Znoud El Sit

Image
Its almost to an end, the holy month. And I feel I haven't gained much this year. Nor have I cooked much. Reason being hectic schedule and in the end no energy. Alhamdulillah every year, somehow whenever I was pregnant or busy with kids for Ramadhan, I have been showered with Iftar snacks, by family or friends. This year Alhamdulillah I got regular parcels of Umma's goodness and I know she did all that to gain rewards you get while helping someone break fast, more than her love to her eldest daughter. That is what I love about her, she never fails to take maximum advantage of anything in front of her, to gain rewards. And that is the message every Ramadhan conveys, lots of giving, no matter even if it is half of a date. Znoud El Sit was prepared by me while I was craving for some kind Arabic dessert, during my fast in the weekend. That is what happens when you fast for 15+ hours and you fantasize about all your favorite things and vanishes immediately ...

Chicken Cutlets

Its Ramadhan and the schedule is hectic for me as I am into working too. But Alhamdulillah the less working hours in Ramadhan has helped a bit and no matter how tired I feel, I still feel the urge to blog and post all the snacks I make for Iftar. Chicken cutlet is one of the commonly made snacks at home and thus I never felt motivated to post such a common recipe. But I realized once again what seems common and normal for us is not always the same for others. At school I work, my colleagues and me were having casual chat about snacks and they were very keen to know how to make cutlet. As we belong to different parts of the country our food and tastes are pretty different. Chicken cutlets are easy to make and is wonderful tea time snack. I love how the spice in it goes well with hot tea. I also love its mushy inside and crunchy outside when fried and served immediately. My kids love it and was demanded by my 6 year old for breaking her fast during Iftar....
