MY TWO CENTS:

  • Adjust the sweetness to suit your taste buds.
  • This recipe makes around 2 medium sized dishes of Dahi Phulkiyan.
  • Make sure the Phulki batter rests for about half an hour before you start frying.
  • Keep stirring the Phulki while frying for uniform cooking and even colored Phulkis.
  • Fry the phulkis until they’re golden brown on medium heat. Don’t rush the process.
  • You can use milk instead of cream for yoghurt mixture.

Hope you’ll enjoy trying it out.

Happy Phulki-ingggg!

Parmesan Crumbed (Air) Fried Fish

We aren’t an avid fish eaters so whenever fish finds its way to our home along with the groceries, I try to make sure that it’s good enough to consume. Last week, I asked HI to bring some fish from the super market so that I can fix a quick dinner, he asked me which fish to bring and I told him “Any”. Like literally, I had nothing in my mind. Anyways, he brought Hoki and I was glad. I decided to air fry it not because had a healthy mean plan in mind but because I wanted to see how it’s done in it. Haha.

Authentic Karachi-Street Style Bun Kababs

The last time I had Bun Kabab from ‘thela‘ (mobile cart) was 2 years ago, we were on a brief trip to Karachi, I was 7 months pregnant with Jucy Yusi and despite of clear instructions from midwife to eat only healthy food, I went ahead with consuming it coz how can you not have bun kabab when you are in Karachi? (I had to face the consequence after wards in the form of diarrhea but that’s another story). So, this lockdown, I started craving for bun kababs and the only way I could have them here (whether it’s lockdown or no lockdown) is to make myself. There’s no way out! Once you start craving anything, you’re trapped. You are the only one who can get you out, else it will keep haunting you. The irony. Anyways, with the craving increasing day by day, I gave in and made it so that I can move ahead with life.

Shinwari Karahi – 6 ingredients stellar (heart) stealing dish

I’ve been meaning to share this recipe since ages now. The last time I tried taking pictures in the camera, it turned out that the memory card was absent and all the pictures I took were just a mirage (obviously HI was responsible for it, haha). I’ve been making this shinwari karahi a lot ever since I’ve tried the recipe ( it’s now a must item in my dinner and lunch parties) but we always end up eating it before i can take pictures for the blog. So, this time I made sure that the pictures are shot before the consumption because there are absolutely no leftovers from the karahi. Yes, it turns out that scrumptious! No joke

October is my Official-New-Cake recipe trial month. Analyzing the history of my cake recipe sharing trend, you guys must’ve gotten the idea by now.

But this year I was determined to try out something new, easy and of course, divine.
