Side Dishes – Butter Over Bae

Side Dishes

Every good food spread needs a side dish or side dishes!

I for one, go all out when I am throwing parties at my place or just preparing the weekend dinner. A good main course needs a buddy! A well laid out dinner or party menu has a couple of sides happening. It might be fried food, finger food, dips or some form of protein that compliments that Mains. Browse through this category to find fun ideas and awesome recipes for your sides selection. We have evergreen Asian

dips like Mint Chutney and unique ones like Asian Bruschetta dip. Or if you like, you can pair your Mains with fried food like Mac n Cheese fry. I have also put up healthy recipes for sides to chose from, like the Chicken and Oats kebabs or the Sweet and Sour Vegetable sticks. Go through the recipes and let us know what you like! I am always looking forward to hearing from you guys!

I know you see squares and I know you are going to

I know you see squares and I know you are going to raise eyebrows when I say these are called "gold coins". There is a simple explanation... and that is...that I was too lazy to cut them in circles 🤪 .

I don't know who came up with this "original name" but no matter what shape I cut these bread and potato snacks, I always end up calling it gold coins 😂. .

Fun fact: i first saw Naheed Ansari make these on some tv show back when I was in school and I have loved these ever since! .
.
Full recipe on the blog. Link in Bio!

Have you had these before?

Never more exciter than when I am making something

Never more exciter than when I am making something outside my comfort zone.
This months episode of Sweet Savory Salad explored the possibilities of...STRAWBERRIES!
This berry and spinach salad saved my face, because I had almost given up 🙈
.
.
How do you like your berries? In cream? With chocolate? Or...as is 😁
Gotta thank my girls @chaiandchurros @mariumhosein for making the sweet and savory dishes for the challenge. Its up on their stories rn! Go check!

Also...full recipe link with tips tricks and deets up on the bio!

So Shrimp karhayi happened on the stories today! H

So Shrimp karhayi happened on the stories today! Honestly I only just had it last year for the first time. And I don't think its something I make too often, but when that sea-food craving hits.... I end up making this 😁 .
.
Have you guys had it before? What was the verdict if you did? Cz I am kinda like only fried shrimps kinda person 🤪 making this for a dawat was kinda new to me but worked out quite well thankfully!
.
.
Full recipe link in the Bio and a video tutorial up on the stories!

Hullo hulloooooo!!! 😁 Can't believe I attempted

Hullo hulloooooo!!! 😁 Can't believe I attempted this! A mirror glaze cake! And if you can see your reflection in the cake...then you know...you did it!! Shamelessly patting myself on the back for it!
.
. I made this cake for Roosevelt Series by @foodboothweb and I loved pushing my limits! It actually wasn't as scary as it looks. And took a total of half an hour from start to finish (but i was filming so I took a whole day 😛)
.
.
The process is up on the stories rn if you want to see how this happened, and I think I might put it up on highlights too. Lets see . .
.
. I used @recipesbycarina Mirror glaze Recipe on youtube! And it was perfect, the only change I would make is add another 1/4 cup of water to the recipe. .
.If you plan to attempt this, here's a couple of things I learnt in my attempt: .
. ➡️ The glaze will form a layer on the top as it cools down, so make sure you stir it from time to time while it cools down. .
➡️ Put a sheet of cling wrap on the tray you are going to do the pour on, so that you have less clean up to do later.
.
. ➡️ The colors in lesser quantity will cool down first, so reheat them in the over for 20 secs to make sure that all your colors cool down together. .
.
.
➡️ You can reheat the mix for 20 sec if it starts to thicken up and it'll thin out again
. .
.
. ➡️ The glaze itself tastes surprisingly yum! But its sweet! Like reallyyy sweet! So if you plan to make it, use very little frosting on the cake and also reduce the sugar quantity in your cake by 25%.
. .
.
➡️ And the easiest way to clean up the mess was to pour hot water all over the bowls and slab, it was all cleaned up in a jiffy. .
. ➡️ Happyyyy experimenting!!! Ohhhh and I was wondering, if you guys made this, what color combo would you opt for?? . . ..

So I made this cute lil demo video for the Biscoff

So I made this cute lil demo video for the Biscoff cake and frosting....😭 and my phone was just too jelli for some reason! And it got deleted before I could save it. I do have pictures and everything up on the post though. 🙈 it would be great to hear something nice right about now. Anway...I did write the full recipe. Link is in Bio.

