Chapatis for Sunday Supper

Chapatis, also known as rotis, are the South Asian version of the tortilla. I grew up eating them for breakfast, or with potatoes for a snack on the weekend. In Qatar, people drink karak (what I know as chai) and eat cheese stuff chapatis (which I found strange and delicious). You can make this with attar or chapati flour, mixed to equal proportions with water, a dash of oil, and salt if you like that tang.

Here’s a quick tutorial from a cooking class I took this weekend. What kind of bread have you tried making at home?

Sunday Supper: Spicy Salmon with Feta Beet Salad

There are so many ways to eat fish, once you get your favorite technique down, the flavors are entirely up to you. I find wrapping a fillet in tinfoil and baking at a high temperature is my favorite. Garlic, ginger, lime zest, salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste was the perfect combo for this meal. Roasting beets at 200 C (400 F) in balsamic vinegar is a quick and easy side.

What was your last cooking experiment?

 

Sunday Supper: Potato Pancakes

I am a leftover makeover artist because like a frumpy dresser, dishes have so much potential when given new attributes. A bowl of breakfast potatoes is no exception.

You can puree cooked potatoes into a base for pancakes, mixing in your fancy. Mine included tuna, corn, salt, pepper, flour, onions, and an egg.

Make sure your oil isn’t too hot, and these will fry up as crispy treats, to be topped with sour cream, green onions, and sriracha. At least that’s how we eat it at our house. How do you like your leftovers?
