  1. Melt-in-your-mouth Lemon Curd Pavlova with Seasonal Fruit and Florals served in #Iris 🌸 For the Pavlova: 4 egg whites 1 1/4 cup caster sugar 1tsp vinegar 1tsp cornflour 1tsp vanilla For the garnish: Whipped cream Handful of gooseberries Half a blood orange, finely sliced Nectarine, finely sliced Handful of raspberries Handful of white strawberries Fresh flowers (optional) Icing sugar to dust Heat oven to 130°C. Using a pencil, mark out the circumference of a dinner plate on baking paper. Whisk egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form, then whisk in caster sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the meringue looks glossy. Whisk in vinegar, cornflour and vanilla essence. Spread the meringue inside the circle, creating a crater by making the sides slightly higher than the middle. Alternatively, pipe as desired. Reduce oven to 110°C and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes, then turn off the heat and let the pavlova cool completely inside the oven. Do not open the oven door during this period. For the Lemon Curd: 4 large eggs 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup lemon juice Zest from 2-3 large lemons 1/2 cup butter, cubed Pinch salt In a saucepan, whisk the eggs and sugar together over medium heat. Continue whisking until fully mixed. Whilst whisking, add the juice, zest, and a pinch of salt and mix till well incorporated. Add the butter in increments while whisking continuously. Continue cooking the curd for about 10 minutes while occasionally whisking until it thickens. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve, and allow to cook in the fridge before using. To assemble pavlova, add whipped cream, lemon curd and gooseberries, sliced nectarine, blood oranges and berries. Decorate with flowers and a light dusting of icing sugar. 📸: @ibtesam_essa

  2. What we’re obsessing over at the moment: these decadent morsels served on the new Iris Serving Platter. 🌸 Make a lasting impression this al fresco season with your own recreation of this culinary montage. For the Whipped Feta with Hot Honey and Sundried Tomato: 200g quality soft feta, drained ¾ cup plain double thick yoghurt Zest of 1 lemon 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 Tbsp hot honey Sundried tomato halves Salt to taste Micro herbs (optional) Add feta, yoghurt, zest, olive oil and honey to a food process and process till smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more until the desired consistency is reached. Taste for seasoning. Decant into a serving dish and top with sundried tomato, micro-herbs and a drizzle of hot honey. For the Baked Camembert with Nectarine, Thyme and Pistachios: 1 wheel of Camembert, package discarded 1 nectarine, thickly sliced Chopped pistachios Thyme sprigs 1 garlic clove Honey Salt to taste Bouquet garni of rosemary and lavender 1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Prepare the Camembert by placing either whole or in triangles in an ovenproof dish. Add nectarines, thyme, garlic and pistachios. Dip bouquet garni into honey and allow to infuse momentarily. Remove and drizzle honey over the Camembert. Bake roughly 15-20 minutes until melted. Top with more pistachios and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with crusty bread. 📸: @ibtesam_essa

  3. Experience a culinary spectacle with intricate flavour profiles. Using ghee and hot coal, @ibtesam_essa creates elevated Tandoori Butter Chicken with an authentic smoky taste. Serve with a side of garlic naan. Ingredients For the Tandoori Chicken Marinade 6 chicken thighs 2 Tbsp ginger and garlic paste 1 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp cumin powder 1 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder 1 tsp tandoori spice ¼ cup yoghurt Salt 1 Tbsp ghee or butter For the Curry 2 Tbsp ghee or butter 2 large onions, finely sliced Whole spices: 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 cardamom pods and a tsp of cumin seeds 2 whole green chillies 5-6 curry leaves 1 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp cumin powder 2 tsp coriander powder 2-4 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder (adjust for heat preference) 1 tsp brown sugar 1/2 cup yoghurt 4 -6 tomatoes blended till liquid in consistency 1 Tbsp tomato purée Salt 1 small coal and additional ghee for smoking Method Mix the marinade spices together and coat the chicken well. Add ghee or butter to a #LeCreuset Signature Shallow Casserole over medium heat and cook the chicken for 20-25 minutes on medium. Remove from the heat, and over a gas flame, char the chicken thighs until slightly burnt and smoky. Alternatively, add the chicken to an oven-safe dish and grill on the highest setting until slightly charred and golden. Set aside. Add ghee and onions and fry until golden in a shallow casserole on medium heat. Add whole spices, green chillies, and curry leaves and fry until aromatics are released. Add powdered spices, followed by yoghurt, and mix well. Add a splash of water to prevent the curry from burning. Add the tomato, tomato purée, and brown sugar and allow to cook until the oil layer reaches the top, roughly 15-20 minutes. Light the coal on the gas burner until flaming. Add chicken thighs to the curry and place a piece of foil in the centre, adding the hot coal to the foil. Add a teaspoon of ghee onto the coal and seal the pot with the lid to smoke for 3-5 minutes. Once complete, garnish with coriander. Serve with garlic naan.