#feelingblue 😑

Remember the cake icing challenge I did a couple o

Remember the cake icing challenge I did a couple of weeks ago? This is what it looks like when sliced open! Anddddd I finally got down to making another batch of this Lotus Biscoff Cake and I can't wait to put it up! Hopefully the blogpost will ready by Thursday 🙈 .

Also tried to channel my inner cakexpert @sweetographer while trying tp take pictures of this thinggg that I still can't believe I created 😍

In the meantime, here are a couple of things this "recording and icing" experience taught me:

1. You can make your cake wayyyyy in advance for any event. Just freeze it as soon as it cools down so it doesnt lose the freshness.
2. And you'll have to let your cake thaw when you are ready to ice 🙈 (otherwise it'll be a like chain saw massacre. Don't ask how I know that)

3. Basic drinking straws can replace cake dowels for smaller cakes 😁

4. You gotta really have a thick icing layer on between cake stacks for it to look pretty when you cut the cake.
5. Always have room in your freezer when you are making a cake. Hopefully nothing goes wrong, but if something is melting or separting or tilting, atleast you can throw it in the freezer for 15 mins and fix it.

6. Find a butter cream recipe that works for your country. People living Warmer cities likes lets say Karachi 🤪...can have a buttercream seperating problem very easily. Even though that recipe will work just fine for people in the colder regions.
7. Never add warm stuff to your cake. 😭 Just please dont! Unless its a drip cake. In which case, please do 🤪
.
.
So yeah! I paired this Biscoff cake with Cream cheese frosting. What has been your biggest cake blunder ?

So I am pretty well adapted to life here in Jeddah

So I am pretty well adapted to life here in Jeddah and usually am very well adjusted. But no matter how many times I go back to Karachi or Dubai, a part of me just feels home sick all over again once I come back. 🤷‍♀️ .
.
Eh what can you do right? On the plus side I got tons of food with me 😁 so minimum to no cooking over the next month. (Its ironic I know but no cooking makes me happy too ok?) .
. In the meantime Imma gonna leave this here on my feed ...cz awain...🤷‍♀️ .
.
.
P.s. watchya having for dinner today? Imma gonna open my pack of bihari kebab 😁

Mix chana chaat: has veggies, crunch, chickpeas, yogurt and condiments.
My brain: wow that's a salad! I should load up on it cz a....nutrients? 🤷‍♀️ .
.

Just thought I'd drop by a lil pet peeve of this d

Just thought I'd drop by a lil pet peeve of this decade 😁
.
.
I think one of the concepts of this decade or 2019 that I did not like was the idea of being "woke". This word was thrown around so casually by people who thought they had made progress in some way. But it felt like by saying "woke", it meant that they had reached the ultimate EPITOME of progression and there is nothing else for them to learn anymore. I preferred "enlightened" or "evolved" so much more because it always left a room for improvement and more adaptation.
.
.At some point, Newton's theory of gravity being a pulling force must have seemed "woke" for the people who studied it. But if you've read any recent literature on that topic, you know that Einsteins theory of relativity plus a couple of other things, makes Gravity more of Pushing force than a pulling one. (Can you believeeee Pheobe was right all along?) Point being, all ideas are subject to change the more we learn about it. Hence my mini rant about how I don't like this word "woke" 🤪 is because of how "final" it seems to be. And also lets be honest, a lil obnoxious too 🤪

Clearly I have given this some thought 😂 .
Also, this Apple Cinnamon Latte that I created this year was one of my favs for winter season, you might want to try it before the cold goes away. Search for drink recipes on my site to get the recipe.
.
.okkkk so I will See ya in 2020 people! Wooohoooooo❤🎉🎉

Does anyone remember me whining about how hard thi

Does anyone remember me whining about how hard this Lahori Chargha was to capture yesterday? 🙈 ok even if you don't....it was 🤪 .
.
.
Cooked Lahori Chargha is so soft and tender from inside and nice, crispy golden from the outside that lock all the flavors within. Served with a veryyyyy generous amount of chat masala and lemon juice sprinkled allll over it 😍😍😍😍
.
.
.This is the Last recipe of 2k19 and I am so happy that it was a requested recipe which makes it super special for me to make 😁 .
We love this with pulao or fries at our home. What do your favorite Chargha buddy? Fries? Chutney? Or something else entirely! Temmmeeeeeee
.
.Full recipe with tips, tricks, alternatives and step by step is on the blog and link is obviously in the Bio. .
