Just felt for a comfort food type chicken dish and this was really good. You can sub the Mozambican sauce for any other that you prefer if you don't have it on hand. If you can get it, then try it out.

Having a good breakfast helps make my day better. Having a perfect yolk definitely levels up 😁🤤
Toast spread with cottage cheese, topped with egg flash-fried in just a teaspoon of butter on both sides. I sprinkled with dukkah, sumac and drizzled olive oil but you can season as you please.

Have an awesome day ahead 💘

I'm firmly of the opinion that you can enjoy a restaurant-quality meal every day in the comfort of your home. Which is why Just Plated 's tagline is Homemade Gourmet 😉

I loved this meal. It was simple and so quick and yet the result was absolutely delicious. Before cooking the steak, I sliced one sweet potato and cut one potato into wedges. Tossed these together in olive oil, salt and pepper then airfried at 188°C for 18mins until done. Flip them halfway through for even cooking.

For the steak:
Heat the pan first until hot, then add in a thin slice of butter and 2 cloves of garlic, sliced. As the butter begins to turn lightly brown, add in the seasoned steak (I sprinkled with @robertsonsspice braai spice only, nothing else). After a minute flip it over. Baste with the butter in the pan. After another minute remove to a serving plate and keep warm until ready to serve.

Restaurant style smah burger : Roll a ball of mince (80%lean-20%fat), smash it flat, season with salt and pepper and a little BBQ spice. Heat a pan over high heat, add a teaspoon of oil, sear the patty until browned on both sides. That's it 😁
Add it to a bun with your favourite sauce, caramelised onions and a side of chips.
And no, there are no greens or ginger-garlic involved in a smash burger so please don't. It doesn't need it.

How to make a lovely meal out of bulgur wheat as a rice substitute. Bulgur is a delicious grain that is purely toasted crushed wheat that's coarsely ground. It's healthy and makes a wonderful starch. Use it in salads or a story like this one. I used baby marrow (courgette), mushroom, broccoli and green beans.

You can add in any veggies you like and enjoy this both hot or cold.

Just to help you understand the process of Ras Mal

Just to help you understand the process of Ras Malaai, here is a quick reel I put together.

Tips as follows for a perfect dessert:

- Make sure the combined dough is neither too sticky or too dry. If too sticky, add in milk powder one teaspoon at a time.
- if too dry add in ghee, one teaspoon at a time.
- ensure the balls you roll are as small as a marble because they double in size once cooked. Don't be tempted to make them larger.
- fresh cream or dessert cream make a lovely base when added to the milk
- the mixture is delicious as is but you can add in pistachio or rose as a flavourant.
- best served chilled

Recipe again:
Rose Ras Malai
By Maryam V @justplated_

1 cup Klim skimmed milk powder
1 level tsp baking powder
1 tbsp flour
3 drops rose essence
2 tsp melted butter
1 egg

In a bowl combine milk powder, baking powder and flour.
Add in butter and egg, mix to form a soft dough.
Roll out small balls (slightly larger than a marble, 1.5 cm diameter) and place in a plate. Set aside.

In a pot bring to simmer:
600ml litre milk
2 tbsp sugar
2 drops of rose essence
3 elachi pods (cardamom) or ½ tsp elachi powder

When the milk is simmering, drop the balls in one at a time. Once all the balls are in, cover with a lid and keep closed for 10 minutes. The balls will double in size. Gently remove the balls to a casserole dish.

To the remaining milk add in:
½ tin condensed milk (410g)
½ cup dessert cream/fresh cream

Simmer for a minute. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature then refrigerate. Serve cold, topped with slivered almonds or pistachios.

𝗥𝗔𝗦 𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗜...once you get it right, this will become your new favourite dessert 😍

I've always wanted to get this dessert right. My first 3 or 4 attempts flopped badly with previous recipes, until I found this one. Getting a recipe completely wrong can be sooo demoralizing 🙈😆 I don't shy away easily once I'm determined, so having found this recipe (and it works every time 😉) I now have a perfect go-to Ras Malai recipe for any occasion.

Swipe to the last slide for the recipe 📋

• Your mixture should not be too sticky nor too dry.
• Once a ball is rolled (as large as a marble) then your mixture should hold shape well.
• Don't been tempted to roll a ball larger than the size of a marble because the balls double in size as they cook.
• Top with pistachios and rose petals or slivered almonds

𝗘𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀 is a typically English dessert that's super quick to throw together. A layering of crumbled meringues, berries or fruit and sweetened whipped cream.

Layer like so:
A tablespoon of cream
Crushed meringues
Fruit pieces/berries

Then repeat layers until you have at least two of each

So if you can't think up a crowd pleaser dessert, look no further. I used store-bought meringues and some kiwis, figs and pomegranate. You can add your own twist!
