Hummus Without Tahini

Hummus Without Tahini

I love me some hummus but tahini is SO expensive in Malaysia – then one day I thought, can I make hummus WITHOUT tahini? Turns out you can! The secret lies in a pantry staple familiar to every Asian kitchen: sesame oil. While it may not replicate the exact taste of tahini, it’s a great…

Falafel (No Deep-Frying Involved)

Dear God, how much I adore falafel but how difficult they can be to get right! After more attempts that I can count, I finally got them perfectly crunchy, golden brown and mad delicious, WITHOUT deep frying too. It took quite a bit of experimentation (read: failed attempts). The hardest part was getting the balls…

Easy Lamb Pilaf

I never, ever thought I would cook lamb, let alone lamb pilaf. For a long time, I was under the impression that lamb/mutton needs hours of pre-boiling to soften the tough meat, until recently. Using my Le Creuset Dutch Oven and Made-in-Malaysia mixed spice brand Opah Herbs, I attempted to cook lamb shoulder. To my…

Afghani Omelette

Afghani Omelette

When it comes to egg breakfast recipes, the Middle East is truly a gift that keeps on giving. The region has blessed us with wonderful egg-centric creations like shakshuka, menemen and cirbil. And I’ve just recently discovered another stunning dish called Afghani omelette. No, despite its name, this doesn’t look like the omelette that we…
