    Truth be told – the curry and rice thing is probably my favorite type of food. Coriander, Basil, & Mint Leaves are hands down my favorite herbs of all time. If I could have the herb garden of my dreams, I would plant Mint and Basil everywhere!!

    While most of the Pakistani dishes that I cook require coriander as garnish, for this dish, the mint herb paste forms the backbone of the sauce. The combination of fresh coriander and mint makes the dish light and fragrant and gently simmering the chicken in the creamy yogurt ensures that you end up with juicy morsels of meat. 
    Please make sure that you use the tender , young leaves of Mint in this dish – the harder, older leaves will most probably end up making the dish taste bitter.

    This chicken curry bursts with flavors of mint and creamy yogurt and is bound to make you and your guests happy. The spice level of this dish will vary depending on your taste. I used just 2 green chilies and a pinch of cayenne pepper in this curry to make a mild, family-friendly dish. For more heat,  you can add a drizzle of red pepper, some of the seeds of the jalapeño, or some crushed green chilies.

    This is a quick and simple recipe to prepare using ingredients that I always have on hand. Less is more – focus on the true tastes by using fewer ingredients. Flavorful and very easy to prepare, this recipes will make your weeknight dinners stress-free . Do try it!

    Bismillah let’s get started. 
    First, You will need some boneless chicken. I prefer the breast because you get some super fine chunks out of it. But you can make both curries with bone-in pieces or boneless pieces of chicken. Obviously, boneless chicken will cook faster, and is my choice when I want to cook a quick curry. BUT, a GOOD chicken curry uses bone-in chicken pieces because the bones flavor the gravy/sauce.

    In a blender, pour 1/2 cup of yogurt yogurt, 1 small bunch of mint leaves, coriander leaves, green pepper, garlic ginger paste, cumin powder, a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt and squeezed lemon. Blend until well combined and put in the chicken; Cover and let it marinate for 30 minutes to blend flavors.

    You can marinade the chicken for a few hours or even overnight. If you really are in a rush, you can even cook the chicken straight away.

    Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick pan.

    Then add the marinated chicken along with the marination. Cook and stir for 10 minutes on medium flame. Then cover and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until chicken becomes soft .

    Remove the lid and cook on high flame for just few minutes or until sauce is thickened or all water dries up. ( Make sure to not over cook it will ruined the mint taste).

    When I begin to think about cakes, the first ingredient that comes to mind is chocolate! And what if your chocolate cake full of chocolate chips, topped with creamy chocolate ganache and dark chocolate? Then, we are talking about one of the most decadent chocolate cakes – Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake. 

    Chocolate in three forms, makes this cake extra chocolaty—and extra delicious.  A chocolate lover’s dream come true!!!

    Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake

    Since I began blogging, there are a few fantastic recipes which made me say, “Wooow, I hope I will be able to make something like this some day”. Of course, after a good look and many photos of these desserts, I always gave up not having enough belief in my baking possibilities.

    But, with time, after a lot of experience and time spent in the kitchen, my confidence began to grow. And in time missions in the kitchen that looked impossible were beginning to be solved. So I began to flirt with recipes like Chocolate Mousse Cake, Banana Chocolate Loaf Cake  and similar.

    Well, today it was turn for another chocolate masterpiece, Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake. Only one look at the photos of this divine chocolate cake always made me drool.

    A heavenly delicious chocolate cake you’ve been dreaming of! So good, every bite is worthy of a celebration! After all, there is never too much chocolate, right?! It’s pure decadence in every single bite!!!

    I have to admit this cake is not the prettiest cake but with that chocolate ganache and grated dark chocolate on top it dresses it up and makes it look scrumptious.

    You can serve this cake warm without ganache or cold with creamy ganache on top. I can guardsmen that there will be no leftovers of this cake. If you have chocolate lovers around you better stand back because they will run you over just to get a piece of this cake. This chocolate cake is wonderful for birthdays, bake sales, tea parties or any gathering.

