  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

  2. 10 days in Mexico 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 I definetely missed quite a few things because 10 days is not nearly enough (and I’m a hybrid lazy and activity traveller so I like to do activities but hate to rush things … ）wait that’s my general life 😂😂 What I got to do: - [ ] food, food and more food (Everywhere) - [ ] Beach in #Tulum and #Bacalar - [ ] More food in #Mexico city - [ ] #Clubbing in #Tulum; a little PG so we’ll omit that 😂 - [ ] #Cenotes in Tulum and Bacalar - [ ] More food 😝🥺😝 (Jesus, so much food) - [ ] #Mezcal and #Tequila (please abeg, I still don’t know how I feel about Mezcal) - [ ] Cultural things such as Teotihuacán 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 and the coolest underground restaurant 🥲 Things I really really wish I’d done - Oaxaca probably …. But everything was so much better than I expected 😭 I haven’t had such good food since my first time at la Colombe… scratch that it was actually just so different and amazing (maybe better) Having spent so much time in North America, I can’t believe this is when I’ve managed to cross off this #Bucketlist item. Highly recommend 💯💯💯 #Mexico #Travel #BeeTravelsAbroad #BlackTravel #XoTravel #Reels

  2. I have alot of titles but by far one of the most important is MAMMA🥰. My kids have taught me so many lessons and changed me in so many amazing ways. I learned to go with the flow because plans with kids never work out, I’ve learned to let things go, and learn what matters. I put up boundaries and guarded my time, and learnt to live more in the moment because i blink and a year goes by🙆‍♀️ They humanize you in the most gracious of ways and also make you reflect on who you are as a person every waking moment, they make you put down your phone, look at what’s in front of you, test your patience and also have alot of “is this really happening?!” moments🤣 I teach them about life, morals, whats right and wrong, patience , kindness, grace, and more. But in reality they have been shaping me all along to be the best version of myself. Happy Mothers Day!!💕 . . . . #mothersday #momoftwo #girlmom #boymom #sunday #breastfeeding #blessed #motherhood #mom

  3. Save for when you visit Limpopo or home! 😂😂 here is a cheat sheet on how to impress everyone( well I am everyone🥺) My all time fave veggie!!! All you need is the veggie, salt , water and tomatoes! Don’t forget to peel the leaves as I did! Peaunuts or peanut butter is optional 😅 tried the @woolworths_sa one and it worked wonders!! Follow video for instructions on how to cook! Side note, depending on how much water you added, you might need to drain some as the baking soda makes it cook fast( so do taste to check if tis cooked after 5 to 10 minutes) Do you love this or do you love this?? . . . . . . #southafrican #venda #fyp #safoodie #safood ##f52community

  1. My my my😍 it sure looks good tonight🤤 Rice Prepare an onion, bell peppers and garlic. In a hot pan add your veggies and sauté then season with your favourite spices. I used lemon pepper, salt, Aromat, shisanyama spice, a bit of medium curry and paprika. After that add you washed rice and mix. Then add your chicken stock and water. Cover until done. Add water as needed. Fish I just bought tempura fish from Woolies. Just air fry for 15 minutes Sauce In a pan add lemon juice and let cook for 2 minutes then add you butter and garlic and cook for an extra minute. Then add in your cream. If it thickens add milk. Season with salt, pepper, lemon pepper and Aromat. Then you’re done. Enjoy!😃
