    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???

    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.

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

    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).

    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.

    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.

    Hope, you are doing splendidly and enjoying the season. Well I’m in the middle of work, and anxiety has begun to sink its sharp little claws into my brain. It’s almost the final month of my training and I’m already drowning under a sea of coding assignments and project.

    Ahhh I love to code even though it makes me want to tear my eyes out every 10 minutes. Crying Out Loud ;(  I have constant fears that I’ve forgotten the code, functions, or left something somewhere blah blah blah. Problem is I love it but I have too much code to write though… ugh. This assignment is really doing my nut in! 

    code

    I’ m carving chocolate soo bad while coding up my project and backing up files. Every time I write a code, I delete it again. Almost time for a pancake break 😛  Anyhow before going back to coding, I decided to update you guys with this short post. 

    If there’s one thing you should know about me right up front it’s that I love Chocolate and pancakes, always have. Chocolate chips, Pancakes, foggy weather and coding are the reasons I love life.  Sounds super yummy! 

    chocolate-chips
    Pancakes are probably in my Top 10 favorite foods. But they need chocolate chips. 🙂

    Time for a Chocolate Chip Pancakes Break.

    No matter how difficult  life gets, just remember, there’s always time for a Pancakes break. 😀 These Chocolate Chip Pancakes have been a blessing while trying to write my final coding project. lol. They simple to make, so comforting, and lightened up with a few delicious tweaks.

    It was love at first bite, I’m telling you. The texture is fluffy but hearty and slightly dense, and plenty moist from the butter. They’re perfectly sweet even without any additional sugar – the chocolate chips provide a touch of decadence.

    Tips For Diet Version Pancakes (Clean Eating):

    2. For Sweeting: Add 1 Tablespoons of honey, apple syrup, or nectar is optional for extra sweetening, but I didn’t find it necessary.
    3. Don’t add butter. Mash very ripe banana with baking powder. It gives
    4. them a moist and fluffy texture.
    5. Serve plain or with a small drizzle of honey and a few additional chocolate chips for melting.

    Put your own spin on it. And lemme know how it turns out. Post a photo on Facebook (Recipestable) or  on Twitter so I can see how lovely yours turn out.

    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

    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!

    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??

    Chicken Shawarma Wraps Recipe
    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 !!

    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 !!

    The weekend was full of foodie experiences. A few days ago, I decided to do a tea party with a my childhood friend and her child’s and made these as one of the finger foods. They were a HUGE hit with her little girls. They are just so dainty and are perfect for little tea parties (or family gathering, birthdays, .. etc..) plus, they are SUPER easy to make.

    The secret of this recipe is fresh herbs. You can make a variety of sandwiches as well, using egg salad, chicken salad, or tuna as layers– just make sure you chop or process the ingredients up enough so it spreads easily.

    Note: These can be served immediately but in my opinion they taste best when refrigerated at least 2 hours– they will easily keep if made a day ahead of time.