    If you are not a true chocoholic then move on. But if you are, then you must try this Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake!!!

    Some Important Tips to Make Best Egg Pudding: 

    Learn how to make best Egg Pudding by following these tips and tricks.

    1. One-dish Pudding: Recipe can be baked in lightly greased 1-1/2 qt. soufflé or baking dish. Pour hot water to within 1 inch of top of dish. Increase baking time to 35 to 40 minutes.
    2. No-mess pouring: Make pudding in a bowl with a pouring lip, or transfer it to a large glass measure, to make filling pudding cups easier and neater.
    3. For perfectly smooth custard: Strain it through a sieve when filling pudding cups or baking dish to remove any tough egg strands.
    4. Don’t skip the hot-water bath. A hot water bath, insulates the pudding from the direct heat of the oven and promotes even cooking so the edges don’t overcook before the center is done. Very hot tap water will do.
    5. When is it done? Baked Pudding  should be removed from the oven (and water bath) before the center is completely set. The center will jiggle slightly when dish or cup is gently shaken. Pudding will continue to “cook” after it’s removed and center will firm up quickly. Over baked Pudding may curdle.
    6. The knife test: Test for doneness with a thin-bladed knife. Insert knife about 1 inch from the center of the dish. If knife is clean when pulled out, the pudding is done. If pudding clings to the blade, bake a few minutes longer and test again.
    7. Serving Options: You can have this yummy dessert by adding dry fruits, jelly or caramel, but today I am making the basic one. 

    If you are craving for something sweet yet easy dessert in this foggy weather, nothing could be better than this Egg Pudding.  Do try it, your kids are going to fall in love with this proteins and calcium rich dessert. You can also serve this dessert for your next party and this will definitely not going to disappoint your guests.

    Assalam-o-Alaikum, how are you? Yep, it’s been almost a month since we met. First things first…I had my mid-term exams, so I was lil busy with studying and the other stuff in my life.
    However this gap between us wasn’t planned. I was hoping to catch up with you in between, but it didn’t work out.

    My celebration “yay, exam is over!”

    Finally exams are over I’m finally free to do whatever I want (blogging, eating yummy food, spending time with my plants)😌
    Anyways, the first thing I wanted to do was to just pop in here & say a quick hi to you. I hope you roll into the weekend in a joyous mood! May your day be as fantastic as you are!

    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

    To release some exams stress, I made this butter karahi by twisting my Father’s recipe…delicious goodness. Can’t wait to share it with you. He used to make the best food. He was an expert on how to make a really good Butter Chicken. Saying that, I’m not too sure how He would feel about this Karahi Butter Chicken version that I’m currently loving.

    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)
    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

    Name me one thing that doesn’t taste better with a few dollops of cream, a knob or so of butter, a splash of milk, lashings of ghee.

    I’ll bet you’re having a hard time thinking up something. It’s a truth of the culinary world that these things all enhance the eating experience of many foods, sweet and savory foods alike and curries are no exception to this.

    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)
    Karahi Butter Chicken (Makhni Karahi)

    Take this Karahi Butter Chicken ( Makhni Karahi), for example. I’ve taken the traditional Chicken Karahi dish and made it the way we all love, with the very flavours we all adore and then finished it up with a hearty amount of butter. What does this do? This fills every bite with the very same flavours we desire, along with a moreish, rich bite to it. Every bite tastes like a buttery dream, I tell you. This creamy and velvety gravy will melt in your mouth.

     Recipe Note’s

    My final words before I give you the recipe – my Father was an expert at Karahi’s and he always told me what with chicken Karahis, you must work fast. Have all the ingredients chopped up beforehand if you can, and cook the entire thing on high heat. Stirring constantly is imperative, otherwise you risk burning the curry or having it stick to the pan. Skimp on half the oil or butter if  you must, but I wouldn’t recommend it as a Karahi dish isn’t truly a Karahi dish without its butter or oil.

