If you have read 30 random things about me, I have pointed out that I am a really frugal spender. This means that I do not mind spending on my self, but I especially like to do so when I can save a few coins in the process. Do you ever walk in town and pass outside posh hotels and wonder how it would feel to dine there? I do that all the time! I imagine how the food would taste, how the ambiance would feel and even what I would wear LOL! But thanks to Rupu, all this is possible! You get to dine at the best restaurants in town, walk in as though you run this and save a pretty penny in the process. Win-Win!

Here is my Sankara Experience courtesy of RUPU.

As we head into the final months of 2015, time to pause and recount. :))

Buttered Carrots and Red Onion Sautee

September 29, 2015 / Kaluhi / 4 Comments

Mum: What are you making?

Me: I don’t really know, but I feel the flavors will work.. carrot-something

Mum: That’s the name you will use?

Me: That’s not it’s name-name. I will think about it as I type out the post.

Mum: What if you do not get a name?

Me: *Gives mum a polite and respectful side-eye* Then I will not post until I get a name.

My mum asks too many questions. For real. Especially when watching a movie and when she finds anyone making a new dish. Besides that, she provides much needed constructive criticism that has aided my growth as a food blogger. Wouldn’t have it any other way. Hours later after that conversation and long after they were devoured, I decided to name this after its ingredients. Just four ingredients, all of which are beautifully married to each other.

Chicken Strips in Orange and Ginger Sauce

September 25, 2015 / Kaluhi / 10 Comments

I was going through one of the books I jot down recipe ideas so that I do not forget what I feel would work in the kitchen. On the day I made this, I was going through a notebook I was using in 2014 and came across and orange-ginger sauce I was writing but never completed. The ingredients seem to work in my head, and I had some chicken breast sitting in my freezer so I decided to give it a try.

Mum loved it! Dad enjoyed it too, and my youngest sister described it as a chicken recipe you will never taste anywhere else. Seeing people enjoy my recipes gives me so much satisfaction. I have a feeling you will enjoy this too as much as my fam did :))

Meatball Tikka Masala

September 22, 2015 / Kaluhi / 39 Comments

I had been thinking about tikka recipes sometime back and I came to the realization that nearly anything can be made into a tikka…Any meat that is! These meatball tikka masala were totally experimental. My dad suggested we make meatballs coz we had not had them for quite some time so I chose that time to try this out. I was so afraid I would mess up not only because I have not tried this recipe before, but also because I was making a large quantity. Nothing hurts more than making a lot of bad food. Ya relate?

But I thank God for whispering in my ear and heart how exactly I should go about it. These meatball tikka masala were a hit with my family. Spicy, juicy and delectable. #MUSTTRY for sure!

Raisin and carrots fried rice

Besides sharing make-up secrets, brain-storming on business ideas and combing through our latest fashion finds, among the things my sisters and I enjoy doing are exchanging recipes. Be it from a good meal one of us ate at someone’else’s home or from a recipe we saw on TV, if it is makeable, we always share it.

This recipe was inspired by my eldest sister, Cheredi after she returned home from her friend’s place with a certain book that had the best cooking secrets. The recipe I read had several ingredients which I did not have at hand. This called for creativity on my part and in the process, this baby was born. Its fast, super easy and in the usual KK fashion, very delicious.
