Orange Chocolate Autumn Cupcakes

Ever tasted soft, fluffy, airy, light chocolatet, orange flavoured cupcakes? Well these are ALL THAT and so much more. I'm a sucker for chocolate so maybe I am biased but, that is the truth, everything I said about these cupcakes. It was only fitting to have my first cupcake recipe on this blog be a chocolate one! You can check out the full video of all the steps you need to take to enjoy these delicacies. 

Ndengu Curry in Coconut Cream:

Whenever I think about Ndengu or Pojo in Swahili or Mung Dal in Indian or Green Grams in English, 🤗😄 I always think of Chapati. My next favourite meal after R&B (Rice & Beans)! I like Rice and Ndengu but not that much, I would rather eat the ndengu on its own. I love coconut in anything, and that is what I love about this Ndengu curry. You can check out the full recipe on my YOUTUBE channel below. Comment or ask any question and I will be happy to answer.

Homemade Popcorn 2 Ways:

I love popcorn! I love popcorn! I cannot stress that enough. My earliest memory of eating popcorn, I remember almost every weekend we would go to our cousin's place in Lucky Summer. They always cooked popcorn and served on a large tray with tea. We would all, kids, gather around and enjoy the snack. And so it has always been that we eat our popcorn with tea. Which some guys find it strange but it's the way we love it. Flavoured popcorn came along but we still stick to the authentic plain popcorn. Today I decided to try 2 new popcorn flavours and I must say I am loving the taste of butter and turmeric popcorn! Whats your favourite popcorn flavour? I have the video of the whole process of making these two popcorn flavour. Check it out below and SUBSCRIBE if you have not, like and leave a comment!

Pilipili ya Kukaanga (Swahili-style Fried Chili Sauce)

My first ever encounter with Pilipili ya Kukaanga was when we went to visit one of our cousin. She is "Coastarian" what we like to refer those guys who live on the Kenyan Coast like Mombasa, Lamu, Diani among other towns. They are well known for their spicy, fragrant and yummy Swahili cuisines. From bhajia, biryani, achari, mabuyu, mahamri, pilau, samosa, pilipili ya maembe... yaani, mapochopocho! 😋Our cousin had cooked Pilau and she says pilau is incomplete without Pilipili ya Kukaanga. Thus was the beginning of my love for this spicy hot delicious sauce! Pilipili ya kukaanga is simply a delicious chili sauce that is used to accompany dishes like Pilau, Biryani among other delicious Coastal delicacies. This is my simpler version but you can get as detailed as you like, you can add different spices, herbs, and even vegetables like bell peppers. Anything goes but the chillies are what is constant, so it depends how hot 🌶 you wanna go! I literally ate a few spoonfuls before I could cook the main meal, its that delicious. I also have a video on how I made this Pilipili ya Kukaanga, do check it out and SUBSCRIBE if you have not, thanks Loves!
