Happy Birthday to Me




Hey Everyone! I've decided to take a break from my regular posting today. This weekend was a mad dash to clean the house, because one of our good friends is coming to stay with us. Today is also my birthday, so I wanted to relax a bit. Hope you don't mind! ;-)

 
However, in lieu of a recipe today, I would love to hear from my readers! It would mean so much to me!


1.) What are some questions you have for me?
2.) What are some pro/cons regarding this blog?
3.) Would you like to see something else on this blog, other than recipes? Maybe articles about culture, traditions, information about Pakistan and India?




Thanks so much! Expect a new recipe next week!



Till then,


Aisha

Pakistani Chicken Curry


My Mother's Chicken Curry is by far one of my favorite dishes. I would rank it in the top ten. It was only fitting that I made this for Mother's Day, yesterday. Now, before you think anything terrible, I wanted to cook this for dinner and Hubby made a absolutely delicious breakfast of French Crepes for me. All is right in the world.


My mother's recipe consists of first blending onions, jalapenos, garlic and spices, and than tomatoes for the base. Than she adds the meat, and the final result is tender and juicy chicken with a very savory and delicious gravy. Serve with Basmati Rice and Mint Chutney and you won't be disappointed with this meal!

Kahwa- Pakistani Green Tea


Kahwa is a popular green tea drink that originates from Kashmir. It has become popular especially in Pakistan, and in parts of India. It is also enjoyed by Afghani people. It is a popular drink that was tied to celebrations and parties; but now is enjoyed as an after dinner tea.


My husband and I love to drink this tea. We drink this almost everyday in the winter. In the summer we drink it at least once or twice a week. I make a very simple version which involves loose green tea leaves and plenty of cardamom seeds. The result is a soft, yet comforting taste that is a perfect accompaniment for snuggling up and watching a movie.
