Nigella’s Masala Omelett

This recipe comes courtesy of the domestic goddess herself Nigella Lawson. A beautifully flavoured flat omelet that can be eaten any time of day as a snack or light meal. We especially like it in crusty rolls/French stick as a hot sandwich, but would be great rolled up in a chapatti or just eaten flat on a plate.

A Touch of Curry Vegetable Dip

This is one of my all-time favorite vegetable dips. At social gatherings, it is always popular! Try it the next time you’re looking for a dip for your veggies!

Curry Crab Salad

Crab and curry make a great combo, cooked crab meat or imitation crab meat may be used for this, adjust all ingredients to taste, plan ahead this salad must chill for several hours before serving.

Lemon Butter Tilapia

This is my take on a James Beard recipe. So simple and quick, very few ingredients. This is the dish that turned me into a fish lover. Trick is to have everything ready to go when you start. It’s fast from start to table.

Simple Pasta With Parmesan

Another stupidly simple side dish made from pantry staples that my family asks for over and over. The savory combination of flavors goes well with many other foods. It can be made with freshly-cooked pasta or with leftover, cooked pasta that has no sauce on it. I’ve included options for some variations to create not-so-simple but extremely tasty side dishes or complete, one-dish meals by adding ingredients you probably have on hand.
