An amazing twist to the plain old Potatoes for Breakfast and Lunchbox. I have used Thyme or Za'atar in this well-blended simple dish.
It's the best alternative for meals. Be it Breakfast or Lunch, it's absolutely good. It's also the best option for Lunchbox. And not only that, I also prefer it for Suhoor in Ramadan. Not only, Ramadan, I also make it whenever I fast other than the Month of Ramadan.

It's a delicious side dish and goes very well with Rotis, Chapatis, Phulkas, and Parathas. Though it's great even with simple boiled Rice, it tastes more yummy with any Indian Bread. Thyme or Za'atar as it's popularly known is a simple spice blend from the Middle East. It's used extensively in their cooking. Both the Middle Eastern and the Mediterranean Cooking has it in ample amounts. It's a flavourful one at that. Adds a lot of flavour to the dish as well as a lovely colour with loads of aroma.
Do give it a try and let me know if you like it.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
