Winters in Assam are harsh. I remember how much I hated waking up early in the morning to catch my bus. Crawling out of the bed was a punishment in itself. A sweater, jacket, veil or a cap and stockings were not sufficient in keeping us warm. Nights are long and I would usually crave for a bowl of warm soup and anything non-vegetarian. Well winters here in the UAE are pleasant. Yesterday it drizzled and I quickly made this simple dish. The layers are thick slices of potato, kebabs, tomatoes and Cheddar cheese. What do you crave during winter?? *I used the same meatballs recipe(link in bio) for the kebabs. Just shape them as desired and shallow fry. Make the layers and bake for 15-20 minutes. Top with basil leaves, chili flakes and pepper. . . #magicingredient #fahmimarif #foodstyling #foodstylist #dubaifoodblogger #uaefoodstylist #dinner #weekend #sunday

Sandwiches in any form are my little ones current favorite. He is a fan of the turkey and cheese toastie from Costa. But he is happy to eat sandwiches with the grilled marks. I tuck in almost anything inside to make it healthy and filling. Cooked beets, eggs with labneh and arugula is one pretty sandwich that is also enjoyed as toasts by the adults. Do share your favorite sandwich stuffing. . . . #magicingredient #fahmimarif #foodstyling #foodstylist #dubaifoodblogger #uaefoodblogger #sandwich #mondaymotivation #healthyrecipes #toastsforall #toasts
