This is yet another creation of Biji ammai – simple, quick and yummy. What set it apart from the normal lentil preparation is the usage of Zucchini. If you don’t have Zucchini you can use pumpkin instead! Don’f forget to give me a feedback post you cook 
Gram daal / chana daal (lentil) – 1 cup

We got to taste the yummy Shrimp Pulao made by our vegetarian aunt at Haren a small town with 23k population located in Germany. Its amazing how despite being a pure vegetarian some one can prepare a non vegetarian dish with such ease and taste.
Deveined and clean Prawns / shrimp – 750 gms
This is quite an old trick and quick one too. One of the evenings at Scotland, Derek added to my newly found love for cheese. check out the crackers in the picture topped with cheese, fresh herbs (like cilantro, parsley,basil etc), tomatoes and cottage cheese*.
Use you creativity by using olives, jalapenos, hummus etc
Well, one thing both me and Q did all through our travel in Europe was to try out the local cuisine. Afterall food constitutes a major part to your whole travel experience. Derek a friend of our’s whom we met in Kerala made Scottish porridge for us when we visited him in Edinburgh – Scotland. It tastes different from the oatmeal porridge I am used to making. And I am definitely going to make this back home and why not??..variety only makes life interesting!

This one was different from the crepe I normally was used to. This one was salty and filled with all stuff you love. And this one also had a special name that is Galette
Galette was my first brush with French cuisine as Paris was our landing port.Jessica and Sebastian our friends Palaiseau (a quaint suburb 40 minutes away from Paris)made for me and Q mouth watering Galettes!

Another recipe that Lucie gave me besides the chocolate muffin(check previous post for recipe) was Strawberry preserve. Fresh warm bread with home made preserve can be a divine combination
Strawberry – 1.5 kg
Sugar – 1.5 kg

Tour de France took us to the stunning Bourg St. Maurice. a ski resort town in France where I met lovely Lucie and her family who stay in Les Arcs ski resort with a mind blowing view to the Alps! Check my travel diary on Composed Volcano for more information.
While in Greece Q and myself got hosted by lovely Katherine called Kay by her friends. After a long trip to stunning Zagora village (famous for Zagorin apples) in the mountain called Pelion; as we all settled down Kay quickly tossed a salad and served it with some Cipuro ( a stronger version of Ouzo). How can I describe this Greek salad called Dakos but it to say – DELCIOUS!!And how much we all had!
I had never experienced a sit down formal (almost) dinner till I got invited by Alice at her lovely home in Greece where she treated us to Octopus (click here for recipe) and Pita. Your trip to Greece is not complete till you taste the absolutely delicious Pita. It involves some amount of work which pays off in the form of multi crispy layers in a Pita. Alice howver shared a comparitively easier recipe comprising of 2 thick and crispy layers instead of multiple one and still tasting good.
This Europe trip of mine has made me a hard core carnivore From selective non vegetarian I have started to eat just about anything.Having said that i will still save snakes and frogs perhaps for my next birth! For now I will stick to experimenting with sea food!
