Happy Women’s Day to Strong Women. Here’s to w Happy Women’s Day to Strong Women. Here’s to women that cheer others on without a motive. To women where success is not determined by the number of likes or money they earn but by the number of lives they’ve touched. Women that know we’re all in this this thing called Life together, it’s not a race or a competition. Women that are still able to give and share no matter how successful they are. Women filled with kindness, compassion and integrity. Women that sprinkle love and leave a little sparkle wherever they go. Women that always stay true to themselves. I know many of those women and I am so proud to be associated with you ♥️ #womensday2020 #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #motivation #encouragement #strongwomen #strongertogether

I wasn’t quite happy with my images so I haven’t posted the recipe. Will do it again soon. In the meantime you can try my Chocolate Sheet Cake if you craving chocolate, it’s the best #tamarindnthyme #tamarindnthymerecipes #chocolatecake #chocolate #moistchocolatecake #instabakes #instaeats #foodfluffee #foodiesofinstagram #foodiesofsouthafrica #inmykitchen #madefromscratch
I haven’t been very productive in terms of blogg I haven’t been very productive in terms of blogging this week. I have a few recipes sitting in my drafts but I haven’t the motivation to write. I’m sure it will pass soon. In the meantime I have updated some of my old photos, some were shocking. Don’t know how they made it past google...haha! This Yellow Potato Curry with Cumin was one of those. The recipe is on my blog, it’s one of my older posts so you can use the search button. #yellowpotato #durbanfood #tamarindnthyme #tamarindnthymerecipes #foodiesofinstagram #instaeats #vegetarian #indianfood #southafricanfoodblogger #vegan #carbsarelife #foodfluffer #food52grams
For those that have just joined my feed, thought I For those that have just joined my feed, thought I will take a moment to introduce myself. I was born and raised in in a humble home in Durban, it’s why I embrace simplicity. If you have any doubts as to whether I can cook a great Durban curry this should clear your doubts. I am South Indian and my hubby is North Indian so you get the best of both worlds in terms of my cooking style. I worked in Corporate for most of my life, more specifically in Insurance. It was a highly stressful industry and I’m glad I’m no longer there. I have that personality where you either love me or hate me. There’s no in between... haha! I’m too loud for some but love me or leave me. I’m ok with either one I always have a smile on my face and I’m always laughing. I believe laughing is the best therapy and good for the soul. I can’t stand grumpy people. My blog is definitely my saving grace. It eases my stress levels and my kitchen is my sanctuary. I consider my blog to be more than just a food blog. It’s where I blabber a lot but I hope you find my hidden messages of inspiration and hope. Besides my love for food and eating, of course, cooking also keeps me energized and helps with my fatigue. I have two autoimmune conditions, Hypothyroidism and Sjögren’s Sydrome so I’m constantly fatigued. However, I am thankful and grateful that I am still able to live a normal life with these conditions, apart from the odd flare. All my life I struggled with self-confidence and a low self-esteem. I never thought I was good enough. But age makes you wiser and I’ve concluded that nobody can make me feel more loved than myself . So yes I am loving myself and I am no longer afraid to make myself visible to the world. Something not many would know about me is that I have more phobias that the number of days in the year I have a story and I sometimes share it with the world, only because I see it as a means of giving someone, somewhere a little ray of hope. My life isn’t perfect and I’m no Mother Theresa but I do believe we can all be kind. If I could give women one message, “always be true to yourself and stay authentic”. If people don’t like the authentic you they are not your people. #whoami

My hubby was equally chuffed and hoped that one of the kids would say no to theirs so he could have an extra one. But that wasn’t happening. I will have to make it again soon, now that strawberries are in season. I have to remember to double the recipe the next time.

Happy Monday everyone! Clearly Burritos are not th Happy Monday everyone! Clearly Burritos are not the easiest to photograph. But I have a half decent image that still looks edible. Let me just say they taste better than they look. This Indian street food called Bombay Burritos is absolutely delicious, filled with roasted veggies, pickled onion and a mint Chutney. I can have it any day of the week and once you try it I bet you would to.
