Ghee is the true essence of the food I grew up eating as a child.
Being of Indian heritage and growing up in Zimbabwe, I am proud to say I have stayed well connected to our indian culture, tradition and most importantly the food.
- a bowl of fluffy rice dowsed in ghee and a spoonful of sugar. Pure heaven!
- a square of perfectly made barfi, an indian sweet confectionary made with milk.
- a delicate biryani doused in ghee. Taking days to make with the utmost attention to detail and made with the finest ingredients.
- hadur waro keer – a warm milky concoction, an antidote to a cold and cough, made with ghee and turmeric, sweetened with jaggery. Perfect on a cold wintery day before bed time.
However, I’d absolutely devour a good steak and kidney pie in a heart beat. That’s the great thing about growing up in Zimbabwe, I ate as much homebound indian food, as well as, tonnes of food influenced along the way by british cookery.
- Hot, yummy and crispy fish and chips made to perfection.
- A moist sausage roll made with the flakiest pastry
- and let’s not forget Shepherds pie, just to name a few.
As an Indian who grew up in Africa, I have a unique twist on classic Indian recipes. As well a bounty of European and now American recipes to share. Please join me in my epic adventure in jotting down these glorious finds.
Enjoy, comment, and let’s make ghee!!
