INDIAN PANCAKES

Indian pancakes A.K.A Gowla

These little wonders(yes they are wonders!) are fluffier than the regular pancakes/crepes and the ones I shared over here.

Ingredients

4 eggs

4 tablespoons sugar

4 tablespoons flour

200ml milk

Method
1. Lightly beat eggs.

2. Add the sugar, flour and milk. Whisk together.

3. Heat a frying pan, spray with spray&cook.

4. Pour some batter and fry on medium. Once the pancake starts pulling from the sides, turn over and fry on low until golden.

Makes 10 perfect pancakes.

Top them with nutella, chocolate mousse, fresh cream&strawberries, bananas, sugar&cinnamon or do it the Indian way by whipping up a cream mixture consisting of Nestlé cream, sugar and coconut. Put one pancake in a deep plate, cover with the cream mixture and top with another pancake. Continue layering ending with cream on top. Top with slivered almonds, cut into diamonds and refrigerate for an hour.

OUTFIT OF THE DAY-EID LOOK

Being in October and during the most beautiful season, this year's eid ul adha theme had to be just that; Spring.

 
A simple royal blue abaya from here. The neck piece was gifted.

 
Dull gold glitter loafer from Call it Spring. Arm candy from Mr Price. The flowers on my wrist is actually a headband, ssshhh don't tell anyone.

Blue and white pashmina scarf.

 
I'd rather have flowers on my head than diamonds around my neck. Kidding!! Could I please have them both? 

The headband is a neck-piece-turned-headband. Talk about versatility!

A belated Eid Mubarak to all those that celebrated.

Scouted- Lego Minifigures

Johannesburg based photographer Yusuf Dajee gives us a Lego perspective of the world. 

He takes us on a Lego adventure with his Lego Minifigure series. From getting out of bed to climbing mountains there's nothing that these Lego figures do not do. Dajee has has with a unique perspective captured the everyday creatively.





Hi Mr Dajee, please tell us a bit about yourself. 
I am a self taught graphic designer and photographer. After having some exposure to the advertising industry, my passion for design was ignited. A few years later, I stumbled upon photography as a hobby. The Lego Minifigure photos were my way of differentiating myself from other photographers, thus the Lego Minifigure photo series was ‘built’.





I can not wait to see the next installments of the Lego Minifigure photo series from this young promising photographer!

PAP, JUST PAP

Its white and soft and a staple food in South Africa. It's Pap. What is a South African blog without the mention of pap?
Pap is a porridge made mainly of maize meal and enjoyed by most South Africans. It's enjoyed in a softer form known as "slap pap" or a thicker consistency known as "stywe pap".

Slap pap is accompanied with milk and sugar and is usually enjoyed as a breakfast.

Stywe pap is enjoyed with meat, gravy
or vegetables, and of course a South African Braai.

Here's a fav pap recipe:

Ingredients:
1 litre water
1/2 tsp salt
+/- 2 cups maize meal(depending on the consistency you prefer)

Method:
1. Add salt to the water and boil.
2. Add maize meal and stirr wel using a wooden spoon.
3. Reduce the heat to low and allow to cook for about an hour.

Note: You may add some butter or margarine to your pap. Add it to the water or add in with the maize meal.

Ta-da! There you have it! A pot of pap, all u need now is some wors and a braai stove!
