FEBI'S COOK BOOK

 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...

 I am sure, once you are back to home from the hot scorching heat outdoor, you would soon bounce back to coolness if you have a cold watermelon drink... Its so cool, so refreshing and so relaxing. Watermelon aqua fresca is such a soothing drink, with a slight lemon punch. You'll never ever have such a refreshing and energizing drink. Ingredients: water melon- 2 cups mint leaves- 6 leaves sugar- depending on the sweetness of the melon lemon juice- 2 tbsp. ice cubes Preparation: Blend all the ingredients together and strain.  Serve chilled.

Do you love something jhatpata? Well I am an Indian and I definitely do... I was bored of regular fruit consumption or transforming it into a fruit salad. And last week when I lacked side dishes for lunch for my hubby, for a rice hater like him, inorder to push rice down into his throat, I always had to assemble a whole lot of side dishes not to remind him that he is consuming rice,  so instead  of just chopping down some fruits, I added a TWIST.     As I mentioned, I was bored of just chopping fruits and consuming as it is. And my hubby loves adding chilli and salt to almost all fruits. So I pulled out everything available in fridge, to add extra fancy to my lunch. All I did was chopped available fruits, cucumber, added lime juice and seasoned with chilli powder and salt. Simple and yummy to gear up your lunch. And I was amazed to see my hubby gulping big spoonfuls of it. What better wordless compliment can you rece...

  If you ask me what is fruit yogo, my answer would be, "Its just yoghurt with fruits". simple, right. Well I normally buy this for my kids from the store whenever we go for grocery shopping and they just love it. After shifting to U.A.E. I came to know that you can actually consume the yoghurt as it is, straight from the packet, that's how emiratis here are. Once while I was in  the clinic to get my baby his routine vaccination, I saw a lady opening up  a store bought cup of yoghurt and fed it straightly to her infant child. It made me feel weird, but then I thought why not?. After all its not the kind of very sour yoghurt that we get at our home land, its just so rich and creamy. Recently I discovered this version of yoghurt being served with fruits and is actually available in the store. I normally like Strawberries so I always go for it if I was given an option. Other berries also tatses great with yoghurt. There other flavors too available in the store like O...

Are you looking for something to pack of to your loved ones? Well this is one of the best options for edible gifts for someone close to your heart.. Easy to make and ready to serve in no time...  Ingredients: Pakistani vermicelli- 2 packets condensed milk- 1 tin butter- 1/3 stick For garnishing: dark chocolate- 1/2 cup butter- 25 gms chopped nuts Note: I used only 1/4th of the quantity as mentioned above except for the garnishing part as too less of chocolate melting doesn't work properly. Preparation. Heat butter in a non stick pan on low medium heat and add broken vermicellis and fry till light brown. Off the flame and add condensed milk and mix well until well combined. Grease a square tin (or you can use any favorite mold of yours) and spread the vermicelli evenly. Let cool till it becomes hard. Cut into 1x 1" rectangle shapes. For chocolate garnishing: Add chocolate chips or dark chocolate bars into a dry non stick pan and add butter. Put the pan on...

The very thought of mozzarella and olives laid beautifully on top of pizzas make me drool. After all there is something fascinating about the elastic cheese that just knows to melt and highlight the tastes of the vegetables over the pizza. I initially used to use only normal tomato sauce over pizza whenever I make one at home. The relative sweetness of the sauce brought a dislike in me towards Pizza. I then discovered to bring out the flavors of pizzas it has to have oreganos and needs some spice for the Indian in me.  Last time when I decided to make Pizza, I cooked everything that has to be topped on a Pizza, as I don't like any raw tastes. I cooked the pizza sauce on stove, the vegetables and fried the chicken required for topping. I totally loved it and I couldn't believe when my hubby and mum-in-law finished one whole  large pizza, for some one who are not the kind of pizza loving people. For now, I am just posting the recipe of pizza sauce alone. This can be m...

\ What more is lovable to Indians more than Lassi. And specially if its of Mango, then the Indian inside you comes out.  Lassi is an Indian flavoured yoghurt, originally from Punjab, and usually spiced with cumin or other spices and mixed with fruits or lime juice. Some of the Lassi's also use rosewater. There are many types of Lassi- traditional, sweet lassi and so on... Traditional Lassi however is savory drink with yoghurt, water, salt and ground cumin blended together. While sweet lassi uses fruits instead of spices... Lately, my hubby and me have been trying with the Mango Lassi often at home, now for me its something I always want to have a go at. Its a refreshment to beat the heat. I love mangoes but yoghurts are something I keep aloof from, as  I don't much like its taste. But last Ramdan when my hubby prepared mango Lassi for me after dinner, I dint know that you can give yoghurt such a beautiful version. ...
