Recipe: is so simple.

1. Boil the pasta of your choice.

1. Fry onions nicely diced in 3 tbspoons of oil. After they start turning golden, add ginger garlic paste (I had a lot I love it ), and then after few seconds chopped tomatoes (about 1 cup). Let it get sauted for two mins. Now add the minced meat (about 1-1/2 cup) to it. And on high flame stir it well. Now add salt, red chilly powder, white cumin seeds (zeera) and freshly ground black pepper. After it starts getting goldenish/brownish. Let it simmer down on very slow flame. After about 15-20 minutes, give it a final stirring (also see in the meanwhile lest it gets all burned )

3. Now in a frying pan in 2 tbsp oil, saute’ diced bell pepper/capsicum of assorted colors in it. meanwhile add some soy sauce, chilli sauce and saute it well. Then add onions diced and sliced in cubes, add lots of black pepper. Then some spring onions, some beans, some carrots (shredded). Fry it all on high flame. After that add the minced meat to it.

ps: I need to reply to so many comments. Will get back to it soon and gradually.

Tell me Why…

All in a Day’s work.

… in the Line of Making Paratha (پراٹھا)

That’s what my weekend mornings are buzzed with. Some Desi Ghee, Flour kneaded with Kalonji in it and a yummy paratha.

Desi Delights.

I’m loving to cook … day-by-day.

Ahh but I’m still a fan when others make scrumptious parathas

…. when everything fails.

I call him. He can make perfect gol walay parathay

I just prepare rest of breakfast in the BG. Mind you it doesn’t happen everyday.

And that’s how it look like usually

ps: had to blog it here .. I feel starved at the moment … oh and no desi ghee for me back on Seeded Breads … Love ‘em   Off to some healthy lunch.

pps: I love writings tags in flickr

Bon Appetite!

Inshah Allah.

I was so craving for it for last few days … Ahhh.

yup another dawat at my place … the hardest thing in a dawat is to think what to cook. Specially when its a novice like me in front of the stove.

BTW, I’m anticipating a HUGE mouthful bite of Strawberry Cheesecake too ..

Sine you may be knowing i’m a die-hard fan of cheesecakes …:D

In case you are wondering lately I’m getting fun out of cooking

Anyone wants some?

ps: All the best Pakis for T20…. *Thumbs Up* *Prayers Ready for You*

Who says cooking is difficult? I think our older generation make it sound like some rocket science always … a month or so into regular cooking and WOAH you start making real good stuff =)

*Proudly Nods*  

Just to keep a receipt .. I shoot what I cook

Some yummy Qeema Bharri Shimla Mirchein (Minced Meat stuffed Capsicums) are being steamed above … and He thinks I made this real yum.

So here’s some peak-through into my cooking

That’s Haleem .. FYI that I didn’t cooked

But will make in a day or two Inshah Allah

Couldn’t take the picture of Dum Kabab that I made yesterday .. and the pineapple and strawberry delights too =( Next time Inshah Allah…

And the guests who came yesterday … they probably thought I’ve had the karahi … and kababs bought from some restaurant .. ROFL … I’m so proud of myself.

And that’s the sushi I ate couple of weeks back

ps: go through  tags of this picture to know more about my bragging

pps: Hops off for another dawat at my place … Yipppy.

Adieu with picturesque post …

Sehri was an extravagant thing since bachpan … you know that feeling … waking up in the middle of night for anda paratha and chai. I was a chai addict since my bachpan I was always the last one to wake up. Ami would call from kitchen, then abu will come in the mid of stairs and would call me. And then those final calls when ami or abu would say Accha rauza nahi rakhna naa phir. Ooooh that used to do the magic and I’d jump out from the bed. Azaans used to start and I’d start gulping . I always start eating for sehri when I hear the sounds of Azaan .. somehow … before that I feel like its too early :$ It used to be quite fun with all of us together and those heavenly sehris. Lol, I take at least 10 minutes to make a paratha … once two -three years back, my bro was home in Ramadhan. God bless him, due to my show and steadiness, he took the paratha from my hand and made it himself … I pushed him to make one for me too =D Nowadays, due to the sudden dieting awareness program … I’m enjoying boiled egg and porridge bowl … Man, porridge;s so recommended. I always loved porridge but now I’m loving it a bit more So filling and so tasty. ANd you get to drink milk too, issi bahanay.

Ahh, and the aftaars. In our family, fruit chat and chai …. we cant survive without these two things for aftar. necessary … must do items. previously, I’d make either pakoray (that everyone in general and ami specifically would say asma makes the best =D ) or some fried stuff like toasts with potatoe fillings. Nowadays, Im refraining from all those pakora-istic urges and sticking to full bowl of fruit chat … and then cuppa chai. I’d eat so many fruits that skipping the meal is not a problem either. Yups, I’m acting desperate. But then it gives you some leverage. you can occasionally indulge in some yummynesses like pakoray and samosay. Its my sweetheart bro’s bday today and I’m going to celebrate it with his fave pakoras – yayy =) It was ami’s bday on 6th and I made chick karahi and pulao … yayy =) Lol. I should end before I be declared officially crazy.

So, coming to you people, what do you prepare or have for sehris and aftars? Do you make yourself or lethargy kicks in? Are you living alone or with family ~ with family things are so different What you can’t resist if it be on table for sehri and aftar? And what’s the most essential item?

It has become kind of a tag. So pour in

ps: I did this post because of one so obvious reason. Shadeed rauza lag raha hay and its almost 5.5 hrs to go. I’ll be breaking the tradition of this ramadhan and will make noodles and qeema in some saucy mixture today. recipe I’ll generate at run-time =D ooooooh.

It was yummylicious … a bit different from the way I cook chicken. But very yummy indeed. I don’t indulge in Garam Masala (mixture of spices) during cooking. For this I put in some … and a dash of Kasoori Methi too.  The taste was heavenly. Though my dada, being the oh-so-good cook, was like agar yah karleti tu bahtar tha. Haaa. Dads.

I was happy with the outcome BTW =D

For you a brief recipe overview’s given at Maryam’s blog.

Thoroughly enjoyed the hyderabadi tastes =))

So try it out … you better do !!!

I’m Hungry AGAIN.

Shucks. I should be dieting.
