Cinnamon Plum Jam Recipe

Make homemade cinnamon plum jam with this easy recipe! A perfect blend of sweet plums and warm cinnamon, ideal for spreading on toast or as a gift. It's still Plum season in Nairobi, and I thought that I would take advantage of them before they go out of season until next year! Well, apart from eating them all the time, there are so many things that you can do with these delicious morsels of fruit. I have a few plum recipes that I have tried, so look out for them in the coming days. I decided that my first plum recipe would be making a Jam. Jams are sweet condiments that make your bread not at all boring by giving it a spectacular taste. I realized that making your own Jam is not really all that hard. You need only 3 ingredients, and you are done.

Try This Chocolate Rum-soaked Raisins Mango Lassi

Indulge in a unique Rum & Raisin Chocolate Mango Lassi! A delicious fusion of tropical mango, rich chocolate, and rum-soaked raisins for a creamy, flavorful treat. I think Lassis are the best thing to happen to dessert drinks. So easy to make and delicious as well. Lassis come in many different flavors that I would really like to try. Some are sweet, others salty, some include herbs like mint and most have fruit as the main ingredients. Today I give you a twist to the traditional Mango Lassi. A Lassi is basically just a yogurt based mango milkshake or a smoothie is you will. You can even add spices like Cardamon, Nutmeg or even Cinnamon.The fruits can be canned, fresh or frozen, if using frozen then you do not really need to add ice cubes. I wanted to up the flavor of the Mango Lassi by adding my favorite chocolate, Rum&Raisin Dairyland Chocolate! 

Coconut Chapati Recipe – Soft & Flaky East African Flatbread

Soft and flavorful coconut chapati made with fresh coconut and whole wheat flour. A perfect side for curries or a light, wholesome meal on its own. I think if I had my way, I would eat chapati every day of my life for the rest of it. Somehow, Chapati never gets old! I always find ways to make Chapati that much more delicious and addictive, not that it needs any upgrade. I have always loved coconut, whether I am using it in drinks, rice, or just munching on it raw as I grate, hence today's recipe of Coconut Chapati. My memories of coconuts date back to when my mom used to buy lots of coconuts and cook it in pilaf rice. We had that traditional coconut grater that was made of wood. You would sit on it and pup half the coconut on a blade that was at the front and grate away. It was always fun, and we all looked forward to most weekends that we got the chance to do that. So take coconut and add Chapati, and you have a match made in heaven. The coconut made the dough so soft that it was easy to knead and did not take too much time to rest. As you cook the Chapati, you will be warmed up by the sweet aroma of coconut that emanates from the Chapati being cooked. So far I have made dhania chapati, wholewheat chapati, and plain chapati.
