This year has been a strange one hasn’t it? It’s taught me many things & one of those things is that material things come & go and being PRESENT is so important.
.
.
This year although strange has also been a blessing. I’ve slowed down, I’ve focused on myself (for once) and have started a journey of healing and self awareness.
.
.
This year has taught me to enjoy my daughters and build memories with my girls and hubby and just enjoying the simple things in life.
.
.
Tonight I made a grazing table for us to munch on and sit and watch movies together. I love making grazing tables and boards & something I’d love to do more of! Here’s a list of the things I added;
.
.
Pakoras, samosas, tex mex dips, olives, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, a range of crackers, Doritos crisps, Pringles, smoked salmon, bagels, grapes, strawberries, donuts, cookies, pancakes, Nutella jars & a range of different cheeses.
.
.
I’d like to thank you all for your continuous support, love and kind messages this year. This page has grown so much this year & I wouldn’t be here without you all and I’ve loved helping you all bring delicious food to your tables ❤️

If you’ve been watching my stories you’ll know I’m trying to get fitter over the last couple of months and have been doing a step challenge with you all. Today I’ve broken my record and have managed 25,000 steps today 🙌🏽 Join me on Monday with my #mazadaarstepchallenge over on stories!
.
.
So, when it came to dinner this evening, I wanted to cook something quick, healthy & yummy! Today’s dinner was couscous, baked salmon & a side salad. Find the recipes for all 3 below 👇🏽
.
.
🍴SALMON; place the salmon on a sheet of foil. Add 1/2 tbsp light soya sauce and 1 tsp siracha chilli sauce & coat the salmon in it. Then wrap the salmon in foil and bake on gas mark 7 for 12-15 mins.
.
.
🍴 COUSCOUS for 3-4; Firstly, dissolve 1 chicken or veg stock cube in 650ml of water. Set aside.
In a pot add 2 chopped spring onions & 1 chopped red pepper. Spray some oil on the spring onion & pepper & sauté for a few mins until soft. Next, add 250g couscous, 1 tbsp pepper paste, 1 tbsp tomato purée, 2 tbsp Nando’s peri peri medium sauce, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder - mix everything together until combined. Pour over the stock, cover and leave to cook in the stock for 12-15 mins with the heat turned off. After 15 mins remove the lid & fluff up the couscous using a fork.
.
.
🍴 SALAD FOR 2; Take half a cucumber and cut it in half lengthways. Using a spoon scrape out the middle part & slice. Quarter around 10 cherry tomatoes. Chop an avocado. Peel & slice a carrot. In a large bowl add the cucumber, cherry tomatoes, avocado, carrot, mixed salad leaves & pomegranate. Season with pomegranate molasses, a sprinkle of sumac, squeeze of lime juice & salt.

Not the best picture but sometimes I just don’t have the time to set up and use props as I just wanna eat my food 😂
.
.
Tonight’s dinner was inspired by the Pakistani bun kebab - if you know you know 😋. The bun kebab is like the Pakistani McDonald’s but better! It’s a shami kebab, which is made of meat and lentils and coated in egg then fried. Served in a bun with chutney, ketchup, mayo and sold on the streets of Pakistan.
.
.
😋 You can find my shami kebab recipe on my IGTV channel
😋 My potato wedges recipe is on my website www.mazadaar.co.uk
.
.
For the dip I used 2 tbsp creme fraiche, 2 tbsp natural yoghurt, 1/2 tsp garlic salt & dried chives. Add everything to a bowl & mix.

One of my favourite ingredients EVER is eggs! What a beautiful thing they are. So many ways you can cook them, you can make a quick meal with them, they’re filling and a good source of protein.
.
.
Tonight’s dinner was khagina - spicy onion & scrambled eggs. Served with a hot roti & some chilli pickle makes a delicious simple dinner. This makes a great meal for breakfast with parathas too!
.
.
Here’s what you need;
1 onion thinly sliced
5 eggs
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
2 green chillies chopped
Small bunch coriander chopped
Few tbsp of cooking oil

What you need to do;
1. Heat the oil in a pot and add the onions, fry until they are soft and translucent.
2. Next add the salt, chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds & turmeric powder. Fry for a few mins.
3. Now crack the eggs into the pot and add the green chillies. Stir the eggs until they’re scrambled and cooked through on a high heat.
4. Garnish with coriander and garam masala.

