Danwake
Danwake is one meal I never get tired of eating. I could eat it as breakfast, lunch or dinner. The Danwake flour comprises of so many different mixtures, depending on which part of the north it is prepared. I have decided to cut across divides and create my mix. The traditional Danwake is eaten as “Danwake da mai da yaji”, meaning “Danwake with oil and pepper” in Hausa. As is usual with me, I challenge some local recipes to make them “gourmet” or “assorted”. Meaning, I add additional ingredients, especially vegetables, to make the recipe extra nutritious. I remember how we used to eat Danwake as children- with the broomstick. We would use a broomstick, pick one ball of Danwake, swirl it in the oil and pepper mix and eat it. I guess using a fork to replace the broomstick makes more sense (for sake of hygiene and convenience). And I can tell you that kids love it. Give them a good Danwake treat. You will thank me later.

Easy Pizza Dough (no proofing needed) Easy Pizza Dough (no proofing needed)
I tried various different recipes for pizza and finally settled with this one.-Simple Pizza Sauce: Add a little bit of mustard to ketchup and mix.-To make it more Italian: Sprinkle on some oregano or basil.-To make it taste even better: Swirl on some olive oil.-Spread out the dough to match the baking tray that fits in your toaster oven. Make sure to check the size beforehand.-Since the crust is thin, the cheese easily melts off, so please place the pizza on a sheet of parchment paper while baking. Recipe by maynyan

Spicy Eggplant Mapo Tofu (un-stir fried Eggplant and Tofu) Spicy Eggplant Mapo Tofu (un-stir fried Eggplant and Tofu)
#veganfriendly#vegetarian# oil free# sugar freeMapo Tofu is one of the China’s famous dishes. And it's also one of our favorite Chinese food dishes.We can easily order it whenever we go to a Chinese restaurant.It's always good along with steamed white rice. The creamy sauce is so delicious mixed with soft tofu.The last time we ate tofu mapo was 3 weeks ago, when we visited Yellowstone National Park.The food is okay. Well, we can't compare because it is the only Chinese restaurant there.But we realized the dish was too oily and sweet. After all, now we are home. I can make it myself. And of course everything you cook yourself, you can control the amount of ingredients and seasonings. Especially salt, sugar and oil. And because we try to limit oil and sugar, in this recipe I don't use sugar and oil.And believe me, even without oil and sugar, it still tastes good 😋So, here's the recipe!

Ragi chocolate milkshake || Fingermillet chocolate smoothie recipe Ragi chocolate milkshake || Fingermillet chocolate smoothie recipe
This is one drink which i made recently and i am in love with it. This is great for breakfast during hot summer days, since having hot ragi malt is impossible these days. I made this chocolate version for me and my lil one, a sathumaavu version for hubby. He loved it so much. You will never find ragi added in this drink unless mentioned. The ragi just act as a thickening agent and gives a nice creamy texture to the smoothie.
