What is Wheat Germ? & It's HOT in here...
>> Saturday, 27 February 2010
If you tell me to go into a health food store to buy a food item or product, I'll roll my eyes. Given this fact, how then do I end up talking about wheat germ, and what is it anyway? Click here to read this week's column and to find out how to use this super-health product.
And now for some heat. If you're not into spicy hot food, don't be put off by these dishes because the heat can be adjusted to suit your tastes. But, for chilli heads like me, this is as good as it gets.
First up, Pepper Roti. Here's the recipe with a step by step demo. And here are my important cooking notes on making this dish.
Next up is Scent of Spice's Roast Chicken with "Bajak" Chilli Sauce. The link includes the recipe.
The Hindu community the world over will be celebrating Phagwah (Holi) this weekend and I'd like to wish everyone a colourful, joyful and peaceful festival.

my mother used to make me eat lots of wheat germ as a kid--I really hate it now. LOL
Only you could make wheat germ look beautiful hahaha. Those chicken and roti dishes look amazing as well. YUM!
The next time I make my honey molasses cocoa bread, I am going to add some wheat germ for a healthier version :)
The stuffed roti and roast chicken look really good, Cyn.

woah that chicken looks amazing! Thanks for the roti link, I always wonder how they make it.
I am cracking up about your comment on the wheat germ packaging. Just cracking up. Men Love It! is completely annoying and beyond the point.
Man - roti looks good. Going to have to see if I can finagle a recipe out of someone!
Great to learn more about wheat germ! The pepper roti look so scrumptious and the sauce for the chicken sounds amazing!
All this food looks so delicious and good for you!
hi,
Just stumbled into your blog...
IT is such a lovely blog....
These look so delicious! Yummy!
Food is beautiful, feel it when visit your place!.. :)
This dish look so interesting
Gosh u make me jump seeing that spicy chicken! Drooling!
Wow I like that chicken dish! drooling now!
Everything looks good, but that roasted chicken looks GOOOOOOD! :P
The chilli roti sounds good.
You got me drooling over your chicken. Yum yum
Just a question: Wouldn't all the nutrient in wheat germs get destroyed if you baked them or cook them? Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question. I'm Asian and I never heard of wheat germs until I live in France. LOL!
I am not much in to healthy food till now...but should start it real soon....my weight tells so:)Love that chicken and roll very much.
gosh! u managed to make wheat germs look so good!!!
The chicken and roti looks amazing as well. I guess i better take some wheat germ to minus those effects of the other food i have been eating!
Both dishes looks fantastic! Love the hot flavors!
Wheat germ is a staple in our general markets here, but I would never purchase it if it was labeled as your brand is. That would have *my* eyes rolling.
Your pepper roti, however, is an eyeful! Hot heads unite!
That chicken is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!
The label on the wheat germ sounds wild. I looked for a picture of it online, but couldn't find it. That might put me off buying that brand...
My my... your food spread is making me hungry!
Hot in there? It's hot in here too! Finally, all the spicy food cannot tempt me :(
THANK YOU for the roti recipe. I could really use this taste of the Caribbean in the middle of winter. And I am a roti fanatic....could eat 3 myself.
(As for the wheat germ, I know it's good for me, but it's not my favorite...)
I'd love to try wheat germ,still haven't found in stores here.The stuffed roti looks so appetizing,got me instantly hungry :D
Lovely pics Cynthia! Wheatgerm is really healthy I agree, great post.
Lovely........I cant believe that I am drooling over something healthy
Have a packet of wheat germ in my pantry..should use it up!!!
Yummy looking chicken..dear.
Oh! I never had wheat germ...thanks for introducing it to me :-) Tee dishes look yummie!
I havent had a good roti in so long, wow does this make me want to travel all over Manhattan to get one.
Really I like wheat germ and use its with many dishes.
Thank you Cynthia!
I so so wish that i could grab that delcious spicy droolie chicken pieces.
Oooh - those Roti remind me of Pupusas. Yum!
Those rotis looks lovely and inviting!