Serve with hot roti and chilli pickle.

Russian salad, a hugely popular salad in Pakistan. In Pakistan they make this with combination of sweet and savoury flavours and it tastes amazing! .
.
The salad originates from Russia and is called the ‘Olivier’ salad and they use vegetables, egg & meat to make the salad. However, Pakistanis have made their own version by combining vegetable and fruits.
.
.
I have my own version of the things I like to add and here’s what you need;
.
.
150g boiled macaroni/pasta
200g carrots cubed & boiled
200g potatoes cubed and boiled
100g peas boiled
200g pineapple chunks
200g apples chopped
100g grapes
1 cup mayonnaise
150ml double/single cream
2 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp salt (adjust of more needed)
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp white pepper .
.
Method;
1. In a large bowl add the mayonnaise, cream, salt, icing sugar, black pepper & white pepper and mix until all combined.
2. Next add all the fruits, paste and vegetables and mix until everything is coated well.
3. Leave in the fridge to cool and enjoy cold. .
.
I’ll also be sharing step by step photos over on stories.

Tag a friend to make this for you 🤪

I’m loving @ryvitauk at the moment for lunches. It’s quick, easy and with a good topping makes it a healthy filling lunch.

One of the things I get asked a lot is how do I make my fried eggs?! So, I thought I’d do a video for you all 😀

If you’ve been watching my stories you’ll know I made keema karahi for my hubby’s birthday at the weekend. This is his favourite dish and it’s a great one to make for a special occasion.
.
.
This keema karahi is made using boneless meat that is cut into mince by hand (or an electric chopper). It tastes totally different to the mince you get at the butchers and once cooked tastes amazing!
.
.
This way of cooking mince is popular in Pakistan and it’s called ‘haath ka kuta hua keema’ meaning mince cut by hand.
.
.
I’ve shared the step by step recipe on stories @mazadaar so head over to check it out. I’ll also be adding it to highlights.

As the days are getting shorter and colder all I want is warm comfort food!
.
.
One dish that we love throughout winter is Suji ka halwa, a real classic across all Pakistani homes. This is such a quick halwa to make and it only requires a few ingredients. It’s made using semolina and it’s a quick dish to whip up.
.
.
This can be served for breakfast with puris or eaten on its own with a cup of tea. We like to eat it for dessert too.
What you need;
200g ghee
200g fine semolina (suji)
400g caster sugar
5-6 green cardamom pods
15g coconut
15g almond flakes
1 ltr water .
.
What you need to do;
.
.
1. First make the sugar syrup, bring 1 ltr of water to the boil in a kettle and pour it into a saucepan. Add the sugar to it. Mix until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
2. In a seperate wok/pan heat the ghee and add the cardamom pods and cook for a few seconds until they release an aroma.
3. Now add the semolina and mix into the ghee. You need to cook the semolina on a medium flame for 9-10 mins and continually mix to stop it from burning. This is called ‘bhuning’ and will brown the semolina and also take the raw taste of the semolina away.
4. Once you’ve cooked the semolina for 9-10 mins in the ghee turn the flame to low. Then slowly add the sugar syrup and mix well.
5. Cover and cook for 3-4 mins on a low flame.
6. Remove the lid and add almond flakes and coconut & mix. .
.
Serve warm with puris or eat warm or cold on its own. .
.
Tips; - when you cook the semolina in the ghee for 9-10 mins don’t rush it. It’s an important stage and you want the semolina to take on a dark colour with a nutty aroma. - You can reduce the sugar according to your taste. We like our halwa quite sweet. - You can also add raisins and nuts of your choice. - When adding the sugar syrup do it carefully as it will splutter and will be hot. - Once the halwa cools down it does solidify a little but this is normal. .
