Sunday Brunch ideas

sooraj-mukhi · Feb 27th, 2006, 10:14 AM

Our family has a tradition of sunday brunch- the only time all of us actually get together and eat together

But lately we are getting bored of the menu and i was wondering if you all had any suggestions.
We do the omelette, keema or kabab, aaloo ki bhujia, fresh juice and paratha- some times the aaloo gets switched with channay and paratha with poori or bhatura.

A fritata or quiche goes really well for our desi brunches. You can also make spinach and ricotta rolls in phyllo dough. Absolutely

you missed black pudding!

I visited your quaint little town last year and was horrified by the excesses you commit at breakfast

Blackpudding is a type of sausage amde with pigs blood

Sausage made of PIGS BLOOD

admitidly its dried up pigs blood, mixed with animal fat and salt and herbs and some meat and ofal and grain

but basically PIGS BLOOD

anyway its delicious.. but full bad cholesterol and thats why I only eat it once a year at christmas

Do you have the recipe for dum ka qeema? Thanks!

Sooraj-mukhi, have you ever tried working with puff pastry sheets? You can change up the menu a little or a lot by using these, they're simple, easy, and delicious! You can make puffy pastries filled with keema, vegetables, or even go the sweet way, filling them with sondesh, egg halwa, or even a store bought one. You can prepare them ahead of time and just keep them in the freezer for later. I tend to serve them with tea when I have guests coming over. Let me know if you want the recipes, and I'll be sure to post 'em.
