Family Friendly Recipes to Try While We #Stayathome! #bread

No all purpose flour. No eggs. No yeast. No milk. Fret not, Primlani Kitchen aka Indian Wine Goddess to the rescue. With the grocery stores running out of these basic ingredients to make bread, but naturally, the first thought that came to mind was our beloved Indian Naan.

While we were preparing hot, crispy Naan, we thought why not share some of our personal kid-friendly recipes, that are so easy to prepare that even your kids can join in and become chefs for the day, while we Stay Home, Stay Safe, Save Lives.

Home Made Tandoori Naan

This recipe and method is fool-proof, guaranteeing 100% satisfaction each time. I use a combination of half whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. It’s just healthier and crisper. Feel free to create the dough entirely out of all-purpose flour for the traditional Naan taste or instead of making Naan, make Tandoori Roti by making the dough with wheat flour. Either ways, the results are a smoky, charred, tangy naan that will satisfy all your bread cravings. Click HERE.

Fried Bake

I have been told that Fried Bake and Saltfish is the quintessential breakfast, also known as Trini Bakes, Guyanese Bakes, or simply Floats throughout the Caribbean Islands. In my humble opinion, Bake is that kind of bread which can be eaten with almost anything. Puffy and light, kissed with cinnamon, what’s there not to love? Slice it up, stuff with egg or fish, spread some fruit preserve, mop it up with some spicy curry chicken, or simply eat it by itself. I don’t think I have made any ‘bread’ that is so pleasing and yet requirea literally no effort or exotic ingredients. Click HERE for the recipe.

Empanada

Empanadas come in all shapes and sizes. Baked or fried, you’ll encounter these handheld pockets of sublime heaven in every part of the world – Calzone in Italy, Samosa in India, Dumplings in SE Asia, Pastelillos in Cuba. We are combining a butter rich dough with sweet onions, golden raisins, caramelized onions, and meat that delivers perfection in every bite. The best part of King Arthur’s recipe for the dough is that anyone can create the perfect crust within minutes. All you need is KA flour, butter, and loads of TLC. Meat recipe can be found here or vegetarian – click here.

Mango Lassi Popsicles

With summer at our heels, we can’t help but recall our childhood care-free days, sipping yogurt lassi to beat the blistering Indian summer, and munching on the coveted, king of Indian fruit – Mango. Here’s an icy treat which both kids and adults will relish – Mango Lassi Popsicles.
