Spiced Sweet-Potato Bowl 🥗 - Wholesome, hearty, and a little bit fancy. Our kind of meal.

Sweet Potato — Poke holes all over, rub with oil, salt & pepper. Bake at 350°F / 175°C for 30–35 mins, flipping halfway. Toothpick should slide out clean. Halve and lightly mash.

Black Bean Curry — In a pot heat oil, add jeera, mustard seeds, ginger garlic paste, tomato, salt & turmeric. Sauté till oil separates. Add red chilli powder, then cooked black beans with water to your preferred consistency. Finish with rajma masala and simmer. (Any bean curry works — kala chana, chole, rajma, you name it!)

Shredded Chicken — Marinate chicken breast with spices of your choice. Cook in a pan for 10 mins, rest covered, then shred. (Vegetarians can replace chicken with Paneer or skip it completely. Still tastes amazing 😉)

Assembly — Layer salad leaves → lightly mashed sweet potato → black bean curry → shredded chicken → grated cheese → yogurt → pomegranate seeds. Don't skip the pomegranate. Seriously.

Lemon-Coriander Chicken Ramen 🍜🌿

A bold, herby broth with tender pan-fried chicken with silky noodles. This one's a keeper.

✨ INGREDIENTS
• Ramen/rice noodles
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1L chicken bone broth
• 1 bunch coriander, 7-8 garlic cloves, 3" ginger, 8 green chillies → blended into a paste
• Toppings: carrots, corn, spinach, spring onion, eggs

✨ METHOD
1. Blend coriander, garlic, ginger, chillies, salt & lime juice into a paste. Marinate chicken in half the paste for 1 hour.
2. Pan-fry chicken on medium heat, covered, ~5-6 mins per side. Rest covered.
3. Deglaze the pan with a splash of broth and set aside.
4. In a pot, sauté remaining paste with carrots, corn & spinach. Add all the broth and simmer.
5. Cook noodles & eggs directly in the broth using a strainer.
6. Bowl it up — noodles, broth, chicken, halved egg, spring onions. Enjoy! 🙌

Reduce the chillies for a milder version 🌶️
