FEBI'S COOK BOOK

Alhamdulillah for the holy month of Ramadan has come and I am glad it is here... This fasting month we have our daily routines completely changed compared to the remaining part of the year.. We wake up early for suhoor (predawn meal) to have something lightly enough to give us energy for the long fasting hours. And being in Middle East, waking up for Suhoor means waking as early as 3.30 am... After Suhoor, we wait for Fajr Adhan (call for morning prayer) and then we perform our Prayers and after that I spend time in recitation of Qur'an till sunrise. After that I take a short nap and wake up to do other house work like cleaning, preparing food for kids etc. etc. Since time flies as we engage in so much praying and performing other Ibadah, I strictly reserve a specified time for housework and prayer and strictly see that I perform it in time . And thus I think I have a much more disciplined schedule in Ramadan than other months. Its already 1...

Hurray! Accidently noticed the sudden hike in no. of hits... It has crossed 23K+ without being much active in blogging... I guess I have been decent with the limited no. of posts I've done and hence the result... Anyway I heartily thank you for the encouragement you people have given me and hence I think I should be regular with my posts somehow accomodatng some time for blogging out of my tight daily routine... This post have been unnecessarily put on pending posts among the other few... I should have easily posted this as this contains limited ingredients but delicious result... I must say that I am too lazy too nowadays... Stepping onto today's post, It is a wonderful tasting milkshake, Oreo milkshake. Both adults and kids will enjoy it equally... Ingredients: oreo biscuits -2 milk- 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream- 1 big scoop Preparation:  Blend all the ingredients in a blender and serve chilled.

Hello readers, first of  all let me apologise for not being regular with my posts. But I must say I've been so much missing blogging... Everyday I strictly say to myself to keep some time aside for blogging which is my passion but could no way find time for it... Of course some how I manage to cook and take pictures of it, but could no way find some time to post the recipes... Life is so busy nowadays, especially after my new baby came and I am happy that I am busy and I find it as a blessing, though I feel sad at times when I don't have time for blogging and sometimes for myself... This is one of the posts I' ve been preparing since days, but couldn't make it to the site due to my tight schedule... Every time I open my laptop, my kids create some sort of problem and then finally end up closing my laptop without even shutting down.. Today on post is a very famous North Indian dish, Murgh  Makhani or Butter Chicken. There are so many varieties of Butter chicken...

 Cakes always have been the most experimented things in my kitchen for two reasons: One reason is I love cakes, while second reason is I love baking... Though nowadays I lost my love for taste of cakes, I still enjoy baking and making them eat by my friends and family. Cakes I think is the most versatile of all desserts... You can have them plain or with frosting, frosting also you can try different varieties, you can decorate them with chocolate laces etc. Almost all cakes follow same instructions with a set of ingredients and you are ready to go. This time I made this cake which was very simple to make and it came out extremely soft and fluffy. My daughter loved this cake so much that she didn't leave a single piece and had most of it by herself. Ingredients: All purpose flour-2 1/4 cup Baking powder- 4 1/2 tsp Egg 3 Powdered sugar- 1 1/2 cups milk- 3/4 cup Butter- 250 gm Cocoa Powder- 2 tbsp Vanilla essence- 1 tsp Strawberry puree- 2 tbsp Pink food coloring...

 Recently, my hubby and me have been into totally different diet, apart from the normal ones. Upmas were something that has never been in our menus. Its one of the 100 items my hubby doesn't like much to eat.. Well all he loves is biryani. Now that I decided to completely avoid his food interest and make him eat whatever I cook, I decided to cook different from what I usually cook. Upmas are easiest thing to cook for breakfast. All I wanted was some more color and slight difference from normal upmas. Adding of carrot and beans turned it really delicious and believe me, my hubby happily consumed a bowl full to my surprise...  It was yum yum... Give it a try friends... Ingredients: Roasted semolina- 1 cup Boiling water- 2 cups Onion chopped- 1 medium Carrot chopped- 1/2 cup Beans diced- 1/2 cup Green chilly- 3 Ginger - 1 small piece chopped Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp Fenugreek seeds- 6 Urad dal/ black split beans - 1/2 tsp Dried red chilli- 3 Curry leaves- 1...

Hey friends, How are you all? Its been long I ve been into this blog and now I started missing blogging and blogger friends. Actually I was suffering from some kind of laziness and was least interested in blogging... But I never failed to cook and taking pictures.

 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....
