    Let’s Start Today’s Post with some Food for the Soul  

    “Expectation is the root of all heartache”.  _William Shakespeare

    quote

    I guess I need not say much about the quote I am sharing with all of you today. I am a person of high expectations – despite trying to develop myself into a better person and having reduced my level of expectation from all around me, I have not reached the level where I would have zero expectation.

    I guess it is not human to reach that kind of a stage, but still I would love to reach a stage where my expectations are so low that it does not guarantee any heartbreaks if things don’t happen just like how I want it to be. I really don’t know whether I will ever reach that situation but yes, I am trying…

    It’s Getting Cold . Now Let’s Have Some Food Talk To Warm & Nourish Our Soul!!

    I’m sure you’ve all heard of or made Pizza Cupcakes or  Pizza Muffins before. But as simple or obvious as this recipe seems, sometimes we need a good reminder of the un-fussy classics. Sometimes you don’t have time or the right ingredients to make an elaborate meal. When this happens, it’s good to have something simple and inexpensive to fall back on.

    If you’re crazy about pizza like me, but can’t justify eating it as much as you’d like, this is a great recipe for you. I used leftover pizza dough, chicken, lots of fresh vegetables, and a tablespoon or so of cheese on each mini pizza. Considering each pizza cup base 60 calories, the shredded chicken & cheese about 40 calories, and the rest of the ingredients were vegetables, I’m guessing each pizza had about 150 calories. This is not scientific, but it’s my best guess.

    Give pizza night a new twist by making spicy Chapli Kebab Pizza (Heavenly Double TREAT)!!

    Chapli Kebab Pizza

    This pizza is so easy to make with left over Chapli Kebab’s with the cheesy topping….nobody could resist. I added dried Italian herbs to the pizza base and that gave a subtle Italian flavor with the Pakistani flavored topping. And just followed my heart to a logical conclusion. I took the shortcut and used the Chili Garlic sauce in place of pizza sauce and lessen cheese to keep it healthy and low fat( you can add more cheese). Well… I needn’t explain what the result was. The recipe finding its place in this blog itself says it all….. Right???

    The recipe I am sharing today is a Family FAVORITE. All families have certain dishes they love to cook and eat. Mine goes gaga for these baby Chicken Breads!

(unless they are gluten intolerant. Oops)

    I thought, I would share this FAMILY FAVORITE with everyone since so many Friends nd ClassFellows have asked for this recipe. Enjoy!

    Baby Chicken Bread

    Chicken bread is a classic of Pakistani bakeries and we served it at most of the tea parties as a staple here. This simple yet delicious bread is easy to make and full of flavor.

    All you really need is a few basic ingredients: salt, flour, baking soda and yeast etc. The “trick” to achieving a perfect texture is not to over knead the dough and don’t over bake, as this will make it tough & hard, ugh not good! Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds. And voila! It’s ready to go in the oven for 25 minutes.

    On weekend night, I decided to bake chicken bread from scratch and Just for a twist I made  them in baby sizes.

    Don’t ask me why I do these things. I’m not quite sure myself.

    But you have to admit….they’re pretty darn cute.

Becomes as good as new!

    The best thing about it is, that its a wholesome meal and can be prepared with leftover kebab’s too. Its as simple as assembling it all together (if that makes sense).

    Summer has been kicking into high gear and the temperatures have been climbing here, and everyone wants to keep cool on hot summer days. So today, I have a recipe for a simple, classic and very popular sandwiches: “Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches”.

    Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches

    Egg and Cucumber sandwiches are the most delicious, easiest finger foods to make. All you need is sliced white bread, boiled eggs, mayonnaise and of course, cucumbers. To enhance the flavor, I also spread a thin layer of dill with cream cheese spread.

    Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches recipe

    I love adding cucumbers to egg mayonnaise. And sometimes different herbs too (especially dill goes very well with eggs and cucumbers). The cucumber can either be chopped finely and mixed into the egg mayonnaise or sliced thinly , I like the latter since it adds a nice fresh crunch to the sandwich. This can be made in advance and keeps well, so is perfect for tea parties.

They’re deliciously light and fresh, and I love the crunch of the cucumber. These delicious, easy-to-assemble sandwiches are great for a quick summer meal.

    Bismillah let’s get started.

    Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches Recipe

    Egg and Cucumber sandwiches are the most delicious, easiest finger foods to make. All you need is sliced white bread, boiled eggs, mayonnaise and of course, cucumbers. To enhance the flavor, I also spread a thin layer of dill with cream cheese spread.

    For Egg Salad

    • 3 hard boiled eggs
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (mayo with olive oil is my favorite)
    • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
    • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
    • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
    • salt to taste

    For Sandwiches

    • 3 tablespoon cream cheese spread
    • 1 large cucumber (peeled and thinly sliced)
    • 12 sliced white sandwich bread

    Method

    1. In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs and mayonnaise until completely incorporated.
    2. Add garlic powder, salt, pepper and chopped dill. Mix until well combined.
    3. Set aside.
    4. Toss bread slices on both sides.
    5. Spread egg spread mixture on 4 bread slices.
    6. Cover with another four bread slices.
    7. Top with cheese spread and cucumber strips, then close sandwiches with remaining bread slices.
    8. Cut crusts from bread, forming finger sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into three, creating 3 rectangle mini-sandwiches each. Enjoy!

    Serving Suggestions:
    Serve with tea or you can enjoy with finger chips and chili garlic sauce.

    When you’re home alone and nobody has made dinner, what do you usually make for yourself to eat? To me dining alone, at home means you can really break all the rules.  You Make Fish and Chips And go a bit overboard and make pasta salad. Cooking is my therapy and my cure all. Whipping up ingredients, the aroma of food, that first bite, the feeling that it has all come together just right is a balm like no other.

