SQUID ROAST

 So so long... Yes its been so long time since I logged into Blogger and posted a recipe , so much that I am in loss for words, as to what to tell you all the reason behind my missed posts... Well if you all wont be shocked, the reason was laziness.... All the free time I had was in the mornings, when hubby left for work. And in the last few months I enjoyed sleeping in the morning or having some time for myself laid back on the sofa with a hot cup of tea. This is only a matter of quarter or half an hour before which my kids would wake up and start the routine tantrums.
Now this time I am having squid roast recipe for you all, which is indeed very spicy.. This is for all who loves spicy food... I dint shoot too many pics of it from too many angles. Well in the coming recipes I ll try to give more attention to food photography as well....
Ingredients:
  • Squid- washed and cut into rings- 250 gms
  • Onion- sliced -1
  • Tomato- sliced 1
  • Ginger garlic paste- 1 tbsp.
  • Green chilly- 1
  • Curry leaves- a stem
  • Kashmiri chilly powder- 2 tsp
  • Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander powder- 1 tsp
  • Coconut oil- 1-2 tbsp.
Preparation:
Add all the ingredients except coconut oil in a wok, squish it nicely with your hand and cook covered on low flame without adding water. Let it cook itself... If the mixture appears too dry or looks like starting to burn before its been cooked, then add little water. Once the masalas have been absorbed into the squid rings and the squid gets cooked, add in the coconut oil to the sides of the wok and switch to medium flame. Sauté the squid till its nice and brown. Serve hot..

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
