up, it’s the most popular. They use it in so many desserts and even savoury dishes. But they’re mostly enjoyed on their own – salted […]
