Real Arancini Balls are deep fried. They are insanely addictive, with a golden crunchy crumb and creamy cheesy risotto on the inside. I could eat them every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Which is why I am so glad that there are no Italian delis in my area, otherwise I’d be in real trouble. But I need an Arancini fix every now and then. Plus risotto is a regular in my midweek meal rotation and more often than not there will be leftovers, possibly because my subconscious makes me cook up an extra large batch just so I have an excuse to make Arancini Balls....

I spent my childhood picking beetroot out of hamburgers. I spent my teenage years simply stubbornly refusing to eat even the smallest piece of beetroot in any form, no matter how hard my mother tried to hide them. Then in my twenties, I tried beetroot for the first time….and well, well, well, what do you know, it turns out that I actually LIKE it. More than like, I really like it....

Top tip: These are excellent to grill on the BBQ, or even better, over charcoal for a truly authentic Thai experience. Thai Beef Satay When I eat out at Thai restaurants, I tend to default to Chicken Satay skewers because I know chicken is hard to get wrong. Beef Satay, on the other hand, can be terribly hit or miss. Bland, chewy and dry beef is an all-too-common refrain. To experience Beef Satay the way it’s meant to be, better to make it yourself....

Method 1 – South indian style ridge gourd chutney recipe Dry roast chana dal and urad dal until golden. Fry red chilies as well and then add cumin to the hot pan. You can also use 1 tsp oil to fry chilies. Set aside to cool. To the same pan, add little oil and fry gourd until they are cooked little for 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside to cool....

Bill Granger’s Corn Fritters with Avocado Salsa I actually posted this right back when I first started RecipeTin Eats. Back then, I had hardly any readers and my photos weren’t so great. But patience isn’t my greatest virtue and I was so excited about starting a food blog that I couldn’t wait to share my favourite recipes. Fast forward almost 2 years (2 years??? I’ve been doing this for 2 years?...

I find myself making this quiet often because it is quick, easy and also goes well in school & office boxes. You can also transform this to a stuffing inside your sandwiches or rolls. Just throw in some cheese to make a cheese bell pepper sandwich or roll. For this recipe, I use sliced onions to impart a sweeter tone and add body to the dish. However you can also make the dish without onions....

Cook it in the microwave, oven or stove. Use the method that best works for you! Cauliflower Rice Cauliflower masquerading as rice. Is it as good as rice? No. And anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying, or doesn’t know what tasty food is.😂 But is it a very good healthy substitute for rice that can be made to be delicious in its own right? YES IT IS! So what does it taste like?...

With chunky flakes of hot smoked salmon and an addictive Yogurt Ranch Dressing, there’s a handful of components to this recipe but it’s easy – and it’s all the little details that makes this so special! Bonus: can be entirely prepped ahead, stays perky for over an hour even once dressed! Celebration Salmon Salad – it started as a joke Every year, we (the RecipeTin Family) get asked* to do the “catering*” for my mothers’ annual Christmas Lunch with 30 social club friends....

Chicken chettinad is one of the most flavorful chicken dishes from the South Indian cuisine. It is said to be the most ordered in the Indian restaurants. The recipe shared here is the one I felt close to the restaurant style chettinad chicken gravy. After several trials I arrived at this and can say this is one of the best flavorful and delicious chicken gravy. This recipe is roughly adapted from a cook book....

In the spirit of simplicity and speed, I’ve just used fish and choy sum. But it’s excellent with shrimp/prawns, chicken, pork or even leftover cooked meats! Quick and Easy Chinese Rice Soup This rice soup is a really good, quick low effort meal that’s extremely versatile. Based around a simple Chinese soup broth used in several recipes I’ve previously shared, including this Chinese Noodle Soup, I think the feedback from a reader is all you need to know about this broth: “The depth of flavour is incredible for such a simple, quick, easy soup....

NO CHILL time, make them soft OR crispy. Ice them my EASY way, dip in chocolate, dust with icing sugar or serve them plain! Christmas Cookies What I call “Christmas Cookies” are simply vanilla biscuits cut out in Christmas shapes and iced with colourful festive frosting. They taste like shortbread cookies, but not quite as buttery or crumbly. They are as classic as vanilla biscuits can be. This particular biscuit recipe is made for cutting out shapes – in this case, Christmas shapes....

It’s my caramel corn with a Christmas twist – traditional festive spices and a sprinkle of almonds. It makes for great Christmas candy snacks as well as food gifts that’s easy to make in bulk, economical and lasts for 2 – 3 weeks. Christmas Popcorn While everybody likes a good Caramel Popcorn, it really is just flat out sweet, and that’s it (but I still love you, Caramel Popcorn, don’t worry)....

This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Crumpet recipe Warburtons is the UK’s biggest and most popular commercial crumpet producer. They make over 700 million of them a year! To cheer up the UK public during lockdown, they shared their secret crumpet recipe for people to make at home. Though I doubt it’s the precise commercial batter recipe (they probably adapted it for the home cook), the end result is EXACTY like store bought crumpets. After many, many, MANY failed crumpet attempts over the years (even from notable chefs!...

Lamb, Lamb, Lamb! . Here in Australia, Easter Sunday is all about lamb. If you’re after a classic to be your centrepiece, try this Classic Roast Lamb Leg cooked perfectly so the inside is pink, juicy perfection. Served with gravy, of course! Or enjoy the fall apart goodness of this super easy Oven Slow Roasted Lamb Leg, this even easier Slow Cooker Roast Lamb, or this very forgiving Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder....

Honey lemon syrup, Chocolate syrup & maple syrup with caramelized bananas & choco chips are some of the toppings that go very well for these pancakes. I had few requests for some good eggless pancake recipes for toddlers & kids. I have tried many recipes without baking powder & soda, the results are just flat and dense. They do not turn out fluffy or soft, the way pancakes are supposed to be and taste more like a banana dosa....

I don’t prefer to cook elaborate meals during the weekends so often choose to prepare something quick yet delicious. This fish biryani is one of those that fits my choice. Like chicken or mutton, fish doesn’t need much resting time after the marination. All the steps just go sequentially without any waiting time, plus the fish gets cooked quickly. So it an express recipe that just takes about 45 minutes....

Nowadays, I go to the shops almost every day. Sometimes multiple times in a day if I’m doing a client shoot and things are not going to plan. My record is 5 times. FIVE TIMES! Boy was I grumpy by the end of the day. However, back when I worked in corporate, I did my main grocery shop once a week on the weekend. Which meant that unless I did a meal plan, I was usually playing things by ear by Wednesday....

Dull leftovers? Never around here! Leftover Turkey Pot Pie Got leftover turkey?* Bits of bread lying around? Some scraps of veggies? Milk, butter and flour? Then you can MAKE THIS Turkey Pot Pie! Because everything else is optional 🙂 OK, so a melty cheese topping precariously straddles the border of “optional” in my book, but having said that nobody every complains whenever normal cheese-less garlic bread makes an appearance so I doubt anyone would complain here either…....

About Ginger Garlic Paste Ginger garlic paste is nothing but a spice blend made with fresh ginger root and garlic cloves. Sometimes various ingredients like oil, salt, vinegar and even turmeric are added to it as a preservative. If you cook Indian food often, having a jar of ginger garlic paste in your refrigerator, is a great convenience. You don’t need to rinse, peel, chop and crush small quantities of ginger and garlic every time you cook....
