I once read, Armenian mothers line up a number of objects in front of their babies as a part of a ritual when their first teeth appear. The first item they show interest in is supposed to predict their future careers. A book usually represents a scholar, money symbolizes a banker, and a knife foretells that the child will become a doctor and in my case it must have been a Ladle!
As you might have guessed by now that, I do enjoy cooking, eating, feeding and sharing recipes! ☺️
So here I am with one of my favourite recipe of all time, Thai Pineapple and Cashew fried sticky Rice!!
There is nothing complicated about this super-quick, super-easy and super-delicious dinner…! It is for those days when you have been juggling between errands and kids, and just want to keep every thing in sane.
I served it with Thai chicken satay, (click here for the recipe) cucumber salad and peanut dipping sauce.
it was an absolute treat!😍