    I have also posted Restaurant Style Lahori Mutton Karahi and Kebab Karahi which are another easiest & tastiest version of making Karahi at home. Do check it out as well.  It’s finger lickin’ good. You’ll be coming back for more.

    Eid Mubarak to all the readers of my blog. Eid has come and gone, and we are settling down to our routine and trust me it is very difficult after being spoiled by the easy going Ramadan timings. Lots happened during Ramadan even if it is considered to be a slow month. 

    Happy Eid Mubarak
    Happy Eid Mubarak to All my Readers!!

    Eid is a special time in Pakistan: “Festive season, Get together with friends , dinner party, dessert which comes to my mind immediately is ‘Phirni’.” After a heavy main course like Biryani or any spicy curries, phirni is something which cools and soothes you.

    Phirni: Eid Special Dessert
    Phirni: Eid Special Dessert

    Phirni is a wonderful, creamy dessert made with ground rice combined with milk, cream, sugar and some saffron strands for flavoring. Phirni is a kind of Rice Pudding, made with coarsely ground rice. It is similar to what we call “kheer” in Pakistan, but unlike Kheer, it does not use whole grains of rice. The dish is decorated with chopped or ground almonds or pistachio nuts.  The consistency of this pudding varies from thick,- where one has to really scoop out with a spoon, to creamy- where the dessert will gently coat a spoon.

    Phirni, firni: Eid Special Dessert
    Phirni: Eid Special Dessert

    The history of Phirni goes back a very long way; it seems to have originated in ancient Persia or the Middle East; and to have been introduced to Pakistan and India by the Mughul’s. In Indian and Pakistan, phirni is associated with Muslim festivals (like eid, ramadan etc.)

    Traditionally in Pakistan, Phirni is served chilled in earthen pots or small clay plates  called tothie’s. Other than just making it look pretty, the clay pot also absorbs some of the liquid giving it a thicker consistency. It tastes better when the flavors are allowed to mature for 6-7 hours or even  for a day.

    Well, when I am sad and tired and overall cranky, I likes to eat the food prepared by my mothers hand, the flavorful easy to make food I grew up eating and these Tandoori Spiced Baked Chicken in Yogurt Masala hit the spot. Neither World’s most expensive dish Nor World’s best restaurant can compete Home Cooked Food by Mothers Hand 🙂

    On to today’s recipe!

    Tandoori Spiced Baked Chicken 

    Today’s recipe is a favorite of me and my family. It’s a revamped version of this tandoori Roast Chicken Recipe which is one of my popular recipes on the blog! Why is it revamped? Well, because this recipe is more of tastiest than the old one and this is my favorite version: the chicken is deliciously spiced with yogurt marination, and the mango chutney served alongside adds fruity, tangy flavor.

    Tandoori Spiced Baked Chicken In Yogurt Masala
    Recipe Photo: Tandoori Spiced Baked Chicken In Yogurt Masala

    To pair with the creamy yogurt, and spices, instead of using bone-in chicken or pieces of chicken breast, My mom used chicken thigh and wings. Chicken thigh is fattier, juicer and much more tender than chicken breast – I’m actually not a fan of chicken breast at all due to how tough and rubbery it is. Chicken thigh releases its juices during the cooking process, which leads to a deeply, beautifully flavored tandoori chicken which literally melts in your mouth – something chicken breast can’t do without extended marination times and slow cooking.

    Aslam-o-Alakaum My Lovelies !!

     In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

    Mutton Nihari 

    Nihari is one of most favorite and traditional dishes of every Muslim home. Be it mutton, chicken or beef nihari, it can be relished with any kind of meat. Traditionally nihari made with the bone marrow meat. It’s a deliciously smooth flour based stew with slow cooked mutton and a myriad of spices.  Mutton Nihari takes a long time to cook but is easy to put together.

    mutton-nihari

    There are lot of ready made Nihari spices available in the market. But I would not Never Never recommend. As they are full of artificial colors and preservative agents. Not a healthy approach. 🙁 You can make the Nihari powder at home by following my Nihari Masala Mix and store it in airtight container for many days.

