TRIFLE PUDDING

trifle pudding made by me.
 Recently, I've been busy with cookery contest, that I put my blog starving without posting any recipes.... Now, I feel it  a great responsibility to feed my readers with more  great recipes after winning the 'excellent chef' title... I had no hope of winning the competition I lately attented, as it was loaded with really great participants with really great recipes.... I see it as just a blessing of God that I won. Thank u God. Fact that I won this  'Excellent Chef' title, But I think I have still got lots to learn, and that I'm better than no good....
4 years back when I was fleed to U.A.E from India, I had no clue about cooking. All I had was a book, and a book full of Umma's recipes. My Umma is my guru. From there started my cooking expedition... Also I cannot leave out mentioning the facebook page 'Friends cookys' where I started photographing my recipes and posting them. This page also played an influential role in my cooking experiments. I cannot leave out to mention my greatest thanks to God, without which I would've been nothing... Also my hubby had a major role, for his immense sacrifice to bear all the cooking equipments and come with me to support all the contests I had participated for, and for patiently looking after my troublesome kids while I was engaged in contest. Thank u hubby, You r my lucky charm. All the luck of my life came with you dear. And thanks to all my friends and relatives for supporting me. And thank you, my readers, you are my motivation in cooking. Thank you all....

Thinking about  blessed holy month of Ramadan already fills me with chills when people are so much around, mosques crowded, streets busy, everything seems so special. Especially being in an Islamic country like UAE, I enjoy the benefit of husband returning from work early, due to short working hours for all companies and then roads during night time is so lit up and busy, anybody can roam around safely no matter even if you are alone. Its definitely a month of devotion and religious commitment, which is only why you can still fast in full spirit no matter how long the fasting hours are and that too when summer is at its peak. Its a month when Quran was sent to our Messenger Muhammad S.A. and we give so much importance in spending our time in recitation of Quran and that is mostly how I spend my time of worship or Ibaadah apart from obligatory prayers during Ramadan. Ofcourse apart from religious commitment, we are supposed to cook for the Iftar (fast breaking time) but takin

Kunafa

Kunafa, i have not much words to describe this dessert. So addictively delicious is all i can say. Its a baked Arabic dessert with shredded Kunafa dough and cheese as filling, served warm with rose scented sugar syrup . Whenever I crave for one, I always beg my husband to get one from any of the local Arabic bakeries/restaurants, but it is only a limited portion i can enjoy as the price is too high for a small quantity. And with kids around, my cravings are never put to end. All i can do is sit back and drool over this heaven when my kids gobble it down. My 6 year old pouring that sugar syrup and mehndi on her hands were done by me for Eid This time i decided to give it a try, after drooling over a plethora of images and recipes on internet. Also after having one from one of the Arabic restaurants, and the deliciousness it had (OMG!! It was such a heaven, served straight from the oven, my husband and i couldn't wait it to cool down, we had the entire thing all by ourselv

LAZEEZ MURGH TIKKA MASALA

I have been very lazy in experimenting main course meals lately. In earlier days of marriage I used to try every single way to impress my husband and cook for him. A once experimented dish hardly was repeated especially during dinners and I used to keep experimenting new ones. As kids came into our lives, my schedule gradually got hectic and so the time I spent to cook. Usually these days when I decide chicken for our menu, I cook up regular easy version of chicken curry and do not take the trouble to browse through Internets. After a long while I felt the urge to cook something different and I happened to stumble over this recipe of Sanjeev Kapoor's. I tried it the same day and it turned out to be delicious with all the richness and spice loaded cream based thick gravy. It is perfect to go with rotis and obviously rice was not the perfect combo, as I made rice as I was in short of time to prepare roti before hubby arrived.  I felt the khoya in this recipe added richness t
