Zaatar Cheese Omelette

Zaatar Cheese Omelette with Layered Paratha and Tea

It's a powerpacked, healthy breakfast menu which I absolutely love having on weekends. As it's a filling menu and the aroma of zaatar is really tempting makes you feel hungry even if you really are not, I find it's an ideal suhoor meal 😂😋😋

Zaatar is a middle eastern blend of dried thyme, oregano, marjoram and tossed sesame seeds which is then seasoned with salt and optionally with sumac. It has got many health benefits which toucan Google but I personally feel is surely does help improve my mood and gives a fresh feeling. Also helps digestion and soothes stomach ache caused by acid reflux. So, in short, I just love zaatar lol.

Simple Broiled Fish

We koknis love fish and no day is complete without at least one meal with fish. We get numerous varieties of fish here and have many different preparations and recipes for different kind of fish and prawns, shrimps etc. Mostly fish recipes are spicy and elaborated but then you have the days where you just can't tolerate the spices or the heat and want something quick, easy and simple.

I remember my grandma used to broil fish and served us with dal rice or with Hilda and buzlela papad because as kids we wouldn't rolerate the spicy fish chillat they used to make as an accompaniment. It tasted so good that till date there's nothing equal to that taste. I especially love Boi fish broiled this way. There in the old house we have a separate open kitchen where we have these clay stove where wood is used as fuel known as "choolh" though now those choolhs are not used since many years and to be honest in have never cooked on the choolh ☹☹ so, my grandma used to put fish in dried coconut shells over live coal pieces and flipping it to cook it from all the sides. If the fish size was large, they used to put directly in clay stove over coals. The aroma and the taste was so appetizing and rustic that no one would dare to avoid. You don't need to add in oil or butter as when fish is broiled slowly it leaves it own oil. So let's make it now ;)
