unless

you take a knife tip of harissa...

i said a knife tip, because if you use more, believe me, you are on fire!!!!!

i know, because on one greedy lunch i take more to flavour up my couscous and ...yes fire!

spices

When travelling i always wonder where the spices are coming from. There were so many traders and invaderes in all directions of the world, that i lost track where they originally came from.

Did they bring them from the Middle East to India?

Or did they brought the spices back to their home countries from India?

Anyhow the soukhs look very much like the indian bazaar, having almost the same kind of spices. But i must admit that i was a bit disappointed that the Tunesian cuisine was very mild flavoured....unless

gajrela

For the very first time i made gajrela or gajar ka halwa. When i am homesick of India, it is mostly smells and tastes that are haunting me. So i tried one of my favorite dishes and if i may say so, it is delicious!

My arm is a bit lame because of all the stirring, but it was worth the effort. Yummy, yummy!!!

sweet poison

When i returned from gurdwara i almost had a sugar shock. And on my hips was at least one kilo of weight more!

Food is delicious in the gurdwara, but often it is a deadly combination of sugar and fat.

So next time i will walk to gurdwara instead of going by car, hopefully this way i stay healthty.

sunday lunch

Yummy!