    Mince Stuffed Cutlets 

    When I was in college, these “Mince Stuffed Cutlets” was one of the first recipes I ever added to my regular rotation.

    Mince Stuffed Cutlets is a great appetizer that involves soft delicate potato patties stuffed with seasoned cooked mince. Delicious and crispy patties that can be made in just 35 minutes. These make a great snack or appetizer or even a starter for parties or perfect for weekend meals.

    I used to fill my cutlets with spinach, broccoli, cheese, or whatever ingredients I have in my hand. It’s so fun to experiment with different ingredients, home cooking should be easy and fun! Although I enjoyed a lot of combinations, mince stuffed cutlets was always my favorite (and cheese, too).

    I know it seems quite far apart but when you take a bite it taste very close to the potato chops.

    There are many variations I have seen online. Some use a little flour mixed with the potato mash, an egg wash, bread crumbs and cornflour. You can make it vegetarian by using cooked peas and carrots in garam masala with some onions and fresh coriander then mixed with the mashed potato and shallow fried. You can replace the lamb mince with cooked ground chicken or beef, or fish. Try getting more creative: This is great fun – keep adding different ingredients to taste the different flavors.

    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

    I hope you’re well and have had a good start to the week.   I’m sorry to let you worry about me, but these days I’m a bit busy.  As you know study study study. lol 😀 I am madly busy with my assignments. Sorry for this post being late.

    My class got cancelled today. Glad I get a chance to breathe. So I decide to write a post for my lovely reader’s. Last week, I made these Veggie rolls ( Baked Version) to give myself a break from ‎assignment work. They are very easy to prepare and tastes absolutely delicious! I had too much fun making this. 

    baked veggie rolls
    Take a Break and bake Some Veggie Rolls 🙂

    These yummlicious veggie rolls are healthy and very filling. And they smell amazing when they’re baking. They crisped up fine in the oven. The only problem is that three wrappers have 180 calories! What!???? That’s a lot. I ate 3 rolls anyway. 😛 😉 They are ready in only 35 minutes and you can use your favorite veggies.

    Baked Veggie Rolls Recipe

    You could fry these, too, but I was trying to keep them healthy. I hope you all give this Baked Veggie Rolls recipe a try and let me know how they turn out!

    Baked Veggie Rolls 

    So let the fun begin!

    1. First Prepare Veggie Filling: Heat a small amount of oil in a wok over medium heat. Add giner and garlic. Saute until fragrant. Might you think, it’s a stupid instruction, isn’t it? Tell you what, just cook your garlic few seconds until they’re soft-ish.
    2. Now add green peas, red beans and corns. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are soft.Add remaining veggies and add a splash of vingear. Stir fry for few minutes. You can add soy sauce or any store bought sauce etc. But I didn’t add it. As I try to avoid artifical ingredients to follow my journey towards clean eating. 🙂
      Sprinkle black pepper, red chili, and maybe a little salt if you need it. If you want to use fresh herbs then I think that would be lovely.
    3. Stir well and Let everything simmer for a couple of minutes, but don’t let everything get overly soft because you still have to stuff and bake your rolls.
    4. Take the mixture into a bowl and let it cool for few minutes. Once everything is cool, you can either proceed to stuffing the rolls, or cover your bowl and put everything in the fridge overnight. If you do refrigerate the veggie mixture, be sure to bring it room temperature before stuffing your rolls.
    5. When you’re ready to stuff your rolls, be sure your stuffing mixture and wrappers are at room temperature. You’ll want a clean work surface for this part and a bowl of water nearby.
    6. Don’t be intimidated by this part. You just want the rolls to hold the yummy stuffing in. They don’t need to be perfect. And, frankly, if someone is going to judge you on how pretty your spring rolls are, then you probably shouldn’t be feeding them. lol 😛
    7. Preheat an oven for 200 degree C and brush a baking sheet with oil.
    8. Place a wrapper out in a diamond shape on your work surface.Put a tablespoons of filling in the center of the wrapper. I under-stuffed these rolls, so they turned out chewier that I would have liked. However, you don’t want to stuff them so full that they split open. It’s a delicate balance.
    9. Bring the bottom point of your wrapper up over the filling and tuck it under as tight as you can. Fold the sides over and shape into a roll.
    10. Moisten the edges of the top flap slightly with water and roll the roll over, pressing the point on the underside of the roll to seal it.
    11. Put on a lightly oiled baking sheet and repeat this method the rest of your rolls.
    12. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with egg-wash and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.
    13. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. This took my oven around 22-25 minutes.
    14. You can eat these veggie rolls with tamari or soy sauce, but we prefer sweet and sour sauce.
      Ready !!

    I have always been fascinated by Scotch eggs. I think they bring a little “wow” factor to any table. Scotch eggs are traditionally made with sausage meat wrapped around a hard boiled egg then breaded and deep fried. I wanted to shake up this UK savory treat with some Asian spices and do my own take on it. I decided instead of using a raw sausage meat, I would make a potato filling to wrap around the egg then bread it and deep fry it. I loved how these came out and they go perfectly with zeera rice and curry meal.

    They also go well with a salad, bread, naan, etc… I think these beautiful eggs dress up any Asian or European table. If you are little worried about the size of the larger scotch eggs, I did make make a smaller version of this fun dish. I think the smaller version is actually a little more manageable to make and serve, although it doesn’t have the show-stopper look as the whole egg version when you cut them. Of course, both are equally tasty and fun and you will love to see them once they sit prettily on your table.  Do try it, your kids will love it. Perfect for lunch box. 

    Note: Make sure you cut the larger scotch eggs in half or quarters before serving so the guests can see the inside because that’s the “wow” factor to the dish. Enjoy.
