Ramadan Recipe Ideas :)
The blessed month of Ramadan is around the corner! May it be a month of great blessings and upliftment to all.
Below I have shared some recipe ideas to help you think of what to make during this holy month, something quite easy (to reserve your energy) and not so time consuming (to utilise your time for other things).

Kunafa bil jibn (kunafa with cheese)
There are different ways to make kunafa, and I have tried to share a non-complicated, straight forward accessible recipe for you. The two main ingredients that you may struggle with to make this recipe is the kataifi pastry (shredded filo dough) and the akkawi cheese. But, to make it super accessible, I researched and found online shops that sell the kataifi pastry, and used the equally delicious akkawi cheese substitute - mozzarella and ricotta, giving you no excuse to not give this a go! Enjoyyyy :)

Chicken stock rice with spiced yoghurt chicken
I recently purchased a pressure cooker, for my mother, lol but somehow I feel I am using it more than she is! This dish was made using the pressure cooker, but you can still make it without it. It just means you will adjust the cooking time of the chicken for around 20-30 mins, or until it cooks through.

Ladies of Light Tea Party
You may remember last year's ladies of light tea party, whereby I did my first ever catering for it. This year's tea party was an Afro/Caribbean theme due to Black History month. It was beautiful mashAllah. I was asked to make a Jamaican potato salad and a coconut rice salad. Alhamdulilah they turned out better than I had hoped. Hope to share the recipes with you soon.

Marinated Chicken Wrap
This is such a versatile recipe, you could use it to marinate chicken for any type of dish. I decided to make it into a sandwich wrap, you could put it over rice, as a side with bread and dips, over a salad, bbq on skewers ... the options are vast! So use this recipe to help you enjoy it in whatever way you like!

First teenage cooking class!
I was asked by the Rabata Friends, Fun and Faith camp to do a nosaibasfood cooking class. At first I was nervous as to what to do with these 13-18 year old girls, without any cooking hobs for the class. I decided to get the girls to make the tomato, olive and basil pasta from my blog, working in teams, with a blind-fold taste test at the end to determine the winner. Alhamdulilah it was a great success! Smiling faces is what I want to see - and that is exactly how the girls were during the class, alhamdulilah :).
First cooking class...complete! 😊👍

Strawberry and mint mojito
A super refreshing drink, which can be made according to the taste you prefer. The unique taste of this mojito comes from the grenadine syrup, which really elevates the flavour. Simple and so easy to make.

Chickpea raita
A perfect accompaniment to a hot curry or a rice dish. Its cooling deliciousness is so easy and quick to put together. I made it along with my bagara rice dish. There is so much room for creativity when it comes to raita, so enjoy this recipe and expand upon it as you wish.

Mediterranean feta salad - nosaibasfood style :)
It was one of those moments when you crave a delicious, juicy, flavourful salad - that satisfies both tangy and sweet flavours. This salad does all this, the sharpness from the vinegar is met by the sweetness of the dried cranberries, the juiciness from the pomegranate, the saltiness of the feta and the crunchiness of the pine nuts. It is a perfect quick salad, with so many ways to personalise it to your liking.

Soto Ayam (Malaysian chicken soup)
When you are missing Malaysia, a delicious soto ayam can really help bring back wonderful memories. This soup was one of our favourites with its depth of flavour and deliciousness. I read through a few recipes and took the best of all the different ways of making this soup. Obviously this cannot compare to the real deal in Malaysia, but it definitely comes very close to it.

Fattet humus (chickpeas with spiced yoghurt and pitta bread)
If I was to begin with expressing just how delicious this Middle Eastern starter is, it would not do it justice! It is light yet so delicious - you will have to go back for more until the whole thing is finished. The way I have made it today is thanks to my Syrian friend, who made it once and I just fell in love with how good it tasted! So I obviously enquired how it was made, and thanks to her for sharing the method with me. It is something I highly recommend you try - simple, quick and soo tasty!

Get well soon chicken soup
This is the perfect soup for when it is cold and gloomy outside, something that is full of flavour yet also full of benefits to help keep you well, or help you get well soon! The ginger, garlic, turmeric, cumin are just some of the ingredients in this soup to act as the medicine for that cloudy day. A super delicious soup, perfectly balanced! I hope you give it a go and enjoy it as much as me and my family did.

Garlic marinated roast chicken with sautéed potatoes
When you want to prepare dinner, but don't want any hassle or effort, roast chicken, for me, is the easy answer. I have made tandoori marinated chicken before:
http://www.nosaibasfood.com/2016/06/tandoori-marinated-whole-roasted-chicken.html
This garlic chicken is just super tasty, the chicken is deliciously flavoured, and the accompaniment of the buttery flavoursome sautéed potatoes is just perfect!

Chicken curry - Pakistani style
There are many ways people from the Pakistan region make their chicken curry - sometimes it varies between individual households and their preferences...this is one take on it, and may I add, a very delicious take! My family felt it was the best curry they had tasted so far! Alhamdulilah! :)
I have also previously made Bengali style chicken curry: http://www.nosaibasfood.com/2013/02/bengali-chicken-curry.html
As well as Indian style: http://www.nosaibasfood.com/2014/11/potato-chicken-curry-indian-style.html
