Lemonade with mint


3 lemons
2 tbsp or more mint
4 to 5 cups of cold water
6 tbsp sugar or more to taste
pinch of salt optional (regular or black salt)

Put the lemons for about 10 to 15 seconds in the microwave which makes it easy to release the juices. Roll the lemon by pressing with the palm then cut into half and squeeze the juice.
Add cold water, sugar and salt if using.
Pound the mint with a mortar and pestle to release flavour then add it to the lemonade. Serve this refreshing drink cold.

Banana pancakes


1 cup flour
pinch of cardamom powder
1 egg optional
1/2 cup or 2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup milk or more to make the batter
treacle or maple syrup to serve

Mix the flour and cardamom powder, leave it aside.
Using a blender blend the bananas, egg if using and milk till it is smooth. Add the flour mixture and blend to make a smooth pancake batter without lumps.
Heat a griddle. Depending on the pan or griddle coat with oil before putting the batter. When the griddle is hot put 2 tbsp batter and smoothen it like crepe, but not too thin. Let it cook until it is easy to turn. Turn and cook the other side.
