Puff Puff Recipe

Ingredients
2 tsp yeast
½ tsp ground nutmeg
Sugar (100g)
¼ tsp salt
Plain Flour (250g)
Warm water for mixing
Vegetable Oil for deep frying

Preparing the Puff-Puff
·         Place the flour in a bowl, then add sugar, salt, yeast, nutmeg and mix together. If your yeast is not powdered, mix it in lukewarm water and leave for 3-5mins then wait for the next step
·         Add warm water in bits to the ingredients above to make the puff-puff rise, till it is fully mixed. You may now add the yeast mix and keep mixing. Avoid getting the mix watery
·         Place foil paper or a plastic cover over the bowl and ensure that it is well covered (Be generous with the use of foil; ensure no room for air is left). Leave for about 30-45mins to rise. You will know it has risen when you see air bubbles in the mix
·         Heat up enough vegetable oil in a very deep pan or pot. When you feel the oil has become hot enough, Place a drop of the puff mix into the oil; If it turns brown and floats then the oil is hot enough
·         Using a scooping spoon or your hands, place several scoops of the mix into the oil as much as the pot can contain, but avoid a mess
·         Turn the puff-puff over when the side on the surface has turned golden brown.
·         When every part is completely dry, take out the puff-puff from the oil and place in a sieve, then onto a kitchen paper to reduce the amount of oil.
·         And your puff-puff is ready to be served

Avocados'

Avocados are very nutritious and contain monounsaturated fats (MUFA’s), fibers, potassium and some vitamins. Avocados are said to contain around 160 calories, 3 grams of protein, 12 grams of carbohydrate and about 21.5 grams of fat with the majority of carbohydrates in form of fibers. You can eat them in moderation as part of a weight-loss diet or add them to your regular diet as a concentrated source of calories to help you gain weight. While Avocados contain relative high calories, the Oleic acid contained in the MUFA’s can help to reduce one’s cravings for food and is used by the body as an energy burner, instead of the saturated fat you must have assumed it was. They also contain beta-sitosterol, a compound known to lower cholesterol levels. There are lots of health benefits attached to eating Avocados from improvement in Eye health to a glowing skin tone. Avocados can be eaten with almost anything, but for a healthy diet, I would recommend eating them with Salmons, Wheat brea...
