Pasta, for me, is the ultimate comfort food. I love anything to do with pasta or macaroni, as they are my go-to on my lazy days. Today i am sharing a super easy Keema Macaroni recipe for busy weeknight Meals. One dish I make quite frequently when I have some mince is this one. Nice and simple, full of flavors.

This ain’t your ordinary pasta. With flavors bursting out from every corner, this one is delicious! To make it more unique and give a distinct flavor, I have used my ever favorite Italian Pasta Sauce.

You can use any macaroni for this recipe, but I totally recommend trying elbow or something that can help hold all of those tiny pieces of mince. I used my favorite whole wheat pasta. Cook it al dente according to package instructions.
While the pasta is cooking, saute up an onion and mince until cooked. Then add in some garlic, herb seasoning and pasta sauce. And once the pasta is cooked, drain and add it to the saute pan. I would add a dollop cheese or mayonnaise to make it more moist and gulp it down!
Isn’t that to easy?? Easy enough even for a weekday night? Of Course Yes!!

This is a really delicious pasta dish and the taste of the basil really comes through beautifully. The minced meat balances out the starch of the macaroni really well. A perfect dance of herb and spice ensues in your mouth…That you have to experience!
As you can see, the recipe is just as good and vibrant and delicious as ever. 🙂

Some Tips for the Perfectly Cooked Keema Macaroni:
Never cook your macaroni in boiling hot water, it destroys the outer layer of the macaroni however you may not realize it. So, always throw in your macaroni or whatsoever in simmering water, a stage before boiling for best results.
Always add a reasonable amount of salt to water, in which you will be cooking your macaroni.
Once your macaroni has been boiled, strain it, take it out of the hot water and quickly rinse them in cold or regular tap water and the set aside. This stops the macaroni from further cooking, which results in soggy, dull and bland macaroni.
Once you throw macaroni into your dish, let it cook and absorb the wonderful flavours of the dish, by letting it sit in the pan for 2-3 minutes with the lid closed and on slowest flame. Macaroni is bland, has no particular flavour so this step is very critical as well as rewarding.

Recipe Note’s:
You can use any pasta of choice , i like the taste of brown rice pasta compared to others.
You can add veggies e.g. carrots, capsicum, green peas if you like. Everything in this recipe is optional. Go as you please. Play with flavours.
If you make this recipe, be sure to snap a photo and hashtag it #Recipestable. I’d love to see what you cook!

Bitter gourd, aka Karela In Urdu, is relished for its benefits and despised for its bitter taste – not many people like this veggie, but I die for it.
Benefits of Bitter Gourd (Karela)
Here are some Benefits of Mr. Bitter Gourd (Aka karela)
Bitter gourds have many nutritional and health benefits and one of them is they are good for diabetes. It is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, and B3, C, magnesium, folate, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, and has high dietary fiber. It is rich in iron, contains twice the beta-carotene of broccoli, twice the calcium of spinach, and twice the potassium of a banana.
As my Chronic illness forces me to transform eating habits, I’ m always on the hunt for natural antioxidants ingredients and Bitter Gourd (Karela) is one of them. I try to eat bitter gourd at least twice in a month because of its antioxidant benefits. It is very good for you, specially if you are diabetic. This reduces your blood sugar level a lot than you can imagine..So try to include it in your everyday diet.
Bitter Gourd aka ‘Karela’
The people who have never had bitter gourd, I still know what you all must be thinking.
Doesn’t it taste bitter??
How can one eat it??
Actually it is very much edible and likable. Truth is that there are numerous ways in which Bitter gourd is prepared in Pakistan. It can be stuffed with tasty spice mix, it tastes delicious when deep fried with mince stuffing( Bharwan Karela ), it can be used to make a dry curry and my mommy makes amazing curry of bitter gourd (Karela Gosht) which doesn’t taste bitter at all. It just depends how it is prepared. So at times it depends on which ingredients and technique you use and also on individual preferences.
Karela Gosht (Meat with Bitter Gourd)
Karela Gosht (Bitter gourd cooked with meat) is a traditional Pakistani dish.Yet, there are many Pakistani’s who flee from the very name of Karela. 😛
Today, I am presenting one of the tried recipes that gained appreciation among random people. Signature style of using minimum ingredients to make a mouth-watering dish is again used. I am using mutton meat in this recipe, but if you like you can use beef or chicken too.

In my home, everyone loves bitter gourd and its diverse dishes. It tastes savory, tangy, wonderfully spicy and slightly bitter at the same time. Karela Gosht is my all time favourite. As I mention above, I make them quite often and each time they turn out great.(Alhumdulillah)!

Hot and Spicy Kebab Paratha Rolls recipe
It’s the age of one pot meal and who says one pot meal has to be a rice dish. It can be bread based dish as well.

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).

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.

So, I decided to make Fish and Chips, and they turned out awesome! This English-Style Fish and Chips is gloriously indulgent.

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.

Shawarma is eaten in Arab countries, Pakistan, South Africa and the United Kingdom, and the meats, toppings and sauce vary depending on the country. Traditionally, Shawarma is made with chicken, lamb, beef, or goat that has been marinated, and is wrapped and cooked on a vertical rotisserie (similar to Greek gyro meat). When an order is placed, meat is shaved off and served as a wrapped sandwich (using pita bread) with fresh pickles and sauce.

Chicken Shawarma Wraps
So today, I’m going to share this awesome Chicken Shawarma Wraps recipe with my fans. This dish is not hard to make, it just requires a little bit of planning ahead. Well worth the effort!
Photo: Chicken Shawarma Wraps Recipe
This Chicken Shawarma Wraps recipe is bursting with middle eastern flavors. Simple to make. Think of your favorite gyro place where they are slicing meats from a spit, and placing it inside of warm pita or flat-bread, along with sauces and vegetables. That’s shawarma, and this is my take on it. Did I mention my entire family was totally in love with this??
Photo: Chicken Shawarma Wraps Recipe
It is really difficult to recreate the taste of shawarma at home, but this recipe I think, does it justice. The key is to leave the chicken marinading overnight for maximum flavour, and to have the grill smoking hot when cooking. And I made the Shawarma Pickles two days before and made a batch of sour cream as well as hummus sauce.

Sorry I din’t get step by step picture as I was in a bit hurry to assemble the wraps. But I will try to upload step by step pictures later. InshaAllah !!
Let’s get started !
Check it out the Chicken Shawarma Wraps Recipe and printable version below!!
Important Tips:
Try not to pile the pitas on top of each other until after they have cooled. This keeps them nice and plump for filling.
To store pita breads, you can wrap them in cling film and freeze for up to 3 weeks.
For the filling you can use any mixture of your choice with salad, just slit the pitas and stuff them with your favorite ingredients.
You can also make pita breads on a frying pan or hot griddle or even it a bread-maker.
