Being brought up in Poland, I have never eaten #chana (chickpea) for the first 20 years of my life. Can you imagine? No, you probably can’t 😉 I’ve never even heard about this particular legume until I tried it in the UK in Indian restaurant about 10 years ago. Of course, there are other legumes used and known in my homeland, but not this one. However, in the recent years popularity of chickpea started to grow in Poland. By the way, I wonder who can pronounce chickpea in Polish – #ciecierzyca Crazy name, right? 😛 There are plenty of recipes available on internet for a perfect #chanamasala - dry or in a curry. All of them (or 99% of them) suggest to serve it with a rice, any kind of Indian bread or even potatoes. I’ve come up with a slightly different, new way of serving it. As I live in the UK, one of the most easy and popular dishes here is beans on toast. So…. why not to replace beans with chana and make Chana Masala on Toast! 😊 Indian dish with a British twist 🇮🇳🇬🇧 Check my latest blog post for recipe➡️ link in Bio I’ve tried it many times and the combination works perfectly well. Try this at home too 🍞🍛 Enjoy your meal 😀 ——————————————— #chanamasalaontoast #beansontoast #indian #indianfood #indiancuisine #britishindian #mixcuisine #india #indiagram #homemade #recipeoftheday #food #foodporn #foodiegram #polskamama #punjabiwife #ontheblog #blog #tasty #lickingfingers #delicious #mixedcuisine #chickpeas #chickpeacurry #chole #cholemasala #punjabi

Many of you know by now that I live in a mixed marriage- interracial and interfaith. I’m a Catholic and my husband is a Sikh. Our son is interfaith- Catholic & Sikh. In most countries today, people are allowed to marry whomever they want. They can mix, blend and create fabulous fusions. It sounds so simple and easy, doesn’t it? Sadly, it wasn’t always like that. Even nowadays, it still happens that mixed marriages do raise eyebrows. Check out my latest article on my blog “Is My Catholic-Sikh Mixed Marriage Socially Legal?” ➡️ link in Bio How about you guys? Are you in a relationship that still raises eyebrows? 💞💔🤔🤭🤫😵😲 It doesn’t have to be a mixed relationship. It can be any other that causes ‘a certain look’. Have you ever experienced any strange situation? I’m the lucky one. I’ve never had any unpleasant situation, but raised eyebrows do happen- especially in India and in Poland 😲😉 ———————————- #fabulousfusions #marriage #mixedmarriage #interfaith #interfaithfamily #interfaithmarriage #society #catholic #katolik #sikh #polishindian #polishpunjabi #catholicism #sikhism #singh #polskamama #polskadziewczyna #slub #wesele #oniona #love #mixedrelationship #relationshipgoals #interracial #interracialcouple #mrandmrs #interraciallove #together #weddingrings

Whenever somebody mentions the word ‘Santorini’, you can hear just: awwww, ohhhhh, wooow, oh my God, breahtaking, dazzling, my dream! Well… these are all the right expresions 🙂 Santorini is a typical head-turner. There are few places in the world that are beyond beautiful and photos never lie. They are unique, divine, extraordinary, charming, magnificent, yet famous and instantly recognisable all around the world. #santorini is definitely one of them. More photos on my blog ➡️ link in Bio Have you been there? What's your opinion about Santorini? ☀️🚤🏖 #santorinigreece #santorinistyle #greece #aroundtheworld #bluedome #bluedomes #cyclades #magnificent #dream #travel #travelblogger #travelgram #travelblog #travelcouple #familytravel #travellingwithkids #igtravel #instatravel #traveladdict #wanderlust #adventure #polskamama #polskadziewczyna #mixedfamily #travelgram #travelbug #blog #passionpassport

Yesterday, I filled out some registration form for my son. There was again this one box that always brings smile on my face- religion. It’s a tiny box, perfect for a few letters. However, in our case there are few letters more than usual. He is Catholic. He is Sikh. He is Catholic-Sikh or Sikh-Catholic (whatever choice you prefer) 🙏 We are multicultural, multilingual, interracial and multireligious family 👪 Living in an interfaith family is a choice. The same choice as choosing one dominant religion or no religion. Although some of you might not agree, I consider our decision as the right one. It can only benefit and enrich our child. It will make him open minded and unprejudiced. It will teach him to respect faiths other than Sikhism and Catholicism as we do not consider any religion being greater than others. They all have equal status. If you want to read more, check my new post on my blog➡️ link in Bio What about your family? Do you follow one religion or maybe you live in interfaith family like us? Share your story, I’m sure it will be an interesting one 🙂 #fabulousfusions #interfaith #multireligious #multifaith #interfaithfamily #multifaithfamily #sikhism #catholicism #sikh #catholic #christianity #christian #religion #faith #believe #parenting #mixedfamily #multicultural #multiculturalfamily #punjabi #polskamama #polskadziewczyna #blog #ontheblog #church #gurudwara #coexist #myhome #aroundtheworld