  1. I have never received so many questions about this before and I apologise for not being able to respond to some of you. This is a ritual that still runs strongly through our family and I am determined to preserve it for future generations of mothers. I remember how therapeutic it felt. And while I may not be able to prove its physical healing properties, I remember how this very sacred ritual made me feel during an incredibly difficult postpartum journey. I vowed that going forward, I would make sure that any new mother in our family would be held and seen in the unique healing ways within our culture. Ingredients : Bathing leaves (nochi leaves) Guava leaves Gum tree leaves Turmeric (optional) Method : 1. Rinse the leaves thoroughly and transfer into a large pot with water. 2. Rapidly boil for about 2 hours, until the leaves and stems have released all their healing essential oils. The water will turn a brown colour and the smell is very distinctive. 3. Remove all the leaves and use the water in a traditional bucket bath. The water must be used as hot as possible. Pour the water from top(shoulders) to bottom. Use a facetowel to press the warm water firmly on the tummy area. The ritual includes having the room ready with lobaan. Once the mum has had a bath with the water, she can take a regular shower and wash her hair as well. Then stand over the lobaan for a few minutes. The baby can also be bathed at the same time (not with the boiled water) and then rocked over the lobaan. I hope this answers all your questions ❤️ and please remember that I am sharing what we do as a family. There may be other ways to do this and all of them are correct ❤️

  2. Crab Curry with my Dad The voiceover says it all ♥️ I hope you give it a listen when you can. Here is the highly requested recipe : Ingredients 1 cup vegetable oil Pink crab (cleaned) 2 medium onions (sliced) 2 sprigs curry leaves 5 green chillies Thyme 5 tsp ginger & garlic paste 2 tbsp whole spice mix 6 tbsp mixed masala 2kg jam tomatoes (peeled and blended) Salt to taste 2 tbsp sugar Coriander to garnish Method : 1. Heat up the oil and saute the onions on medium heat until softened. 2. Add the cleaned crab and allow to steam for about 10 minutes. 3. Add the ginger and garlic and fry until the garlic cooks out. About 5 to 8 minutes. Followed by the chillies, curry leaves and thyme. 4. Then add the whole spice mix. This is basically the biryani whole spice mix that my parents toast and grind fresh. 5. Followed by the masala. We use a homemade family masala which my dad adds everything to. From turmeric to jeera powder. You don't need to add anything else when using this spice. Allow the spices to cook and absorb into the crab. Cook for a further 5 minutes. 6. Then add the tomatoes. I remove the peels because they add an unwanted texture to the gravy. Its ok to add it if you don't have the time to remove the skins. We love adding extra tomatoes to create an abundance of gravy that can be scooped up with fresh white bread. 7. Season with salt and sugar and cook for about 40 minutes OR until the tomatoes are fully cooked and the oil surfaces. 8. Garnish with coriander. Serve with white bread or rice. A side note : my dad does not add tamarind to his crab curry. I add a little but I actually prefer it without tamarind. The sweetness of the crab meat can easily be overpowered by the sourness of tamarind. However, it really is a personal choice with flavours ♥️ Add the ingredients that you and your loved ones enjoy most. #crabcurry #durban

  1. HOW TO FOLD SPRING ROLLS 2 WAYS My spring roll filling has been posted previously to this video Option 1 1. Keeping the spring roll sheet in a diamond shape with the point in front of you 2. Add filling just a little away from the point and roll the point into the filling and roll twice over 3. Fold the edges inside and roll again 4. Apply flour and paste mixture and roll until sealed 5. Option 1 will give you a shorter & thicker spring roll OPTION 2 1. Keep the spring roll sheet in front of you as a square 2. Add filling little away from the edge, roll once and tuck edge into the filling and roll twice over 3. Add water and flour paste onto all the edges 4. Roll once and fold edges into the spring roll 5. Roll to seal the spring roll 6. Option 2 will give you a longer and thinner spring roll #springrolls #springroll #springrollsfordays #howto #tutorial #tasneemxpatel #ramadanwithbkd #ramadanfood

  3. If you are looking for a no bake dessert for Eid save this recipe! I had Madeira cake that I needed to use up and I saw everybody making a no bake milk cake so I had to make some too! I love how versatile it is plus nobody will know it's "no bake" 🤫 Couple of years ago I used raspberry Swiss roll with the same method and it actually tasted lovely with the jam. You can literally use any cake. (Refer to sweet highlights) No measurements really needed just use as much or little as you want 1. Add a layer of cake (approx 300g) in a dish 2. Boil together 4 cardamom pods, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 cup condensed milk, 1/2 cup fresh milk 3. Pour the milk mixture over the cake and allow to set for 1 hour 4. Top with 250g sweetened whipped cream and garnish with crushed pistachios 5. Allow to set in the fridge before serving - the longer you leave it the better it tastes (Serve at room temperature) You can add any topping you wish *fruit *nuts *melted lotus spread *rose whipped cream *melted nutella *caramel sauce *crumbled flake chocolate Enjoy #nobake #nobakedessert #milk #cake #milkcake #easydessert #tasneemxpatel #ramadanwithbkd

  1. Sounds from my kitchen 🔊✨ Braised short ribs on rich and creamy pommes mousseline with toasted garlic bread. Some elements were inspiration for the @atthetable__ menu (go follow!😤) The story behind this, we recently had a wedding in the family and there was left over meat from the ceremony, so I got the ribs and I just knew what I had to do. #asmr #instagram #reels #instagood #instafood #explore #delicious #homecooking #asmrfood #chef
