Vetekrans or Swedish tea ring

Another delicious loaded cinnamon roll, with a cardamom surprise. Since we cannot have nuts, I added candied pineapple to the filling. Eminently edible!






bits and ends

The bits and ends from the spiralized veggies were chopped up and stir fired with some shrimp. O course the usual onion, garlic, crushed red pepper suspects were thrown in. Result - one delicious side dish.
The beets made it red, naturally.






Apple banana muffins

Again, one lone banana and two apples that no one wanted.

basic Kerala spicy ground beef with mixed vegetables

This is a favorite of my family, and it is  recipe that grew out of necessity and convenience.
Again, the possibilities are endless with this one. As a filling in a wrap,for  a bun, for a puff pastry shell, for a samosa, for a pita pocket. Or as a topping for noodles, traditional or spiralized vegetable, for pizza,  a side for hot rice, with plain yogurt or Kerala yogurt salad, or the Kerala buttermilk curry, ..... Great with bread, it work well as a sandwich filling, a side for roti. Could be served in lettuce leaves, could be cooked wrapped in cabbage leaves. It is the Kerala meat masala and the onion , ginger and garlic that gives it its special flavor. like I said, endless.
