Wash the tendli, snip of the ends and chop into thin round slices.

Suya/Grilled Beef Skewers#EatTheWorld

Sierra Leone-style beef skewers (also known locally as Kebab or Suya). Suya is tender beef threaded on a skewer and then baked or grilled to perfection in a tantalizing spicy peanut sauce. Suya, a very spicy street food that's popular in western Africa.

This is my take on Suya, grilled beef skewers from West Africa. Sirloin steak is marinated in a quick and easy marinade that is extremely delicious and perfect for cooking on the grill. They’re ideal for snacks, summer picnics, or even a main or side dish.

Serves 8

Ingredients
1 Cup Salted Roasted Peanuts - skinned
1 Tablespoon Paprika powder
2 Teaspoons Onion powder
2 Teaspoons Ginger powder
1 Teaspoon Red Pepper flakes
1 Teaspoon Garlic powder
2 Tablespoons Tomato paste
1 Teaspoon All Spice Powder
2 Tablespoons Olive oil
1 Teaspoon Salt or to taste
1 Kg Beef Undercut /Sirloin Steak- cut into 2 inch cubes
Method
Place peanuts in a food processor, process until it starts to become a paste. Add paprika, onion powder, ginger, pepper flakes and garlic powder, pulse until combined.

Pat dry the beef with a kitchen towel to remove any moisture.
Place beef in a large bowl or shallow dish. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Add peanut mixture and tomato paste mix well and toss so that each cube of meat is coated with the spice mix. Refrigerate, covered, for 2 hours or overnight.
Soak the skewers totally submerged in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning. Drain beef, discarding marinade.

Thread beef onto wooden skewers. 

Grill, covered, over medium-high heat until beef reaches desired doneness, 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. 

Garnish beef skewers with sliced onions, lime wedges, green onions, chopped coriander leaves, and chopped peanuts if desired.

Keto Flaxseed & Coconut Flour Flatbread#SundayFunday

These keto flatbreads are so easy to make and super low carb.
I make toasties, wraps, pizzas, wraps out of them and can be used to make sweet treats by slathering them with any keto approved fruit jam or spread... the possibility of using these are endless. I make a big batch of these every week. They stay good in the fridge for 10 days or more. I reheat them and enjoy. Here I have used chicken flour which is optional for more protein.

60 Grams Coconut Flour
100 Grams Oat Fiber
40 Grams Psyllium Husk powder
40 Grams Golden Flaxseed powder
25 Grams Chicken Flour - optional
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder

Method

Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl well. Add the oil and give it a good mix. Now add the water a little at a time and knead with a spoon, because the water is very hot. After that knead the dough with your hand ( I used the entire given water to knead the dough). Knead to a soft, moist and smooth dough is formed. Cling wrap the dough and keep it for 20 minutes.

Then cut into equal parts. Moisten your hand with little water and roll into smooth ball. 
Roll each ball between two plastic sheets with a rolling pin. Or use a puri /tortilla press to make these. Cut this with 6" round ring or lid.
Heat a non stick pan and bake them on one side for 3 minutes low flame.
Then flip and cook on medium high pressing the edges with a cloth till brown spots appear.
These puffed up like normal wheat flour rotis. Your will love these keto flatbreads. Our keto flatbread is ready.

Keto Fried Cabbage Momos#SundayFunday

Fried Cabbage Momos is a low-carb twist to the traditional momos. If you have been missing out on your favorite momos while following a Keto diet, try this Keto Fried Cabbage Momos. It’s perfect comfort food but without those extra carbs. Try these low-carb momos for guilt-free snacking anytime you want. 
Ingredients
1 Medium White Cabbage
2 Spring Onions/ Scallions - chopped finely
1 Teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste
500 Grams Minced Meat ( I used half if each beef & pork)
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
½ Teaspoon Red Chilly Flakes
½ Teaspoon Level Pink Himalayan Salt
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder pepper (to taste)
Butter (for frying)
Method

Remove the center stem creating a well so that the leaves can loosen while boiling.

Parboil the white cabbage boiling water for 3- 4 minutes. 

Once the Cabbage Leaves are done, remove the Cabbage Leaves from the water.Drain and remove excess water with a towel, then divide the cabbage into single leaves.

In a bowl, mix the finely chopped spring onions, ginger garlic with the minced meat. Season with salt, red chilly flakes and pepper, but be cautious with the salt due to the soy sauce.
Now depending on the size of the Momos you want and the size of the Cabbage Leaves present, you can either use one whole Cabbage Leave to make a Momo or tear the leaf in half. It's really up to you!

Lay out the cabbage leaves and place one tablespoon heaped of the stuffing on each leaf. 

Fold them up and close tightly.

On the same container, which you used to boil the Cabbage, put a strainer and add a little oil to it and spread it around. Add the Momos one by one to it, and cover it and let it cook for about 12-15 minutes. Cool them a little. 

Heat a pan with butter and fry the momos 

until they turn brown on both sides.

Serve the momos with Sriracha sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Keto Rutabaga French Fries#SundayFunday

Rutabaga is a root vegetable that can be cut up, seasoned and oven-baked to make this keto friendly low carb Rutabaga Fries.
Healthy oven-baked rutabaga fries with a great crunchy exterior and a fluffy interior. Although these fries can’t replace potato fries, they’re a wonderful substitute with way less carbs! Making these fries is a great way to incorporate more veg in your keto diet.

It's called rutabaga in the US, swede in the UK, swedish turnip or yellow turnip but in England, swede  or neep in Scotland, in Russian it’s bryukva and in India we call it shalgam.

The trickiest part is peeling and slicing the rutabaga. Rutabagas are quite hard, so cutting through them is not as easy as slicing a potato. You can either peel the rutabaga using a potato peeler or a paring knife.

Ingredients
3 Rutabaga's - cut into ½-inch fries
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 -3 Springs Fresh Thyme
A Sprinkle Of Paprika Powder
A Sprinkle Of Garlic Powder
A Spinkle Of Pink Himalayan Salt
¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine rutabaga fries with oil, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt and pepper on the prepared sheet pan, and toss until evenly coated. Arrange the rutabaga fries on the baking sheet in a single layer leaving space in between them.

Bake for 30- 40 minutes, flipping the rutabaga fries halfway through; until they are crisped on the outside and cooked through on the inside. 

These are excellent for snacking. Always keep these handy when rutabaga is in season.
