Tahini - The nutty sesame spread

I seem to be very much proud to present this recipe!

This is the yummiest thing in the world is what I cried out, licking the finger dipped in my mixer to get the first taste of this creamy, heavenly, luscious dip I made at home. This can be used as a dressing, dip or even spread over your toast.

I am always a dip and dressing lover. I love my crackers, breads, and salads drenched in dips and dressings. But lately I figured out these are adding those extra not so good calories, I mean the store brought ones.

Then I started trying to make my versions of dips, and I am so happy to see that it is even better than store brought, with all the extra vinegars and preservatives tastes. The one made at home tastes the actual ingredient.

Who will bring store brought then, if you get better results, cheaper and guilt free knowing the ingredients went through the process.

So here I am presenting my creamy Tahini which in itself turned out to be so good a spread, but the intention behind preparing this was my home made dip, Hummus. Hummus recipe is on the way. SO now to Tahini :)

Ingredients

Very simple :)

Sesame dry roasted , until light brown

Sesame oil

Pink Himalayan Salt as required

And that is it :) Wow right.

Roast your sesame seeds until light brown. Be careful here, you don't need to over roast it.

Allow to cool and pulse it in mixer until fine powder. Pulse more adding salt and sesame oil. Add oil 1 tsp at a time, until desired consistency.

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out. The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som
