Nauratan Chicken. I developed this recipe beforeee I got married and I posted a different version of this last year on my feed. 🙈 and a couple of you cuties have been asking me to post the recipe. Well a....I posted it before this year ends 😂😂😂 🙈 ....thats count for something no??? .
.but sincerely sorry for the delay. It totally skipped my mind. For those of you who are seeing it for the very first time (basically almost all 🙈)...this is one of our family faaaaaaavorite recipes. .
.theek thaak wala spicy. And what I love about it, is that goes well with pulao, roti, paratha, naan boiled rice or just toasted bread 😍. .
.
.Catch a little snippets of making this on the stories today and click on the link in the bio for full recipe 😁
.
. .
P.s. 100 points to those who can find something like this on my feeed from last year. 🙈

Wooohoo! Just finished posting the recipe for Gajar ka achar for Episode 3 of the #sweetsavorysalad series. 😍
.
. This months ingredient was Carrots ! @spoonsofflavorbybatool got "sweet" so she made a carrot cake and @afsheenowais got "salad", so she is making exactly that!
.
.I got savory 🤦‍♀️ and this got me to thinking what on earth am I supposed to make with Carrots as the hero! I looked up a recipe for carrot fries online which looked veryyyyy promising. 😭 but bohat hi barey koi flop baney! .
.
.
.
Then I tried my hands on 2 different kinds of soups, which were ok but needed lots of others veggies to make it taste good (to the point k carrot ka tu flavor bhi pata nahi chalra tha 🤪) .
.
.
My mom eventually made me go old school and make a nice Gajar ka achar 😊 do you guys buy your pickles? Which ones your favoriteeee achar? .
.
.
.
Ohh ya...full recipe link in Bio and lil snippets up in the stories right now. 😊

I am going to automatically assume that you all know what Lab e Shireen is. But Just in case I am wrong, its a light refreshing creamy custard dessert speckled with jelly and fruits and vermicelli and allllll my dreams and hopessss. Ok maybe not. .
.But its yum!!! Totally Pakistani and easy on the pocket! I think the first I had it, was at a wedding and as far as I know it's specific to Karachi. Yes or no? No idea. All I know is we all love it! And I want you guys to try it. 😍 . . . Check out the stories for a lil in depth serious Custard discussion.🙈 And for recipee...you know where the link is...(the Biooooo) .
.
.Also, answer above questions plz. I am kinda curious to know if its not as common as I thought it was.

Ok so I was going through my feed and Realised that I hadn't formally made a post about my monthly series 🙈 which honestly in my head, I had already made!. .anywhooooo!!! For new readers, and for my old constants, I just thought I'll put this out there. Since September I've been doing a monthly food challenge called the #sweetsavorysalad series. I am gonna ask 2 other bloggers to help me out with this and we are gonna make 1 salad, 1 savory dish and 1 dessert, all using the same 1 core ingredient. 😍😍😍 How exciting is that? .
.
.For september we did Cashew nuts with @myuniversalkitchen and @potsncurries which was amazing btw! (And i also made my first Igtv video that month so double yay)
.
.
Last month we did Apples with the lovely @foodboothweb and @sabika.meraj which was honestly quite challenging for me cz I was absolutely blankkkk as to what to make something savory with apples man?? But I ended up making apple chicken and it turned out goooddd! thankgodd for that! phew!! . .
.
So, obviously I am sooooooperrrrr excited for this months episode as well, which is gonna happen very soon with 2 awesomeeee bloggers. And I am just wondering what I'll make this month, and drawing a blank again 😑 hopefully Inshallah this will continue once every month. 😊...you know the series...and me freaking out with what to make with random ingredients. (Just wishing not to get dessert on the spinach month 🤪)
.
.also..Kudos to you if you can guess the ingredient this month? 😎 what do you think it is? .
.
P.s. 😁 Thankyou for getting thru the whole posttt . .

Ok so I had planned the whoooooole thing thru, all the ingredients, steps etc that I would need to pull these Spicy Chicken Tikka nachos off, the only thing I didn't account for, was the serving size 🙈 it serves 6 easy!!!! And now I am making Anas skip lunch so that we can finish this off 🙈 .

I did another blogpost this week. Whaaatt?? With all that flu? 🤪 kidding I wrote this piece on Dahi bara and kaccha masala last week and just got around to actually making the masala and taking pictures today. .
.I know chat masala etc are mostly packaged now and no one normally makes these at home anymore. (Atleast as far as I know) but this dahi bara and kaccha masala is the one thing I still like making at home, cz I use it for a lot of other recipes too (like desi batata harra) so I like to use the ratio that I know. .
Talking about these 2 masalas and how to keep your masalas fresh for longer on the blog today. Link in Bio as always. Head over if you are new to cooking or if you are pro, head over and tell me what I missed 😉.
.
.
.
.any dahi bara masala fans? Also curious. Is there any other name for it? Or like everybody only knowssss it through this name ? Will this masala always live in the shadows of dahi barey??? .

I miss Karachi whenever I come back. And most importantly I miss the food 😁 There is this kiosk/food truck in Karachi called Al Arab and they make these awesome fusion style potatoes 😍 that I HAVE TO HAVE everytime I am in Karachi. It has a nice yogurt sauce on top and some finely chopped tomatoes and spring onions. That right there...is a party platter.
.
I did, eventually, start making these at home cz half of my family is here and we all are equally crazy about these. I was going to make these eventually for you guys, and when Sarah from @twoclovesinapot asked me to join a collab for side dishes, I was like yeah ok I need potatoes in my life anyways. 🤪 .