    This is a must try recipe from my Mommy.  We normally make Nihari with small pieces of mutton as we prefer it over the bone-in mutton.

    Note:

    Preferably it must be cook on low flame, but those of you who would rather prefer a faster process can cook it in a pressure cooker though the Nihari taste wont be the same as cooked on a low flame.

    So about this Mutton Nihari recipe. As you can see, there’s no layer of fat floating on top of the nihari, As many of you know, when we go out to eat it, we want the brain, marrow and floating oil on top, not a very healthy option. My mommy tried to make it just a little healthy by adding as little butter as possible without compromising on the flavor. Less fat and believe me, just as good. Or if you do like a little oil on top, when you are ready it dish it out, leave it covered on very low heat for about 5-7 minutes. Voila, the ‘little’ amount of oil will rise to the top!

    • Dissolve wheat flour in half cup of water such that there are no lumps.
    • Slowly pour wheat mixture into the gravy.

    Notes

    Serving Suggestions:
    Serve with Khameeri Roti or Naan. At time of serving, add chop fresh coriander, green chilies, Julienne cut ginger and fry onions.. and also lemon…. these things will improve the taste of nihari.

    Author Bushra Waheed

    Ingredients

    For Jalebi:

    • 1 cup Plain Flour
    • 2 teaspoon cornflour
    • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
    • 1 teaspoon oil
    • 1/8 teaspoon cardamom Powder
    • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
    • a pinch of orange food color
    • 3/4 cup Warm Water

    For Sugar Syrup:

    • 1-1/4 cups Sugar
    • 1 cup Water
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder
    • few strand of saffron

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, mix together the plain flour, cardamom powder, instant yeast and cornflour.
    • Add yogurt, oil, and Water to the dry ingredients.
    • Mix well until there are no lumps.
    • When done, cover the jalebi batter.
    • Place it in a warm place for 24 hours or overnight, till it is fermented (the batter will rise on fermentation).
    • Once the batter is fermented stir the batter in a cut and fold motion to combine it once again.

    To Make Sugar Syrup:

    • Take a saucepan, add Water, sugar and saffron. Cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.
    • Reduce flame to a low simmer and add Cardamom Powder and Lemon Juice.
    • Stir well.
    • When the sugar becomes thick and stringy of one string consistency.Turn off the heat and keep aside.

    To Make The Jalebi:

    • Preheat oil for frying the jalebi’s.
    • Mix the fermented jalebi batter well and put it in a ketchup or mustard bottle with a spout (zipper bag or piping bag can be used).
    • Squeeze out the batter into the hot oil in approximately 8 small circular motions.
    • Jalebi should about 2-3 inches in diameter.
    • Fry until the bottom side looks golden and flip once to cook the other side.
    • With tongs, remove jalebi, shake off excess oil and place directly into sugar syrup.
    • Allow jalebi to remain in the syrup for just a minute (flipping to coat both sides), shake off excess sugar syrup and place onto a plate. Jalebi is ready to serve. ENJOY!!

    Notes

    • The consistency of the batter should be thick and not watery, similar to the butter cream batter. You should be able to make a shape when piped in a piping bag.
    • Don’t over stir you want the air pockets in the batter to remain. This will help in the jalebi being crisp and also in turn help it absorb the sugar syrup.
    • The oil for frying should be medium hot. If it is too hot, the jalebis will end up burnt.
    • Also make sure you keep the heat on low when you pipe the jalebis into the oil, this will ensure you can see the circles you are piping and also the jalebis will rise up slowly.
    • You can store in an air-tight container. They will remain fresh for 4-5 days un refrigerated.
    • Serve as a dessert after any meal or as a tea time snack.
