Chocolate Muffins

A friend made amazing chocolate cake. I couldn’t help but make the muffin version of it. Recipe was fairly simple: 120g sugar, 75g flour and 3 eggs beaten together and later mixed with 200g melted chocolate and 100g butter. Baked at 180°C for 30m in a preheated oven.

Keukenhof

This year I got a chance to see Keukenhof again but from a different and non-touristic perspective when a friend offered to drive me around the fields outside of the touristic keukenhof area. Although the look of the flowers remain the same, the experience was drastically different.

Idli

Idli, my favorite food item, is a traditional south indian breakfast/snack item, made by steaming a batter consisting of fermented rice flour and black lentils. After 2 days of prep (grinding and fermenting), I finally made some idlis during the weekend which turned out to be fantastic. I also made Allam Pacchadi (Garlic chutney) and Sambar to go along with it.
