September 23, 2023 No Comments

I am not that much of a sweet tooth person but that doesn’t mean I can’t indulge once in a while.

That means goodbye to fluffy pancakes and meringues are a no-go zone for me. All in all, I shall overcome it one way or another, enough about me, today I have the best dessert you could want and it’s this no-butter orange loaf cake.

SPICY LEMON GARLIC KENYAN MASALA CHIPS RECIPE

September 22, 2023 No Comments

When I think of this Kenyan chips masala recipe, It takes me back home and reminds me of my college days and how much I used to stuff myself with them. If you’ve been following my blog for a while now, then you know I am Kenyan and I love sharing my Kenyan recipes with you and most of you seem to like them. From my samosas, chapatis, beef pilau, mandazis and kachumbari. Chips masala/ masala chips whichever way you say it, makes no difference. I still crave them from time to time and making them at home is even more satisfying. If you try this recipe, please don’t come and complain to me that you can’t stop having them because they are that good. Perfectly spiced fries with a touch of lemon for good measure, for this recipe you will need;

Hey There,

Do you have one of those meals that you really love eating but when you think of how long it will take for you to cook, it just makes you want to forget about it and have some left-overs instead, well my chicken, bacon and sweetcorn quesadillas are one of those with samosas coming in a heavy second. Now, I know it might sound crazy but for me, it takes a whole planning from when to do each step to dealing with who doesn’t want what in theirs. Luckily, I came to grips with the fact that I still have to make them since they are so good and no resistance can make me avoid them. For this recipe, you will need;
