Hi friends, I am back with some more stuff for you guys man. This time I go, Yo man, and Wallah wallah!

I love food ! is the basic reason for being here, is an old story by now. What is new is that I am here with some International dishes. I have loved eating them, making them and now am even happier sharing them with you.

First dish is a Scone which is a British breakfast dish, eaten with tea. You can make them sweet and savoury. Mine is a savoury.

Second dish is an Arabic/Egyptian dish, Falafel. This is made with chickpeas and eaten as is, or as a filling with veggies and hummus in pita bread.

My family enjoyed both the dishes and hope you enjoy them too. Here again the credit for introducing me to International cuisine goes to both my bachchas.

Feta Bell Pepper Scone
Ingredients
1 cup all purpose flour
Orange and red Bell peppers, half of each, chopped into pieces and sauteed in olive oil
2 tspoons of olive oil
1 tblspoon butter
Little sugar
1/2 a tspoon baking powder
2 tbspoons Feta cheese
A handful of fresh parsley chopped
A handful of fresh coriander leaves chopped
Salt to taste (go easy on it since cheese and butter both have salt in it)
Buttermilk as required for making the dough

Method
Mix all the above ingredients in buttermilk to a bread kind of consistency and keep the dough for resting for half an hour. Make a big ball, flatten it and put it to cook on a greased pan, cover while cooking, flip and cook till light brown and crisp. Serve with basil leaves, grated cheese if you like cheese and a sprinkle of olive oil.

Falafel
Ingredients
For grinding to a coarse paste, put in all these except the flour and parsley
2 cups chickpeas boiled
1 small onion roufgly chopped
3-5 roasted garlic cloves
2 tspons of cumin powder
1 tspoon of coriander powder
1/4 tspoon of pepper powder
1/4 tspoon red chilli powder
A pinch of ground cardomom

1 and a 1/2 tbspoons of flour
A handful of chopped fresh parsley
Salt to taste

Take a vessel and mix the ground paste and the flour and parsley. Keep oil for heating in a wok, make small balls of the mixture.Once the oil heats up, put one ball for trial, if it breaks and spreads, then you need to add little more flour. Check again and fry all.

This can be eaten as it is or you can put it inside the pita bread with hummus spread, tomatoes, cucumber, fresh lettuce. This makes a meal in itself. Hoping that you enjoy both the dishes.
